Original subtitles

Noel Bonehead McManus, will you marry me? Yeah, go on, then!

I had a daughter when I was 13. She's with his family.

I haven't seen her since I had her.

I'm so sorry if I've made you feel uncomfortable.

I know that you are a married man.

We're not doing a very good job at giving each other space today.

Do you know, I'm surprised Drake's letting you test out

your side hustle on all the guests.

The ones with the green icing are the non-dairy vegan.

Those cakes were labelled very clearly.

It's the ten-second rule, isn't it?

"Vegan and dairy-free." Can I have one of these?

You can have whatever you like.

Whatever's happened between you dropping them off

and Hope eating one is anyone's guess.

Time of death 14:02.

I think about that bottle of whisky every day.

There are other meetings. It's good to have an ally.

How weird do you think it was to find my exact favourite drink

left on my desk?

Stella has asked me to apply for the deputy headship.

I just might, if only to keep you out.

It's just like old times, Mr Rimmer back at the top,

taking no messing from no-one.

Hey, behave! Do you know what I've really missed?

Bossing people around.

You'll be all right to hold the fort, won't you, Mr Charles?

I've got a very busy day ahead of me.

You know, I'm starting to remember why I never liked you, sir!

Go on.

Oh, I don't see why they make us come in on the last day of term.

If we finished yesterday, then I guess that would've been

the last day of term.

ASHTON LAUGHS

You think about things way too much, Dwayne.

Anyway, I'll see you in maths later.

Start overthinking which rides we're going to go on at the fair, yeah?

I am glad to see the back end of this term.

You back next term, though, yeah?

Yeah. You're not getting rid of me that easily, mate.

Don't tell anyone but you might be rid of me.

My mum got a new job last week,

so don't think I'm going to be here next year.

Wait, what's Ashton said? I haven't told him, or Tonya.

I just need a fresh start and to be with my family.

It's just going to be hard to leave all my mates.

You've got to tell them eventually and they'll understand.

Sorry, what is it...?

This is breakfast club, not litter club.

What is that? Come on, get it shifted.

Nice one, Mr Casey, a classic teacher line.

Have you got a minute?

I was hoping we could have a chat about exam access...

..arrangements. Maybe we could go somewhere private.

I'm sorry. I mean, I can't leave this lot

but we can, you know, we can talk here.

All right.

Well...

..I was thinking we could do more for the kids. Mm.

You know, anxiety is paralysing at the best of times,

but in an exam situation, it's...

Good idea. I'm not quite sure why you felt we needed

to have this conversation in private.

Look, I'm more than happy to do this in public.

I just thought you would appreciate the privacy.

Right.

Eugh, what are you doing?!

She's putting mayonnaise on a bacon butty.

You made corned-beef flavoured ice cream last week.

My sandwich, my choice.

No, no, no... Staff...

Now, you, you're staff, remember?

So, shall we calm down?

Yeah, for now, sir. For now.

I'll leave you to it.

I've got some IEPs to look over.

Could I use your classroom?

Help yourself.

Sorry...

Agh!

Sorry. Oui, oui.

FOOTSTEPS

No, no, no, no, no.

There's someone there.

VACUUM WHIRS Oh!

Hello. Yeah...

Sorry, don't mind me, just doing an inventory of textbooks.

MITCH SNIGGERS

Erm... Yeah. People say I'm a bit OCD,

but to my mind, it's just making the most of resources.

You get it, you get it?

Could you give me a minute?

Is that OK? You can leave that there.

That'll be fine. Don't worry. I'll not...use it.

Thanks.

FOREIGN ACCENT: Inventory of textbooks.

Don't. Put that back.

What are we doing? We shouldn't be doing this here.

You followed me, remember? Yeah, I know.

I shouldn't have.

I'm serious, Mitch. It's too risky.

We could meet somewhere else.

I've got tickets for this gig tonight.

And... Whoa, like what, like a date?

Oh, that's not what this is. I am not having an affair.

Fine.

I'd never make you do something that you don't want to do.

That...

