Ruby's day gets off to a bad start when husband John announces he wants a divorce, in the penultimate episode of the drama set in a Rochdale school.
Over at school, things aren't much better as Rachel adds to Ruby's workload by putting her in charge of organising the school prom.
When Adam and Rachel later announce their engagement, Ruby is devastated – still believing there is something between her and Adam. Oblivious to her feelings, Adam gives Ruby a sneak peak at the wedding cake he's made for Rachel. Once left alone, Ruby lets her emotions get the better of her and trashes the cake.
Feeling distraught and lonely she turns to her pills for solace, only to discover she's run out, and, buckling under the stress, locks herself in her office. The resulting fallout is huge, with Rachel finally uncovering the truth about Ruby's drug addiction.

As a consequence of their behaviour in the art gallery, meanwhile, Finn and Amy are being kept apart. Frustrated by the situation, Amy plays up in class and finds herself on the receiving end of Ruby's meltdown. Feeling she's reached the end of the line with Amy's behaviour, Rachel threatens Amy with a move to a different school.
Elsewhere, Sam and Bolton continue to pretend they don't fancy each other and end up asking different people to the prom, while Steph lands herself in hot water with Rachel when she decides to make a teachers' calendar to raise cash for the prom but conveniently "forgets" to mention that it's a naked calendar.
