To compound matters in a freak accident a Meteorite lands in their garden destroying part of the house in the process. Jake wakes up in hospital after a few weeks later to find out he nearly died, and their house is still under investigation. Dad arrives at hospital with three police officers who sneak them out and to their new temporary accommodation.
