This episode starts with Georgina scrolling through the phone which is against the rules of the school to have a mobile phone in school. Her friend finds her in class sending a text and she gives a lame excuse that she doesn’t get to see the boyfriend who is on midterm now, so she has to carry a phone to school and chat with him. Again in the library the friend finds Georgina sending pornographic messages to the boyfriend and starts conversing with Georgina and warning her against it, according to what Georgina confesses she doesn’t like the whole idea of sending pornographic messages but she is doing it just to please the boyfriend, but after talking to her friend she realizes its something wrong and she needs to stop it.



The next day Georgina’s classmates are laughing at her after they got nude pictures of Georgina which were sent by the ex boyfriend and they are making fun of her and it affects her coz she cant concentrate in class so she and her friend decide to seek for advise from the deputy principal (Miss. Morgan), she was mad at first for them having cell phones in school but then she advises them and explains to them that the reason they are not allowed to have phones in school is to prevent them from such things so that they can concentrate on their studies.



On the other hand Omosh gets a phone at a cheaper price but he doesn’t know that the phone was stolen. He later discovers that it was stolen from one of the teachers in school and he was in a dilemma on whether to return it or not, he was worried that he would lose the phone and he wouldn’t get his money back. But then he decides to take it to the teacher and the teacher was so grateful and he gives him twice what he paid for the phone as a sign of appreciation.



There are several camera shots in this episode like zooming in and out, panning up and down, long shot and angle shot, the lighting was good in dark rooms we still saw the faces clearly, when the students were making fun of Georgina one could hear the different comments so an omni directional microphone was used it picked sounds from all sides.
