I'm sorry, I don't know BSL. Cute.

I need real communication.

I need connection.

You used to tell us that I need to be a better person,

but when I actually try...

What's that? Why, you want some?

I might do.

Wait. What about Schuey?

I'm going to start you in central midfield. Serious?

Why is that your screensaver?

Brand-new, your size.

Where are you going? Just try it on here.

I thought you wanted to make it up to me.

WOMAN: Hello? Sneak out. Don't make a sound.

That's a pretty bracelet. Where'd you get it?

You are sick!

Tonya's never going to forgive me.

It's Tonya's dad.

He's been arrested at the football academy. SOBBING: It's OK.

Something to do with him and an underage girl.

I am broken I am seasick

I am feeling cursed

Now some would say That's more than I deserve

LAUGHTER

LAUGHTER

BOY SNIGGERS

THEY LAUGH

You do know you actually have to walk through the gates

to get marked in, right?

I shouldn't be here.

I don't think I can do this.

No-one is judging you, all right?

You should see the comments on my socials.

Well, sooner or later, Tonya, people, they stop talking.

I just don't get what happened.

What was Portia even doing?

Well, have you tried talking to her?

Hmm. She hasn't got in touch.

She just keeps leaving me unread.

Yeah, well, maybe she's finding it tough, too.

At least no-one knows it was her.

They're keeping her name out of it.

It's my dad, Donte.

And I don't understand how I'm supposed to live my whole life

knowing what he's been accused of.

Hey.

You...are the strongest person that I know.

You got through all your medical problems.

Tonya, you will find a way through this, I promise you.

And if anyone says anything, you know where I am.

Yeah?

Come on.

It would be easier if everyone knew,

but the police want us to keep it quiet.

Oh, I hate that you're having do this.

I could smash his face in.

OK, no, I won't.

I've made my statement now.

Just got to keep it to ourselves

while they figure out if they're going to charge him.

Morning. Everything OK?

Morning.

Yeah.

Are you sure?

Ever since I went to that party, you seem upset with me.

Look, we're allowed to do our own thing sometimes.

It's no big deal. Good.

Cos you know I'd never purposely do anything to hurt you.

There's nothing to worry about.

Wendy. Mr Donovan.

Ready for the staf...? I I don't understand.

How could so much money be missing?

I'll be getting the authorities involved.

This is shocking.

Right, yeah.

Yes, I would like that in writing as soon as possible, please.

Thank you.

Is everything OK? No. No, not really.

It's my pension.

I invested in a private fund

with a rather relaxed attitude to risk, it turns out.

I'm so sorry.

It's not what you need on top of all the Ben stuff.

Still, at least everyone's talking about that

and not our recent safeguarding failure with Tony.

SHE SIGHS What?

There were drugs at the party.

Do you think we still have a problem in the school?

I don't know. A lot of the kids there weren't from here.

That is a dilemma.

I'll figure it out.

Right, let's get back to business.

This budget surplus for the inclusion unit students.

I know we've had to cancel these meetings,

but I've spoken to Mitch, and I'm going to fund his SEN scheme.

Staff training for vulnerable students.

Yeah, that was interesting, but... But nothing. It's my decision.

This thing with Portia should never have happened,

and now we've got to deal with the fallout.

Serena Michelle and I are meeting Mitch's contact this afternoon.

Somebody's coming in today?

Yes, I'm going to sign the contract, transfer the funds,

and get it done today.

Look, do you not think we just need to...

No, we need to take action.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Staff briefing.

Oh, right, yes. OK, right. OK, let's go.

Woohoo!

Shola, this is just...

You ate. You left no crumbs.

THEY LAUGH

It doesn't even look like you?

No, like, I mean, you do. Just...

It's OK, I get it.

You need to get that on your socials, like, yesterday.

I don't know about that. It's a bit "Pick me", isn't it?

Exactly. Your profile's all, "I stand with this person,

"or that person," or pictures of bees.

