It's an exciting day at Waterloo Road as Kim Campbell returns from Rwanda to resume her role as Head of Pastoral Care, as the drama set in a school continues. Popular with staff and students alike, Kim raises a few eyebrows when she turns up with a baby in tow but no Andrew Treneman...
The staffroom rumour mill goes into overdrive – who is the father of Kim's child?
Kim can't wait to get stuck into work, but the planned careers day, involving former pupils of Waterloo Road, is thrown into chaos with the arrival of a glamour model, Sarah-Leanne. Kim finds herself battling with Sarah-Leanne to win the hearts and minds of her celebrity-obsessed students. Despite Kim's reservations, Janeece finds the careers day inspiring, although not in the way everyone would have hoped.
For pregnant Chlo, Kim's return prompts a positive rethink about her future – one involving motherhood and hairdressing. Chlo is determined to study hard and, hopefully, progress to university. Tom is delighted but Donte isn't.
The day holds other challenges for Rachel, as she, Eddie and Philip struggle to cope in the aftermath of Melissa's departure.
