We do not need a reputation for
cheating. They cheated.

Jeremy did.

Vicky, stop!

Go on, stop that.

Give her a kiss.

What do you want?

A confession.

I want to hear you say it.

Innocent until proven guilty.

And you couldn't prove Jack.

All right, I didn't hit Vicky.

Just tell him the truth.

I was to get the brave in.

I hid it on a cupboard. I've always
found you very attractive.

You should be locked up.

You pay for what you did.

I've been working as a professional
carer for five years.

Three years.

Two years.

My last place of employment was an old
people's home in Stockport.

Was a care home for elderly in
Stockport.

What sort of MS do you have?

Benign MS?

Relaxing remitting MS?

Secondary progressive MS?

Or is it?

Primary progressive illness.

I'm beginning to sound a little bit like
Keith Richards.

What are you laughing at?

Is that recording gear in there?

Yep. Our orchestra are doing something
for the parents' evening. They're

recording a piece we've been working on.

I can give your orchestra some oomph if
you want.

Oh, yeah?

Like... No,

thanks.

But I can help. I was born to perform.

I am a prefect, you know.

What are you shouting about, Tarek?

I just wanted to help, sir.

They're saying I can't join the school
orchestra.

Being able to play an instrument might
help. And can you?

Do your beats really good?

Really well.

Give us a go, please.

How is your percussion section, Mr
Wilding?

Adequate? Well, adequate's not good
enough for my parents' evening, is it?

don't you give Mr Siddiqui here a
chance?

If his beats are half as good as he says
they are, then it's a win -win, no?

There is no way that we can have Tarek
Siddiqui in our orchestra. Look, we are

so up against it as it is. I haven't got
time to start mucking about a new

arrangement. I'm talking about a
troubled pupil who's showing a spark of

interest in something for the first
time. All I'm asking is that you don't

him off. I'm not writing him off. I'm
just... I'm sure a teacher of your

can handle Tarek.

Unless you want to tell me otherwise.

I've got relaxing remitting MS.

Right. And as I put in the advert, I
need a night carer.

You'd be free during the day.

Sounds perfect.

How long have you been a carer?

Two years.

OK.

And you last played the work with a
country old nursing home. Yeah. I don't

it.

It's a small home, but very perky.

Not the old people.

They're not perky.

They're old, obviously.

Sorry, that came out a bit wrong. I know
what you mean, don't worry.

Some of the other nurses I interviewed
made me feel like a patient. They didn't

quite get it. You seem different.

Really? That's a good thing. Well, it
sounds like you just need a bit of help.

Yeah, that's it.

Jodie, I want you to take the job.

We'll go on a trial basis, but I have to
do this sooner or later.

Oh, God, you're kidding.

Oh, sorry.

Slightly too much.

I'll give you a referral later today,
but I'm sure it'll all be fine.

Yeah, I'm sure it will.

Hello, gorgeous.

What are you doing?

Ben, we can't. Not yet.

Why, no one's worried. What have I said?

Has he taken her back?

Looks like it. What?

Careful thing.

All right, mate.

What, you two back together, then?

Yeah, just a little blip, you know.

Just didn't think you'd want to.

That's me and Vic.

Solid as a rock.

Here, hold those.

You still playing rugby tonight?

I can't, mate. I'm cooking up a treat
tonight.

Have you lost your mind?

No. Finn, your girlfriend decked you on
and now you're cooking her up some

romantic meal.

She's taking you for a mug roll. No, she
isn't. Are you sure, mate?

Mind that, Fudge, yeah?

Hiya. You're not going to believe it. I
got the job.

Oh, are you kidding me?

It's a new start for you.

What are you doing?

Stop filming me.

How come you've got a new phone?

I've been saving up.

Old still, then. I've got to capture
this moment in history.

Nice.

So what's your mum going to say?

Mum? I don't know. She probably won't
notice.

Of course she will.

Yeah.

Maybe when she hasn't got a slave to
boss around.

I could ask my dad if he could come stay
with us.

Have you not been listening at all?

I'm going to get paid, like, properly.

This is my chance.

But there's just one thing.

I need you to be a reference for me.

What do you mean?

It's me who's going to ring you, and I
need you to pretend to be my old boss.

I'll put a number in your phone so that
you know when she rings.

You're mad, you are.

Let's watch his name, then.

Mr. Joe McGuinness.

Oh, Mr. Joe McGuinness.

Will you do it?

All right, then.

You meant you.

So are you.

Hello, handsome.

Last time I saw you, you were one
considerably less.

Linda, probably not the best time to
talk about it. Later, then.

That's a nice tie.

Can I impress someone?

Linda.

Everything you say to me in this room is
confidential.

OK. Feeling all right?

No, not really.