Look, you need a personal brand.

You want the big jobs?

Socials are, like, the first thing that agencies will look at,

starting with...

SHUTTER CLICK ..collabs.

BTS at school - that might work for you.

Come on, I'll do it.

Wait. Can you do mine after?

And I heard at the party, one of them was sick in Stella's shoes.

Eugh!

If any of those scrotes did that my stilettos, I'd...

Everyone. ..put it up their nose.

Everyone, can you listen, please? I've just got two things to say.

Firstly, I expect everyone to make Sergeant Rutherford welcome today.

Mike will be visiting classes to talk to vulnerable kids

about the dangers of grooming.

They may ask questions, so brace yourselves.

And please don't let any gossip spread.

It's important we protect the girl's identity.

Secondly, Serena Michelle will be visiting this afternoon.

I expect you all to be professional.

No threatening pupils with footwear, for example.

Right, that is it. Thank you.

Mike?

She hears everything. WHISPERS: Everything.

HE CHUCKLES

She has to stick the knife in, doesn't she?

You know she's given my budget away?

Clearly doesn't trust me with anything.

I need her off my back.

Then go over her head.

If your boss is interfering,

causing you problems, undermining you,

you go to their boss.

That's how it's done.

Maybe the Trust can rein her in.

Maybe they'll get rid of her,

put you in charge.

SHE CHUCKLES

Hey, how are you doing?

Fine.

Sorry. Thanks for asking.

Well, glad you're back.

Our girls, they're at risk everywhere.

Maybe this talk can teach them how to keep themselves safe.

You what?

Hmm? Why?

Why are we teaching girls how to keep themselves safe?

Why are we not teaching boys not to hurt 'em?

Well, we do.

We don't. We teach them that it's normal.

We must do, because why else have we got kids like Ben Drake

sleeping with half his year?

Jared abusing Libby.

Tony bloody Walters.

Look, you are putting it on girls to learn how to protect themselves,

when it should be boys and men that are being taught not to do it

in the first place!

Nicky, I'm sorry. Yeah. So am I.

Did you hear that?

Yeah, most of it.

I thought she was bob on.

Tonya! Ton, wait.

How are you?

How do you think?

You could have replied to my messages.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Are you OK?

All right. All right.

I just can't believe it.

I liked your old man.

Do you know the girl he was...?

Tonya.

Can you give us a minute, please?

Sure.

Hey.

So...

You know I'm not mad at you.

Why would you be?

Well...cos of your dad.

I thought you weren't supposed to be talking about that.

We don't know what happened.

There's always two sides.

Are you trying to say I'm lying?

Do you not...

Do you not think you could have gave my dad the wrong impression?

I mean, you sent him photos.

PHONE RINGS

Darius, I'm with you this afternoon, can't it wait?

Not really.

It's... It's Stella.

Right.

I'm really worried.

I think she's suffering with stress.

She looks exhausted.

And then there's the party the kids had at hers.

Party?

I understand drugs were involved.

She hasn't mentioned anything.

That's exactly what I mean.

She's not making the best decisions,

but I don't think she has since Hope died.

I... I think she needs time off.

Freddy, that's the wrong textbook.

Yeah, I know.

Shut up.

Everything OK, Mr Hollister?

Yeah. Yes, sir, all fine.

Algebraic expressions.

Sir, I...

Yes, you are doing another teacher's work in my history lesson.

Put it away, now,

or I'll confiscate it.

Sir.

Thanks a bunch.

Hey, I've been looking for you.

Everything OK?

Yeah.

Er, so Mark called from St Clement Academy's PRU,

and they want a reference.

Said that you aced the interview.

Yeah, I don't think that job's for me.

We both know you'd do a fantastic job.

Do we?

After Tony?

Oh, come on. No.

This job is protecting children -

and instead, I...

..I let one get hurt.

Under my nose.

Remember, la famille en voie de changement.

OK? Start with a vocab list, family members, descriptors.

