Get him. Yeah, get him.

The night's the night.

Go on then, do him.

Come on then.

Stop!

Do him.

Listen, Connor's father.

It was Rick.

Careful, the baby will pick up bad
vibes.

Hello, the baby's found.

No!

I want him done.

Nobody messes with my family.

Just beat it, Barry. You forgot that you
had a gun.

I'm not stupid.

My dad's in prison for using one. You're
not far behind. We're in the PRU. We

don't need to prepare.

We just need to stay awake.

You're closing the unit. You can't close
it. I need my education.

One last chance.

Prove me wrong.

What do you want from me? I've tried
everything, Imogen. Sorry isn't enough.

Hush little baby, don't you cry.

Mama's gonna build you a castle in the
sky.

Gonna fill it with all of the things in
this life you'll ever need.

With a mummy and a daddy and a book you
can read.

About this girl who used to know you
when you hadn't yet been born and who

you as a mother.

but found herself real torn.

Because this girl was still a child
herself with growing up to do.

And if she could find you a better start
in life, that would be best for her and

you.

Then one day when you're both finally
ready, hopefully you'll want to see her

again that day.

So I can tell you how much I missed you
and wanted this to turn out some other

way.

Is Connor in?

Yeah, yeah, he's in the kitchen.

Imogen, I'm really glad you two have
patched things up.

Connor's like... He's like a different
person.

Everything OK?

Yeah, sorry.

Mel's away.

Got a lot on with exams coming up and
everything.

Well, if there's anything I can do to
help... No, it's fine. I'll manage.

Thanks, though.

I can do mates rates on private tuition,
if you like.

Thought I'd call you through this
morning.

Yeah, well, I was up early, so... You
all right?

You look exhausted.

Thanks.

Didn't sleep too well.

Nothing a bit of concealer can't fix.

Can I use your bathroom?

Yeah, on you go.

Jade!

Come on, everyone's waiting!

Why?

Now it's just Maggie's made her extra
special scrambled eggs again.

I'm not hungry. I might miss it. You
can't.

I mean, you know, you've got to eat,
haven't you?

I'll get something later. I've got stuff
to do.

What are you in such a hurry for anyway?

Adoption farm.

That's private.

Is this for real?

I haven't got time for this. I need to
go.

How long have you been planning this
for?

I told you, Scout, just leave it.

It's just... Maggie's got a surprise
planned.

Is it about the baby?

I know you wanted to sort things for
your baby yourself, but

I saw this and I couldn't resist.

You spent ages trying to find the right
one.

That baby's so lucky.

Don't you like it?

Costs more than my last card, Ed. No,
it's lovely, Maggie, really. It's

It's just too much.

Oh, rubbish!

Anything to keep my little granddaughter
here happy.

It's great, thanks.

I've got to get going now. I've got some
stuff to pick up in town before school.

You've got your phone on you, yeah? In
case anything happens.

Better now? You tell me.

You don't even make up to look gorgeous.

We've still got some time before we need
to head.

I'm not in the mood.

You're okay with that?

We're loves, aren't you?

Yeah, of course I am.

Have you brushed your teeth today?

This isn't right, Jade. You need to tell
someone what you're doing.

Forget you ever saw anything.

What's so wrong with a baby staying with
us anyway?

Because she deserves a proper home. A
normal one.

What's that supposed to mean?

She needs two parents who can look after
her and care for her, like I've never

had. You've got us now, though. That's
better, isn't it?

It wouldn't be the same.

You know it wouldn't. What, this is your
own flesh and blood you're talking

about giving away, Jade? A baby?

I know.

But it'll be better over the long term.

You haven't met these guys, Scout.

They're all she needs. They're perfect.

But you might be perfect too.

They want this more than anyone I've
ever met.

They really do.

And I'm just not ready for it yet.

So, is it where you're going now, then,
to meet them?

We've been meeting them over a couple of
months.

I haven't rushed this.

Fine. Then I'm coming too and see it for
myself.

Because if they really are as good as
you say, someone's going to have to back

you up to Maggie when it all comes out.

Mum, we're going to be late.

Coming.

Morning, Michael.

Morning. Are we all set for the PRU
presentation later on?

Chance to show the rest of the school
what the PRU is capable of? Well, I must

say, I'm impressed with what they've
been doing.

Yeah, they seem to be improving
academically, and today I thought we'd

their public speaking skills.

Well, I look forward to seeing it. Oh,
Jodie in particular has made massive

improvements. Like, she keeps us up at
the K3. Well, one step at a time.

But hopefully it'll help justify
Lorraine's continued investment into the

Shut up, you.

As long as everyone behaves themselves.

Yeah, he's lucky to get away with the
caution after he's done it all last

Well, I'm sure it's nothing that Sian
doesn't have under control. What's that?

