Libby, I have to ask, has Jared ever hurt you? Jared?

I'm really sorry, but you can't be here.

You said Jared had a new girlfriend, that you were worried?

He's not getting away with this again! Chanelle, no!

You put my child in danger.

No, Jared did that!

He's the one that traumatised that poor girl

and I've tried to warn you.

I went to see Billy. That murderer?

You know, she likes you as well, you know.

You're just going to mess her up or worse.

He said I hurt everybody. I don't want to hurt you.

Oi, Ton! Tonya!

Why is she in all this pain?

Why is she bleeding when she shouldn't be? Mum!

Unfortunately, all these symptoms are very normal

when it comes to periods.

Have you got any more of them strong painkillers?

These are the last of them, OK?

I thought I knew myself

I thought I knew how I felt

Now I'm thinking what the hell?

I need to find my way back home

Back home!

Nan?

Nana.

What do you want?

I came to see you.

Ah, they let any old riff-raff in here.

It's Lois, Nan.

Who?

It's Lois.

Your granddaughter.

I don't have a granddaughter.

Only a grandson.

It is you, Jake, isn't it?

I've been waiting for you to come.

Yeah.

It's me, Nan.

Mum, Mum, I can't do this today.

It hurts so bad.

I know it does, baby, it's just that today's really important.

I've got that parenting lesson, haven't I?

You know I can't miss it.

Please! Darling, I'm sorry.

Look, I just don't want to risk us getting into any more trouble, Ton.

Who knows what they'll do if I miss this class?

Mum!

This is the worst it's ever been.

Like it feels different.

I think, like, there's something seriously wrong.

Well...

Have you taken your painkillers?

What about them stick-on heat patches I got you?

Nothing's helping.

Mum, can I just go home?

All right, come here.

Look, you...

..you are the strongest person I know, OK?

And all you've got to do is get through today.

And then if you're still this bad tomorrow,

I'll let you stay at home, OK?

I promise.

OK.

I'm going to the canteen. Who's coming?

Ton?

I'm just going to sit here for a bit.

Got period pains again, have you?

It's a bit more than that.

Just getting a bit boring now, isn't it?

You're always ill. Portia.

Just saying.

It's boring for you?

Yeah, try being me, Portia.

Thought the doctors were helping.

No, they just keep fobbing me off.

Just keep pushing, yeah?

Mm.

Look.

These are the last ones.

Any more and my nan will notice.

Thank you.

Keep them safe.

Make them last.

Oi, oi!

What's going on here, then? Nothing.

It didn't look like nothing from over there.

You're like jelly round her.

Shut up, man, you're like jelly.

Hey, don't you be getting embarrassed, right?

I love a bit of love, me.

We're not... We're not in love.

Oh, right, yeah, me think the lady doth protest too much?

What?

Look, if you ever need any advice, right,

on how to keep her sweet, you know where I am, yeah?

Look, I am, er, somewhat of a guru

when it comes to matters of the heart.

Keep her sweet?

BELL RINGS

We wanted to reassure you

that, despite Miss Spratt's absence,

er, you still have Mrs Drake and myself

supporting the advanced learning programme

so there'll be no impact to you at all.

We're very much on track for your presentations

this afternoon.

Excuse me.

Do you think it's appropriate to enter a classroom late

without an apology? Sorry.

Shall we try that again?

I'm sorry I'm late.

Thank you.

Now take your seat.

So this is your last chance to polish up your presentations.

If you need any help, just ask me or Mrs Drake.

If you haven't already done so,

I need everybody to tie the hair back, please.

There you go.

You need to tie your hair back.

What?

Tonya, hair back now, please.

There's a rubber band.

There you go, use this.

You don't want your hair to be as wrecked as your face.

Portia. I'm joking.

OK, I think we're ready to start.

So once you've made sure that

your Bunsen burner air hole is closed to minimise the flame,

then you can light it, OK?

Off you go.

Right, you check the Bunsen burner and I'll light the splint.

Ready?

Oh.

Miss, our Bunsen burner isn't working.

Have you checked your gas tap's on properly?

Mm-hm.

Give it here. Right.

SHE SCREAMS

This is mad.

Stop filming.

It's out, it's out!

It's out, miss, it's out.

Don't you dare!

Are you OK, miss?

Yeah, yeah, I'm all right.