On y va!

Hey, can we talk?

About earlier?

I don't want to keep stuff from you,

especially if it's going to make things weird between us.

But there is something that I haven't told you.

That girl, that Mr Walters...

..was Portia.

What?!

Yeah. That's why I've been so distant.

It's been a lot.

I promised her I wouldn't tell anyone,

but she wouldn't mind you knowing,

if it means that we're all right.

We are all right now?

Yes, of course.

Wow.

SCHOOL BELL RINGS

How did the maths go?

12%.

I know.

And I'm...I'm sorry for being rude.

I'm not very good at accepting help.

I hate it, actually.

Even with maths, where I know I'm screwing up.

Oh, I didn't know you were like that.

You could have learned, but you didn't want to try.

Luca, I like you, too.

I... I get it.

Maybe, when it comes to the hard stuff,

we can help each other out.

I'd like that.

I've spoken to Mike.

Your dad's been charged.

I'm so sorry, darling.

My dad. My dad.

Yeah.

Well, is he, um...?

Will he go to prison, or...?

Well, Mike said he could do.

He also said if we've got any questions,

then we should get in touch.

Do you?

Do you have any questions?

Yeah.

How could he do that?

Why would he, to anyone, to us?

I don't know. I can't...

Is that...? Is that why he came back?

Was he...? Was he just pretending?

Or, was he just using me for my friends?

No, no, I...

I don't think so.

When your dad got back in touch...

..when you were at his house, or...

Did he ever...?

What?

No.

No, no, no.

How could you even ask that?

Cos I don't know, do I?

I don't know anything any more.

But if he did, if...

If he...

You can tell me anything, and it will all be OK, I promise.

What?

Like you promised I could trust him?

It's never going to be OK ever again, Mum.

So you're not feeling overwhelmed?

No, no, no, I'm fine.

OK. That's good.

It's just Darius...

Everything OK?

Serena Michelle tells me that you're worried about me.

Stella... Stress is a part of my job,

and I am well able to deal with it.

I was just concerned.

Clearly, I went about that the wrong way.

Yes, you did.

It's just that when you mentioned drugs,

the possibility of them being in the school...

What's the situation there?

I'm trying to find out.

I had planned to do a locker search this afternoon.

I wasn't aware of that.

As deputy... You're not entitled to my every thought.

The fewer people who knew, the better.

Keep it low key, not a repeat of the dog search.

But if you want to be involved,

I'm happy for you to head the search.

Absolutely.

I'll get the ball rolling.

And apologies again.

Hey, Ben.

I've been looking for you.

Why? What's up?

You need to promise that you won't tell Schuey anything.

I won't.

You can go back in now.

All right? No, Ben, it's not all right.

If people find out about this, it could ruin my life.

I said I won't tell him.

Go on. I'm waiting to meet someone.

Go away.

All right, Drake?

And Agnes, yeah?

What's my little brother's Jesus freak girlfriend

doing in an alleyway with Mr Benjamin Drake?

Nothing. I'm going.

Well, I'll just use my imagination, shall I?

Or, you could worry about your little sister

instead of making up lies about me.

You what?

What are you saying about Portia, what's happened?

Oi! Oi!

Tell me, now.

The purpose of the positive management plan

is to help us identify our feelings

before we're triggered... Miss?

..into acting out. Miss?

Did you know he was a paedo?

TITTERING

Right.

That's inappropriate, Leoni.

How did you not know? I'd know.

Was he blackmailing you? Or, like, threatening you,

or drugging you? No, Leoni.

I just didn't know, because quite clearly,

I can't see what's right in front of my face.

I was only asking.

Get out! All of you, just get out!

Just get out!

All of you.

Now!

SHE SOBS Nicky, what are you doing?

Nicky.

I'm not fit to work with these kids.

Mitch.

Just don't say anything to me, Debs.

SHE SCREAMS

SHE SCREAMS

THEY SCREAM

Happy to help.

