You came back straight
after the attack.

You haven't had any counselling.
I don't need counselling!

If what had happened to you,
happened to me,

I would be in counselling.

These are the last ones.

Any more and me nan'll notice.
Thank you.

They reckon it's a drugs overdose.

I know you've been supplying Tonya
painkillers. I'm screwed, aren't I?

May as well move in with
you two, innit?

Looks like we're fostering
Schuey, then.

Libby, I have to ask.
Has Jared ever hurt you?

What? No!

I've sorted us a place.
The caravan, in my dad's garden.

Move in together?
Please say yes, Lib.

Jared cares more about me
than anyone ever has

and you can't stand it!
Libby!

You need to get it in your
head that me and Jared

have got a future together and
you're not a part of it.

I'm the only one stupid enough
to put up with you

and this is the way you treat me?

I love you so much,
you make me feel like I'm nothing!

Jared you're hurting me.

holding the door

Sorry, I wasn't looking out.

I'll sort it out, I swear.

Hey, it's OK.

They were getting old anyway,
all right?

You know, we don't have to go to
this university day,

if you're not feeling yourself.

No, I want to.
I want to see it together.

As long as you don't go
making any more mess.

LINE RINGS

Please leave your message
after the tone.

Hi, Mum. Can you call
me back, please?

Miss you.

Hey, you all right? You look better
than last time I saw you.

Yeah, well, I still think she could
have done with a few more days off.

She was "sick of being stuck in with
only her mum to talk to."

Yeah, well, Izzy said she'll
call over and keep you company.

She's coming over to
stay for a few days.

Yeah, she erm...

She messaged. She's got a lot
of questions about her big brother.

Yeah, well, hopefully I can give her
some answers this weekend.

Good luck with that!

Go on, how's she really doing?

Well, it's a lot,

but at least the doctors are taking
her seriously now,

and she doesn't have to go
scrounging for pills.

Hey, look, Ashton feels
really bad about that.

I don't think he realised what
could have happened.

He could have killed her.
Yeah, I know.

Ashton's mum hit the roof
when she found out.

Apparently, he's been staying
at Dwayne's until it all calms down.

How do they manage to get
themselves in such a mess?

Yeah, Ashton is a pro at it.

Oh, saying that though, I think
I was just as bad at his age.

Well, yeah. I mean you'd been
married, in prison,

and had a kid by the time you
were 18.

So absolutely you were, yeah.
Yeah, good point.

Hard watching your kids make
the same mistakes though, innit? Mm.

Well, listen, good luck with Izzy
this weekend.

See you. See you.

I'm so sorry.
Not your fault.

My dad's been looking for a way to
get me out for years.

He went ballistic when he found out,
like I was some big-time dealer.

What, for giving
out your nan's pills?

Hmm, pretty sure you wouldn't get
a Netflix series for that.

Just an excuse
he needed to get rid of me.

I don't think he ever actually
wanted me there.

I'm sure that's not true.

Wait, your mum isn't going to
let him chuck you out, is she?

Prefer it at Dwayne's anyway.

Can't stay forever though.

You're just saying that cos you
can't handle me

kicking your arse at an all-night
gaming marathon.

See, you're all mouth in the virtual
world but can't handle a real game.

Oh-ho-ho, OK, you're on.

THUMPING HEARTBEAT ECHOES

Morning! Hey.

I'm sure she's avoiding us.

She left me on read three times
yesterday, I know she is.

I'll speak to her on the trip today,
find out what's going on.

No way she'll talk to you
when he's around.

Well, he's always around though.

That's the problem.

We should do a petition to keep
it online.

Can't beat parents' evening
in your PJs.

It was a lot easier when you could
say the link had run out

and just cut them off.

Err, that is outrageous, Val.

Don't pretend you never did it.
Morning, everyone. Morning!

I hope you're all looking
forward to the parents' evening,

our first in person since Covid.

I'm at a trust meeting now, and then
I'm out at an appointment but

Coral is leading on this, so she can
answer any questions in my absence.

Thank you. Yeah, I think the most
important thing

is that everyone is prepared, hmm?

So we stay on schedule.

Good luck, we didn't get out
until midnight one year.

So, I have put together... If you
could do the honours, Val. Yeah.

..some handy phrases on how to
pass on parents politely.

"It's been a productive discussion,
let's work together

"to ensure your child receives the
support to excel."

Just tell them to sling their hook.

And also we have the History
Department's university trip today.

And, finally,
as many of you will be aware,

Coral will be heading
off on maternity leave next week.

So I'm pleased to announce that
covering the role during her absence

will be Nisha Chandra.

SCATTERED APPLAUSE

As from today, they'll be working
together on a handover.

OK, thank you.

Joseph, can I have a word please?
Mm, yeah.

Err, congratulations.

Bit of a surprise.

Well, you know me, Marc.

I'm always happy to step up
when the team need me.

