Unfortunately, there is a misunderstanding when Frazer collects the car, and he takes the Mayor's Rolls Royce instead. A great flap ensues, which is calmed down by the accusation that the Mayor's chauffeur obviously had not disabled the car when he left it, which takes the wind out of the angry Mayor's sails. Of course the Mayor's car is now not black but camouflaged, so Frazer has to spray it again. In the background the town is preparing for the visit of a Free French General.

Bott and Sleeny are captured by the force; the former is sent to prison but Farnham has pity on Sleeny as a good workman, and the carpenter serves only a few days. The settlement of the strike in Clearfield takes the wind out of the Buffland action, and soon most are back at work, though some agitators are dismissed. Offitt, despite being one of the leaders of the assault on the Belding house, has escaped blame and befriends the sullen Sleeny on his release.

Oldschool received a mixed reception. Writing for the Süddeutsche newspaper online, Max Fellmann identifies the "common threads" of the album as, "Nena's age... the passing of time and the horror of how long ago the 80s are already". Describing the album as involving, "a bit too much computer", he identifies its highlight as "Berufsjugendlich" ("Professional Teen") which is, "so smart that you have to laugh", with a lyric which, "takes the wind out of the sails of any critic". A drawback, however, is that he could not "find the one really big hit even after repeated listening". "Laut.de" (a site that gives all Nena albums a negative review) maintained their record of excoriating Nena’s work by awarding Oldschool one star out of five and describing it as an album, "bringing together things which should be separated as soon as possible", including Nena and the album’s producer Samy Deluxe, "fifteen years too late". The reviewer did, however, admit to being taken aback by one track "Bruder" ("Brother"), a song about Nena’s first son who died in 1989 at the age of 11 months.
