The episode begins with Marcus and Fionn, introducing the series and the collaborative effort behind it.
Marcus shares his thoughts on the project's aim to provide authentic drug education to young people, contrasting it with traditional classroom teaching methods. The dialogue progresses into a chronological review of previous episodes, featuring interviews with recovering addicts like Ryan and Carlos. Ryan discusses the challenges in communicating his experiences with his family due to hidden disabilities, reflecting on how addiction and recovery are perceived within familial contexts.
Carlos highlights the emotional journey of interviewing recovering addicts, expressing initial anxieties and the unexpected relatability of their stories. Through conversations with Marcus, Carlos finds common ground in shared experiences, despite having not encountered addiction personally.

As the production team recounts their interviews, they recognize the accessibility of addiction in everyday life and the need for genuine understanding.
The series aims to level with young people, offering them insights from those who have lived through addiction rather than adults lecturing them. Marcus concludes the episode by thanking everyone involved in the project, expressing hope that the series will educate and inspire its audience. 'Knowing The Score' serves as a testament to the transformative power of storytelling, providing a platform for voices often unheard in discussions about addiction.
Through personal reflections and shared experiences, the series offers a fresh perspective on drug education and recovery, fostering empathy and understanding among listeners.