SCHOOL BELL RINGS

Portia.

What, you going to call me a liar again?

What? No, I just wanted to apologise.

I didn't give him the wrong impression.

And he made me send him those photos, he made me feel horrible.

No, no, I know.

I know, it was well wrong.

Then why did you say all that to me then, this morning?

That was before they charged him.

Portia.

What's this about your coach?

Shut up. Shut up, right now.

I've just heard.

That Mr Walters perv, was that you? It's got nowt to do with you.

Are you mad? Yeah, if a paedo tries it on...

Oh, Beamer, shut up! ..with my little sister, yeah,

you tell us, right?

Me and Dad could have sorted him out, couldn't we?

How could you be this stupid?

Right. Right, leave her alone now.

As for you, I know exactly who you are.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

Hey! Back off, now.

Oi! What, did you introduce him to her?

Excuse me, what you doing? I said, back off!

You need to get away, now. Ashton, don't.

You need to leave.

Ashton! Ashton, are you OK?

Everyone, inside now.

Right, Tonya, go and get a first aid.

You, stay put.

We've got police on site.

Good. Cos I'm not going anywhere.

Not until you tell me how you let this happen to my little sister.

Sorry.

Mike.

Joe.

How are you?

Yeah.

Fine, yeah, yeah, you know.

I'm good.

You?

Yeah, fine.

Good.

Listen, is everything all right with Schuey?

Why?

Well, I just... I overheard him saying that he was stressed,

and I just didn't know whether, you know, we needed to speak to him.

All right, well, this has nothing to do with you any more, does it?

Either you're in his life, or you're not.

And you chose not.

Well... Mike, Beamer Weever is kicking off.

We need you in the office.

I want answers, now.

I can assure you... There aren't any answers.

Just you throwing your weight around and embarrassing me.

How is caring about what happens to my little sister embarrassing?

I think Portia was hoping to preserve her anonymity.

Yeah, he won't know what that means, Miss.

He doesn't do big words.

I was defending you.

Great.

Beamer.

Always a pleasure.

I'm here to make sure you get to the station.

Are you joking?

No, you're going to come with me.

We'll take care of Portia.

Like you took care of her before, yeah?

Yeah, they did, actually.

It was a teacher who figured out what was going on

and stopped it from happening.

So, get out me face, all right?

Come on.

You OK?

Yeah. Right.

I'll escort you to the car park,

and then my colleague will take you to the station for processing.

What are you doing here?

What have you done?

Wouldn't have had to do anything if you'd just stepped up.

Some letch goes after our little sister, and what have you done?

Hey, I've been there for Portia.

Ever since...

No, wait. How do you even know?

Agnes told me.

Right, that's enough. Yeah, right.

She wouldn't.

You haven't got a clue, have you?

It's always a pleasure, Schuey.

Hey, it's OK.

None of this is your fault.

How is it not?

My dad hurt Portia.

I just made it worse.

I got you attacked.

Tonya.

Look, I'm glad I was there.

Yeah, well, I'm not.

It just made me feel worse.

And...I know it's not fair,

and I know you were just protecting me, but...

..I can't handle feeling any worse.

I don't think I can do this, Ashton.

I don't know how to do this after what's happened.

What are you saying?

I'm sorry.

Aaron, is that a leaf blower?

If the caretaker asks, no.

So, we've got to smash out all of next week's content, today.

Some get ready with me's, a day in the life,

and if we have time, we'll build on your political stuff.

Do all next week, today? Isn't that a bit dishonest?

It's just how people do things.

Come on.

MUSIC: It's Amazing to Be Young by Fontaines DC

What are you doing?

It's a puddlegram.

OK, standard stuff, yeah? OK.

Kick pose, Home Alone, and jump!

Yeah, OK.

Yeah, once again.

OK! OK, OK.

Sorry!

OK, good. We're going to go again, though.

This time, more lift.

What on earth are you two doing?

I don't know!

Well, clean this up, and get to class.