I will have to call on you though,

to do a bit more of your fabulous
work in the department.

Err...

Hey, Nisha...

Still don't know what
they were thinking. Hmm.

Well, as irreplaceable as you are,
my love, they did need cover quick.

Everyone knows
she does the least amount possible.

I have spent months getting
things in order.

Give her a week
and it'll be mayhem. Hmm.

Well, that won't be your problem

because we'll be dealing with
a little mayhem of our own.

Bingo!

Jared's parents' appointments.

If Libby won't talk to us,

then maybe his dad can get
through to him.

Speaking of Libby, I was going to
catch you at parents' evening.

Miss Cho still hasn't received her
art coursework

and it's due tomorrow.

This is getting ridiculous.

She's hardly in lessons any more,
what's she doing with her time?

Well, yeah.
But still, you know, she...

She can't just throw it all away
in the last minute over some boy.

She used to be such a good student.

She's going to fail if she doesn't
get her sketchbook in.

Oh, she'll get it in,
don't worry.

Save that. Oh!

All the appointment for parents'
evening have gone.

Disappeared. What've you done?

Err, nothing. I just pressed...
Well, I didn't... I don't...

Oh, is that the time? Oh, my coach
should be here now.

Could you have a little...
Thank you. Neil!

Oi! Yo, get in the classroom, man.

Hey, no pushing in the corridor,
please.

In your classroom please.
Mr Weever!

I've just been hearing how much
progress you've made in maths

recently, let's not undo all that
good work, shall we?

Yeah, sure.

And I've noticed that your grades
are going up across the board.

So I was just hoping that one of
your guardians or social workers

might be at the
parents' evening tonight,

so that we can
capitalise on that progress.

Yeah, erm...

Don't think they actually
give a monkey's.

Well, I'm sure that's not true.

Hah. Yeah, erm...

I had six social workers in the past
two months.

One of them called me
Chewy the other day.

Oh, right, I see. Yeah.

I could ask Mr Casey to do it.

Why would he want do that?

Well, nothing's obviously erm,
official yet,

but I'm meant to be
moving in there next week, so...

With Mr Casey?

Yeah, if the, you know,
fostering goes all right.

So, if there's anyone to speak to,
it's probably him.

Are you, err, excited for bingo
night later?

Grandad's not going out.

Had a row with one of his mates over
who had the lucky dabber last week.

So I can't come round? Yeah, of
course, we'll just...

..tell him we're in my room doing
homework or sommat.

What if he catches us?

Aren't I worth the risk?

I don't know.

He did used to be a butcher.

Thanks a lot, Noel. Do you not want
to spend alone time together?

You know I do.

Right,
but there's always people in at mine

and I can't concentrate, right,
when I know your grandad's there.

Why don't we find somewhere to
be alone here?

Here?

Where?

Well, everyone's
gone on this history thing

and hardly anyone uses
the library anyway.

Unless you are that vanilla?

BELL RINGS

Meet me in the library later.
I'm free period two. Right.

I've actually got music with
Miss Chambers and there's...

There's no way she's going
to let me out.

If you wanted to badly enough,
you'd find a way.

So, I was thinking when I go to uni,

I might like reinvent myself,
like as a goth or something.

Oh, Sir, can we go to the student
union when we get there?

This trip is for you to see how
a history degree

sets you up for a future career,

not about how you discover the
cheap cider in the union bar.

Come on.

Oh, I was just going to get a seat.

Err, you won't be able to
come today.

Apparently you still haven't
handed in your final art sketchbook.

But it's not due until tomorrow.

What is going on with you, Libby?

You were always the first to
hand your work in

and then you'd hassle
the teachers for feedback.

Now you're barely doing
any work at all.

I'll finish it when we get back.
No.

No, you will stay here
and finish it today.

No, I can't!

Surely you can be apart
from Jared for one day.

I... I just really wanted to
see the uni.

Yeah, I know and I am sorry,
but I know what you're capable of

and, funnily enough, it's better
than what I did in school.

I just...
I don't want you to look back

and regret throwing
away your opportunities.

I'm sorry, you're staying.

Err, going somewhere?

I left my wallet in my locker.

Yeah, I can lend you some cash.

I'll be quick.

We're already running behind.

ENGINE STARTS

Let's go, driver.

This week we are
diving into algebraic expressions.

Now remember, like terms are the
key to simplifying equations.

For example, 16 divided by two
equals eight... Oi.

So, you know how you were
saying about staying longer at mine?

Look, I was only messing about
kicking your arse at gaming

at night.
I'll let you win sometimes.

An algebraic expression can be made
straightforward by like terms...

Look, I know things are rough
at home with your mum and dad.

Thing is my mum asked me
to have a word, see if you could

maybe find somewhere else to stay.

No. If you two are going to talk
while I'm teaching, you can

go back to your normal sets
and leave a place for somebody

who is interested
in the Advanced Learning Programme.

