I got the note. Do I come across as quiet and sweet? You do to me.

Freak!

You all right, though, yeah? Yeah.

What's going on, Billy? Everything is fine.

Just sick of everyone treating me like I'm a joke.

# Wake up in the morning

# We rise when the early bird calling

# Yeah, we rise when we get up in our feelings

# Do what the Phoenix do So, of course, we rise

# When we got to get to class

# We rise, when we're stuck under the ash

# We rise, all my friends gonna see this through

# Cos we just do what the Phoenix do We rise. #

Oh, I've got to tell you about my Pilates this morning.

I got all the way to my 100th 100th

without stopping!

I'll be balancing my coffee cup on my abs in no time!

Welcome to the greatest show on Earth!

Everyone's welcome here,

whatever your musical preference or taste in tunes.

Though I do maintain you can't dance safely in heels.

Unless you're Oti Mabuse!

Either way, there's a place here for everyone.

The Phoenix Rise end of term party!

Seems to be working.

Thanks.

You coming tonight?

Maybe.

I'm all for second chances.

For a start, where would you be without them?

Are you listening?

Hmm.

But the man is a head teacher.

He has to be held accountable.

I'll pick up your dress from the dry cleaners.

For the party?

Oh, no doubt you'd rather wear something

second-hand and stinky.

The other dress is fine.

You'll make a great couple tonight.

What, me and Summer?

Nah.

Oh, here we go. Told yourself it won't happen tonight.

It won't.

What do you care?

You've been after her all term.

Know what your problem is?

Too much moping about and not enough action.

I told her I like her, OK?

In a letter.

But nothing.

Dead. What, a letter? As in...?

Maybe try telling her to her face, bro.

Go on, sir. Tell us. Yeah, tell us, sir.

Is your car actually yours this time, sir?

The incident was declared to the authorities.

So why is there an emergency governors meeting later?

So the local authority can assure them

that I have their full backing.

Now, can we all move on?

Hey. All ready for the party?

Sir... This is nothing for you to worry about, OK?

Apparently Miss Abel's made one of her famous trifles.

The whole school's out there chatting rubbish

about Mr Stewart.

Nobody cares about an old man who nicked a car 1,000 years ago.

My mum said the school sent an email

saying they know what he did and they're good with it.

Really? That doesn't mean the parents are.

There's some emergency meeting later.

If these authorities or whatever come sniffing around sir,

they'll find out what he's done for me and Ri,

hiding everything from social services.

And then what?

We go into care.

Thanks for earlier.

I fell off a fence once.

I was trying to feed a horse with an apple.

Do you want to go to the party with me? What?

No.

No? Yeah, as in no.

Sorry.

Why?

Oh, OK. You're judging me on my past.

There are some things you've done.

So you don't believe people can change?

Right.

Wait, you're going the wrong way. What's new?

Wait!

I wanted to ask you something.

Do you know that note you got...

..with the line from your favourite film?

"We are infinite." Is this a joke?

With everything that's happening,

you're going on about some pointless note from a pointless film?

Grow up, Billy.

Ah, Miss Ruiz, please tell me you're here to take

one of these maths geniuses off my hands?

I am, actually.

What are you doing, you clown?

Charming.

Can you come with me? What for?

Therapy time for Tyson Fury.

Pipe down, you.

Any more and you'll be off to isolation.

Your dad's gone again, hasn't he?

No.

Lying doesn't suit you, Billy.

How long's he been gone?

He drives long distance, don't he?

So, the odd night, he'll sleep in a truck.

But that's it.

I get it. You're worried your dad will get in trouble.

You're worried about Ri. But...

..this is bigger than that, isn't it?

Mr Stewart's helping you, hiding your situation

from social services.

You do know that's wrong?

You have to tell them about your dad.

I'll do it with you if you're scared.

You know I can't just ignore this.

I don't know what you're on about.

Mr Stewart will lose his job.

He's risked everything to help you.

Don't you think you should help him?

While you still can?

You're wasting your time.

You know that Millie Watson in Year 10

reckons you pied Nathan Keyes in the corridor?