You should have tied your hair back, miss.

You said it wasn't working.

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Tonya.

Tonya!

Mrs Drake's office now!

Well, this is a curriculum map... Excuse me.

..er, of the subjects that Tonya's studying.

And I've also got copies of the text that she's doing for her exams.

It's just so that you can familiarise yourself with them.

Frankenstein.

What we found is that when parents and guardians have good knowledge

of the curriculum, it just helps keep students engaged.

Joe,

me reading Frankenstein is not going to make

Tonya more engaged at school.

We know why she's struggling - she's ill.

Of course, of course,

but if there are some subjects

that she's struggling with more than others,

well, she may be more inclined to miss those.

She can't pick and choose when she's in pain!

I made her come in today when she didn't want to.

She should be congratulated for making any lessons right now,

not punished because she needs time off.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Uh... Sorry to interrupt.

I need to speak to Nicky.

It's urgent.

BELL RINGS

What's this?

Er, it's a present.

You got me a packet of sweets as a present?

Well, I see you eating them all the time, so I thought...

Er, well, obviously that's a small present.

You know, that's not a proper present.

That's a...

That's a pre-present...

..present.

Right.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Phone hasn't stopped.

Not got a secret boyfriend you haven't told us about, have you?

I wish it was that.

It's my mum.

My mum only used to text that much when she wanted something.

It's, er, it's about my nan.

She's in a proper bad way.

Mum wants me to go and be with her, but I, er...

I saw her this morning and

she couldn't remember who I was...

..who I am now.

That's proper sad.

Yeah, but you've got to do what's best for you, babe.

And if that's not seeing her, then don't.

Girls, can we keep it quiet and focus, please?

Your hair looks really nice today, miss.

Thanks. I'm trying a new shampoo.

Better than Miss Chandra's.

Have you seen that video? What video?

Your mum's hair's wrecked. Mm.

Oh, this is mad!

Singed.

Stop filming!

Are you sure you don't want to go and get checked out at the hospital?

No, it's a hairdresser that I need, not a doctor.

Tonya, what's happened? Are you OK?

There's been a serious incident.

A science experiment went wrong, and Tonya ran away from the class.

It was an accident.

Oh, no, it wasn't.

Excuse me!

If Tonya said it was an accident, then it was an accident.

I came this close to being really hurt.

You could have been hurt.

You weren't listening, Tonya.

And it's not for the first time.

She has been on another planet all week.

I hate to say this right,

but I think that she's smoking cannabis.

You what?! What makes you say that, Miss Chandra?

Because she's just been coming into my lessons and falling asleep,

and she's totally spaced out.

I haven't, I swear.

Who do you think you are saying things like that about my Tonya?

Well, she's your daughter.

You must have noticed that something's not right with her.

Obviously, I've noticed something isn't right with her.

She's in constant pain, and no-one will help her.

And if there was an accident in the science lab,

there's only one person to blame and that's the teacher in charge.

Nicky, come on. And if the kids weren't listening,

why on earth would you go through with the experiment, eh?

Where was that on your risk assessment?

You are not blaming your bad parenting on me.

Ah, said the woman who shared a bloke with her own daughter.

Do you think shouting like fishwives

is a suitable way to behave in front of a student?

Miss Chandra, you've had a horrible shock.

I want you to take the rest of the day off timetable

and make a start on your incident report.

Wendy will give you all the help that you need.

I'm afraid we can't ignore this accusation, Nicky.

Given Tonya's behaviour, clearly something's not right here.

Obviously. I've been saying that all along.

She's sick and no-one is helping me.

What about Miss Chandra's observations?

Is there a possibility?

Oh, you can't be serious, come on!

Well, Nicky, I have to say, her pupils, they don't look normal.

Right, well, they could be like that for any reason!

Look, if you think Tonya's taking drugs, then go ahead and search her.

But I'm telling you now you're going to look stupid.

Mr Casey, can you organise a search of Tonya's bag and locker, please?

I'll get Mike to lead.

What? Police?

He's the school's liaison officer.

All right, fine. We've nothing to hide.

BELL RINGS

MISS CHANDRA SCREAMS

That's sick.

Right, it's not funny, OK?

Miss Chandra could have been killed.

It was quite bad.

And it could have been any of us who got hurt.

I've got to see a man about a dog.

You're treating me like I'm a criminal.