I spend my afternoons picking hairs off glue sticks.

But the Trust can miraculously find the money for this.

I heard they thought it would be good for us.

You know, after all the trauma we've been through.

Hello. Morning, everyone.

I'm pleased to say that as of today,

we have a revitalised management team.

I'm sure you'd all like to give a warm welcome

to our new deputy head, Jack Rimmer.

Thank you. Morning.

So, end of term shenanigans.

We finish early for the fair.

I'm sure that you're all looking forward to having a bit of fun.

Even you, Mr Guthrie.

Plus, the Year 11s will be holding a screening with

Mr Donovan in the media studies room.

They've been working hard all term on their films

and today is the world premiere.

So if you're on a free, come along.

Sorry, Jack, it's all very well

having these extracurricular activities,

but any news on timetables for next term?

Yes, we still don't know our groups.

We don't know our SEN pupils.

Yeah, and we're still waiting on a sign off

for departmental budgets and all.

Nothing changes, huh?

I've been back in the job five minutes

and people are chasing me for budgets.

It's all in hand, I assure you.

Right, well, I'm not doing any lesson planning on the beach.

BELL RINGS OK, well, thank you.

Hey, Darius, fancy hitting the waltzers later?

It's not really my thing. Oh, you're no fun.

How about if I hold your hand? Oh, now there is an offer.

Hey, you all right?

Oh, sorry I missed your debut.

You know, I'd forgotten about the staff griping.

I suddenly feel a stone heavier.

Yeah, well, they're, just keeping you on your toes.

Oh, I just saw your car's blocking a delivery van in as well.

Do you want me to move it? I've got a free period.

Oh, ta. Yeah. See, top dog now. I've got to keep him with you.

And the old Donte is back.

There's this lad on Insta,

he's doing two Ray-Bans for a tenner

and they're not even snide.

Like you're going to need Ray-Bans in the Lake District.

Well, it's my first proper holiday, I'm wearing shades.

Come on, this time next week, we're caning it with Casey and Rutherford.

I can't wait to see those pictures, but I do need to go.

I need to get my deposit back for my locker key.

Oh, I lost mine ages ago but Casey said he'd sort it for me.

It's all right for some.

You've got him wrapped around your little finger, don't you? Mm-hm.

Hey.

Everything all right? Yeah, yeah, I just...

I thought I should do it myself.

You know, insurance and all that.

Yeah, well, I've done it now, so don't worry. Thanks.

I saw the bottles, Jack.

They're not mine. Come on!

It was a blip, all right? I've had a really stressful few weeks,

what with everything going on in there.

Plus, I've had one particular idiot getting right under my skin.

Yeah, who? Doesn't matter.

Point is, I slipped up, but I'm on top of it now.

So you've stopped? Of course.

I wouldn't risk this job for anything. I'm not stupid.

Look, I know it was a screw up.

You know, I could've lost everything again,

but I've been talking to my sponsor.

I was at a meeting last night. I'll be back there again later.

Have you told Stella this?

This job means everything to me.

I don't want to blow it.

Give me a chance to get on top of it.

Whatever you need, Jack. Thanks.

So tell me, Ben, how much happier have you been

since that selfish cow dumped you?

Oh, didn't see you there.

Are you not getting bored of this yet? Cos I am.

Mm-hm, funny how you lose friends

when you dump someone at their sister's memorial.

Do you think they'll have Win a Goldfish?

I love Win a Goldfish.

Oi, I'm going straight for the biggest ride.

You up for it, Dwayne?

Right, less talking and more doing, please.

What's up with him?

What do you mean?

DOOR OPENS

Jack...

..haven't had a chance to congratulate you.

You must've been great in your interview because

I really thought I had that in the bag.

Clearly the best man won.

And, listen, the misunderstanding with the whisky bottle...

Was it a misunderstanding?

I can see why you think it might be me that left it on your desk

but I wouldn't do that.

You know I've got my own demons.

You've got my full support in your new role

and I hope we can put any friendly rivalry behind us, yeah?

You don't fool me, Darius.