OK. Well, let's start by you telling me
a bit about how you'd been feeling in

the lead -up.

Just stressed, I suppose.

Have you got people to talk to?

No. Just Ronan.

Have you ever had any counselling
before?

No, I didn't need it.

Did you think Ronan deserved it?

What sort of a question is that?

I'm just trying to establish the reason
why you hit him. Well, I don't know why

I hit him. It just happened. I freaked
out.

I just keep getting more and more
stressed.

About what?

About everything.

About failing at my work, having no
money and Ronan just... And if you

were to fail at your work, what's the
worst that could happen?

I'm not going to fail.

So, why do I even think this was a good
idea?

Vicky.

Finished your work for Mr Badger, then?

Yep, all done.

Nice one, son.

Do you want me to have a look at it
before you hand it in? Thanks, but I'm

with it. Come on, hand it over. No.

It can't be that bad. You've worked all
weekend. No, I haven't.

Come on.

My piece.

Blimey. Yeah, all right.

I bet you're looking forward to parents'
evening tonight, aren't you, Dad?

Look, it's going to be all right.

Speak to you later.

Oh, I'm sorry, bro.

Oh, come on.

What is the point of parents' evening,
eh?

We dread it.

The kids dread it.

The parents dread it.

It's just one great big ball of dread.

Have you ever thought about being a
motivational speaker?

Hi, everyone.

Isn't it a beautiful day? Oh, you look
nice.

Someone's dressed to impress tonight.

Maybe. Either that or someone had a very
good weekend.

Morning, all.

Morning. All right, all right. I know
appearance even can seem like a

after a long day at work, but don't
forget, you've all got a lot to be proud

I know how hard you've all worked at
this, and I'm pleased.

OK, the kids' grades are starting to
come through and they're very good.

Although some of you still haven't
inputted your grades into the system.

Mentioning no names, Grantley.

Morning.

If I could have them by the morning
break, please. Come on, help Sian out

She's got a particularly busy day ahead.

Well, I'll help.

Well, it would be great to have an extra
pair of eyes when the outstanding

grades come in. Consider it done. Oh,
thank you. You're a lifesaver.

Well, I've got to see Vicky MacDonald,
but could you swing by my office in

half an hour? Sure.

Good luck. Thank you.

Sian? What?

What are Zach's grades looking like?

Not great, but we are still waiting on
some subjects.

Darling, is there anything that you
could do?

I'm sorry?

You know, like with his science grades,
you know, maybe bump it up a little bit.

You told me yourself that his biology
coursework's looking all right.

Have you asked any of the other teachers
to bump up your son's grade?

No, of course not, but he's a fragile
kid.

I just think the scrutiny of tonight
might just, you know, shatter his

confidence.

Cheating's starting to be a bit of a
habit with you, isn't it? Oh, hang on a

minute. Look, if he's struggling, he
needs our support.

Lying is hardly the answer.

So, I reckon I can move my stuff out
months later when she's not there.

You need a bit of muscle.

I, uh... Oh, and guess what?

That woman offered me that career job.

I'm moving out.

Are you joking me?

You've had the interview and everything?
Yeah, this morning.

Oh, Phoenix were great. Got me here on
time and everything.

Oh, right.

It's like a perfect job.

Yeah, cos looking after some mum with MS
every night sounds like a right laugh

to me.

Rock on.

It's what she wants to do.

Yeah, all right.

Who asked you?

Don't worry.

I've got time to go on news.

Right, choppy.

Strap that down. OK.

Look at this gear, it's well
professional.

What's he doing here?

None of your business, so shut it. No,
you shut it.

Tarek, any more of that and straight
back out the door, OK? What, even though

Byrne says I get a go?

Get a go at what?

Are we being recorded or something?

Right, firstly, guys, Tarek is here to
help with the percussion section, and

yes... Simon is here to record the track
for us so it can be played at parents'

evening tonight.

Ah, you joke. That is so sick.

Well, so it's like proper recording,
then. Yeah, absolutely. Right, everyone

grab their instruments and we'll all
gather round in a circle. Come on.

Double time. Let's run through the piece
that we've been working on the last few

weeks.

Right, Phoenix, you're coming in first,
OK? Yeah, yeah.

Are we ready?

OK. Five, six, seven, eight.

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.

This is what, man?

We're just warming up, Tarek.

Yeah, exactly.

Tonight is going to be perfect, isn't
it?

I wanted to give you this back.

My course worked.

I could fail you for that, Vicky.

Are you going to?

If you resubmit, you could draw it back.

Is it that bad?

There's no getting away from it.

You've had a lot on your plate and your
work was bound to suffer.

I don't believe this.

I'm an A -grade student. You've told me
that over and over. Yeah, and you need

to pull something out of the bag and
fast.