It's protocol. Is heavy handed.

If you've done nothing wrong, then you've got nothing to worry about.

OK, come on, come on, come on, come on.

You're always targeting me.

Er, that's not true, Tonya.

We won't be doing our jobs if we didn't follow up

on an accusation like this.

Come on, come on.

Miss Chandra only said it cos she hates me.

Er, Tonya!

So are you going to search every other kid's locker

because they upset a teacher?

If we need to, yes.

Right, well, I hope you're going to apologise to Tonya

when you're proven wrong.

Which one is it?

It's just that one.

What's the code?

4-7-3-9.

Getting a bit of independent study in, I see.

That is the key to good grades.

My schoolwork is important to me.

Yeah, good, of course.

Probably difficult to concentrate

what with all that, um, stuff with Miss Spratt.

It was pretty stressful.

I mean, I knew she never liked me, but to go that far?

I suppose she was just looking out for Libby. Yeah, yeah, right.

And got the wrong end of the stick?

She wasn't to know my ex isn't right in the head.

I thought I managed to get away from all of that,

coming here, you know?

I just hope people don't think differently of me now.

Oh, no, no, no, no, I'm sure they don't.

Libby hasn't been replying to our messages lately.

I don't suppose you... Didn't she tell you?

She broke her phone.

She put a sim in my old one,

but maybe it's playing up.

No. No, she didn't tell us.

But that makes perfect sense now.

Right, well, I'll leave you to it.

Oh, um, if you do see Libby before me,

could you tell her that Cat has organised an old-school

Guthrie family quiz for tonight,

and we're excited to have her there.

Oh, here he is, eh? Casanova.

A little birdie told me you gave, er, Agnes a gift earlier today.

Stace, you been shouting your mouth off again?

Calm yourself, little boy.

You did it in the middle of lesson.

Go on, what did you get for her?

Was it the key to your heart?

Some sweets.

Sweets?

Who are you? Willy Wonka?

What would you have done?

Right, well, you've come to the right person for advice.

Do you know what her love language is?

Er...

What's a love language?

OK.

OK, that's way, way too advanced.

Right, you see, the thing is, man,

I've never dated a Christian girl before.

Er, Noel,

you've never dated anyone before me.

OK, fairs, you see the thing with Christian people, yeah,

they say they don't believe in sex before marriage, but... Wait.

You think she wants sex?

Proves you like her, don't it?

If she does, you're going to have to put a ring on it.

A ring. Yeah.

To show you're committed, that you actually like her,

you're not going to just mess her around.

Yeah.

And, er, what better way to show commitment than to get married?

Yeah?

You should be getting some if you do.

Yeah.

I thought we were meeting in the library.

Your, er, Dad was in there.

Yeah?

He was quizzing me about Spratt.

When were you going to tell me about this family quiz thing tonight?

Oh, that. It's not a big deal.

It's just something we used to do.

Cat's been messaging about it, but I haven't said yes yet.

I'm not invited.

Don't you want to spend time with me?

Of course I do. Do you know how it feels to

have your girlfriend's family made to hate you?

They don't!

You're such a bad liar, Libby.

I can't believe you're doing this to me. I'm not.

It would just be a good thing if I go to the quiz tonight.

How would you figure that?

Because my dad's obviously on one, and...

..and me going there will stop him from asking any more questions.

If you don't want to be with me, Libby, just say it.

Stop blaming it on your dad. That's not...

Of course I want to be with you.

It's just...

Just what?

I want to see my family, too.

Have I ever stopped you from seeing your family?

I didn't get to spend my birthday with them.

That wasn't my fault.

I can't believe you'd say something like that to me.

Jared!

Jared, wait.

I've given you everything.

It's just not enough, is it? It is.

Drama follows you around.

Everyone thinks you're a total nightmare

and yet I'm still here constantly trying to clear up your mess.

Jared. I'm the only one stupid enough to put up with you

and this is the way you treat me.

You don't appreciate me.

I love you so much. Ah!

You make me feel like I'm nothing.

Jared, you're hurting me.

I'm sorry, Lib, I...

You know I'd never hurt you on purpose.

You know that, right?

Yeah.

I'm so sorry.

I'm just, I'm just sick of people

always making out like I don't love you.

Well, I think you owe Tonya an apology.