Well, that's definitely not true.

No pies were involved.

He did ask if I wanted to go with him to the party, though.

Do you like him?

Wow!

Leila, I said no.

So you did pie him?

Confused.

He has an awful reputation, and he really scared Khaled.

Back up, sis. You said you fancy him.

Er, no, you asked... And I...

Do you like him?

I hate the things he's done.

I hate some things Bee's done.

That doesn't make her a bad person.

People can change.

If Khaled is as loyal as you are to him, then he'll get it.

So what are you saying?

I think she's trying to say...

..you do you, babe!

You OK?

It looks like Mr Stewart's going to get it in the neck.

What's going to happen?

I don't know.

But I just wanted to tell everyone that's helped me and Ri

that it means a lot.

And that includes you.

You've been a good mate.

It was me.

It was childish and stupid, and I'm so sorry.

I sent the meme about sir.

You what?

You will not believe what this one's been up to.

Whoa! What are you doing?

Oi, Bill! Bill, chill!

He sent that stuff about Stewart! Stop!

How could you? What do you think's going to happen to Billy and Ri?

Thought you was our friend? Everyone, just chill!

Khaled?

If there was something I could do to help Mr Stewart, I'd do it.

Anything.

I'm sorry, Billy.

Great idea. We'll talk more about that. Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Me and Ri. We're good now, sir.

There's no need to help any more.

Do you understand? What's happened?

Is your dad home?

Look, can we just pretend this never happened?

OK? If anyone asks me, I'll say...

Who are they?

Mr Stewart, can I steal you, please?

Sure.

I know you're angry, but it was taken out of my hands.

It's for the best, Billy.

You'll see.

You're the first student I've seen place themselves in isolation.

You OK?

Wait, what's wrong?

Talk to me.

Urgh! Summer!

Urgh! Summer?

Summer?

Summer!

Stop!

Right, Summer...

Wait, you've hurt yourself.

Let me see.

Summer, come on.

I can't breathe, Miss. I need space.

Summer, do you trust me?

OK, well, breathe with me now, please.

That's all.

Just breathe.

You're hating this, aren't you,

me being in here?

Anyway, I know how precious your breaks are, so...

Firstly, this isn't about what Khaled did.

If he hadn't started all this,

then they would never have found out about Billy and Ri.

Look, Khaled made a mistake.

But I will never stand here and tell you

not to watch out for your friends.

And on day one,

I told you how important your bond would be -

the six of you.

And I'm so proud of you.

All of you.

Still kind of Khaled's fault.

Look, none of us would be here right now

if we were perfect humans.

So, if you can't forgive one of your own,

then what was the point of me?

Was?

There's a special assembly later.

But I wanted to tell you all myself.

I've been suspended,

pending an investigation.

They sacked you?

Do you ever listen?

An investigation.

He might come back.

He might...not.

You've done so well this term.

Till now.

There's nothing wrong with needing help.

I'm sick of being...

..sick.

This feeling in my stomach. Always anxious.

I couldn't even eat my lunch yesterday

because the tomato was touching the bread.

Have you got coping mechanisms?

Sometimes it gets so bad so quickly,

I forget them, and then it's too late.

I've missed some therapy sessions.

Have you told your mum?

I've got a support worker I can talk to...

..called Romeo.

He's nice.

He listens, you know?

And no judgment.

But...

Yeah?

..I'm scared.

What of?

That if I tell him how I really am, then they'll send me

back to hospital.

And what happened there?

I got better.

Er, you're supposed to ask before you print something.

Can I print something, Miss?

Sign at the bottom.

What is it?

I'm going to ask my mum to adopt you.

She loves you.

You always make the bed when you stop over.

Romeo, it's Summer.

Not really.

It's like hanging out with a jigsaw.

One with missing pieces.

As if you've ever done a jigsaw.

Mate, what you need is a girlfriend.

Are you totally clueless?

Do you know what's about to happen to my life?

Look, Summer's into you, man.

Yeah? She just told me to grow up.

You know that sappy note you left in her locker?

I signed my name on it.

She thought it was from me.

Why?

Why would you do that? Cos I was jealous.

