Hey. Good morning.

Darren, um... Thank you.

You've got to stop bringing me gifts.

Don't you like them?

Yeah. Yeah, I love them.

I'm only doing what I get paid for.

Darren, go on. I don't want to be late.

The race isn't quick, Darren. Hey!

No, I can't thank you enough.

All the help you've given him, and with
his marks.

Pleasure.

My God.

Yeah, it is.

Listen, let me buy you dinner.

Say a proper thank you.

You don't have to do that. No, I want
to.

What do you think of that curry I saw by
the bus station? Like it?

Yes.

Yeah, it's lovely in there, but...
Honestly, Darren, I can't.

The time I get home from work and... And
then weekend, then?

Sorry. I've got plans.

OK.

I'll see you around.

Thanks. Thank you.

See you later.

And how do you think Miss Mason's going
to react?

Well, I had her to keep my powder dry,
but if you've got to play dirty, you've

got to play dirty.

And if she tells us to sling your hook?

We'll get the contract.

Don't you worry.

Alison, what are you saying?

Either a car never met the weekend, or a
car.

I don't want him for an hour here and an
hour there.

Yeah, well, forget it then. That suits
me.

Oh, can you believe it? I mean, one
minute she's all, yeah, come round,

take a supper.

And then it's, no, no, that's
inconvenient for me. I'm not changing my

Morning, Eddie.

In the doghouse.

That obvious, is it?

It's all your fault, you know.

Oh, thanks.

You know, you could sit on the back of a
stump, but only about marriage. But it

seems to me that you two, you're still
blaming each other.

I know I may have handled it badly in
the past, but she can't seem to get

that point.

You know, it's... She acts like the
first three years of Michael's life were

great influence for her.

I'm really sorry, Eddie. I've got so
much to do.

Can we talk about it later?

Stuart Hartley would like a quick word.
Who?

Hi, Stuart Hartley. Oh, hi.

Have you got an appointment? No, sorry.
I just need a couple of minutes of your

time. Why?

A proposed new training centre.

I've put in a bid for it. Borderly
construction?

Oh, OK. Right. Five minutes, Mr Ward.
And please call me Stuart. It's company

policy. OK.

I really appreciate you giving me this
time. I know your job's probably like

mine. Spinning plates right in the back
of your head. Something like that.

I'll give you the same disclaimer as the
others. I have no influence over the

outcome of the bid.

I can help you with information, but the
rest really is up to you.

Yeah. My bid was rejected.

I found out yesterday.

Apparently I was way over budget.

Oh, well, that's a shame.

I'll just get to the point, shall I?

I want you to do everything you possibly
can to have my bid reinstated.

Even if I wanted to, I can't do that.

I'm only here... Involved in an advisory
capacity.

Yes, I do know how things work around
here, Rachel.

I think you need to talk to the
committee about this. I can't help you.

Yes, you can.

And you will.

You remember Tess Doyle, don't you?

My secretary?

She came to your school production.

She saw your picture in the newspaper.

Waterloo Road gets news super head.

She didn't recognise the name. Well, of
course she wouldn't.

But she's very good with faces.

You know what? I think Rachel really
suits you.

Tess didn't think that it would work,
but now that I've seen him in the flesh,

I'd say it was a pretty good choice.

Have a good day, then.

Good morning.

Morning.

Don and Brixie, start bringing your
flowers again.

Well, you know, it's my step that's
meant to fill out there, and now I'm too

impressed with you.

So he impresses you, then?

Well, he must have cost a fortune.

Of course.

I'm not after you for anything.

What?

You and her?

Thanks for telling me. What? No.

You've got the wrong... There's nothing
to tell.

Yeah, right.

Mika!

Well, at least I'm not the only one
you're stringing along.

Davina, it's not that easy.

The girls are... Look, it's tough for
them at the moment. I don't know what to

do half the time.

Look. Only half the time.

Are you all right?

Yeah. Actually, I'm fine.

So, this is what's going to happen.

Your stock is very high at the LEA. They
value your opinion.

You're going to pick up the phone.

You're taking a very big risk.

If there's one phone call, then you
could be inside for blackmail. That's

we entrepreneurs do, Rachel. We take
risks.

It's my company's future against yours.