I'm just as pleased as you are that nothing was found

but an accusation was made and we had to follow it up.

And there's still the issue of Tonya's behaviour to deal with.

Well, she's already told you that was an accident, so...

I'm not just talking about today.

You know how poor her attendance record is.

Excuse me?!

My daughter's got a chronic illness, which,

by the way, no-one seems to want to support us with.

I'm aware that Tonya is going through something difficult,

and we're doing what we can for her.

But until she gets a formal diagnosis...

Which could take years and, in the meantime, Tonya loses out.

I know my work is rubbish

and I'm barely here,

but I'm not doing it on purpose.

I feel ill all the time,

and if I'm lucky enough to have a day where

I'm not in absolute agony,

I'm exhausted

and my head is always fuzzy.

I'm sorry, Tonya, but that doesn't preclude you from facing

consequences when you've done something wrong.

You will not be able to participate in a science experiment

for two weeks and you'll be on report for the foreseeable.

Right, right, OK.

Well, thanks for being so understanding. Come on, Tonya.

All right.

What was that look about between you and Ashton earlier?

What? No, don't play dumb with me, Tonya.

I saw him nod at you just before the drug search.

Oh. Look, I know things are tough at the moment, baby,

but if you are not honest with me, then I can't help you, can I? Eh?

Ton!

Please, just don't be angry.

All right, go on.

He, um...

He's...

..been giving me some of his nan's painkillers

to try and help me and that.

He's what?!

You said you wouldn't get angry.

I'm not angry, I'm scared.

Do you have any idea how dangerous it is

taking drugs that are not yours?

Nothing else is working.

Then we'll go back to the doctor's

and ask them to give you something stronger,

but you have got to promise me that you will stop taking

what he has given to you.

I mean it, Tonya, I am not having you taking this risk.

Ashton, he won't get in trouble will he?

Well, what he's been doing,

it's dangerous.

He only did it because I asked him to.

Mum, please don't say anything.

All right.

You stop taking them right now...

..and I won't say anything.

OK?

All right, come here.

Right, so we're going to be watching the first ten minutes of this

and I want you to write down

any new Spanish words or phrases that you perhaps don't understand

and then we're going to see if we can translate them together.

You can't watch the film and me at the same time.

What's your love language.

Love language?

Where did you hear that?

I don't know, er, around.

I'm not sure.

Why?

Well, um,

say, if I wanted to

show you, um,

you know, like, uh...

Schuey, Can we hold the chatter, please?

I don't think I do know.

Ah.

Um, right.

What I got you, that weren't, like...

..right.

And, uh, if you know what's right,

then, er, you know,

if I could know and you don't tell me,

then I know.

OK, so you mean,

how can you show me that you like me?

Yeah.

Uh, well...

..I guess I like...

..loyalty...

..affection...

..physical touch.

Er, Agnes, Schuey, can you stop

whispering sweet nothings to each other and just, yeah,

concentrate, please.

Look, this better be important.

I've had to tell Miss Sharma I felt sick

just so I could get out of lesson.

I need the pills.

Oh...

Thanks for hiding them and everything,

but...I need them back.

I don't think that's a good idea.

What? Why?

Well, they've got my nan's name all over them.

I don't want the coppers to be on my back.

Besides...

..I'm worried about you.

You don't need to be.

You don't look well.

I think you're taking too many.

I don't look well

because I am losing my mind with this pain!

I can't. I'm sorry.

Oh! Right, fine.

I'll find a dealer easy enough.

Tonya!

What happened earlier,

I hate myself for it.

It's OK.

The fact that you made me so angry that I could do something like that.

You didn't mean it.

I was just so hurt...

..knowing that your family don't like me,

that they don't think I'm good enough. That's not true.

And you don't defend me to him.

I do, I really do.

I want this to work so badly, but

I'm just not sure it can.

What? Of course it can.

I don't know if it's too late.

It's not too late.

Just tell me what you need me to do, and I'll do it.

Anything.

Jared, I can't lose you.

I think you should stop spending so much time with your family.

The only reason we're arguing is because of them

getting in between us.

They got in your head.

It would be fine if it wasn't for them.

You're 18 now.

You don't need to do what your dad tells you any more.

You're right.

I'll tell them tonight.

Why wait till then?

I've been working on a surprise for you.

I wasn't going to tell you yet, but

I've sorted us there's a place.