And I'm going to be watching you.

Mitch...

Mitch, listen, I didn't mean to make you feel trivial

and I certainly didn't mean to make you feel guilty.

You don't need to apologise.

What is it that you see?

I mean, come on, it's not like I'm giving

Brad Pitt sleepless nights, am I?

Brad Pitt?

Brad Pitt's practically a pensioner.

Oh, well, that makes me feel better.

And he's not the first thing

that I think of when I wake up in the morning.

The first thing I think of when I wake up in the morning is

"Oh, my God, how did I get myself into this...situation?"

Yeah. I mean, that's probably my second thought.

It's not fair on Mike.

And it is... It's not fair on you either.

No, I'll worry about what's fair on me.

OK? What are we going to do?

I don't know.

BELL RINGS

All right, Dwayney? You're very quiet today.

I'm just concentrating on the work.

If you can't make it to the fair later,

do you want to head out at lunch, see if we can sneak on a ride?

I've got loads I need to do.

Hey, do you think he's struggling again?

It's not that, he'll tell you later. Whoa, whoa, whoa! Tell me what?

Just ask Dwayne. Look, he's my best mate,

if there's something going on with him, just tell me.

I shouldn't be saying this but...

BELL RINGS

Hey...

..you want to buy me a sausage roll later

with all your locker key cash? What?

Yeah, all right, if you want.

Um...you're not laughing at any of my jokes.

I can tell from your sad faces...

..that you are not discussing

Civil War and Reconstruction, 1861 to 1877.

Focus, please.

We said we'd always be honest with each other, yeah?

What, is it something I've done? No!

Then what?!

Agnes, come on. I can tell by your face

that there's something going on. Yeah, right, fine!

AGNES EXHALES

I saw Mr Casey with Mr Swift.

OK and...?

I saw Mr Casey...

..with Mr Swift.

BELL RINGS

Stacey!

Look, I persuaded the guy at the coconut stand

to give us an early go.

What I failed to mention was I'm an absolute ninja.

Bull's-eye! What am I meant to do with that?

Well, I thought it might cheer you up.

You've been a bit down recently.

I've got exams.

A giant teddy's not going to help me with my English mock.

OK, well, if you really don't like it,

I'll just give it one of my nieces.

Or...I don't know.

Maybe you could give it to Mia.

Tell me to mind my own business. Mind your own business.

It is her birthday today, isn't it? How do you know that?

I've seen you looking at photos on social media.

Maybe it's the perfect time to reach out,

just say happy birthday or something.

Look, even if I wanted to, not that I'm saying I do...

..she's happy with his family.

I've not seen her in four years.

They won't just want me turning up now. You don't know that.

And I'm not sure what I want.

I've got exams. I'm meant to be going away with the girls soon.

I'm not just going to be pushed into this

because you've just won some giant teddy. Sorry.

You know, I don't want to put any pressure on you.

I just want you to know that I'm with you,

if this is ever what you want.

I love you for that but...

I need to think this through by myself in my own time.

OK.

Well, I'll give this to our Alana then, yeah?

No, I'll... I'll keep it.

Yeah?

For good luck for my exams.

BELL RINGS

So the differences between realist and anti-realist...

Thank you. ..narrative advertising?

Um... I tell you what, why don't you start by mind mapping

what you think are the main functions of advertising?

Get your pens out. Be creative.

I'm doing a walk through, whole school.

And you're starting with me?

I'm sure you've got nothing to hide.

All right, settle down, everyone.

Don't mind Mr Rimmer.

Maybe I'll learn something, Year 11.

Are you OK?

Yeah.

Right, Year 12.

Miss Walker is away, so you are blessed with me, I'm afraid.

You know what? I can't be arsed listening to a word

you've got to say. Sorry, Schuey, where are you...?

Just... Yeah, can you carry on the discussion?

Schuey...

Schuey, can you wait, please?

Sorry, what is with the attitude?

Like you don't know?

No, I, don't know.

Why am I not surprised?

It's like no matter what people say

or how much they promise they mean it,

they're just going to crap on you in the end.