A wrap on the knuckles for me, or...
Humiliation and the end of a glittering

career for you.

You wouldn't want to throw away
everything you've worked so hard for

you? I want you off the premises.

Yes, of course. You need time to
consider.

Only don't take too long.

Oh, and you can keep that. There's
plenty more where that came from.

That's better. You'll speak to me again.

A few more of these to post off some
time today, Bridget. Thanks.

Eddie Lawson, my deputy.

Mr. Hordley.

Stuart, please.

Nice to meet you, Stuart.

Stuart's a developer. He's bidding for
the building work. He was leaving. I was

just getting a feel for the place.

Good for you.

I'm really impressed by this new key
skill curriculum. You're the one who's

coordinating it, aren't you?

It runs itself, really, but it's coming
along.

I don't suppose there's any chance I
could sit in on a lesson. It would

help to see things from a client's point
of view. I don't think that's

appropriate. It's a bit short notice.

Well, I've got my lessons for life
meeting now. He can sit in on that if he

likes. I thought you were going.

No, not straight away.

That'll be great.

Well, I think you'll find it
interesting, Anne.

It kicks off any second now, so...

I

still feel a bit weird about not putting
them into exam.

Yeah, I didn't buy into this at first at
all, but look at this.

Zero out of 25.

Three per cent.

Misspelling your own name.

We've only got a few months left to make
sure they don't leave here with

absolutely nothing.

Oh, look at this.

It doesn't matter how long it would
take.

Cos, C -O -Z.

You can't commit from A to B no more.

Somebody's built a house on the way.

Have a look at that.

Well, it's a decent draftsmanship, at
least.

Yeah, but would you give them a job? I
don't know.

Maybe. It'd help them a few pieces of
paper.

I prefer to get the measure of a person
from a face -to -face meeting,

interview. Yeah, but that's the problem
with these kids, ever getting them

interviews. They can't even fill in a
CV.

It doesn't mean to say that they're
thick.

You're preaching to the converted here,
mate.

Well, school never much interested me
either, but in my day there was no shame

in going to a building apprenticeship.

Just a thought, but Jasmine and I are
planning a few mock interviews this

afternoon just to give the kids a taste
of the outside world.

It would be more real if somebody like
you was there doing it. Yeah.

Well, you're probably up to the years,
but... No.

No, I'm very flattered that you asked
me, actually.

Yeah, I'd like to do that.

Excellent.

Hello, I, um... I...

Yeah,

really, I think it's just, you know,
good to get a chill for the building.

Yeah, absolutely.

Grantley! You're not free next lesson,
are you?

You mean, do I have a non -contact?

Yes, I do.

But I shall be using my non -contacts to
prepare, plan... Grantley,

will you show Stuart around?

No, I don't want to take away from his
free time. I mean, time away from the

kids is vital.

I'd be delighted to give you a tour, as
long as our censorious senior management

aren't afraid of me telling it as it is.

Mr. Hordley, you're still with us.

Yeah, Eddie asked me to stick around for
a bit.

Stuart's agreed to help with our mock
interviews this afternoon.

Well, that's great.

Aren't we taking too much of your time?

No, it's not a problem. I'm happy to do
it.

Can I have a quick word with you?

Sure.

I think you should make your apologies
and go.

You get a budget of three million a
year.

Sixty -odd staff.

It's quite a responsibility.

I have the same problem.

So get on the phone to your friend and
get my bid reinstated.

Otherwise, this lot get to find out who
you really are.

Don't worry, I'm not going to hassle
you.

In fact, I'll try harder to avoid eye
contact next time we're walking down the

corridor.

That's probably for the best.

I'm sorry.

I should have complained to Chloe Maker
about me and you.

What?

So there is a me and you?

I hope so, yeah.

You see?

There you go again.

Not exactly a man with a life plan, are
you, Tom?

I've tried a couple of times.

The Brett Aspinall situation doesn't
exactly make it easy, does it?

Look, that was a stupid mistake that I
made ages ago. No, I don't... But if you

want to use that as an excuse for not
being able to make up your mind, well,

then, fine.

Look, I didn't mean... All

right, today I'm booking...

And I hear you answer two to one on
Wayne Rooney's first... All right, just

here.

Hi, Sir Richard Watt.