How's the counselling going?

Not great.

I walked out.

Vicky.

I... I think you need some support.

Urgently.

And I want you to know that I'm here.

If you need anything at all.

Thanks.

I don't know what good it'll do.

It's like I'm destined to mess things up
at the moment.

Sorry,

I gotta go.

Hey, Vicky. Is everything all right?

Yeah.

I wanted to ask you, Lauren's going to
need some help with refreshments at

parents' evening.

Pouring the tea, nicking the biscuits,
that sort of thing.

What?

Parents' evening.

Refreshments. They need help. Can you do
it?

What?

Come on, son.

I've got a gold fix.

Speak later, yeah?

Yeah.

OK. Right, luckily for us, we've got the
whole day to get this right.

So I think we should record it one part
at a time, yeah?

Me and Rona are writing some lyrics.

I think it'll help make the track sound
a bit more interesting.

Um, I don't think we'll have the time,
girls.

Yo, you want lyrics?

I'll give you vocals.

Well, like I just said, I don't think
we've got the time. No, I'm ready.

Yeah, Simon, switch that mic on.

Testing, testing.

Right.

One, two.

One, two, three, four.

Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Yo,
do you miss being open?

I really do. No, thanks.

Yeah, I thought so.

Right. Push, man, this is how it goes.

Prison life was hard for that man behind
them bars.

I walked in. I stood tall.

I had fights.

I didn't fall.

Parents. I didn't fall.

I did the crime.

I did time. I didn't crime.

He is crap.

You should just let us do the thingy
things.

No, you need to learn something.

Do I? Do I, yes. Look, one more comment
from any of you and you're in the

cooler, okay? Do I make myself clear?

Right, Tara, can you go back to the
sound desk, please?

Sir, all I'm saying is...

Why bother even having music if you
can't sing over it? Yeah, let's roll

one. Yeah, you can stuff your stupid
orchestra.

Girls, no, hang on.

Mr Wilding, why can't we try an
arrangement with voices?

I mean, I know it's not what we've been
practising, but... OK.

PHONE RINGS Um, Phoenix, off.

Er, my dad had an hospital appointment.

He said he'd call me to tell me how it
went. Do you mind if I call him back?

OK, yeah, I hope he's all right.

Can Scout come as well?

Yeah, yeah, fine, just don't be too
long.

OK, girls.

Let's hear what you got.

Right, OK, just don't do that weird
voice you did earlier, yeah?

WHISTLE BLOWS Hello, is this Mia
Willington?

Yep.

Hi there, my name's Joe McGuinness. I'm
ringing from Chantry Hall nursing home.

I believe I had a missed call from you.
Yeah, I didn't know whether I had the

right number.

The voicemail sounded like it belonged
to a school kid, if I'm honest.

That must have been my friend, Phoenix.

He borrowed my phone.

He must have changed the voicemail
message.

Right.

OK, look, I just wanted to double -check
a reference on Jodie Allen.

One of your carers. Oh, she's fabulous,
and I would shut her with my life.

She's always been particularly great
with the handicapped.

Must go now. Bye.

Eat your heart out, Robert Pattinson.

Um, Wilding's come in.

Uh, excuse me.

Phoenix, we're ready for you.

Thank you.

I think it might be best if we just
split the workload.

OK. So, if you could check the average
grade for Year 12 English, I'll crack on

with Year 11 Science.

Right.

Thanks for this, Linda. I really
appreciate it. No, it's no problem.

Come in.

Gartley.

As instructed, my assessment data, but
if I could have the folder back, it's

where I keep my betting slips.

Joke.

Thank you for this, but you didn't need
to write it all down. It's submitted

online. That, Mrs Diamond, is one of the
crimes of the computer age, the loss of

the art of handwriting.

It has been noticed by eminent
graphologists that I'm a particularly

scribe, and so I embrace any opportunity
to share my graceful hand with others.

Enjoy.

This is going to take up an age.

Hello. Oh, sorry. Miles away. Anyone I
know?

Come on. Spill the beans. Oh, God. I
can't really say.

Well, you seem happy.

Well, it's early days, but... Yeah, I
am.

Good.

Sec.

Diamond.

D.

Girls, we've got it.

Girls, we've got enough.

Thank you.

Yeah, more than enough.

Shut up!

Cut it out.

Right, you know that bit, yeah?

You ready to go, yeah?

It's Mia.

Hi, Mia.

Jodie, hi.

Everything OK?

Fine, yeah. I just rang to ask you, I
spoke to Mr McGuinness.

Oh!

I offer gave me a rave review.

Yeah, he did.

But there was just something he said
that didn't quite fit.

What do you mean?

He used the word handicap.

It's just an outdated word.

No professional I know would use that
word these days.

I also found it slightly offensive.