Sorry, what are you talking about?

Come off it, Joe. Eh?

I know you're necking on with Mr Swift.

Well, you are?

Well, something is... Erm...

But it is not...

It's not for you to worry about, Schuey, OK?

OK, so I'm just meant to keep my mouth shut.

Me, you, and Mike are meant to just keep playing happy family?

Nah! Schuey... No chance! Schuey...

..I have got myself into a situation, yes.

OK? But I need you...

I need you to just keep this to yourself, OK?

Just until I'm...

If I know, other people are going to know.

It's going to be going around the whole school.

What did you think were going to happen?

Schuey, can you...?

Stupid! Mike deserves so much better.

BELL RINGS

Mr Rimmer...

What, no feedback? Yeah...

..find another school to teach at. What?

You know, I'm seeing nothing special in the classroom.

But I suppose you wouldn't let a thing like that

stand in your way, would you?

I don't know what this is.

It feels personal.

You made it personal.

RINGTONE

Hi. This is Mike. Please leave a message.

PHONE BEEPS Hi, it's me. Erm...

Is there any way you could skip the gym tonight?

It's just...

Well, we're like ships in the night at the minute

and I need to...

I need to speak to you, Mike. Erm...

Yeah, it's important.

So...bye.

Erm...I love you.

No, I guarantee it.

All right. See you later.

Sorry, Stella, have you got one minute? Never, Darius, never.

Look, I've got no problem with SLT walkthroughs at all.

A little bit of notice would have been appreciated.

Well, there's no walkthroughs planned.

Mr Rimmer, I assume he went through you.

What, Jack's doing observations?

Yeah, I didn't mean to drop him in it.

No, no, no. I'm sorry.

Yeah, you should have had some notice. Um...

Things between us are very awkward at the moment.

All right? Why?

It's not easy to say.

I thought we had a really good relationship.

He's been like a mentor to me, as you know, a friend.

Right.

I've had struggles. They're in my past.

I've dealt with them. I got the help I needed.

But I still go to group occasionally.

I saw Jack there, and he's taken against me for it.

I-I trust Jack implicitly. Right.

He's hard but he's fair.

And if he's been hard on you, then maybe you need to ask yourself why.

This is difficult.

I am really worried that some of Jack's problems

are not in the past.

If you have serious concerns about a member of my staff,

you would be able to present the evidence.

Otherwise, you might keep those thoughts to yourself.

Of course.

Thank you. Thank you.

Joe.

What?

I got your message.

You sounded worried. Is it Schuey?

No, he's... He's fine.

It's you I needed to speak to

but I meant at home later.

Well, now you're really worrying me.

Right, well, I can't do... Mike.

What's going on?

JOE EXHALES Just come in here.

Like, seriously, you're freaking me out.

What's going on? Is someone hurt? No.

It's about us and where we are in our relationship.

Us?

We're fine, aren't we?

Joe.

Mike, I'm so sorry but...

..I've been seeing someone else.

What's her name?

A mermaid. She's a mermaid.

Stace?

What you doing here?

Sorry, I just came to see how Mia was.

So you just randomly turn up after all this time?

It were a stupid idea.

You can't just suddenly turn up cos it's her birthday.

I just wanted to give her a teddy.

What, after four years, without even calling?

No, I obviously can't trust you.

And there's no way I'm letting you mess her around.

I am happy with you, right. I've always been happy with you.

Who is it?

I didn't go looking for it, OK? It just it...

It just... It just happened.. Is it someone here?

Of course it's got to be someone here, hasn't it?

You're never out the place, are you?

Who is it, Joe? It's not important. It is!

No, it's not. Tell me who! Stop!

Who is it? It's Mitch. It's Mitch.

Where is he? Oh!

What? What, are you going to hit him?

What good's that going to do?

It's not him who's done this to us, is it? It's me.

Why?

Why?!

I just... I messed up.

Oh, you messed up. Yeah.

Is that all I'm getting? Well, I don't know!

What was it - you were bored? No.

