Good morning, everyone! Postcard from Tracy Beaker!, Elaine said as she walks into the living room to find them watching TV as Crash took the postcard.
I bet you're all desperate to hear about her holiday with Cam, aren't you?, she said as Crash read the postcard.
"Dear losers, Egypt is great...Cam and I are having a fantastic time. Wish you were all here. Well, er, maybe not all of you. See you soon!", Crash read out.
Isn't it nice of Tracy to write? You children haven't listen to a word I've said. There are studies indicating that watching too much violence on TV can lead to aggressive behaviour!, Elaine said as she looked at the kids as she switched off the TV as Crash looked at them as well.
I'd say they're more comatose than aggressive. Just blink if you're there, Crash said as they all blinked violently as Elaine stumbled back in fear.
Ooh, you're right, Elaine, that was a very violent blink, he said.
As long as I'm acting head care-worker, I'm going to dedicate myself to helping these children to learn to play again!, Elaine said as she and Crash walk away.
Did someone just say something?, Rio said.

Elaine walks in with a puppet theatre whilst Mike was vacuuming as the kids were watching TV.
Right! No more TV today, Elaine said as she pulls the plug causing both the vacuum and TV to turn off.
Oi!, They all said looking at her in disbelief.
I've got more important things to do in here, Elaine said as she pulls the puppet theatre in front of the TV.
Elaine! The house won't clean itself!, Mike exclaims.
Duke would've have had it done by now, Elaine said.
Well, good old Duke!, Mike mockingly said as Mack sniffs the air.
Uh, Mike? I smell something burning, Mack said as Mike's eyes widen in shock.
Oh, no!, Mike said as he leaps over the sofa and runs to the kitchen with Mack following behind.
