To make matters worse, Gwen is struggling to fit in at Malory Towers. She feels out of place amongst the other girls, who all seem to come from wealthy backgrounds. Gwen is from a working-class family and is struggling to keep up with the rest of the students. She also feels embarrassed about her old and worn-out school uniform compared to the other girls' smart uniforms.

Despite Gwen's struggles, she is determined to fit in and make friends. She decides to join the school's lacrosse team, even though she has never played before. However, Gwen's lack of experience doesn't stop her from giving it her all, and she impresses the team with her determination and natural talent.

Meanwhile, Darrell and her friends are preparing for an upcoming match against a rival school. During their practice, the girls notice something odd - their lacrosse balls keep going missing. They suspect that someone is playing a trick on them and are determined to find out who.

As they investigate, Darrell comes across Gwen sneaking around the school grounds. She immediately assumes Gwen is up to no good and confronts her. But Gwen has a surprise up her sleeve - she has been practicing her lacrosse skills with the missing balls and has become a skilled player.

Realizing that Gwen has been the one playing the trick on them, Darrell and her friends turn their anger into admiration. They invite Gwen to join their team for the upcoming match, and Gwen finally feels like she has found her place at Malory Towers.

"The Trick" is a heartwarming tale of friendship and acceptance. It highlights the importance of not judging people too quickly and the value of hard work and determination. The episode also showcases the school's beautiful grounds and buildings, as well as the fantastical world of boarding school life.