Things were too comfortable with us and Schuey?

I don't know.

Do you think I've not had my opportunities over the years?

Do you think I've not had chances?

But I would have never have acted on it because I love you.

I love you as well. Oh, don't! Don't.

Are you going to tell Schuey?

He already knows. Oh, fantastic.

I don't want it to affect him.

I don't I don't want it to affect you.

I just... I just want it to have not happened.

Well, it has happened, hasn't it, Joe? I'm... Well, I know.

Is it over?

What do you mean? You and Mitch.

Oh, I can't...

I can't even look at you.

BELL RINGS

Stella? Mm-hm? Risk assessment forms for the fair,

do you want them in your office or shall I...?

I'll take them. Thank you.

Jack...you didn't tell me that you'd seen Darius

at an out-of-school meeting.

Well, what's he said? That's a breach of confidence.

I'd like to think that you'd tell me if you were struggling.

Why, did he say I was struggling?

No, I'm just concerned about what's going on between you two.

Mrs Drake...

Sorry for the short notice.

Jack, this is Nicole Chester,

the TV producer I was telling you about. Nice to meet you.

She helped the children with their films earlier in the year

and I thought she'd like to come back and see the finished version.

I was so glad you asked.

I just wasn't sure I could get a day off, till the last minute.

No problem at all. I was desperate to be here, actually,

after all you've been through.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Yeah, thank you. Shall we...?

Shall we go on up?

Jack, you're coming, aren't you?

Oh, and I'd like you and Darius to try and draw a line

under all of this.

Darius, I brought Jack. He's keen to watch the films.

And of course, you know Nicole.

Very well.

Darius. She's moved heaven and Earth to get here.

She really wants to see these films. Wonderful.

It's the least I could do.

I was here that day. I was talking to Hope.

I know that your encouragement meant a lot to her. Thank you.

Shall we get this show on the road? Come in, everyone.

Well, have a good break, Alice.

OK?

Mitch, Schuey seen us together this morning.

What?! Yeah. Can we just... Please.

It's OK. All right?

It's OK because I'm dealing with it.

I've spoke to Mike.

You told him?

Wait, what have you told him?

Just that it was um...

It was a mistake, and it shouldn't have happened.

HE GASPS

Right, OK. Listen...

Go to Mike and tell him that it's over between us

and you'll never see me again.

I'll find a job somewhere else. What? No, you can't do that.

Look, if I don't go, this is going to happen again.

We both know that.

I don't want you to go.

But I don't want to be something that you regret.

OK.

OK.

HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS

It's not a good idea you being here, for obvious reasons.

What reasons?

So that was a video I was going to make

until a little birdie told me some major news.

I'm sorry, Dwayne. I had to.

Listen, Dwayne, mate...

I wish you could have told me you were leaving.

I get it - us lads, we don't like talking about our feelings and...

The truth is, though, you're the best mate I ever had.

Psst.

And I had share you with everybody

because it turns out you are everybody's best mate!

And I feel like Tonya might like you a lot more than she likes me.

Oh, yeah. There's no "might" about it.

STUDENTS LAUGH

But, no, seriously, I'm sorry for ruining your surprise, OK?

I just want to tell you not to worry about upsetting us, OK?

You are doing what's best for you.

But listen to this, Dwayne, OK, no matter where you go

or what you do, we will always be best mates.

STUDENTS: Aww!

I love you, brother.

ALL: Love you, Dwayne!

Well done, Ashton.

I think we'd all like to thank you, Dwayne.

You've been such a positive influence and we'll all miss you.

Thank you.

Right.

OK, I think that's a really nice point for us to end on.

You haven't put mine on.

No, but we're short on time now, so next time, OK?

No, put it on.

ALL: Put it on! Put it on!

Thanks for the worst idea ever!

What have I done?

I went to give Mia that stupid teddy and it was a complete disaster.

Right, well, what happened?

What, did you meet her? No, I saw my ex.

Yeah?

How was that?

He asked me if I was ready to be a proper parent and I freaked out.