What? Somewhere just for us.

The caravan in my dad's garden?

Move in together?

It'll be amazing.

We'll be able to be together all the time,

do everything together.

Please say yes, Lib.

It's all I want.

To be with you.

I'd love that.

Surgery is still being carried out without anaesthetic.

Can you imagine?

Just the thought of it makes me shudder.

Oh, Mrs Drake, what can I do for you?

I need to borrow Lois Taylor-Brown, please.

Yes, of course.

Bring your stuff.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Right, where were we? Let's go.

Am I in trouble?

No.

your mum called.

You've got permission to take the rest of the afternoon off

to be with your nan.

Your mum's stuck at work, so she needs you to go.

I don't want to. What?

I don't want to go.

I'm not sure you understand the urgency, Lois. I do.

I know she's dying, miss. I'm not stupid.

Then why? Because I don't like seeing the person I love

most in this world like that.

I know. I know, it's hard.

I went to see her this morning.

She doesn't even know who I am any more.

Sadly, that's often the case with dementia.

I understand. You don't understand anything.

It's not just about her mistaking me for somebody else.

To her, I'm not Lois.

I'm not her granddaughter.

She dead-named me.

When she was well, she was the only person in my whole family

who never did it.

Not once, not even by accident.

She just got it, you know?

My mother had dementia.

It's a very cruel disease that steals the things that make us us.

I don't want this to be my final memory of her.

You control how you choose to remember someone.

It's your choice whether you go,

I can't force you to,

but I think you'll regret not saying goodbye.

Well, it just...it just hurts.

That's the price of love.

Chilli's ready to go.

I mean, what kind of a mother doesn't realise

that her own daughter is doping herself up on drugs?

She must have been desperate.

The doctors made her feel like she'd run out of options.

So what is Ashton then? A dealer?

What, he's just handing out drugs to anyone who asks for them?

He can't get away with it.

Right, well, you told Tonya you weren't going to say anything, so...

He could have killed her.

Come off it, Nick. No!

I'm going to tell Mike.

What, you're going to grass in a teenager for helping a mate out?

Really? Well, I might have known you wouldn't understand.

You were supplying your own daughter with drugs, weren't you?

Nasty. Sorry.

I'm just trying to stop you from doing something

that you can't take back.

Yes, Ashton's made a mistake, but he's a kid.

You grass on him to Mike, he could get expelled,

he could get put away. You want to ruin his life?

Really? Do you think that's fair?

None of this is fair.

No, I know, but what's done is done.

Look, channel some of this energy

into getting Tonya better

and leave Ashton out of it.

Right, OK, well, then I won't tell Mike,

but this is not the end of it.

Margaret, chilli!

BELL RINGS

Jared not with you?

You're usually joined at the hip.

Do you think we spend too much time together?

Probably.

But I get it, you're in love and whatever.

Dad does.

Dad would be happy if neither of us dated until we were in our 20s.

Ignore him.

Did you rob a grave or something?

Just wanted to get my girlfriend a gift.

They're beautiful.

Just like you.

Hey, see that there, Schuey?

That is how you do it, son.

Give us one of your rings.

Are you serious?

Yes, just give us one of your rings, will you?

Give him a ring.

Mog.

Are you OK?

This pain is doing my head in.

I bet it is.

I'm sorry.

Can I ask you for a favour?

Sure, anything.

Um...

You know, um, the dealers you used to work with?

Can I get a number?

I don't think that's a good idea.

I just need some proper painkillers,

and the doctor won't give me any.

If I have something stronger, I'll be fine.

Yeah, but these guys don't shift painkillers.

It's fine, it's OK, I'll take anything.

I'm sorry, Tonya, but I can't help you.

You really need to go back to the doctor's.

Fine.

I thought you were my friend,

but obviously not!

Filthy. There's nothing on me.

What?

Agnes?

I've got something for you.

Is it a packet of Polos?

Werther's Original?

Agnes...

SURPRISED GASPS

..will you...? Schuey...

..what are you doing? What does it look like I'm doing?

Agnes, will you...

Please, don't do this.

Sorry, is Schuey Weever proposing?

I thought this is what you wanted.

Why?

We've only just got together.

It's way too soon for anything like this!

You set me up.

No, I didn't! You set me up!

No, Schuey, calm down!

Leave him alone before we embarrass you for the second time.