Oh, yeah.

Well, to be honest with you, it's a bit
old school. It wouldn't have meant

anything by it.

What was he like as a boss?

He was always really supportive of...

man of his word.

Is there anything you'd like doing?

No, it's okay.

Oh, actually, you could pick up my
tablets on your way over tonight.

They're at the surgery.

They're used to people picking them up
on my behalf.

Just get them a name and address.

Absolutely, no problem at all.

See you later.

See you, Jodie.

And thanks.

I've got a question.

Sure.

Some of the kids are really down on
themselves about their grades. Vicki

MacDonald freaked out just now, and
maybe I've raised her expectations too

Well, I'm all for raising their
expectations. What if we interviewed

her a character assessment, and tried to
work out if there are any external

circumstances affecting her grades?

Then we could provide extra support.

You know, we could allocate an
aspirational grade based on what she

achieve in her A -levels. Sure. Take
some time off lessons this afternoon,

reassess. Most of the teachers have got
to sit there tonight and talk about

potential, but, you know, if we don't
have a concrete process in place...

Yeah? I just said that's great.

I'll find some cover for you.

What, that's OK?

Yes, of course.

Great. OK.

Well, I'll leave you to it.

Er, Sian? Yeah?

Are we OK with what happened last week?

With Jez?

I was just doing my job.

Yeah, sure.

I better get on.

OK, guys, tell you what.

Let's hear what we've got so far, shall
we?

Matt.

Rosie.

We're trying to record a song in here,
so will you... Sorry, we need to talk

about... The appointment.

Um, will you just take over for a
second? Thanks. Oh, that sounds great.

What are you doing here?

Good news.

We've been bumped up the waiting list.
We've got an appointment in half an

But if we leave now... I can't leave
now.

How long have we been planning this?

Rose, I'm teaching. I can't just go.

Plus, this recording thing that we're
doing is for tonight. It's parents'

evening. Matt, we've been given the
thumbs up.

We've already paid for the consultation.

We just need to go in, you do your
business, we sign a few forms and then

away.

Don't bail on me now.

Come on, please.

This is it now.

The day is upon us.

It'll take 20 minutes, Max.

You've got cover, yeah?

Everything all right?

Yes, absolutely fine.

Hi, I'm Rosie, old friend of Matt's. You
are?

Daniel Chalk.

Chalky. Er, Chalky, I just need to steal
him for half an hour. I really need his

sperm, you see.

Can't actually believe you just said
that.

Here you come.

You trying for a kid?

Er, yeah.

Ooh!

Top banana!

So, erm, can you cover for him?

Look, I can't ask Chalky to cover.

Well, I suppose I could.

You see?

We're sorted. Come on.

Are you sure?

We'll have you long, OK?

Yeah, yeah.

You have a nice, erm... time.

What's Ronan playing at?

Well, sounds like they're trying to sort
stuff out to me.

Why bother?

It's not like they had a row. She
battered him.

Now he's going back for more. What, is
she hypnotising him as well or

You all right, Vic?

Look, I'm sorry, I was just... Oh, no,
carry on.

I was just making sure yous were OK.

Yeah, we're fine. Not that it's any of
your business. Well, it kind of is,

because Ronan's my mate.

Yeah? Well, he's my boyfriend. Yeah,
well, should have thought about that

you went for him. Don't listen to him.

You're right.

It's none of our business. Oh, don't
worry.

I was just leaving anyway.

Now look what you've done.

Well handled.

Come on, don't tell me Sida were there.
She's got Ronan wrapped around her

little finger.

You getting fresh with Trudy now, then?

What? No.

Yeah, what are you doing?

Nothing.

Dream on, Finn.

Yes, right. Well, I think we're going to
have to crack on with that Mr Wilding.

He's had to, erm, to pop off.

Tarek, why don't we listen to Sean and
Rona's recording, eh?

Coming up.

I thought you needed a bit of help. Do
you think that's funny?

Well, it sounds well better, doesn't it?
Listen, take that effect off the

voices, please.

Er, I need that bloke back.

I think to have deleted it. I'm sorry.

No, you're lying.

Stop wrecking everything.

Me wrecking it? They're the ones who
shattered me off the mic. Just stop it.

Bunch of amateurs.

I'm done. Forget this.

Right, I'll see you all after the break.
When we get the recording finished.

You hanging out with me tonight?

I can't. I've got to get me his pills
and then go to work.

I can't wait to start his job. It's
going to be great.

Well, hey, we can nick off now and pick
up the pills.

Yeah, right.

It's break.

We'll be back in time. Mr. Wilding's not
even here.

Like you said, you need to keep your new
boss sweet.

I don't know.

Come on, it'll be a laugh.

All right, then.

Where are you going?

I'll tell you later.