And now he thinks I can't be trusted

and he's never going to let me see her.

He'll understand if you just say you were nervous.

There's more to it than that.

There's a reason I let him take her in the first place.

Maybe I'm just not cut out to be a mum.

Stacey...

..you're funny. Yeah?

And...kind.

And you have some serious dance moves to pass on.

I know she'll love you.

Yeah? She's just got to get to know you a bit first.

And that's it. But what if I don't stick to it?

It's kind of my family's history.

Stace, you are not your mum.

Yeah? I'll go with you.

Something happened, right?

Something well bad.

We lost someone proper sudden

and I was there...

It's so not fair.

Hope was buzzing about her future.

She's been telling us all how she was going to be a proper big star and that.

She picked up some stupid home-made cake, right,

next thing, she's...

..pegged it. It's like you can't even trust cake now.

So that's why I'm making this video - about Hope.

She was a star and we're really going to miss you.

Mike.

I came to speak to Schuey. Oh.

I can't get my head around it.

How are you throwing away everything that we've got

for some bloke you've just met?

If everything was right, I don't think it would have happened.

What wasn't right?

Oh, Mike, we don't talk like we used to, any more.

And when we do, we're arguing.

We argue over Schuey. That's what you wanted.

I never said that I didn't. Well, what do you want?

What do you want?!

I thought this happened to other couples.

Same.

I do hate myself for what this has done to you.

Hmm, I'm not your biggest fan either right now.

That's fair. I can't imagine life without you.

Same.

It's Mike and Joe.

That's how it's always been.

I need you, Joe.

Let's just go away.

Yeah? Just go on this holiday, me, you, Schuey.

We can just get away, get away from work and just...

I don't think I can.

You are a... You're a beautiful, funny, kind...

Don't. ..fantastic man and we've been together forever.

And I wouldn't change any of that, but we've been coasting.

Coasting?! Yeah.

We've fostered three children together. Yeah, I know.

You know what I'm talking about.

We wake up every single day and we know what it's going to be like.

I've loved every single day.

So, what is it then, Joe?

I just...

I don't know if I'm in love with you any more.

I'm sorry.

Right.

BELL RINGS

MUSIC: Baggy Trousers by Madness

All right, everyone, it is get back Mr Brooke time.

Nicole, I didn't want Portia's video shown

because I knew it would get to you.

The cakes that fell off the desk when we were...

Slow down!

They had something to do with Hope's death, didn't they?

They got mixed up. Maybe. OK. I don't know.

So, yes... I don't know.

I've tortured myself with this same question for weeks.

I haven't slept. I have gone over and over what happened.

We did not make the bloody cakes.

We let them get mixed up.

We let her take one.

We didn't know she had an allergy.

Even she didn't check what she was taking.

How could we have possibly known? So you're blaming her?

Of course not. I am just telling you there are a lot of factors.

We cannot blame ourselves.

Why didn't you tell people?

What good would it have done?

The inquest said it was an accident.

It would have dragged everything up again.

It would have helped nobody.

But didn't she video us?

Yeah, don't worry, I took care of that.

What do you mean?

I deleted the video from her phone.

Look, I have beaten myself up over this. I have.

The truth is, we need to just let it go.

Nicole...

I don't want anything to do with this.

Don't ever contact me again.

I knew there was something about you.

Whatever you think you heard, you got it wrong.

Tell me what you know.

No idea what you're talking about. I don't know anything.

OK, we'll see what Stella has to say about that.

Izzy...

..not coming to the fair?

I think they're planning some sort of send off for Dwayne.

Yeah, don't pretend you want me there.

What do you expect, when you pick the worst possible moment

to break Ben's heart?

I couldn't take it any more, all right?

I thought you liked him. Yeah, he's all right as a person.

Just don't like him like that. I thought I did.

You know, after what happened, it just didn't feel right.

After what happened?

Oh.

If you didn't fancy him, why didn't you just say something?

Cos I didn't want to make things worse for him.

I don't want people thinking I was weird.

You're not weird if you don't fancy someone.

