where he shared a room with a boy named Tyler.

of. Beaker Returns (2012)

One day, Lizanne,

Daniel kid at Burnywood,
Pearson
accidentally set Qre to cushions with her hair
straighteners. This led to Rick and the other residents
(including their care worker) having to live at Elm Tree
House.

Tracy Beaker Returns: Series 3

Rick and Tyler ended up moving into Sapphire's old

bedroom, which was now free as Sapphire had moved
out to live in a Uat. Unfortunately, the previous year,
Tyler had stolen Carmen's belongings when she had
stayed temporarily at Burnywood the previous year.
This led to Rick having his belongings taken with
Tyler's when Carmen (with Elektra's help) decided to
exact revenge on Tyler and the pair did not know what
belonged to Rick and Tyler.

After this in the episode Firestarter, another Qre broke

out, this time at Elm Tree House. Rick was initially
hesitant to help Tracy and Gus, who were attempting
to Qnd out who started the Qre. Rick revealed that he
had seen Lizanne carrying the smouldering cushions
(which she had set on Qre with her hair straighteners)
into the back garden, as well as discovering that
cigarettes had been planted in Kitty's room (to frame
her), which he tossed out of the window, only for
them to hit Tracy (who had been sent home by
Dennis, the Burnywood careworker who forced
control from Mike, as a punishment for Gus falling
through the attic's Uoor).

Rick was fostered prior to the episode Shadows.

However, he got into a Qght with his foster brother
and returned to live at Elm Tree House in the episode
Eggs. Rather than move in with Tyler again, Rick
moved into Liam's old room, as Liam had left to live
with his brother.

On the day Rick returned to the DG, the other young

people were taking part in a task Tracy had arranged
where they were put into pairs and made to look after
an egg for the day. If all of the eggs were intact by the
following day, the young people would be rewarded
with a new computer (the existing one had been
wrecked prior to the episode). If any of the eggs were
cracked, there would be no computer. Rick ended up
in a group of three with Carmen and Harry, where Rick
decided to decorate their egg to look like Carmen.

In Justine Littlewood Returns, Rick was present at the

lunch where Justine brought her Qancé for lunch. He
sussed out that the Qancé was a fraud after
recognises the con he talks about when he explains
how he met Justine where he stole Justine's purse,
then pretended to have found it. He says his Father
called it 'the old steal and return' and was how his
parents met. Rick agreed to keep quiet about this, in
return for Justine's Qancé getting the kids a new
laptop (as the kids were still without a computer).
Eventually however, Rick told Justine that her Qancé
was not all he seemed.

Rick knows when people are lying; in Episode 7

(Justine Littlewood Returns - mentioned above) Tracy
lies about loving Seth to Rick whilst touching her
nose. He tells her that she's not telling the truth. He
also hints that Justine's Qance is a con-man by

saying that he could be dealing with Pro Liars.

After Season Two of TDG, he along with Faith

disappear, however Faith later returns and is
mentioned, leaving Rick the only character to in TDG,
to disappear after a season and never be mentioned
again.