Come up from here.

Boogie. Linda.

Hey, great initiative Sian's got going
on there.

Glad you approve.

Um, do you like Vietnamese food?

Because I thought maybe I could rustle
something up later.

Eat with our fingers, get a bit messy.

I've never really gone in for the whole
eat with your fingers thing.

You're right, yeah, always a little
bold, but I do have cutlery too, so, you

know.

Look, Linda, I want to be clear.

What happened on Friday was a one -off
between two consenting adults.

But we crossed the line.

Never to be repeated.

All right?

Yeah, I suppose.

You know me.

It wouldn't work.

Of course it would. It's fine.

So we're okay?

Sure.

Tariq?

Can you come back in or what?

What for?

No one wants my rhymes.

You've done nothing but sneer at
everyone.

What did you expect when you got up, eh?

Wild applause, I heart Tariq banners.

No. Just wanted to make music, I
thought.

The orchestra's about the final sound.

I mean, ideally, you don't want to turn
it into a chorus of gremlins.

Hey, it's not funny.

Look, I might be an old duffer who knows
nothing, but from what I heard, it

sounded all right.

It's a tough crowd in there. Don't let
them put you off.

In fact, if I hadn't been so disruptive,
I was going to ask you, you know, how

you did that thing on the voices.

Not in that difficult.

You'll come back in a while.

I've got a song to write in... ..four
hours.

I could really do with your help.

All right.

Here we are, then.

Yep. A love nest.

It could do with a few candles, couldn't
it?

That's the way we could down a treat.

How drunk were we when we had this idea?

Remarkably.

It'll be great.

Yeah. Yeah, I hope so.

As we sit off.

What do you mean?

I woke up this morning worrying about
speakers and sound desks. And now we're

sat here about to be parents.

Before you know it, we're going to be
arguing over who helps with the English

homework and pottering off to parents'
evenings.

Really messing with my head. Matt, we've
gone through it all.

Mr Wilding?

Yeah. Anyway.

You were the one who said my baby, our
baby, should know its dad.

Yeah. Yeah, you are. Okay, sorry.

Here goes.

So we have Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars.

Come on, up you come. Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus, Neptune.

Come on, planets are quick.

You're quick, planets. Very good. Right,
imagine that the playground here is our

galaxy, only smaller.

Now, I want you to stand in relation to
the sun, and in a minute, we're going to

work out the relative distance between
all the planets. If I need someone to be

the sun, Zach, where would you be, do
you think? Which end is hotter?

Mercury. Brilliant. Well done. So we
have sun, Mercury.

After Mercury comes Venus. Mr.

Byrne, can I steal Zach for a moment,
please?

Oh, well, that would be tricky.

we'll lose all of our light and heat,
won't we?

But we'll manage. Off you go, sunshine.

Don't worry, Zach, you're not in
trouble, OK?

I didn't mean you had to cover for me.
Are you joking?

I love this.

Should be doing it more often.

OK, now, where did we get? We got as far
as Mars. But hold on a second. Back to

relative distances. If Neptune is down
the end here... It's done and dusted, as

they say.

Right.

Right, I'd better get back to school.
Oh, please stay.

At least until I go in.

I feel a bit sick.

Nerves.

Sweaty palms.

OK, go on.

Matt, are you all right?

Yeah, yeah.

We'll be fine.

See? It's not all doom and gloom, is it?

Nobody expects you to be too close to
your standards yet.

And your dad is really proud that you're
trying.

You're better.

Will you tell Dad tonight?

Don't you reckon I could get a B in
science?

Yeah, of course.

I think he'd rather hear it from you.

Come on. Off you go.

Hey, sorry.

I just need to grab some stuff.

I still haven't set things up in the
hall properly.

I need to work on my time management.

I'm left everything a bit late.

Is there anything I can do?

No. You've got enough of your time.

Oh, I've been thinking about Vicky.
Yeah. I'll have a word with Ronan, get

take on it.

Are you sure you've got time?

Well, I'll have to make time, otherwise
I'm not doing my job properly.

All right, you're joking, aren't you?

Phoenix is cool and funny and daring.

He's really kind, too. He offered me a
place to stay if I needed it.

Oh, my God, you're so into him.

No.

Yeah, all right.

He's not really my type, but we can all
be daring.

Oi, give it back!

What did they give? Em, the prescription
drug. For the treatment of anxiety,

insomnia and muscle spasms.

That means medicine.

Come on, be a laugh.

We can hang out, get wasted.

Em, no!

Oi, what are you doing?

We just, er, hopped out.

Yeah, hopped.

You're supposed to be in class, what's
going on? With all due respect, though,

you're supposed to be in class too.
Right, get inside both of you now.

Are you mad?

out. It's just a laugh.

Cut it out, mate.