Mate, it's a snake move, but I'm telling you now.

What?

Are you going to hit me?

It's fine. But after, you go talk to her.

Bill.

Go.

Go!

Just cos it comes in your size

doesn't mean you should wear it. Oh!

Think I prefer standard detention to baby-sitting 200 hyper kids.

Mm. There is one bonus.

Abel's raspberry trifle.

I'm sorry. I forgot to bring clothes to change into,

and then I missed the bus.

Nathan asked me to the dance, and I sort of said yes.

You like Nathan?

He promised to apologise to you.

And I...

I don't think he's all bad.

If you hate it, I'll tell him no.

Really?

Course. You're my friend.

OK.

Come on!

Bee.

Leila's already gone in.

I'm not here for Leila.

She told me you were helping out tonight.

You didn't go to your end of term thing last year so I thought...

It's detention for me, not a party.

Well, I brought you these still.

You always took them without asking,

so I thought it'd make a change.

Always have to make a dig, don't you?

I didn't mean...

I'm sorry.

I want you to have them.

I think she likes you.

Is she actually coming over here? Ha! She is.

Watch out, bro!

Are you lost, babes?

Your jailbird mates are over there.

Nathan...

As if he'd be seen with you!

Hmm, bless.

You!

You're a bully.

I've worked out why.

Because you're weak.

You're the one that gets stepped on in cartoons, not me.

You're going to let this freak talk to you like that?

It takes a king to know a queen. She's right.

You're way too good for that rat anyway.

He's not getting away with this.

Oi, Nathan!

Not bad, Miss.

Now run!

Come here!

Come here! Get back here!

Where's Summer?

Your mum's packing your bag.

She's going to meet us at St Michael's.

She OK?

Worried, but she loves you.

Are you ready for this?

There's something I need to do.

Livin' Overdrive by Marc JB

What's that smell?

Cheese balls and hormones.

Phoenix Rise has given me somewhere to feel safe.

What's he on about?

My first proper friends.

That's us!

You made me proud of myself.

Well, most of the time.

And that's all because of Mr Stewart.

Because he gave me - us - a second chance.

OK, that's enough.

So are we really going to stand here

and let these so-called authorities walk all over him?

No!

All over us? No!

We're forgetting who we are.

We're Phoenix Rise!

Yeah!

Guys, we're about to play musical chairs.

This is a party!

No, Miss, it's a protest.

Come on. Bring back sir!

Bring back sir!

Bring back sir!

Bring back sir!

Bring back sir!

Bring back sir!

Come back now, Khaled! Bring back sir!

Bring back sir!

Bring back sir!

Bring back sir! We don't have insurance for this!

Bring back sir...

There you are.

Right here.

I... I want to tell you something.

You know that note,

the day of the football match?

I know it said it was from Darcy, but...

..it wasn't.

I wrote it.

He got you to write it for him?

I should've known he could never write... No, for Darcy.

For me.

I should've known.

Look, if I don't say this now, then maybe I never will.

So...

..you are the best person that I've ever met.

You've got everything, but you're still kind and strong.

Brave.

And... And you're so pretty.

I'm none of those things, Billy.

I'm broken.

Never say that.

That's...

The way that you deal with your problems

is one of the things that I love...

Er, like about you.

There's something I have to tell you.

I know what you're going to say.

I just... I had to tell you that.

It's fine. No.

I'm going back to the unit.

I need some help.

You know, just for a bit.

But when I get home...

..you're the first person I'll come looking for.

If you'd like that?

It doesn't feel right. Without her.

She'll be back soon.

Mouthier and more spoilt than ever.

Is anyone mouthier than you?

It feels like the end.

We're the boiler room six, not five.

No.

Summer would say it's not about where you are.

It's about who you are.

# I was thinking of you

# Another day, nothing new

# Are you still underwater?

# There's no need to pretend

# To be anything else

# And there's no path to follow

# Let's look ahead

# Let's not look back

# Not look back

# This is the time

# So let's not waste it

# Not waste it

# I don't ever want this moment to end

# Real magic exists

# Only in our heads... #