So, erm, like terms..

She wants me out?

Not straight away,
but she's only just sober.

She can't be dealing with
three teenagers.

But I've nowhere else to go.

I'm sure if it comes to it,
your mum'll let you back.

What if she doesn't?

Look, I'm sorry, I don't know what
else I'm supposed to do.

So, what am I meant to do?
I'll be out on the street.

Right, Ashton, out!

I said no talking.

That's not fair,
it wasn't just me talking.

Well, you were the one that
I noticed. Always am, aren't I?

Oh, just get out. Now.

Two words, Joseph.
Schumacher Weever.

Oh, what's he done now?

He's just told me
that you're going to foster him.

Ah, yeah. Erm, yeah.

I was going to talk to you once
we were sure it was going ahead.

Yes, well, you should have come
and talked to me straight away.

Well, I realise you may have
concerns,

but Mike
and I have fostered pupils before.

And, I mean, Kim never had any
issues.

Oh, good for Kim. I think it's a
huge conflict of interest.

Seriously?

I've got to go to an appointment
now, we can discuss this later.

Honestly, I think it's a
car crash waiting to happen.

But, Stella, we've got his hopes up.

Well, perhaps you shouldn't have.

I'm not saying that you
should not foster,

I'm just saying not
one of our pupils.

We've had enough drama
recently, thank you.

Err, tell Coral I'll be
back for parents' evening.

That's if the system's up
and running.

Whereabouts are you off to?

I told you, dentist.

Oh, I hope it's not too painful.

Ah, smell that?

The whiff of young
dreams and ambition.

Smells like BO to me.

And here's our student guide.

And I happen to know she's
excellent at her subject.

Well, I owe it all to you,
Mr Guthrie.

Oh, no that's not true, Caz.

Well, maybe a bit.

Right, could you all follow me
to the history department.

Off you go.

Surely you're not leaving us are
you, Jared?

Caz is about to show us around.

No, of course not.

After you.

Interesting.

What's it meant to be?

Self portrait, can't you tell?

I started late after I switched
from drama.

Not sure it's any good.

It's better than I could do.

I don't care any more. I just want
to get it done, get Dad off my back.

He stopped me from going on the
uni trip to stay and finish it.

Guess he just wants to make sure
you get the best grades you can.

I just can't seem to
concentrate any more.

Maybe you need a break.

I'm going for a walk at lunch,
want to come?

I can't.

Because of Jared?

No, he's not even here.

So, he'd never know you went.

And he'd be fine if he did know.

I need to stay here and finish this.

But you just said
you can't concentrate.

And feels like we've not
spoken for ages.

I've not told you about Dad
and Coral's baby name saga.

Bad? He wants a historical name,
she wants literary.

Last week they were
seriously considering Caesar.

Poor kid.

Suppose I could do with some air.

See you at lunch.

What are you doing here?

They made me stay behind.
What are you doing?

Well, I'm not doing
nothing now, am I?

DOOR OPENS

Stella Drake? Mr Rimmer?

Just call me Jack.

Hey, why are you not in class?

I got chucked out.

I didn't do anything, Dwayne were
the one who were talking.

Yeah, well, you
shouldn't have responded.

Well, it's pretty hard
when your life is falling apart.

Listen, I know things are difficult
with your mum and dad right now,

but things will calm down.

Well, I'm out on the street
if they don't.

What are you talking about?

Dwayne's mum don't want me
staying there any more.

I've got nowhere else to go.

Right. Have you told your mum?

She ain't answering my messages,
my dad's told her he's had enough.

Yeah, that's just...what people
say in the heat of the moment.

Oh, no, he meant it.
He don't want me back at all.

Your mum's not going to let
that happen.

She will, if it's me or him.

Hey, listen,
it's not going to come to that. OK?

Look, I'll talk to your mum.

She's not going to have you
out on the streets now, is she?

Thanks.

Hey, it's fine. Just...

Do me a favour
and stay out of trouble, all right?

There is no point standing outside
if I can still hear you, is there?

Come on.

So, I'm guessing...

..from the little I know of you,

that, err...

..you don't much go for the Dame.

You've been reading up on me.

I might have seen the odd
thing in the news.

You've had quite a colourful career.

By colourful,
you mean controversial.

Always been a fan of controversial.

Very reassuring to hear
that from a therapist.

Well, it's not every
head that is prepared to

put their neck on the line for what
they believe in. Most of them

are too busy sucking up to the
governors or the trust.

Well, you seem to know
a lot about it.

I used to be in education myself.

Oh, I see.

Well, what brought about the
huge career change?

A very long story.

Oh, apparently we've got an hour.

Well, let's just say that, erm,

when I was in need
of specialist help,

I found there wasn't any,
so I looked into it myself.

And you enjoy it?

Best thing I ever did.

But that's not why we're here.

So why don't you tell me
what brings you here?