All right, you lot.

I thought Vicky was supposed to be
helping you.

I haven't seen her, sir.

I thought you said you didn't want his
help.

Is that right, Rowan?

I'm not joined at the hip, sir. She'll
have to know me every move.

Yeah, but you are keeping an eye on her,
aren't you?

Look, she just needs a little bit of
help at the moment from the people that

love her.

In case you'd forgotten, that'd be you.

OK, we're doing great, but we haven't
put the guitars on yet, or the bass, or

the trumpets, flute.

Hey, what's going on?

Just found these two out at the front.

Oh, great.

Been practising all this time?

No, they haven't. I've been skiving.

I was told they had to practise.

OK, Em, just in time to record your
flute part.

Right, come on, let's get cracking. The
clock's ticking.

Oh, well, you should have thought about
that before you took off, shouldn't you?

Yeah. Thank you, Rona.

OK.

Hey, cut it out.

Cut it out.

What's he on about? She's taking the
mitt.

You know what? We don't even need a
flute.

I'll be the judge of that, yeah?

Put some passion into it, yeah? Passion.

Yeah.

Want to go again?

She looks like she's tripping.

She's not right here. She's not well.

Okay, Em, stop.

What's wrong?

Look alive.

I don't know.

I feel awful.

My head's...

Oh, my God.

What's the matter with her? She's safe
and died, the pal.

What?

Right, we need to get to the sickbay
now.

Tariq, grab the door.

You look after the recording for me.

Mr Burns is going to want to know what's
going on here.

I'd better go with her.

I've got it.

Can you take a break from that?

Either I need to work harder or I don't.

I thought I was failing.

Vicky, I need to interview you and you
need to cooperate with me.

What's the point?

I'm going to fail anyway. I may as well
leave.

I'm not going to let you fail.

I'm going to get a C.

To get into a top university, I need an
A.

What do you want, Vicky?

What do you mean?

Well, forget about everything that's
happened. What do you actually want?

I don't know anymore.

Right, well, then you listen to me.

If you've decided your education is
over, then it's over.

It's that simple.

Life's hard.

You know, it just is. And it surprises
you.

I mean, you see me go through it a
little bit this term.

I mean, if you'd have told me this time
last year that I'd be married with

stepkids, well, let's just say it's not
what I expected.

But you've just got to get on with it.

You can't unravel. It's not an option.

I want the gold to universe.

I want to do a degree in biochemistry.

Okay, and how much do you want that?

More than anything.

Oh, sorry.

It's okay.

Think we're done here?

Thanks, Mrs. Diamond.

Wow.

She looks happier. How did you do that?

Well, her confidence is low, and I just
reminded her of a few things.

Good.

What about you showing off early?

Yeah, something like that.

It's nice to roll my sleeves up again,
anyway.

Well, it was good to see.

Sian, I've finished with Grantley's
grades.

Will you check I've inputted them onto
the system okay?

When you get a minute.

Excuse me.

Hiya.

Sorry I haven't been around much today.

You OK?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Just trying to clear my head.

Something that Mrs Diamond said.

All right.

How did it go?

Did he get your coursework back?

I don't know. He's asking.

Well, that's not fair.

What do you want me to do?

Look, it's going to take your time.

Yeah, well, you were fine this morning.

Yeah, well, maybe I've had a chance to
think about her.

You know, I can't pretend that
everything's OK.

I can't pretend that last week you
didn't hate my guts.

All right.

You don't need to say it out loud.

Well, it happened, Vic.

I've got to learn to trust you again.

The person that I love.

The person that I thought loved me.

But I do love you.

Well, you act like everyone's out to get
you.

I know.

But I need to move on from this too.

I want to make it up to you so we can
get back to normal.

I know.

Yeah.

Yeah, this all looks really good.

I cannot tell you what a relief it is to
have it finished.

We can tell the staff it's ready for
printing now.

Michael will be pleased.

Yeah, he better be.

Sian? Yeah?

Do you mind me asking?

You had a thing with Michael, didn't
you?

Yeah, a long time ago.

We should probably compare notes then.

What?

You and Michael?

He's your mystery mate?

We had too much to drink, but still.

It was quite a night.

I'm sure.

Now he says it's a one -off, which is
just hurting a bit.

Sorry.

Was it the same with you and him when
you broke up?

Uh, it was complicated.

His head was in pieces and he kind of
pushed me away.

Right.

Actually, could we talk about this
later? I'm just, I'm clock -watching a

bit. Is that all right? Oh, of course,
yeah.

Sean, you won't say anything to Michael.

My pride and all that.

Sure.

The nurse says she'll be fine.

Where did Em get the pills?

Is she going to be all right?

She's just taking drugs. What do you
think?