Smash your face in!

I didn't do anything.

What was all that about?

I mean, you've been really trying recently.

Look, we're just trying to help.

You can talk to us.

He made me look like an idiot.

Well, that's no excuse for you to go for him like that, though.

What did Noel do?

Nothing.

Well, he must have done something.

Oh, yeah.

He told me to do it.

Propose?

Yeah.

I take it Agnes is your first girlfriend?

No!

No, shut up!

Oh, Schuey, come on.

It's OK to admit that you don't know stuff.

Oh!

I have really messed up, haven't I?

No, no.

No, not necessarily.

I mean, have you asked Agnes what she wants?

Kind of.

See, that's where you're going wrong.

How are you going to know what she wants if you don't talk to her?

Communication and honesty are key elements to a good relationship.

Right? So you need to talk to her properly

and just...just tell her how you feel.

Cheers.

Huh. Yeah, can I go?

Yeah.

Just, just, just Noel, went to Noel

for relationship advice. Noel.

Bless him.

I know.

Poor lad's never had a healthy relationship in his life, has he?

Yeah, not like he can go to his dad for advice.

It felt like he listened to us, though.

It did, didn't it?

Missed it, you know.

You know, offering guidance, support.

Parenting, you mean?

Mm.

Hon...

Mm?

Do you think we're ready to foster again?

We could really help someone like Schuey.

Yeah, we really could.

Have you spoken to Ashton lately?

Er, not really, why?

Look, if there's something going on, Nick...

He's been giving Tonya his nan's painkillers.

Sorry, what? Yeah.

Tonya begged me not to say anything, but I think you should know.

Well, have you told anyone else?

Just Debs.

What if something had happened to Tonya?

You need to do something about it.

You know, you say that like it's easy. You're his dad.

Yeah, I'm his biological father,

but we hardly even know each other.

How am I supposed to parent him

when I can barely get him to talk to me?

You'll find a way.

DISTORTED: So, if we're going to find 27% of 80...

..to find out what...

Come on, this is easy - 80 divided by 10.

Tonya!

I'm sorry, Donte, I, um...

I need to leave.

I'll take it as a compliment you got me mixed up with Mr Charles.

HE CLEARS THROAT

Uh, if you don't want to talk to me,

I get it.

But I need to explain.

I really wanted to do things right with you,

but...

..obviously I got confused on what you want and that.

OK.

When you said you like...

..physical touch,

um...

..I thought you meant sex.

And because you're Christian, we'd have to get married first.

So... You tried to propose because you thought I wanted to have sex?

No!

OK, kind of, a little bit.

Stace and Noel said I need to prove my commitment.

You've been asking Noel for advice?!

I know, I know. I...

I messed up.

But...

..I really like you.

I really like you.

I like you, too.

You do?

Yes.

Despite all this.

Where's my nan?

I'm so sorry, love. She went peacefully.

But I was here this morning.

She wanted you to have these.

She's been gone way too long.

Sir, can we be excused to go look for Tonya?

It's just we're really worried about her.

Is there something I should know?

We'll be back as soon as we find her.

Please?

OK.

Tonya?

Tonya?

Just open it.

Oh, my God!

Tonya! Tonya!

You look after her and I'll get Mr Todd.

You're going to be all right, Tonya. I promise.

So...

..what have I done now?

Er, I have a proposal for you.

Sir!

Oh, er, an offer, sorry.

An offer.

Um...

I know things have been difficult, right?

And I know that the care home isn't an ideal place for you to live.

So how would you feel about coming to live with me and Mr Rutherford?

Fostered, I mean.

Right? I've spoken to social services.

They are open to the idea.

We could try it for a few weeks and, you know, just...

Oh, yeah.

Funny, sir.

Oh, no, I'm serious.

I would seriously rather eat glass.

Yeah.

DOOR OPENS

CHATTERING

Tonya, help's on its way.

Try not to panic.

I've called an ambulance and I've sent someone to find your mum.

Tonya! I'm coming.

It really hurts.

I'm here, darling, I'm here.

I'm here now.

I'm here.

Right, listen to me.

Listen to me.

Have you taken any more of them tablets?

Please don't be angry with me.

I'm sorry.

Oh, right, come on, everyone, stop dragging your feet.

Everyone heading to the presentations go to the hall.

Everyone else, go to lessons.