I was attacked by a parent,

but no doubt you've already
read about that in the news too.

They never know the full story.

They don't have to deal with angry
families marching in,

insisting their little angel
is the one being picked on.

They don't have to bite their
tongues when parents expect schools

to teach their kids morals
because they can't be bothered.

They weren't left for dead
in their workplace...

..just for doing their job.

Now maybe you can
stop cleverly deflecting

and sit down and tell me
what actually brought you here.

So we'll be listening to the
string quartet extract

and answering
questions on the work sheets..

Miss? Yes?

Hi. Er, I know you don't like
letting people go without a pass,

so, totally fine
if you say no, but erm...

..I just need to ask,
can I go to the bog?

Can you hold it in, Noel?

Err...

Yeah.

Absolutely hold it in.

I just, erm... Just needed to ask.

OK. Erm, please remember to
talk about the tonality

and dynamics of the piece.

I've never stayed in bed late, but
now I wake up earlier than ever.

Sometimes I barely sleep at all.

What do you do when you can't sleep?

I mean, some teachers
find a drink helps.

Is that what you used to do?

This session does seem to be
more about your issues than mine.

Why do you think it is
that you can't sleep?

I'm not sure that this was a good
idea after all.

I wasn't aware that you used to
be in education when I called.

Your choice.

I can recommend some other
counsellors for you.

I appreciate that, but I'm not sure
how this is going to help.

Well, usually I try and build up
a picture of what a patient needs,

and then suggest
some kind of therapy.

In your case, cognitive
behavioural therapy, maybe.

I was attacked, it's not
my behaviour that needs modifying.

It's a little bit more than that.

Yeah, I'm aware of what it is.
It's not for me.

We could try rapid eye movement.

Blinking? It doesn't work,
least not from what I've seen.

You seem to know a lot about it.

Well, what would you suggest
might help?

Medication?

SHE SCOFFS
God, no.

That doesn't work either.

No, it can. Sometimes.

I have a daughter who's suffered
with mental health issues,

I've seen it work for her...

..when she takes them.

I just don't think I could do my job
with my senses dulled.

And do you think you can do your
job carrying around all this fear?

I mean, I know you'll say,
"That's not the case, I'm fine."

But the fact is there's a reason
why you came here today.

Look...

..I may not be the right
counsellor for you...

..but I do understand some
of the issues you're going through.

Do you miss it,
not being in a school?

I'm more use here.

I felt small.

I mean, it's an anatomical fact,
I am small.

But I've never felt it before.

I've always been able to assert
myself in other ways.

But when that woman was
standing over me...

SHE SIGHS

..I felt powerless...

..for the first time in years.

Where's Noel?

Hello to you too, Stace.

I let class go early today,

to practise their performances
for next week.

Noel went for some
quiet time in there.

Quiet time?

That's what he said.

Hm.

Look, I can explain.

I don't see how I'm downstairs
with my best lippy on

and you're up here
strumming your instrument.

Seriously, if you don't want to be
with me, just say.

Well, of course I do.

I've been doing all the running,
since day one.

You couldn't even be
bothered to ask me out.

You beat me to it.

Girls don't want excuses, Noel, they
want passion, they want romance.

What, in a cleaning
cupboard in period two?

Do you know what, just forget it.

You obviously don't like me
as much as you say you do.

No... Stace, look,
don't be like that.

I don't understand women, me, Miss.

So down this corridor is
the library.

Now, I know what you're all
thinking, the library is boring.

But once you understand how
gross the halls are,

you'll be glad there's
somewhere else you can work.

Hello? So, what you doing now?

Going to grab lunch before I head
back to the library.

How's the uni?

It's all right.

I wish you were here.
Yeah. Me too.

I'm at the front of the queue now
so I'll talk later.

CALL DISCONNECTS
I love you...

Let me guess, Jared?

He was just checking how
I was getting on with my coursework.

Of course he was.

Let's not fight today, I've really
missed hanging out with you.

Me too.

SIREN WAILS

Celine! I've been trying to get
through to you. I'm at work!

Whatever it is,
I don't want to know.

Ashton says you're not
picking up his calls.

Yeah, I've told him, I'm done.

Come on, I know that he's
messed up but...

My mum just died!

OK? And he's been
stealing her medication.

He thought he was doing it
for the right reasons.

You don't know what we've been
through over the years.

Right? We've reached the end.

So...so, what? You're just going
to leave him with nowhere to go?

What am I supposed to do?

I mean, it was bad enough
with him and Carl

before Ashton found out
he wasn't his real dad.

I mean, they nearly came to blows
the other night.

I can't... I...
I can't let this happen again.

So what are the options
for him, then?

Celine, he could end up
homeless or in care.

Or you could try dealing with him?

So it's all right for him
to wreck my family life,

but you don't want him
anywhere near yours.

Hey, I never said that.

You have no idea what I've been
through with him.