Now, I asked you a question. Where did
Em get the pills?

I got this job, all right?

Working for someone.

Mia Willington.

She asked me to go to the doctors and
collect the prescription.

So you gave her prescription drugs to
your friend?

I didn't give them to her.

She snatched them off me and shoved them
down her throat.

Don't lie to me, Scott.

You've dealt drugs before, haven't you?
You at it again?

I'm not.

Taking those drugs were nought to do
with me. Right, well, you can report

to me after you've collected your
things. I'll give you a letter addressed

your mother telling her you're excluded.

What's the point?

She don't give a talk.

You don't get it, do you?

Why do you think I got a job working
nights?

Because I don't want to be at home with
her.

I'm not going back.

We can't force her to go home if she
doesn't want to. Fine, then we'll call

social services.

What, so you're just going to chuck me
back into care, then? Scout, it's your

doing.

All I wanted to do was just to get a
life for myself.

in this job, you just have to trust your
instincts.

Even if you might be wrong?

Do you realise what you've done? Do you?

I know, I... It's alright for you, with
your cosy house and your caring mum.

Because of you showing off, taking those
pills, I lost my job.

That was going to be my new home.

I'm sorry. I am. I just thought we
weren't going to be mates.

This is so messed up.

Mr Burns ringing social services.

Because of all this, I might get taken
back into care.

Do you get it?

Do you get how stupid it was to take
those pills now?

Well, Mrs Willington, I'm just so sorry
that you've been lied to.

I can only offer you my most sincere
apologies.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Come.

Take a seat.

Well, you are one very silly little
girl.

Sir, I know.

I'm sorry.

Take my advice. You stay away from Jodie
Allen. You understand? She's nothing

but trouble.

But she's my best friend.

What happened to me was nothing to do
with her.

I took those drugs from her.

She tried to stop me, but I wouldn't let
her.

I was showing off.

You were showing off?

I don't know why.

Well, thanks to you, Miss James, Jodie's
going to a care home tonight.

Sir, please don't let that happen.

There's nowhere else for her to go.

My mum will take her in.

She's stayed over at ours loads of
times.

My mum really likes her.

There's an empty room too.

Matthew's just never going to want it
again.

OK, fine.

Take the phone.

Give your mother a call.

Let's give her a try.

Scout?

I spoke to my mum.

Are you moving with us?

You are kidding.

Seriously. The school reckons it's OK
and she'll speak to social services, do

whatever it takes.

Scal.

I'm really sorry about earlier.

Well?

Happy?

I jumped to conclusions, Jodie. I really
shouldn't have.

No, you shouldn't.

And there was me thinking I'm a good
judge of character.

After today, I'm not so sure.

But I owe you an apology.

Did Em talk to you about arrangements?

Yeah.

I guess it could work.

Good.

Don't you think you've got away with
what you did today?

You can wave goodbye to your lunchtime
breaks for the foreseeable future.

Let's go.

You up for a burger after the parents'
evening?

Sorry, I can't.

I'm moving in M's tonight.

Go on, take a picture. It's another
moment in history.

Come on.

OK, some of the parents have started to
arrive, so if you could make your way

downstairs, that would be great.

And I've got the final few of those
here.

Sam. Yeah.

Thanks.

Um, Zach said that you'd had a word.

Yeah, I did.

Well, he seemed happier.

He needs to know that you believe in
him, Jess.

Where's that come from? He thinks that
you're ashamed of him because he's

struggling.

Is he wrong?

I can't win with you, can I?

No, uh, purple.

Does it say confident or a bit of a
burg?

Fuck. Yeah, I thought so. I'll go with
the other one.

I need a vote of confidence.

Are we to be treated to the fruits of
your musical labours this evening?

Oh, yes.

Everyone's in for quite a surprise.

Right, folks, I've just been downstairs.

And, Sian, you've done a terrific job.

Chalky, it's parents' evening, not speed
dating.

No, no, no.

It's Ignatia. I get a bit jumpy, you
know. Right, well, you should expect a

warmer -than -usual response down there.
And I know I already owe you all a

drink. Pub later.

The first round is mine.

Well, that is a language I respect and
understand.

You are a genius. Hardly. Do you mind?

What? I have to go.

Milk two sugars, yeah?

Aye, you'll be the one, mate.

Ready to go, sir? Yeah, sure.

Hello?

Vic, I'm really sorry about before.

It's all right.

Yeah, you know me.

Couldn't help myself.

I don't blame you, to be honest.

Right, we're going to get off anyway,
yeah? All right, have a good one, mate.

Bye, Sean.

Well good evening everyone.

I just wanted to thank you all for
coming.

It's been an absolutely wonderful
turnout, so thank you again.

