Waterloo Road - Episode 6
A week has passed since Izzie lost her baby, but Tom still hasn't confessed to her what happened with Stacey, as the school drama continues.
Izzie has returned to work but, following another attack in the area, is very protective of her two daughters, Chlo and Mika, and doesn't want them walking home on their own. The local police release a description of the attacker; he is of average height, with dark hair and a local accent.
Steph is delighted her influence is working when she sees Maxine return to school, and is beginning to feel valued again. But it looks as though Maxine's rogue boyfriend, Lewis, is trying to lure her back into her old ways.
Tom, meanwhile, is avoiding his pupil, Stacey, and could lose his job if anyone found out what happened between them. But it's not long before the indiscretion is made public, thanks to big mouth Janeece. Tom is hauled before Andrew and Kim, both of whom are appalled, and Izzie is livid when she finds out that Tom didn't tell her.
Elsewhere, Mika takes the plunge and finally admits her feelings to Brett.
Later, Jack summons Tom to his office and informs him that he may have to call the police as Stacey is only 15. He returns home to try to make amends with Izzie, but, as far as she's concerned, their relationship is over and she throws him out of the house.
Meanwhile, foolish Stacey is in deep trouble for her actions, and ends up walking home alone. And Maxine makes an accidental discovery which leads to the identity of the attacker – Lewis Seddon had been right all along.

Episode 8 - Thurs 8th March
It's the start of Year 11's work experience and one group of pupils are going to a fashion warehouse, as the school drama continues.
Stacey returns to Waterloo Road following the attack and her father, Terry, is quick to reassure Kim Campbell she is over her crush on Tom Clarkson. Stacey spots Kim and her dad getting on well and hatches a plan.
Lorna and Tom, meanwhile, are getting on well again, but Izzie is horrified by their closeness.
Elsewhere, the governors advertise the post of head teacher and Jack has to submit a formal application. Andrew queries whether his interview technique might need some work, but Jack is confident his charm will secure him the job.
Later, disaster strikes when the manager's purse goes missing at the fashion warehouse where some of the pupils are doing their work experience, and they are sent back to face Jack's wrath. Fingers are soon pointing at Maxine, and Steph is furious and disappointed.
Mika and Brett finally get together, but Mika unwittingly puts her foot in it when she confides in Steph about Brett and Davina's fling.
Tom later suggests to a delighted Lorna that they have a night out to forget their worries. However, after a few drinks, she makes a passionate move on him.

Episode 9 - Thursday 15th March
Dale Baxter keeps absconding from school and, as head of Pastoral Care, it's Kim's responsibility to find out what the problem is, as the school drama continues.
It's the day of Jack Rimmer's interview for the permanent post of Head Teacher. However, he is up against the relentless careerist Lyndsay Woodham, who seems determined to get the job. They both have to face a panel of pupils as part of the interview process, but cocky Brett seems determined to scupper Jack's chances.
Elsewhere, Kim is thrilled when Dale enjoys his drama lesson. But, later, a disastrous English class, led by Lorna Dickey, reveals the true nature of Dale's problem – and he's soon fleeing school again. However, Dale's plight strikes a chord with Lorna and she's able to provide Kim with some surprise information that could help him.
Jack's interview doesn't go well and it seems his days as Head of Waterloo Road may be numbered. Cocky Lyndsay, meanwhile, has the gift of the gab and the governors are suitably impressed.
Later, over an after-hours drink, Jack takes the opportunity to announce that he and Davina have moved in together. With the exception of Steph, who is less than impressed, everyone is happy for them. But the party mood is short-lived when Lorna delivers some news of her own.