Everything from tough love
to begging,

and every time I feel like we've
turned a corner,

the police turn up again or
I find out he's selling pills!

I'm tired, Donte! I'm tired.

We have been through hell.

And I'm not sure my marriage
can survive much more.

Yeah, and what about Ashton, Celine?

What's he supposed to do?

I don't know.

But maybe this is the lesson
he needs to actually make a change.

He was at it for hours.

And when he finished, he realised
he'd got the whole cot upside-down.

Shut up!

Coral was fuming, so when she went
out, he got the handyman in.

I've got the whole thing on video.
You'll have to send that to me.

Don't worry, I will.

I've missed you.

I'm still here for you, you know?

You know you can always talk to
me about anything.

Anything at all.

Is this about Jared?

We been through this.

Everything's fine between me
and him.

Thing is, Lib, I know you
so well and I...

I can see it's not.

You hardly talk to us and Jared
won't let you out of his sight.

Well, I'm here now, aren't I?
Only cos Dad made you stay.

What?

Was all this so you
could get me away from Jared?

You and Dad actually set things up
to get me away from him?

No, Dad just text to say
you'd be on your own.

Jared won't leave your side
when we're around,

it's like he doesn't want you
talking to us.

Well, what do you expect
when you do stuff like this?

You've changed, Lib.

You hardly have any friends, you've
given up your favourite subjects,

your whole life revolves around him.

Well, he's my boyfriend.
And I love him, and he loves me.

I know.
And we don't want to upset you,

we're just worried
something isn't right.

You were like this about the last
guy I was seeing in New Zealand.

Yeah, and he turned out to be
bad news too.

Oh, so it's me, is it?

I'm the problem?

I'm not blaming you, it's just
obvious how on edge you are,

just look at you now.

Because you've set me up!

And I know it's not always perfect
between me and Jared,

but relationships aren't
always sunshine.

And you'd know that
if you'd been in one.

Is that supposed to be a burn?

I'm just saying,
you don't understand

how much he cares about me.

Jared would do anything for me.

Yeah? Then why won't he let you
see your friends and family?

PHONE RINGS

He can't leave you
alone for one minute.

He needs to know where
you are all the time.

That's not true.
Don't answer him, then.

See? No big deal.

Now can we please just
talk about something else for once?

So it's got a load of great
resources, tons of books

and an amazing history section.

Which is even bigger than
Mr Guthrie's at his house.

So, yeah,
please feel free to explore.

Here, Caz.

I think he's too shy to ask,
but Mr Guthrie was hoping to

hear about the work you've
done this year.

Really?

You know what he's like,
totally lame,

but likes to admire how his history
chicks have flown the nest.

So lame!

I kind of love it, so, yeah.

Mr Guthrie, guess which diminutive
French dictator

we've been studying this year.

Really? Mm-hm.

Ah, well, I did my dissertation on
Bonaparte's retreat from Russia.

Really? Yes. How did it go?

It went very well. Did it?

Not for him, but the dissertation
went very well. Yeah, I know.

No, no, I had no idea
she'd had such an issue with it.

Well, she...she can't fire me
for fostering a kid,

but if she wants to get awkward,

she could make my job very, very
difficult, yeah.

Oh, err, Mike, I've got to go.
Got to go.

Hi, er...
Saw Mrs Drake earlier,

said summat about you needing to
do my parents' evening?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

She spoke to me about
that too, yeah.

Yeah, you don't have to,
if you don't want to.

No, no, no, it's not...
It's not that. It's erm...

Look, I've never had anyone
at a parents' evening before,

so it makes no difference really.

It'd be my pleasure.

I don't know about that,
but we'll see what they say.

If they do say anything
about that model

that's gone missing from science,
it's nothing to do with me.

OK, just... Yeah.

You're kidding? That's hilarious.

Share the joke, then.

What are you doing here?

I thought you
were at the event all day.

Got a tram back from the uni
to make sure you were OK.

Why are you not in the library?

She needed a break.

Nothing wrong with that, is there?

Course not.

How did you even know we'd be here?

I got bored, was heading back to
school and fancied some chips.

So, you just bumped into us?

OK, you got me,
I came looking for my girlfriend.

I don't see what your problem is.

There's no problem.
Why don't you just head back, Cat?

You know, I didn't think Year 11s
were allowed off site, anyway.

Better get off before
someone reports you.

It's OK, we'll catch up later.

Call me if you need anything.

I told you, I was just
finishing my coursework

and Cat came along,
she wanted to hang out.

I tried to tell her no

but I just didn't want her thinking
anything was wrong.

Why would she think that?
Did you say something to her?

No, but she's not stupid,
she's noticed I'm avoiding her.

And you told her that's my fault?

No, I never say anything to
anyone about you,

but it doesn't look good
when you track me down like that.

Track you down? Wow!

No, I know you were probably
just worried.

You weren't answering your phone.
And that's because you care.

I'm sorry if that's such a problem.

