Goodman is requested to treat an aggressive Japanese leaf worm disease that has apparently broken out on a farm, affecting its crops. After the group arrive, it transpires that the unscrupulous owner of the farm, Harry Fellside, is using illegal, highly toxic nerve agent chemicals to promote the growth of his plants, and ruthlessly forcing his captured 'climeys' (climate refugees) that have migrated from a similarly-flooded France into brutal lives of slave labour exploitation.

February 13, 2000
The children respond to a distress call from Loppergarth Island. When they arrive, they find Loppergarth Island deserted, save for Gemma, a sleep-deprived young girl in shock after a week of compulsively trying to stay awake. They eventually ascertain that her parents and the rest of the populace have been consuming contaminated gull eggs, causing them to fall under a shared hallucination and gather to become comatose in the village church for an otherworldly crystal entity.
1x6 - Yesterday Island
February 20, 2000
Having ran out of fuel while at sea, the children are given no choice but to moor their boat on the nearest possible island. Whilst there, they discover a museum dedicated to preserving parts of the time before the floods, looked after by a strange middle-aged woman with a literal 'eye socket' named Polly Phemus. Upon trying out her old virtual reality video games, it becomes clear she is trying to trap them, and the group strive to break out of the virtual world and get back to real life.
1x7 - Beware of the Dog
February 27, 2000
In need of an old car part to power Goodman's broken electricity generator, Ash and Greg travel to the Cartmel scrap market. The boys find the part for sale, however its owner demands too high of a price. They decide to try their luck at Devil's Island, a mound of land largely consisting of a giant scrapyard. While looking around the site, they discover that it is inhabited by numerous feral, mutant dog-like children of varying morality, living as a pack amongst the vast waste.

1x10 - Paradise Island
March 19, 2000
Greg takes a bored Mai-Li and Ash on a boat tour around the nearby islands to avoid staying cooped up indoors. They subsequently receive a morse code message from Paradise Island.

Ash meets Luke, another 'sender', and is lured to fall in with Skylar, a Fagin-like crook who convinces young telepaths to steal for him. In return, Skylar provides them with Tags, dangerous chemical strip patches that can stimulate and enhance their telepathic abilities at the risk of serious side effects. Before he can stop using them, Ash comes perilously close to burnout and health complications.