Stuart Hordley.

Has he said anything?

About?

About, you know, the contract, the bid.

Me? Asked anything?

No. Knows his stuff, though. Got to give
him that. And he wants this big time.

Eddie, I think I might need to ask your
advice about something.

Fox.

Sars? About this morning.

What? I'm not texting about him, that's
for sure. Who?

Alison. She probably wants me to send
some little reassuring message because

she... Eddie, where did Hordley go?

Grantley's given him the grand tour.

And then he might pop into Jasmine's
class.

Thank you.

Don't forget your assignment's due
tomorrow.

You alright?

I've got a fan mail.

Ah, nice.

Yeah, listen to this.

Nothing heavy. Two friends over a
candlelit dinner. You bring the glamour.

bring the credit card.

Oh, poor guy.

So you won't be bringing the glamour?
Well, he's brought me flowers a few

and...

I admit I've been enjoying the
attention, but I have totally gave him

impression. What, that you like him
better than Mr Tom Clarkson? No.

Even if I wanted to, I couldn't.

His son's one of my special needs
students, and I'm not going to overstep

line. No. A girl's got to do what a
girl's got to do.

It makes me feel wanted, though, eh?

Hi, Darren, it's Davina.

Look,

I'm really sorry, but I won't be able to
go out to the cinema with you tonight.

The thing is, I'm already staying
somewhere.

Sorry, I said I made that clearer.

OK, bye.

OK, you can go on now.

Get your notebooks out, you're working
on CVs today.

I've told them I'm seeing someone else,
so that should be it.

I don't know.

Hi, gorgeous.

Change your mind yet?

I'm here waiting when you're in.

You're so over the top.

Pass me the sip bucket, please.

I've got to spit it out.

Right, that should have done it.

I'll see you later.

Yeah, see you.

And here endeth the grand tour.

Well, thank you. Your input's been
invaluable.

She'd be a shoo -in if I was making the
decision.

Yes, but you're not.

My deputy's on his way, so if you could
make your excuses and then leave.

We still have a phone call to make.

I haven't forgotten.

I'll be in contact.

Now go.

I promised those kids an interview.

Oh, and you're a man of your word, of
course.

You and I may have our differences, but
there's no reason why I can't deliver

for those kids of yours.

There's no need to be bitter.

Who's bitter?

No one.

Actually, Stuart was just about to... I
have a proposition to make. Yeah?

We're looking for a junior to help us a
couple of hours a week after school.

I could, if you like, make these
interviews real.

That would be fantastic.

Unless, of course, Miss Mason has any
philosophical objections.

Not the darn thing, is it, Amanda?
Sorry, Rachel.

Well, it's the darn thing for me.

We'd be very grateful, Mr. Hordley. I
can't think of a better way to show the

kids what a difference a school would
make in their lives.

In the competitive world of job hunting,
first impressions count.

So, we're up against it. I want all of
you to write down ten things that you

like about yourself.

I've seen these were all about
qualifications and that. Oh, that's just

it. You know, some jobs don't ask for
certificates.

They ask for those comments.

Well, Bolton, is that something you like
about yourself?

It's the only certificate any of us have
got.

I've got my cycling proficiency.

Well, you know, you all might be
laughing, but at least Paul's got

write down in his hobbies and interests
column.

Cycling.

Right, I want you to think about your
CVs as advertising posters.

It's your best to get you an interview.
There's no way I'm sucking up to a loser

at an interview. Ah, you don't need to
worry about that just now.

You see, we'll get to the interviews
when you all have stunning CVs.

Right.

Okay, we'll start with you, Michaela.

What do you like about yourself?

Oh, come on.

Everybody's got something that they like
about themselves.

All right, the rest of us.

What do we like about Michaela?

Oh, come on, guys.

Nice arse, miss.

There you go, Michaela.

Attractive. You could write down popular
with classmates.

Can I have a quick word, please, Miss
Qureshi?

Sure, go ahead.

Right, you're all going to need this
stuff a lot sooner than you think,

you've all got an interview this
afternoon.

I'm not in a lame drama game, Mr.
Wilding. No,

this is no game.

But with a job at the end. Yes, with a
job at the end.

Mr. Hordley. Thank you, Mr. Lawson.

Hey, guys, my name is Stuart Hordley.

