Tracy struggles to prove herself as an efficient and effective assistant care worker at Elmtree House, while trying to repair her relationship with her adoptive mother. Tracy's first days at The 'Dumping Ground' prove challenging for her, the residents, and the current care workers. She also comes to terms with the Kettle Sisters - Lily, Rosie and Poppy - who all have wild imaginations; and the Taylor siblings, Johnny and Tee. Both Lily and Johnny are extremely over-protective of their siblings and get frustrated when people interfere. Tracy allows her concerns over her own life to take priority over the residents of the Dumping Ground and resigns from her job, but is later re-hired. She bonds with the children in her care, ultimately deciding to turn down a position which she was offered as a full-time reporter. Tracy realises that if she were to take on the new role, she would miss the children too much.