No, it's not, but just sometimes
I need a bit of space.

You know, every time you speak to
one of your family,

it's like you're a different person.

You start questioning
everything about our relationship.

That's not what I'm doing.

You just said you needed
space away from me.

I didn't mean it like that.

You want space, Libby?

You can have it!

What are you doing?

Have all the space you want.
Jared...

In fact, you don't have to put up
with me at all...

CAR HORN BLARES
..if I'm such a burden.

Jared! JARED!

BRAKES SQUEAL

Jared!

Are you OK? What are you playing at?

Didn't you hear me beep?
He's deaf!

I'm so sorry, I didn't...
Call an ambulance.

No, no, it's fine.

No need for an ambulance.

Are you sure?
Yes. I'm sure!

Oh, my God.

You wanted me dead, is that it?

No! That's the last thing I want.

Thing is, I don't know how I'd
carry on if I lost you.

Don't say that.

That's how much I love you.

So I don't care what your family
keep saying to you,

I'm not letting them
take you away from me.

Oh.

Ooh, Stella, have you got a sec?

Not really, apparently we've had
a load of angry parents

because the booking
system's crashed.

Yeah. Erm, sorry..

It's just, err...

I know that there are concerns
about a conflict of interest

with Schuey.

But, no, I swear that won't happen.

You don't know that.

What if he ends up facing
suspension,

or another parent complains?

Yeah, I know it's a risk.

But I can't let him down
the way everyone else has.

He's been written off
too many times,

he needs someone who's going to put
him first for once in his life.

And that has to be you?

Well, I don't see anyone else
stepping up.

I'd have to put measures in place
to ensure impartiality.

And if you crossed any lines,

I would hold you to
account straight away.

I'd expect no less.

I still think it's a mistake,
but I won't stop you if you're sure.

Thank you.

DOOR CLOSES

BELL RINGS

Right, boys I don't know what
you're doing in there,

but it doesn't take 20 minutes
to put on a PE kit, right?

Come on, let's go!

Thank you.
Good lads, there we go.

Oh, Nicky, do us a favour,

just keep an eye on this lot for
a second. I can't do that.

Please, just for one minute.
I just need to find Ashton.

Well, that's not going to take
a minute, is it?

And if Drake comes along,
she'll fire us both.

Yeah, right. Just text him
if you need to talk to him so badly.

It's just not an easy thing to
read in a text message.

You know, I...

I promised Ashton that I'd talk
to his mum about letting him

move home because he's got
nowhere to go, and...

..well, she's having none of it.

Oh, poor kid.

Look, Celine thinks that
I should think about taking him in.

And are you?

I don't know.

I mean, the last thing that
I want is to see him in care.

But you're still worried about
Izzy and Tommy?

Tommy'd be fine.

But I've only just started to
reconnect with Iz.

And then now she's got to wrap
her head around

how I could have had Ashton,
just before me and Chlo had her.

Well, she's bound to have issues,
isn't she?

I guess you just need to figure
out what's worse,

answering a few awkward questions

or leaving Ashton to
fend for himself.

I'll see you later.

See you.

About time. Come on, boys.

Here's the files you asked for.

Brilliant!

SHE CLICKS MOUSE ANGRILY

You still not got that fixed?

Right, look,
all you do is go on to the settings

and then reset the programme
to the correct point.

I've tried everything.

Right, give it here.

How did you do that?

I have a degree in maths,
I do know my way round a database.

Well, why didn't you tell me
before?

Well, sometimes you've just got to
give people a chance to show you

what they can do themselves.

Well, thank you.

Any time.

Look, Coral, just so we're clear,

I didn't ask to cover you. Mmm.

No, honestly.

The last thing I need is more
work nights and weekends.

But Stella, she found out
that I'd applied before

and she just kept going on at me.

Really?

I don't want your job.

I am counting down
the days until you're back.

I still don't know how long
I'll be off for.

You know, when I had Jas, I was...

I was young, skint...

..and I was still living at home.

Like, I had no choice,
I had to rush back.

But you, you've got it all.

You've got the time and you've got
the space to actually enjoy it.

What's wrong now?

Nothing.

Could you please print out
the feedback forms for tonight?

Yeah, of course.

I'm not in the mood, Noel.

Just take it.
What is it?

Better not be one of your home-made
bath bombs again,

my house stunk for days.

KEYS JANGLE

So I was talking to Debs earlier,

and I managed to blag us
the keys to the kitchen.

What for?

Well, my little glam roly-poly,

apparently the staff have
gone home for the day,

so we can have it to ourselves.

The school kitchen?

Where they cook food?

Not in the cupboard, they don't.

Yeah?

So, Coral, I've put feedback
forms on the front

and then I've also added a section
during the portal

in case any parents want to
feed back that way too.

Good idea.

Well, I do have them...

..every now and again.

And I do have a free period
tomorrow,

so I can be about if you want me
to help again.