Now, my firm might be doing some work
around the school, and we are looking

an office Julia a few hours a week.

Live, live.

Count me out.

Oi. It's... two hours after school, four
nights a week, and the pay's good.

Now, we're not forcing anyone into this,
but if you are interested, put your

name down here.

Lunchtime, we'll be giving everyone
dummy runs.

Jasmine, send them down to the meeting
room. I'll let Matt know.

Thank you.

There is no need for protracted debate.

It really is very simple.

Read the next poem in silence and then
answer the questions on page

43.

Is everybody able to comprehend that?

Problem, Darren?

I don't get what any of this means, sir.

Miss Shackleton, give Darren a hand,
please.

I don't get it.

How can it be a poem when it doesn't
rhyme?

Well, what was the first thing that came
into your mind when you read it?

That was it. It doesn't rhyme.

Well, that's good.

So it's not what you expected.

And what do you think the poet's saying
about the people he's written about?

Well, they're different.

He's comparing the men in the truck to
the two people in the car.

That is excellent.

You think?

Inequality.

To what?

I think you're ready to answer those
questions.

I do.

Miss, do you like my dog?

I do, yeah.

Is that nice?

Yeah.

Here you go, my daughter.

Do you like my dog? I like you.

Quietly.

Are you sure?

I mean, Tom's always gone on about being
one -minded.

But when she hears something like this
from you, I'm telling you what.

She was looking at him like she wanted
to rip his clothes off there and then.

Would it be so bad if he saw somebody
else?

Someone else? No.

Davina Shagathon.

Not again.

Give Tom a break, Mika. I'm trying to
protect him.

She's not interested in him. She's after
something.

I'm telling you.

Excuse me.

Can I help you?

I want to work with Miss Shackleton.

About what?

Well, she reports my phone.

We're busy collecting it.

Oh, um, uh, it's Mr Brigg.

Darren, year 10.

Well, if you've got a problem with one
of his classes, you should really speak

to his teacher.

Well, it's not really about any class in
particular.

Well, maybe I could help. I'm Mr
Clarkson, head of pastoral.

Well, it's a bit awkward, really,
because my lad Darren, he's got

problems, and Miss Shackleton, she's
made a connection with him, so... She's

here now.

Darren.

I was just hoping we could have a word.

Oh. I'm sorry, but no, not a good time.

I'm due to do compared readings, so...
Oh, right.

I'm just a bit worried about Darren
because, well, he phoned me earlier and

just sounded quite anxious.

Right.

OK.

Well, let's see if we can find a free
room.

My room's free. Oh, thanks.

Do you want me to sit in?

No. All right.

So do you think something's happened
with Darren?

No, nothing in particular. It's just
that, well, when he got in touch before,

just... He sounded funny. I just
wondered if you'd noticed anything.

No, nothing unusual.

Just being with him now, he seemed fine.

You can't walk in like that.

Let's do it again, this time, shoulders
back, show us a bit of confidence.

Go on.

What do you like to do in your spare
time?

I'm going out and barbing my mate.

Well, you can't say that, can you?

Think of something that might impress an
employer.

OK, er... Is there anything that you'd
like to do?

Go out with Robert Kaczynski.

Translator. The barman from EastEnders.

Right, let's start with where you're
from and what school you're at.

Sorry. My name's Don.

I'm from... I'm from Waterloo Road.

I'm in years.

Sorry, I can't do this.

Oh, my God.

It's like it'll be all right on the
night.

far apart. You're trying to get your
legs.

You're not looking to get up in the
sixth form, are you?

Pretend you're going to see a sick
relative.

Yeah, my nan died last year.

Bolton, we're over here.

Look at us.

Sick relative.

This goes well. Who knows how many of
your pupils we could end up taking on

board. How long have you known Tess
Doyle?

Just make the call and I'll be out of
your hair.

If I get them to reconsider your bid,
what happens if you don't get the

contract? There's nothing I can do if
they award it to another firm. That

happen.

Stuart, last before you thank them.
Yeah, that'd be great.

Let's hope these kids don't end up
eating me alive.

There's an idea.

Hiya. Hiya.

Can I just have a quick word, please?

Candice, what is it?

It's about these lessons for...