Come on, girls, let's go.

Come on, that's it.

Oi, you! If anything's happened to her, it's all your fault.

What?

Drug dealing.

Pathetic.

Come on, clear this corridor now.

Just get to your classes. Joe, is Tonya all right?

I'm not sure yet.

What's happened?

Tonya's collapsed.

They reckon it's a drugs overdose.

WHISPERING: Ashton.

Ashton, get in here now!

Get in!

What the hell were you thinking?

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

Don't lie to me, Ashton.

I know you've been supplying Tonya painkillers.

I just can't believe you'd do something so stupid!

How does everyone even know about that?

You know, this...that is serious, man.

If Tonya's hurt... I tried to stop.

I swear, I told her.

Today I wasn't going to give her any more.

And she said she'd get it from somewhere else.

I'm screwed, aren't I?

No.

No, of course you're not.

Look, Tonya's going to be fine.

You reckon? Yeah.

Yeah, she's, er...

She's made out of strong stuff.

Just like her mum.

What if they go to Miss Drake?

Or the police?

Hey,

listen...

Whatever happens, I've got your back, OK?

So has Nicky been informed? Yeah.

Her and Tonya are on their way to the hospital now.

Are you OK, Lois?

I'll leave you to it. Yeah. And keep me updated, please.

She's gone.

Oh, I'm sorry, Lois.

I never got to, er...

I never got to tell her what she meant to me.

Or how important it was to have her backing me.

I'm sure that she knew. Did she?

Or did she forget that, the way she forgot who I truly was?

She left a box of her things for me and...

..this was in it. And have you opened it?

What if she never saw me as Lois at all

and she was just pretending?

What if the dementia didn't make her forget,

it just brought her true self out?

What if this confirms that?

I didn't know your nan but, from what you've said,

she was an amazing woman who stood firm in her support for you,

regardless of what anyone else thought.

Whatever that says, you were in her thoughts

right until the very end.

I've got to head back to the presentations.

Hope to see you in there.

Oh, Nicky's messaged. Tonya stabilised.

Oh, good. Yeah. We do need to have a refresher

of our drugs policy.

I just had an interesting call from our social worker.

Ah. Schuey, really? Without asking me first?

Well, you did say that you wanted to foster again.

And that we might be able to help someone like Schuey...

Like Schuey. Not actual Schuey!

You know, are we forgetting he nearly cost me my job?

He bullied a kid so bad, he took someone else's life.

Joe, I love that you care. I do.

But this is a huge decision, life-changing.

Takes a lot more than one conversation.

I know. I know, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I just...just - I don't know - got the wrong end of the stick

and got carried away. Hmm, do you think?

Just...just a little bit. Yeah.

Anyway, it doesn't matter now cos, er, he said no.

He said no? Yeah.

Well, probably for the best.

Yeah, probably.

BELL RINGS

What's up with you, face-ache?

Mr Casey asked Schuey if he would consider being fostered

by him and Mr Rutherford.

Really?

Obviously, I said no.

What's that face for?

It might not be that bad.

Seriously?

I'd be living with a teacher and a copper.

Better than living in that home, though, right?

You know, you don't always have to fight against everything.

You might even enjoy it.

My foster mum just got me a whole new wardrobe

and you definitely need one.

Er, we're aware that the presentations have gone on

a little beyond the school day,

so thank you all for being a fantastic audience.

Our final presentation of the afternoon is by

Lois Taylor-Brown, which is entitled Why Lois Lane Is My Superwoman.

When I was a kid, I used to love science fiction.

It was something me and my nan did together.

We'd read comics, watch films, and then act them out.

It was an opportunity to see worlds

and people you never usually get to see -

people who are more often than not outsiders.

They were bitten by a spider, they'd come from a different planet,

and they had to hide their true identity.

And though I didn't have the words for it at the time,

I was doing the same thing.

I was an outsider, hiding my true identity.

But it wasn't really science fiction that made me

realise I could embrace that -

it was my nan.

She saw me as I saw myself

and always taught me how to be brave.

She encouraged me to be whatever I wanted to be,

even when nobody else would.

She was fierce, and bold, and wore these amazing earrings...

RIPPLE OF LAUGHTER

And, er... And today we lost her.

The world's a bit darker and less tolerant without her in it.

Lois Lane may have inspired me to be a smart, strong-willed woman...