Bell went ages ago.

Sorry, Miss.

He's just poisoned everything.

I just didn't want to see it.

I mean, I can see what he is now.

But I did not...

..I did not want to see what he was then.

I guess, then, that means no part of my life has ever been normal.

Hey, come on.

Every relationship now, like, I'm looking back,

and I'm thinking, was I a stupid blind cow then, as well?

Like, what was I missing?

Nothing.

I really thought I could help these kids.

Should have just stayed in the canteen.

At least then, when you mess up,

you're just burning the sausage rolls, aren't you?

No, you can't think like that.

Yeah, I have to.

All I can see is him.

All them times that he came back after being AWOL.

Is that what he'd been out doing?

And then crawling back into bed next to me.

SHE SOBS

I feel sick...

..that I could let someone that close to me and not see.

Well, maybe I did see, maybe there's...

Maybe there's summat wrong with me.

There's a lot wrong with you,

but not that.

Cos the second that you figured out who he was, you went for him.

And the things you do for this lot, you do change lives.

Now you're just saying stuff to make me feel better.

Yeah, maybe I am.

But it's still true, innit?

Come here.

Dafty.

It's me looking after you for once.

What, all this for a few sour raspberry vapes?

Ah, clearly this is all Stella thinks I'm good for.

Nothing in that one either.

SHE SIGHS

Have you spoken to Serena Michelle about Stella?

Yeah.

Starting to get seriously worried now.

Why?

About whether I'm going to get the boot.

You're not serious?

Darius?

Whoa.

What's that?

I don't know.

Nothing good.

Whose locker's that?

Um...

Ben Drake.

I wouldn't want to be in his shoes right now.

No.

Or Stella's.

Mm-mm.

Come on.

Hey.

So...

It's just...exercise 22.

What?

Did you tell Beamer about Portia?

Schuey... Now everyone knows.

Why would you do that?

I-I didn't mean to.

I was actually trying to get away from Beamer because he scared me.

Why were you with him in the first place?

Were you picking up?

No! Settle down.

No.

No, I would never do that.

Then what's going on?

At the party...

..I got really drunk,

and then Ben gave me some ket.

Oh, and you took it?

Please, Schuey, I already feel bad enough.

So, what, after all that with your sister,

everything you said, how could...?

And then he kissed me.

I'm going to kill him.

What?

MUSIC: Security by Amyl and the Sniffers

Schuey, Schuey!

Mr Weever.

Wait, Schuey!

What are you doing?

Please don't do this.

Hey! Mr Weever.

Wait! Listen to me for one second.

Er, excuse me!

I don't... I don't know what you think you're going to achieve.

Please, will you just stop and talk to me?

Schuey?

Mr Weever, Agnes, what the hell are you doing?

Agnes! Get off!

I should kick the crap out of you.

You're disgusting. You're as bad as Walters.

Right, oi, Weever.

What are you on about, mate?

Get out. Get out now.

Weever, out now.

I know you kissed Agnes. What else did you do?

Eh? She was well out of it that night.

Get back.

She kissed me.

What is wrong with you?

She did! Tell him.

Agnes?

Schuey, I...

Right, Agnes, Mr Weever, office, now.

You can go to Miss Chandra.

Well, I've actually come for Ben.

Oh, lovely.

Well, you can take them all.

Go on, go.

Rest of you, show's over. Sit down.

I knew, but Portia didn't want me to say anything.

Just hope they're both OK.

I know, same.

Sorry, Miss.

Admin asked me to get Shola, emergency.

Oh, right. Shola.

Aaron, what is it? Is it my mum?

Easy!

I just said it to get you out of class for more stills. What?!

But you shouldn't have gotten me out of class.

You don't need school. Oh, really?

Can you take this seriously?

I've worked so hard for you today.

I know, and thank you, but I don't want this to be hard work,

I want it to be fun.

Maybe I want someone who appreciates the things I do for them.

So, you want to break up?