Thingy, thingy, you've got our Bolton
involved in. Lessons for Lodge, I spoke

you about that earlier.

Yeah, and I was washing lettuces for 200
kids who were going to leave it

outside. I might have misheard a detail
or two.

OK, well, we've created this group,
focusing on key skills and practicality.

Yeah, yeah, I know all that.

It's the job bit I missed.

Oh, well, that's a new development.

Candidates are being interviewed this
afternoon. Oh, thanks.

Thanks for putting our Bolton forward.

He's dead excited.

He keeps going on about being able to
chip in for food and that.

Well, it's only a few hours a week and I
don't know how much they're going to

pay. Please don't get your hopes up. It
might not even happen.

It's going to make a man of him.

It's a chance we've been waiting for.

Thanks.

Well, as far as I can see, things are
going well for Darren.

He got a good set of results in his
mocks.

Yeah, could you just keep your eye out
and let me know if you notice anything

untoward? Yeah, yeah, of course.

While I'm here, I might as well be up
front with you.

I'm not a big one for text
conversations.

I like to look people in the eye when I
talk to them.

So, this guy you're going out with,
serious?

No.

I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong
impression. Darren didn't say that you

boyfriend.

Well, there's no reason why he would.

Well, who is he, then?

I, um... I don't think that's any of
your business.

No. No.

I'm sorry, but I've got a class to get
to, so... Um, I didn't mean to pry.

Sorry.

Okay.

Who does she think she is?

Can you just calm down?

You think she can lean me on and just
drop me when she wants? Yeah, well,

got another thing coming.

I think she's too good to have dinner
with me.

Have you seen her with her boyfriend?

Dad shouldn't be here.

Yeah, well, I'm not taking this from
her.

Who's this Clarkson fella?

Have you seen him sniffing around?

No.

Pound to the penny, it's him.

You need to slap her. She's not a slap.
She's the best teacher I've ever had.

She gave me a hug today because she
liked proud of me.

She what?

She gave you a hug?

She put her hands on you? When was this?

Mr Budgeon's class. It wasn't a hug. Did
she?

She put her hands on you?

Yeah, but she was just being nice. Nice?

She plays trick or treating me. She's
all over my son.

Right.

Rachel, I just need you to sign these
three letters first. Yeah.

And can I leave the rest of them?

You're the boss.

I need to talk to you now.

Look, you need to make an appointment.

Is there something I can do for you?
Yeah. You can sort out that little tramp

you've got working with my son.

I'm sorry, you are?

I'm Darren Briggs's dad.

OK, Mr Briggs. Come in.

So who's your complaint about?

A perverse like her shouldn't be allowed
near kids.

Right, take a seat.

It's Shackleton.

Davina Shackleton.

Can you tell me what Miss Shackleton's
done to offend you?

I thought she was a bit low -cut, high
-rise on parents' evening.

I can cope with a bit of flirting, but
not when she's all over my 14 -year -old

son. Now, I want her sacked.

Today.

Right now.

If you can explain exactly what
happened, Mr Brick.

Well, she touched him up.

You're suggesting that Miss Shackleton
touched your son inappropriately?

Yeah.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

That's a very serious accusation.

OK.

Well, let me explain the formal
procedures I've got to take. You will be

required to write her formal statement.

Oh, typical.

Yeah, go on.

You hide behind your procedures.

Do or lose, I've got the job.

Back to the class, Don.

Next up, Bolton's smiley.

Bolton.

Okay, Bolton doesn't show.

Hey, never let it be said that us
smileys can't dress up for an occasion.

Where did that get up, Bolton?

Mr. Roddy's ready for you.

Have you seen Davina?

No, we've no problem.

No, it's fine. I just need to beat her.

Do you know what? I don't think this is
a good idea.

What, the interviews?

Well, him handing out jobs.

It's so obvious he's trying to buy our
info.

We're not doing the tendering, though,
sir.

You can't stop it now.

Look at their little faces.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Yeah, I'm fine.

So, Alton, can you explain to me why you
want to work in the construction and

development industry?

Real, innit?

Real?

Stuff you do, building and that.

I've always loved making things and
painting and design, but I got kicked

art and design because, well, that don't
matter, but I love that stuff, design

and that.

Well, look at you.