Now, the pupils have done us proud
recently. Even pupils with lower grades

been able to set their own benchmarks,
thanks to our aspirational grade

initiative, meaning those pupils with
low grades can think about what they can

achieve with the right application.

Because here at Waterloo Road, we
believe that every child should be able

higher and be assessed on that
potential.

And our pupils have proved that they are
a force to be reckoned with. Just to

demonstrate that, a few of our music
students spent the day working hard to

prepare their own music track.

And I think now we're fortunate enough
to be able to hear it. Tarek?

Technical glitch.

When did you record this?

Oh, we'd be beavering away, you know.

Great.

Chalky, you produced a music track.

You're a bona fide music producer.

Oh, do you want to get some drinks in
for me?

I'll be along after I've finished
cleaning up. Thank you.

Matt, well done.

Thank you for taking that gamble.

You happy with that?

You like it?

Yeah.

What Tarek was here, he was brilliant.

So what kind of music was it, Chalky?

Oh, well, it was sick.

No, it started off a bit grimy, and then
when the dubstep kicked in, Tarek was

emceeing over the top.

Right, come on around.

I'll give you a hand.

Why was he sick?

Come on.

Couldn't these have waited?

I just wanted all the records of
attendance.

Right.

Sian? Yeah?

Everything all right between you and
Jez?

Yeah, why?

He just seemed a bit tense earlier,
that's all.

Well, I'm surprised you had time to
notice anyone else with that life.

There seems to be so much going on in
your room.

What's that supposed to mean?

Apparently, there was no stopping you.

Quite a night, she said.

Linda.

And why are you worried about that?

I'm not worried.

You don't seem happy about it.

I just, I think it's in poor taste.

You know, you're her boss. She's
obviously into you, and you just...

consenting adults. We can do whatever we
like.

Yeah. I know that.

Are you jealous?

Are you out of your mind?

Yeah, you are. You're jealous.

You're so arrogant. You haven't got a
clue, have you? What?

This is what you do, Michael. You play
with people.

You did it to me and now you've done it
to Linda.

You were the one who ran off and got
married.

Don't you dare.

You OK?

Yeah. Quite caught me by surprise today.

What, you mean you don't think I'm ready
to be a dad?

Of course I do.

Rosie and I have this drunken idea.

What if we don't get on?

I mean, I can't have my child growing up
thinking that he or she was a mistake,

like Scout.

If there's one teacher Scout talks about
all the time, it's you.

Come on.

No, no, she has one of the most
difficult kids in that school.

And you got through to her.

You and Rosie, you're good friends,
aren't you?

Surely you can pass that on to the
little one.

Some parents couldn't.

Maybe you should just stop worrying.

Our baby plan's coming along.

Sean.

You.

Thought I'd check out parents' evening.

Very interesting.

People really like you, don't they?

Sounds like you're the big hero again.
Get out of my office.

Could have wheeled me out.

Seen as that was your big success story.

You need to leave.

Right now, otherwise I'm calling the
police.

OK. I can tell them about you popping
round my place, threatening me.

What do you want?

My girlfriend kicked me out today.

So?

What, you've nobody to talk to about it?
Don't push it.

So now, because of you, I've got no
home, no girlfriend. Wayne, how is this

fault? Because of the case, I was away
on remand.

And I missed the birth of my little
girl.

And now Alicia wants me out.

I've got nothing.

Wayne, I did everything I could for you
when you were at school. You know that.

God, you're so ungrateful.

You can't have everything handed to you
on a plate.

Sooner or later, you're going to have to
man up.

Take responsibility for your own life.

It's your fault I'm out on the street
now.

You see?

There you go again.

Go again.

Get out!

You must be quite scared of me.

Aren't you?

Brilliant.

Really?

Hey. Hello.

Hi. Where have you been?

I had to help take down some display
boards.

Really? You should have said I'd have
helped you. Well, you're not stopping

another? No, I should get back.

You all right?

Yeah, it's just been a bit of a long
day, that's all. Bye.

See you later.

Sit down.

Thank you.

A real one?

Yeah, of course.

I'll get you a glass of wine. You
deserve it. Anyone else?

Hey!

I told you to leave. Period.

Get yourself off school property right
now. Make me. I'm not going to tell you

again. Come on, then. Go!

Come on, then!

Get out of here!

You leave me alone!

Oh, man, you're asking for it!

Again!

What did you say?

What did you say?

Be a man about it.

Me and you are going to see a lot more
of each other.

That Wayne lad that Michael reckons
stabbed him in his unconscious in

Suspective pal play.

Show me your phone.

I wish I could, but if I do, I'll land
someone in trouble.

With who?

The police.

Me and Trudy. We've been, like, going
out, but in secret.

No, I have heard it all.

Tab's gonna kill you.

Yo, come here!

We're together?

It's true.