I guess that's a good idea.

It won't be long
before you're taking over.

Ooh...

Are you OK? Mm.

It's just...

..I got to the age where I
never thought I'd have kids.

I put everything into my career.

It's, er...

It's hard to imagine leaving that
behind and being at home every day.

Don't you worry, right?
You're going to have plenty to do.

Trust me. Am I?

Ooh...

Coral, are you sure you're OK?
Mm.

I've probably been overdoing it,
just feeling very, very hot.

Erm, I'm going to go get some ice.

BELL RINGS

I'm all right.

You don't look it.

Has he said something to you?

I can't do this again.
Has he done something to you?

Keep it down, he's outside.

I don't care, I'll go and tell him.

No! No, no, no!

No, no, you'll make it worse.

This is not normal, Libby.

He won't let you speak to anyone,
he follows you around,

and he's clearly
tracking your phone.

Everyone uses apps
to find each other.

Why do you keep making
excuses for him?

He's going through a bad patch.

It's only cos he loves me so much.

It's not right.

Maybe you should
tell him to see a doctor.

I can't do that. And I can't talk
about this any more.

Take it, please.

If he's tracking your phone,

who knows what other devices
or apps he's using on you.

Plus, you never get your messages.

What are you going to use?

I'll just say I lost it
and use Dad's phone for now.

I don't know. Please.

Just so I can keep in touch
and know you're OK.

I'm really worried he's not
stable, Libby.

You OK?

Let's go, just want to be at home
with you now.

BELL RINGS

Hey, Ashton! Hey, I, erm...

I spoke to your mum.
All right, save it.

I already know what you're
going to say, OK?

I can look after myself,
I'm used to it.

You shouldn't have to get used
to it, you're just a kid.

Well, you can move in with me.

Really?

What...what about Tommy and Izzy?

They'll be fine.

Look, I appreciate the offer.

But, let's be honest,
you don't want us there.

I'm the last thing
you need in your life.

Right, I get that you don't
trust me.

I mean, I'm the guy who never
bothered to find out that he

had a kid and, well, handled it
pretty badly when he did.

You said it.
I'll do everything that I can.

You sure about this?

No, I can't promise that I'll
get everything right straight away.

But you'll have a home as long as
you need one. Thank you.

I want to make this work.

I'll see you later.

Yeah. I'll see you later.

KISSING

Where's all this come from? I told
you. I can do romance, me, girl.

SOFT MOANING

Why you making that noise?
What?

SOFT MOANING

No. Seriously, stop.
You're giving me the ick now.

What?

MOANING CONTINUES

Oh, it's coming from the kitchen.

Ms Walker!

What are you doing?

I was feeling faint,

thought ice might help.

Right, well, I can go get you some
ice if you need it that bad.

SHE GROANS IN PAIN

I might need more than that now.

She's having the baby.

Call an ambulance now.

SHE CONTINUES TO MOAN

Yeah, it's been a really
productive discussion.

So, you know, let's work together to
ensure your child receives

the support to excel.

Miss, you need to come quick!

Hey. What's happened?
What's happened to your blazer?

Er, look, I found Ms Walker in the
kitchen. She needs an ambulance.

You go, I'll call one.

I'll get a hold of Neil.

Breathe, breathe.

This can't be happening now,
happening here.

It'll be all right.

I had a birthing plan!

All right.

All right, hang in there.

Please do something! I don't want
this here, it's not clean.

We don't get to make that decision,
Coral. I'm not ready.

Yes, you are.

And the fact that he's
choosing to come today, yeah,

that means that you're more
than ready.

What am I going to do
when he gets here?

I... I can't... I can't do this.

Hey. Of course you can.
Of course you can.

Look, every new mother gets jittery.

But trust me, if I can do it,
yeah, me?

You, you definitely can.

Just breathe, that's it.

SHE HOWLS IN PAIN
The ambulance is on its way.

I think it might be a bit
late for that.

Er, Noel, go and get my googles.

I'm trying to get hold of Neil.

Everything is going to be
all right.

Trust me, I'm a science teacher.

That's it.
I can't, I can't...

I can't do it...

That's it. Keep breathing.

Everything is going to
be all right.

Val, Val, Val.
Hang on, hang on.

Has he made his way back to there?

Who? Jared.

He's ran away from here,
we can't find him.

No, it's Coral.

We're waiting for the ambulance,
but she seems to be in labour.

NEIL!

There's no "seems to be"
about it, Neil.

Right, I'm on my way.

Right, time to go.

Er, where is everyone?
They went to the shop.

Well, call them!
Make your way to the entrance now.

Let's go, let's go!
Move it, move it!

Come on, hurry up.

I wish you'd been there,
you would have loved it.

Can totally see us
going to the uni in the day,

coming back to our
little nest at night.

Yeah, me too.

Then why are you so quiet?

Just what happened.

What could have happened.