..but the real superwoman was my nan,

Lesley Taylor.

Well done. Well done.

OK?

How did it go? Really well.

Toxicology will confirm

but we're confident it wasn't an overdose.

So what was it? What did you find?

Tonya had an ovarian cyst which burst.

We managed to get it all,

but, unfortunately, also had to remove the ovary due to the damage.

What?! I know it sounds frightening,

but there won't be any long-term impact for Tonya.

We also found what looked like patches of endometriosis.

We removed it and sent it off for testing.

You found endometriosis?

We're pretty sure the pathology will confirm that, yes.

I'll leave Tonya to sleep off the anaesthetic.

I'll come back tomorrow to explain everything fully.

OK. Thanks, doctor. Ta.

Hey. Hey, this is good.

This just confirms everything she's been saying this whole time.

Yeah, but this isn't going to go away, is it?

This is something she's going to have to learn to live with for life.

All that pain and exhaustion,

and all the damage it does.

Well, I only know one person that's more fierce than you

and it's our Tonya.

So if anyone can manage this, it's her.

And we'll all help.

You're not going through this on your own. Come here.

SHE SOBS

I'm so sorry to hear about your nan, Lolo.

I know she meant a lot to you.

She sounded well cool.

Yeah, she was.

Give me a sec.

You OK, miss? Hey.

What you did today was...was very difficult.

I wanted everyone to know how amazing she was.

Yeah, she certainly was.

Both you and your nan are role models.

I could only wish to be as brave as you.

I reckon you are.

No, I haven't been.

But I'm going to take a leaf out of your book.

Thanks, miss.

Hey, hey.

Hello, sleepy head.

Hey.

What's going on?

It's all right, baby. I'm here. You're in hospital.

I took too many painkillers.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

Listen, you have got nothing to be sorry for.

You've had to have an operation.

They found endometriosis.

So, it...it wasn't the painkillers?

No.

And...and I was right?

I knew...

I knew I wasn't making it up.

I always believed you.

But if they'd listened...

I know.

I know, baby.

But we, erm... We can fight it.

Now. Now we know what it is.

Well...

..it's never going to go away, baby,

but I promise you, I'm going to help you manage it, OK?

I love you so much.

I love you, too.

Get some sleep, baby.

Get some sleep now. Mum's here.

Where are your flowers? Did you see them?

Bigger than a bride's bouquet. Jared's got them.

Oh, did you not want to take them home with you?

I just need to speak to Dad for a sec.

Come on, Cat, let's give your dad and sister a minute.

Has something happened?

I can't come tonight. Oh, Libby, it's just one night.

Jared's... Maybe you're spending too much time with Jared.

He's my boyfriend.

I just think that it would be good if you had some time to yourself.

So come home with us tonight.

And, moving ahead, maybe just stay there at weekends.

No. Sorry?

I'm not going to let you get in between me and Jared.

I'm going to stay at his.

So what is the plan, Libby?

What, you're just going to sleep in his bedroom with him for ever?

No. He's done up a caravan in his garden for us.

A cara...?! You wouldn't even go caravanning when you were little.

Well, it's what I want.

You... You're a child. You don't know what you want.

I'm 18! I love Jared, he loves me,

we want to be together. Is that not enough?

No! No, it's not.

Because relationships are complicated.

Says the man with one divorce behind him already.

So, I know what I'm talking about.

I just want the best for you. So does Jared.

Yeah, well, I'm not sure that's true.

Maybe Amy wasn't entirely wrong about him.

I can't believe you'd say that!

We've been through this. Jared would never do anything to hurt me.

He loves me. So do I. That's why I'm worried.

You've been looking for any excuse to get in between us.

You're jealous.

Jared cares more about me than anyone ever has

and you can't stand it.

Libby! You need to get it in your head

that me and Jared have got a future together and you're not part of it.

Shall I whip us up my spag bol tonight?

Ooh, er...

It's a bit of a takeaway kind of night.

Oh, yeah, eat your feelings?

Oi.

Mm? It's not like you to stay in school late voluntarily.

HE CHUCKLES

Erm...

..if the offer is still on the table and all that,

erm, may as well move in with you two, innit?

So, yeah...

..let me know about that.

Looks like we're fostering Schuey, then.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's definitely a takeaway kind of night. Yeah, yeah.