Yeah.

OK. OK, yeah, yeah.

Well, we are pretty different, aren't we? No...

Shola, that's not what I meant to say.

It's probably for the best.

Finally, I've been looking for you.

It wasn't all right, you know, what you said to me earlier.

I did nothing wrong and you should have believed us,

whether or not he's your dad.

I'm sorry.

I am.

I was just so excited, and we were going to be this normal family,

and then it all just exploded.

And I was supposed to believe he did that?

So, I had to be lying.

Well, yeah.

Or Mum was.

Cos it would have been worse if it was true.

But you weren't lying.

No, I wasn't.

Yeah.

And now I've got this, for life.

Being half...him.

And I just keep thinking, what if I...?

Don't be stupid.

I mean, I get it. You've met my dad.

But we're us, and there's zero chance we're going to turn out

like that pair of losers.

Oh, and thanks for standing up for us, with Beamer.

It's OK.

Still mates?

Yes. Please.

Come on, then, we've got a class.

Oh, and just so you know, you've still got your mum,

and she is brilliant.

Mmm.

Hey, Miss.

Are you all right?

Leoni, I'm...I'm really sorry for before.

No way, I was being a twerp.

Well, it won't happen again.

I won't be here much longer.

You're leaving?

Well, this is a placement.

The school might want this over

sooner rather than later, after this.

Tossers.

Leoni.

You're one of the good ones.

I still think about what you told me.

About it being OK to be mad.

Well, that's not quite...

If you use it, to be good.

That sucks. I'm sorry, Miss.

Hey. SHE SIGHS

Mitch, I am so sorry.

I'll have this place spick and span by the end of the day, I promise,

and I...and I'll pay for any damage.

I know.

And I know today was down to some exceptional circumstances.

But the fact still remains, you are great with the kids,

and you deserve every chance.

Mitch... So...

I don't see the need to mention this to the SLT.

Thank you.

I owe you big time.

Yes, you do! Yes, you do.

So...the PRU job.

I'm still happy to give you a reference,

but I want you to really think about taking it.

OK?

OK.

I will think about it.

OK.

You had no right to go into my locker.

Ben, I don't think you realise how much trouble you're in.

We are legally obliged to inform the police,

who will make their decision on how they proceed.

But as far as the trust is concerned, the policy...

You are excluded immediately.

Probably permanently.

How could you be so stupid?

You do realise this could affect your gran's job?

What?

They're not going to fire you because of me?

No.

But when the news gets out, her reputation will be damaged.

Every time she has an incident,

every time she has to speak to a parent...

Her authority has been affected.

OK, we're done for now.

Mr Donovan.

I'll take him to inclusion while we work out what to do next.

Come on, mate.

It wasn't like that!

I didn't mean to.

OK, so you did kiss him?

Only for, like, a second.

Yeah, don't talk to me.

Can we go?

Yeah, it's probably not productive right now, is it?

Well, wait, Schuey, If you care about someone,

you should at least give them a chance to explain.

Well, it doesn't make it hurt any the less though, does it, Joe?

OK, well, I just think that when people hurt us,

it doesn't always mean they're bad people.

All right? It sometimes means they're hurting too.

No, but it can come as quite a surprise,

when people act out of character like that.

Schuey, I don't know what's happened, OK?

I feel like I'm watching myself in a film, a really bad film,

where you're just screaming at the screen.

No, you think you're God's gift, Agnes.

Judging everyone -

you make me feel like I was so lucky to have you help me change.

I broke my promise to Portia, because I didn't want to lie to you.

And the whole time, you're lying to me.

Nah.

You were lucky to have me.

Not the other way around.

Can we go?

Refreshments are just through here, when you're ready.

Thanks, Wendy.

Listen, I know today's been hard on you.

But, Stella, please be assured,

this doesn't impact your professional standing with me.

If anything, how you've handled this bolsters it.

And, as for Ben, clearly,

there are no excuses for drug taking, full stop.