You just don't fancy them and that's OK.

Come to the fair.

All right, I'll come for a bit.

Hey. Have you seen Stella?

Yeah, yeah, she's at the fair. Is everything OK.

I knew there was something dodgy about Darius. I need to tell her.

What are you talking about, Jack?

Well, maybe you just need to calm down. I don't need to calm down.

This is about Darius, about what he's covered up. I'm fine.

No, you're not.

Have you been drinking? No... Jack!

STUDENTS CHEER

Nisha, have you seen Stella? Stella?

Erm, no. No, I've not.

Has anyone seen Mrs Drake?

Jack, you've really got this wrong. Out of my way.

What? Why Hope died, Stella needs to know.

You're done. Can I just ask you one thing?

How long did it take you to open that whisky?

Is he OK?

Get off him!

Get off him! Jack!

What have you done?

Did you see that?!

Inside now!

Both of you.

Fighting like kids in a playground!

What sort of example is that?!

With respect, Stella, I didn't throw a punch.

Are you going to tell her the truth?

If I had any idea what you're on about...

Right, one of you better start talking

because I've had enough of this. Tell her.

Tell her how you know what happened to Hope

and you deleted evidence.

I've no idea what he's talking about.

Well, you, would say that. Tell her!

Jack, calm down!

I overheard him talking to the TV producer.

They were there when Hope took the cake,

and they never told anyone about it.

Darius? You've got the wrong end of the stick, Jack, all right?

Nicole was upset being back where Hope died.

I was telling her everything that had happened.

I didn't say anything like that. Liar!

Jack, please. You know what?

If none of yous believe me, I'm going to go straight to Serena.

Serena?

Stella, I promise you, I wouldn't bring up something

like this unless I had a reason to.

He's messed up and he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the kids.

This is insane. Then why would Jack be bringing this up?

I told you, he's got a problem with me. Yeah.

He's not thinking straight.

Donte?

Sorry, Jack.

I think he's been drinking. What?!

Jack?

Check his bottle. What?!

No!

Give it to me.

Stella, please...

In school.

How could you?

Well, now it all makes sense.

Jack! Please, leave it.

He knows what happened to Hope.

We all know what happened to Hope!

I can't believe that you would use that

to justify your, your drunken ramblings.

I'm right about him.

You are a mess.

And I think you need help.

Jack...

I should've called. What if they're in the middle of a party?

Well, if it's a bad time, we can always come back later, can't we?

I don't know if I can do this now. Right, Stace, I do.

Yeah?

You've got this. I promise.

Right, let's go.

See you later. We'll be back in time for her party.

She looks just like you.

You better not be messing me about. I'm not.

Hi, Mia.

Doo-doo!

I'm Stace.

Oh.

And I hear it's your fourth birthday.

Happy birthday, Mia.

It's lovely to meet you.

Ha!

Hi!

I'm sorry.

I've really screwed up.

Come on.

I had to say something.

Look, I'm going to talk to the union, yeah?

They'll be able to get you the help that you need.

You know, maybe residential rehab or something.

What good is that going to do now?

You beat it before, right?

So that means you can beat it again. You don't beat it.

You just get the upper hand for a bit.

Look...

..I think getting away from this place, it'll help.

Maybe stepping up to deputy was just too soon.

But I really wanted the job.

I really... I really wanted it to be like it used to be.

I wanted the pressure, I wanted the fight.

And then...

And then I really, really wanted a drink.

Don't let this be what you remember.

You got me on the straight and narrow for a start.

Well, if you're the best I've got...

Get yourself right, sir, yeah? Yeah.

The Darius stuff, I'm not wrong about him.

Will you look into it for me?

Just get yourself right.

SCREAMING

Hi.

Are you coming back to the fair? Um... I don't know.

I don't know anything any more.

Is this about what happened before?

I still can't believe two teachers actually had a scrap

in the playground. Nor can I.

Anyway, Mr Rimmer is no longer a teacher here.

Wow. Don't spread that round Year 11 just yet.

I'm sorry. I know that you liked him.