I want to be like you when I'm old.

What do you mean, like me?

But you never had to get a loan of a
suit off your mum's mate's husband.

No.

But you are aware this is just a
clerical job I'm offering. There won't

painting and design involved.

Yeah, I get it.

But it'll be all around me.

Yeah.

Yeah, it will.

So, is there anything you want to ask me
about the job?

Is there ever a chance of overtime?

Nika. Nika.

This is not like a spot, you know. It's
not going to go away if you ignore it.

Davina Shackleton.

I can understand how you might see my
relationship with another woman as a

betrayal of email.

This is about her.

Davina. What is it that men can't
resist?

Even... Brett.

You can't let yourself feel bitter about
Davina and Brett.

It was a long time ago. It wasn't even
the reason why you split up.

No, but she's a flirt and you could do
better.

Why her?

I'm not always going to be comfortable
with your boyfriends.

In fact, you'd probably never bring
anybody home that measures up.

But that's where the trust comes in.

I trust you to make the right decisions
and you have to trust me to let me see

who I want.

Okay? You know, I've made a total mess
of this whole situation.

Hey, don't go blaming yourself.

Yeah, but I should have just made it
clear from the start that I wasn't

interested in him.

Even for young Darren, Faye.

You know, he really wanted me to go out
with his dad.

Well, kids forget things pretty quickly.

What is it with me with men?

Oh, yeah, it must be terrible the way
they can't help falling in love with

Stop it.

You know, I'm thinking, if I can mess up
this much as a teaching assistant,

then what chance have I got as a
teacher?

Well, you're worrying about it, so
chances are you're going to be pretty

Look, why don't you just tell Tom that
you fancy him rotten and be done with

Put us all out of our misery, please.

I'm not sure that's a good idea.

Maybe I'm being a bit sensitive, but I
think Tom's using the girls as an excuse

just to keep me at arm's length.

You know, you've really got to talk to
him about how you're feeling.

Davina, can I see you in my office now,
please?

I thought it was only pupils who got
nervous.

Yeah, when the heads end for them.

Look, can you just talk me through what
happened between you and Darren Brigg in

the English lesson?

Nothing happened.

Well, his father claims.

Apparently, Darren told his father that
you touched him.

What do you mean, touched?

You know what I mean.

Touched him inappropriately.

What? No.

No way.

No, that is a complete lie. I
wouldn't... Look, I think Darren Briggs'

just annoyed with me.

Annoyed? Why?

Well, because he likes me and... And
he's been asking me out and he's brought

flowers and... OK,

I've texted him a couple of times, but
I've told him I'm not interested.

And so he's obviously not good with
rejection.

So you're telling me this is all about
some fling that you had with one of the

parents? No, no, I never went near him.
But you've been receiving texts from him

and he's been giving you flowers.

Look, there's nothing going on between
us.

Whatever has happened, it has blown up
in our faces because he is accusing you

of sexually assaulting his son. And if
he goes ahead with this, it will mean

police involvement, it's going to mean
suspension.

Davina, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

But you must understand, I have got to
follow this up.

She hasn't made a formal complaint yet,
but I'm warning you, just prepare

yourself.

Look, Rachel, I'm not lying to you about
this.

So what? So what now?

It's my word against his, is it? No.

We'll deal with it.

You can't let this guy ruin anything for
you.

Well, I thought you all did really well,
but I've decided to offer the post to

Bolton.

No way, man.

I don't believe it.

That is wicked, man. Good choice, man.

Good choice.

Well done, Bolton. Really well done.

Can we go now, sir?

It's amazing how putting a little faith
in someone can make all the difference,

eh?

It's an honorable thing you've done, Mr.
Horton.

You have a phone call to make.

Yeah, but I'm not going to make it.

Listen to me.

Eddie tells me you've put a lot of work
into that, lad.

Good lad.

I'm impressed.

You'll be ashamed if you all go to wait.

You see, with kids like Bolton, it's all
about building his confidence with

proper training and support.

What are you saying? I'm saying that it
would take me about a week to undo all

the good work that you and Mr. Lawson
have done.

Did you tell your dad that? Me? Me? I
never told my dad anything. I just said

that he'd give me a hug for doing well
on my poem.

It's all my fault. I shouldn't have said
anything.

