Directed by: Steve Jodrell Written by : John Rapsey 002 [1.02-96] Episode 2 / Duell um die Ehre With Tran, calling himself 'Noodle', now at the Academy, Tom - who's stilled miffed at his coach's not telling him that Noodle joins the Academy - is soon out for a challenge. Although Tom wants it and Don also kind of looks forward to it, coach Sid however doesn't approve the one-on-one - which isn't a hurdle too high to get over. Danny isn't very pleased about the material the Academy provides, and with the Academy short on money Danny wants to get a new bike on his own - which requires a job: and one calling for 'hunky & spunky' guys is soon found. Tom and Tats try to avoid each other, which isn't easy at the Academy. Noodle paints his room artfully.