Just cos he's my grandson, he shouldn't get special treatment.

I have to agree.

If it was any other student

who'd been through what Ben has been through,

you'd be asking what more you could do to help.

Trust policy is exclusion.

It is,

but ultimately, it's Stella's decision on how that applies.

It is a police issue, but I wouldn't expect an exclusion to be permanent.

Oh...

Well, er...

That is such a relief.

Shall we break there?

It's been a long day.

I can send your apologies to the contact you were meeting

and rearrange for...

No, I would like to keep some semblance of routine.

Let's keep the meeting and we can release the funds.

Yeah, it sounds good to me.

I'll get the coffees.

Thank you.

SHE SNIFFLES

TOILET FLUSHES

Schuey told you?

How my business is all round the school? Yeah.

I messed up.

Do you ever feel like everything just always happens to you?

We are not the same, Agnes.

Stop trying to victim bond with me.

I'm a fighter, and I'll be fine.

But you have made some crappy choices,

and you need to own that.

And stop saying, "I didn't want, I don't know how,"

and start saying sorry.

I have.

No, you haven't.

What I don't understand here is line 45, and the figures there.

Stella?

Stella?

Hmm?

Line 45.

Sorry.

I feel...

..really zonked.

SHE CHUCKLES

You've been working very hard.

Shall I get you another coffee?

Ooh. Oh, God.

I'm sorry. Sorry.

Um...

I don't, I don't... I don't feel very...very well.

Um...

Do you think today's just been too much?

SCHOOL BELL RINGS

Yeah.

Yeah, OK.

OK, thanks.

Bye.

Mum.

Hiya.

Are you all right?

I'm sorry for what I said.

There's no way it's your fault,

or Portia's.

It's all Dad.

Yeah, it is.

It is him.

We can't let him stop us from trusting people.

It's easier to say.

No, I know.

Um, listen, you know that job that I interviewed for?

Mmm.

Well, they just called and offered it to me.

But I don't like the thought of leaving you here.

So, do you maybe want to come with me

to the main school at St Clement's?

Change schools?

Because of Dad.

Yeah.

Well, no, mainly because of you.

You might heal better if you're in a place

where you don't have to think about him every time you turn a corner.

Maybe.

I don't know, I just...

I don't want to leave all my friends.

Yep, I understand that.

Just an idea.

And whatever you decide,

I will be right behind you, every step of the way.

Cos I love you.

Mm.

I love you, too.

Come here.

Sorry, paperwork.

Fancy a takeaway?

Have a chat?

No.

No need to chat.

She cheated...

..and I'm not living with that.

The always wondering.

If you can trust her?

Well, it'll be hard, but...

Well, do you love her?

I don't know.

Cos if you do, then... it doesn't happen very often.

And if you give up now, then...

..you'll always spend your time wondering, what if?

But if you try, it don't work out, you can move on.

Go and find her, see how you feel.

I'll wait.

OK.

Thanks, Mike.

You really are so good with him.

Mike, I-I...

I am so sorry about how we ended.

You know, I never meant for us to...

..explode, or to hurt you.

Thanks for your apology.

You know, you don't have to be awkward around me.

Well...

I fought for you, and I didn't win,

and that's hard...

..but I accept it...

..cos I've got no regrets.

Well, do you think there's a chance we could be friends?

One day?

I don't know.

I mean, if we were friends, then...

..I'd have to ask what on earth is going on with this new look?

Here we go.

If we were friends, I'd feel duty bound to step in.

You know, there'd be a moral obligation.

Mm.

Bitter ex-lovers it is, then.

Bye, Joe.

I, um...

I don't know what happened.

Just concentrate on your breathing.

Are you sure you don't need an ambulance?

No, no, I don't.

I, um...

I had some, um, bad news this morning, and, er...

Oh...

That, plus Ben. Mm.

I must be under more pressure than I realised.

Well, clearly, you need to go home,

and get checked out before you even think about coming back.