He got it all wrong.

How are you getting home? I don't want
to go home.

I'll go mad when he finds out it was a
mistake.

Come on.

I'll give you a lift.

Me? Seeing you. Darren, your dad thinks
I've done a terrible thing.

And we need to talk to him about that.

It's down to me that you're in this
situation.

And I'm going to help get you out of it.

We've both got things we need to say to
you, don't we?

Come on.

Levina?

Hey.

I'm making everybody's favourite spag
bol tonight, if you fancy joining us.

Have you got permission?

The more time we spend with the girls,
the better chance we have. Tom, you need

to talk to the girls.

I must say about us.

Where are you off to now?

I'm taking Baron home.

To see his dad?

Yes, actually.

Oh, forget it.

Why don't you come afterwards?

Just leave it, Tom.

Love a tiff?

Good. He belongs with Mum.

Freaker, Mum's dead.

Like I'm ever going to forget that.

I hope she knows what she's doing.

Reena.

I'm getting too close to that Darren
lad.

Like David Brett?

No, not like that.

Isn't that the kid whose dad's been
banned from playing? Yeah.

Maybe it's Danny who's trying to get a
call from Tim.

Cut it out, Rita.

Well, she hasn't exactly played hard to
get in the past, has she?

Look, his plans for this place, they're
exactly what I want.

Well, at least let him have the chance
to set out his bid and... If he doesn't

match up, then fine, get rid of him.

Oh, come on, George. What building ever
comes in on budget?

At least he's not trying to disguise his
costs.

Thank you, George.

You'll have your reward in heaven.

Yes.

I know.

Yes, I'll see you later.

You too.

See how easy that was?

Goodbye.

Well...

I had to finally meet you after hearing
so much about Tess.

Good old Bolton, eh?

You did a good job with him.

I'm a cart here.

We must be home.

It's okay. I'll be fine from here.

No, I'll come in.

Make sure everything's all right.

All right.

Wait in there. I'll check up on her.

Will you tell them I'd like to say
hello?

Yeah. Dad?

Dad, Miss Shackleton's here.

Dad?

Where is she?

I don't know.

About me shackled and giving me a hug.
It was nothing.

Yeah, I know, son.

I know.

If it's me, that's all.

It's jumping to their own conclusions.

Don't worry.

What can I say?

I am so sorry.

You really think I'd do something like
that? No.

No, listen.

He got upset and I just got the wrong
end of the stick.

Well, it happens.

If you want it to, yeah. Look, he did
say that you'd put your arms around him.

was only doing what any other dad would
do.

Right. I made a mistake.

I'm sorry.

Now here he is.

I'll get your tea and coffee, Darren.
No, no, it's fine. I'm going to get off.

No, no, come on. You've got to have a
brew.

Darren, there's a good lad.

Get Miss Shackleton.

OK.

I'll have a coffee.

Thanks.

Hey, listen to this.

I'm going to London next weekend. Can
you look after Michael, please?

Can you believe it?

It's like I'm a supply nanny or
something.

Well, at least you two are communicating
now.

You all right?

Yep. Fine.

You seem a bit off today.

No. No, I'm all right. I just, uh... I
don't want us getting,

um... too friendly with any of these
contractors.

Mr. Hordley.

It's going to be good for us.

He's a businessman. He thinks in money.
I already feel compromised enough giving

him the run of this place.

Yeah, all right.

I'm serious, Eddie.

I don't want this school associated with
any hint of corruption.

Corruption? We don't know this guy from
Adam, so we say thank you very much for

what you've done today and we leave it
at that.

I don't want him on the premises again.

What?

These would be your mail.

Thank you very much, Bolton.

But why?

Well, because you got him the job.

I didn't get him the job. He got it
himself.

See you tomorrow, miss.

Would he give Bolton a job?

His indefinable spark.

The suit.

Look, even if you're not sure about
Stuart, look how chuffed he's made

It's perfect for this school, Rachel.

Ah, he's a good lad.

He's really coming on.

Top set in English, eh?

Yeah, he's very bright.

I am sorry for what I said on that.

I'll make sure Miss Mason knows that you
didn't do anything.

It's OK.

Just forget about it.

Now I'm done, eh?

She put up more of a fight than
expected.