Yeah, well, it turns out I was wrong about him.

Hmm.

Turns out I'm wrong about a lot of things these days.

That's not true.

You don't see how much I mess up, Ben.

I put too much faith in Jack.

Oh, and I was way too hard on Wendy

when she really hasn't done anything wrong.

I've been feeling the same.

I've been messing everything up, too, since Hope.

Forcing Izzy to be in a relationship she didn't even want

because...

..I couldn't be alone.

But I'm not, am I?

Nothing is ever going to be the same again.

So...let's go to the fair.

It'll be a laugh.

If you think you're going to get me on the waltzers,

you've got another think coming.

Hmm...we'll see. I'll be there in a minute.

Ben, thank you.

Yeah.

I can't believe you were going to leave without telling me.

But if anyone says anything, just say the word and I'll be there.

And if you ever need a shoulder to cry on when Tonya sacks you off,

say the word and I'll be there.

Look, are you sure you don't want to stay for the fair?

Because the guys have got a send off plan which may

or may not include you in an inflatable sumo suit.

Look, I have to go home, all right?

I promised my mum I'd help with packing.

Don't think you're getting away that quickly.

You do know I'm only half an hour away?

Get over here!

THEY LAUGH

Oh, that... That's not your notice, is it?

Look, I said that I'd go.

I meant it.

I've, er...

I've ended it with Mike.

Don't worry, all right,

it wasn't for you and I have no expectations.

Well, I guess you need some time to get your head together.

Yeah. Well, we both do.

Right.

When you've got it together,

you know where I'll be.

In the cupboard.

Inventory of textbooks!

Wendy. Hi.

You were the last person I expected to get a message from today.

Well, I knew I owed you an apology, really.

I spent a lot of time working for an organisation

whose business was trying to find out what went wrong and why.

Finding blame.

Because it's comforting to know that someone is responsible,

but sometimes no-one is to blame.

I was the one who made you feel responsible and...

..I'm very sorry, Wendy.

Your new school is lucky to have you.

I haven't accepted yet.

Well, your...

..position here is still vacant.

In that case, I'll see you next term.

What are you doing?

Nicking Joe's bike. Schuey!

What's he going to do, after today?

Are you OK? Yeah.

Yeah, it's same old, isn't it?

The people closest to you are the ones who know

how to really let you down.

Including me? No!

No! Come here.

You...are real.

You're the only one who is.

Oi, get a room, you two!

Thought you were meant to be on that soak a teacher stall?

Ah, well, I'm really in the mood for that right now.

Yeah. Fair.

I'm really sorry, Schuey. I thought we could give you a home.

Well...

Where's your home going?

Don't know. Got to be discussed, I guess.

We could discuss it on holiday. What, without Joe?

Just us?

Your place has good Wi-Fi...

You know, big telly, fancy biscuits, smells good.

I'm not going anywhere, mate. Yeah?

I'll...see you soon. See you soon.

Careful on that bike, though!

Is that Joe's?! Yep.

We'll talk about that tomorrow, yeah?

See you later. See you! Bye.

Oh, Stella.

Are you all right? Yeah. You should see the other guy.

Hope you don't believe any of that stuff he was saying.

I should've listened to you, Darius.

I thought I could trust Jack.

So now I have to think about

who I might recommend for the role of deputy.

Enjoy your break, Darius.

You're going to have a busy time ahead.

Thank you!

Wow.

See you later. See you. Nan, you want a ride?

Don't say that!

Can I steal Miss Chandra for a ride?

Oh, no, it's really high!

Oh, there's the classroom! You're scared. I am, I'm scared.

Come here, there's nothing to be scared of.

MUSIC: I Can't Stop by The Pigeon Detectives

A new term, new era.

You, come down now!

SHE SCREAMS

THEY CHANT: Fight, fight!

Ah, you just bit me!

I thought I could trust your judgment, Darius.

I thought we were a team.

On to the vacancy problem... Erm, problems. All sorted.

Every supply you've ever seen in your life

will pale into insignificance.

I've got this covered.