No arguments.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're right. I, um...

I'll take some time off.

Schuey!

Agnes, I've been looking everywhere for you.

I am so sorry that I did all that stuff,

and I am so sorry that I lied about it.

Agnes... No, please.

Will you just listen?

I've always been the good one.

You know, my sister was so messed up, and then Leoni came along,

and I wasn't going to be like that - but then...

..that's exactly what I was like.

So, I've just been making excuses,

and blaming Ben, and my parents,

and then Leoni for not forgiving me -

and it's actually only when I spoke to Portia that...

All of these things, they didn't just happen.

I did it.

Me.

I've messed up.

I'm not who I thought I was, or who I told you that I was,

and I'm just... I'm just so sorry, Schuey.

I never needed you to be the good one, Agnes.

Honestly, it's nice to know that you're human.

And I know that it's over, but...

I just didn't want you to hate me.

Is it over?

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

I love you.

You know, and I want you to be you.

Not whoever you think you're meant to be, right?

I want to be with the real Agnes.

I would really like that.

OK.

OK, well, um...

We should start over, yeah?

Hiya. I'm Schuey Weever.

Interesting name.

I'm, um, Agnes Eccleston.

And I am a screw-up.

That is so weird.

Mm? So weird.

I used to be a screw-up.

Really?!

Do you think you could give me a few tips?

Because, I really need to sort my life out.

Mmm, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Can we just get to our first kiss?

So...

Yes.

I owe you an apology.

You did try and tell me.

No, that's not... Um...you don't.

I was just going to say, I could hold the fort here for a while,

if it helps you avoid getting a temporary head,

since we don't know how long she's going to be, er...

Oh, well...

Yeah, that would be the ideal solution. Thanks.

And, thanks for your honesty earlier, that can't have been easy.

I'll speak to you tomorrow.

MUSIC: Better Of Me by Sam Fender

It opened up Pandora's box

And it all came rushin' out like water

Trapped inside a pressurised vat

I lay crooked on the stairs

Pickin' fights with my reflection

Tryna pry out some answers from that idiot

I spend many days takin' walks around the haunts that

You and I spent all our adolescent life

You hurt my heart and subsequently I hurt others

And I'm no further than I was before

God, you really got the better of me.

Nick! Hey.

Mitch says you're leaving.

Oh, wow.

The rumour mill in this place!

Well, is it true?

Yeah.

Mitch reckons they'll waive me notice here, given everything.

I'm going to miss you.

It's the other side of town, Donte, not the world.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know. It's just, er...

Yeah, it'll be different.

You've always been here for me.

Yeah.

Ever since I was the cook, and you were the angry dad.

Hey, I was a grieving dad, all right?

Yeah.

But, er...

..you put me back together, Nicky Walters.

Yeah, I never thought that I'd ever...

Well.

Hey, um...

What happens if I need my life saving again?

Then you call me.

OK.

I'm going to miss you.

I really am.

I know.

Me too.

But I have to move on.

Tonya said...

Tonya said you were really there for her earlier, so...

..thank you for that.

Yeah.

And...for everything.

Come here.

Right.

Take care, you.

See ya. See ya.

Hey!

I've heard, at your new school, they don't even have a cleaner.

They've just got robot dogs.

Um, I've been thinking about what you said before.

You know, about St Clement's main school.

I think, um...

I think I'd really like that.

Like, a lot.

Well, what about your friends?

Well, I'll still see them, it's just...

What you said about a fresh start

and not having this mess in my head all the time...

..I want that.

OK, kiddo. Come here.

Oh, and someone needs to keep an eye on you.

What?

Trashing the inclusion?

Oh, and I wonder who told you about that!

You're out of hand.

Right, then, pub?

Pub!

In the spirit of fresh starts, should we try a new pub?

Mm. I smell an unpaid bar tab.

It's my round, actually.

Not for you, you're on lemonade.

Oh! Oh, your favourite.