I can't stop thinking
about you in that road.

Look, it's fine.

Just make sure
you don't push us like that again.

Oh, Mr Guthrie, I was hoping to...
Out my way, I'm having a baby!

Here, have a free bag.

Oh...

Coral, I am so sorry.

I couldn't get back with the
traffic. Sh, sh.

I missed it. Is everything OK?

Yeah.

He's beautiful, Neil.

Our son.

Oh, my boy.

I've got you, don't worry.

I am sorry I wasn't here.

It's fine. I'm fine.

He's fine.

And you can make it up to us.

Whatever you need.

I'm never leaving your side again.

Dad?

Hey.

Come and say hello to
your little brother. Hello.

Come on, let's go.

Well done, you two. It's a
good job you heard her.

What were you doing
in the kitchen anyway?

Erm...

Well...

..we thought we could
smell burning. Mm-hm.

Don't come in here again, OK?

OK.

Do you, er...

..want to go somewhere else?

After that?
You're never touching me again.

OK!

Thank God.

Hello, Addison Road Services?

Oh, hi. This is Stella Drake,
I was in earlier. How can I help?

I was wondering if Jack Rimmer had
any appointments for next week.

Yes, he does.
Let me just get his diary up.

OK, great.

Right. I'll take you to Dwayne's to
get your stuff, then we can go home.

I can move in today? Yeah.

Yeah, why not?

I know Tommy's really looking
forward to meeting you.

Actually, I think he's more excited

about having someone to
play his games with.

Oh, I can teach him a
thing or two. Oi.

We're talking Mario Karts, yeah,
no shooting games. Yeah, I know.

You sure about this?
You're not having second thoughts?

No. No, of course not.

I'm really looking forward to it.

Look, I know we haven't had a proper
chance to get to know each other,

and, yeah we'll have to
set some boundaries

and there'll be bumps in places,
but that's just family, isn't it?

Honestly, I think it's for the best,
you moving in.

Who's moving in where?

Izzy, you're early!

PHONE CHIMES

DOOR OPENS

What's going on?

Coral's had the baby.

Where'd you get that from?

You've got a secret phone.

No, it's... it's Cat's,
she just gave it me to look after.

Why would she do that?

The phone you got me,
it doesn't work.

The messages don't always
come through.

So it's not good enough
for you, is it?

Maybe I should go
and see Coral and the baby.

You know, nothing's ever good
enough for Princess Libby.

I'm not trying to upset you, Jared,
but this is my baby brother.

I almost got hit by a car
today cos of you,

and you're still lying to my face.

No, I didn't mean to.
Give it to me.

No!

SHE CRIES OUT

What else are you hiding from me?

I'm sorry.
I will never lie to you again.

I'm sorry.

I'm the only one who truly
cares for you, you know that, right?

Right...

..it's just me and you.

I'm not going anywhere.

Izzy's back already.

Hmm.

And I'm not sure he's told her
I'm moving in yet, either.

Well, at least you don't have to
sleep under a bridge

in town tonight.
Hmm, still might be.

Good luck.

Why didn't you tell me you were
coming back? I'd have picked you up

from the train station.
I thought I'd surprise you.

Didn't realise you were busy.

Look, I... I only just found out
that he was homeless today.

Look, I promise, I was going to
call you and explain.

I still don't get any of this.

How have you got a son
that is practically my age?

Mum must have known.

Darling, I'm telling you the truth,
all right?

Your mum knew about Celine
but, no, she...

She didn't know about Ashton.
I didn't know about Ashton.

Well, she'd have hit
the roof about this one.

Yeah, yeah, I reckon she would have.

But at me, not Ashton.

Listen, I know this is going to
take some time, OK, for everyone.

But now that he's moving in,

you know, you can get to
know him properly.

Well, could have asked what I
thought before he actually moved in.

It's my house too, you know.
Yeah, I know and I'm sorry.

OK, it's just, you know, you weren't
living there, so I just thought...

Well, what if
I wanted to move back in?

Do you?

Cos you are more than welcome.

Right, me and Tommy have wanted you
home for so long.

We knew as soon as you went there
it was a mistake.

But, listen, if you do come back...

..I want Ashton there, too.

PHONE BUZZES

Yeah, well,
maybe I can give him a chance.

Are you sure?

I've missed you, Dad.

Hey, come here. I've missed you too.

Wait, there is nothing,

nothing that I would love more than
having all my kids at home with me.

Me too.

I love you. I love you, too.

Do you want a drink?

Yeah. Go on, then.

what it seems like

Hey, can I get some crisps as well?

Just getting them.

Libby?

Libby?

Libby!

Libby, get back here now!

Is that Libby? Libby?

Libby?

Libby?

Did he do this to you?

I just want to come home.

Aw, come here. Come on.

Come here. It's all right.
It's over now.

I'm mad about it

I'm mad about it

Mad, mad, mad

I'm cold and I'm tired