But she cracked.

Told you.

I don't believe it.

Hasn't changed so much after all. No,
she's all there with the corporate

She's a very driven lady, our Amanda.

Yep. She did the trick.

Confirmation that put you back in the
running.

Well, now there's just one more little
favour to ask for.

Hi. Hi.

Thanks for the coffee.

Look, are we going to be going out on
this date?

What?

Darren, I told you. I'm in a
relationship.

Would that be with Tom Clarkson?

Yeah. Yeah, it is, actually.

Please.

Please don't go.

No, look, I can make you happy.

Look, I earn way more than some English
teacher. I can give you everything that

you want. Anything. It's yours.

Darren. Just one simple day.

That's all I'm after.

Please, just let me leave.

Give me the key.

I just want one chance.

Please.

That's all.

Open the door and let me leave. Now!

Please don't make a fool of me.

How come they can't be made a fool of
again?

Open the door and let me out or I'm
calling the police. I mean it. I just

you to listen to me.

Dad, stop!

Miss, will you just stay a little bit
longer?

It's okay.

It's okay.

Two minutes.

But we keep things nice and calm.

I mean it.

Otherwise I'm fine anyway.

No, no, go now, you don't want to.

Can I come in?

Go away.

Come on, Mika.

I hate it when you fall out.

I don't want her to make a fool of you.

I can look after myself.

Is that why you're terrified she's going
to dump you for Darren Briggs' dad?

There's more to this than me and Davina.

It feels like everyone I trusted is
taking turns to let me down.

You know, what Chloe and Brett did was
terrible.

But you can't let him do this to you.

I never want to see Brett again.

I don't believe that.

And I've seen how Brett's trying to make
his peace with you.

I don't know what to do.

message him, or whatever it is you do.

It was the great mum.

Look, I just want to explain.

I never meant to freak you out.

That's fine.

I don't know.

It's just been such a long time since I
tried to woo a woman.

I think I've forgotten how to do it.

And, um... Maybe you should take a step
back, you know?

Let things happen naturally.

You what?

What are you saying?

That you'd have come running if I'd have
sat back and waited?

You're just a tease.

That's what you are, you're a tease.

Do I frame you?

You know, you're a good catch for the
right woman.

Well,

you can't make someone feel the same way
about you.

I mean, she's out there, you know.

You just need to wait for her.

You women, you're all the same, aren't
you? You're all users.

And you, you don't know anything.

You stupid cow.

Dad, stop it. You've got to stop being a
victim. Victim?

Victim? Please.

It's so easy for you to say.

You don't know what it's like to be
humiliated. Dad, please.

Oh, I do.

Oh, yeah.

I'm sorry.

Thanks for everything, for today and
that.

Could have a take after my mum.

You'll be all right.

I'll see you tomorrow, OK?

Making her.

I'm not sure it's a good time, Brett.

She messaged me. Asked me to come over.

In that case, then, she's in her
bedroom.

I decided you couldn't resist my cooking
after all, eh?

Are you okay?

Come in. You look terrible.

Do you know what?

I could do with some pressure.

Of course. Just give me a second.

I'm going out. I won't be long.

So, where are we going?

Thought we could go for a pizza.

Oh.

And I'm paying.

Well, strictly speaking, if we're just
going as mates, then it should be 50

I can't believe he did that.

He's a nutter.

Well, it's over. It's not going to get
within a mile of you, believe me.

I don't want you to go anywhere near
him.

I just need help.

Whatever way you want to handle it.

It'll make us better at the aptitude
with Brett.

Maybe she'll give us a bit of space in
the room, eh?

You know what?

I don't want that.

Sort the girls out and then we can get
on with us, you said.

Tom, you know, the way I've been
treating you and the way I've been

you to be with me, it's just wrong.

Where's this coming from?

Well, there's a key for your time.

I haven't earned the right to be at the
front of it.

Are you ending it?

Why don't we just take things slow?

Miss Maitland.

Well, thanks for you, I'm officially
back in the running.

So, it's a word out for you.

We've really got nothing more to say to
each other. I admire your spirit.

Your word is your bond.

But you and I haven't quite finished.

Now that I am back in the running, I
need you to make sure that I actually

that contract.

You can do that for me, can't you?

Amanda.