Mr Barry over there.

Yeah.

Are you going to be watching
presentations this afternoon, Miss? I

Actually, Barry, I think it might be
best if you spent the afternoon with

McFall. What?

You're lucky to be in school at all
after what happened last week. Oh, Miss.

arguments.

I can see your point, Sian, but he's
been working really hard. I don't want

take the risk, especially not with such
a public opportunity to cause trouble.

See you after break, yeah?

Paula, are you all right?

I heard they said the word on the way
in.

Yeah, I just got a lot on my mind.

You? Yeah.

Cool.

Son, I'll come to your senses then.

Why can't you just be happy for him?

Because I can't believe you've forgiven
him for doing that to you.

Yeah, well, I'm not you.

As far as your mum's on board, my mum
would kill anyone that ain't me like

She's got nothing to do with her.

You haven't told her.

In with you.

What do you think? Got them online?

Bit small for him, ain't they?

Mr Byrne know you're in here, does he?
Do you think Jade will like them? She

must have enough stuff to open her own
branch of mother care by now. Be here,

but it's only a couple of quid. Yeah, on
top of the couple of hundred I've

already spent.

Look, I'm doing my best to support Jade
and her baby here. It's not like she's

got anybody else to help her, is it?

Just remember, it is her baby, not ours.

Hearing the patter of tiny feet, are we?

Fine, if you can't be bothered, I'll
manage myself.

Lorraine, are you coming to the
presentation this afternoon?

No, it's the first I've heard of it.

Oh, right.

We're giving the P .I .U. pupils a
chance to showcase themselves.

That's a great idea.

But I've got meetings all day.

It'd be a great morale boost for the
kids to see you there.

Jay Fleming has a fantastic performance
lined up. It would be great if you could

see it.

I'll see if, Tan, you can juggle my
diary.

All right.

I've been working for weeks on the
artwork for this presentation.

I was going to film it for my dad and
everything.

How did you expect to be involved after
what happened last week?

Well, this is my chance to make amends
for it.

Do something right for once.

I thought that's what today was about.

Proving yourself? I think it's going to
take a bit more than a show and tell in

your case. Let me make a start, miss.

Please.

For your sake, too.

You know, you've helped me load.

And I just want a chance to repay that.
All right, enough of the violence.

So you'll let me do it?

If you step out of line for a second...
I won't.

You won't regret it, miss.

I promise.

This is going to break Maggie's heart,
do you know that?

Why do you think I haven't told her yet?

Well, are you just going to give birth
and just give it away?

No, I just didn't know how to tell her.

Sarah runs this place.

A cafe.

Just be cool, okay? They're good people.

Sorry I'm a bit late.

Don't worry about it. You're here now.

Looking radiant as ever.

Sarah, look who it is.

So much since last week. I can't believe
it.

Scout, this is Kaz and Sarah Winters.

Pleasure to meet you, Scout. It's
Geordie, actually.

Scout's my friend.

OK, well, come and sit yourselves down.

So, when you wanted to meet so soon
again after last week... Just thought we

should have a final catch -up before she
gets here.

Only a few more weeks to go.

Feels like a lifetime.

Oh, you look gorgeous, though.

She's terrible.

I'm Jade.

It's very special.

We took some more photos of the nursery
for you.

Oh, it's come on loads.

This is an amazing thing you're doing
for us. You know that, don't you? Yeah,

well, it's not like you're not helping
me out as well.

And how's the rap training going?

Got your flow down yet? Yeah, totally.

I think I've well improved.

Kevin's been helping Jade. He's a music
producer.

Oh, yeah. Who for?

Probably no -one you've heard of.

It was a while ago.

But I know how nerve -wracking it can be
to perform in front of an audience for

the first time, so... We got you a
little good luck gift to help you out.

Oh, Drew would have liked that, wouldn't
he?

So, what does he think about this little
thing, then?

But you said you weren't in touch. It
was a one -night stand.

Is that right?

Sorry, did I say something?

Yeah, it was a long time ago. A bit
embarrassing.

Yeah, well, don't worry about it.

We're just so grateful that you're doing
this for us.

I mean, you two have only just got back
together and then this happens. I know.

And if your contraception's almost 100 %
effective, that means there's got to be

a statistical margin of error,
approximately.

Right, thanks, mate, but I don't need a
math lesson. You can understand why you

shouldn't come talk to me.

Well, girls can get funny about this
kind of thing, can't they?

And you'd know.

Either way, you're going to have to talk
to her about it.

I guess.

No, no.

Do the honourable thing. Show her you're
there for her, whatever's her name.

Yeah, of course.

At least you made it.

There's more than can be said for some.

Rhiannon, do you know where Jade and
Scout are this morning?

Jade said she ran into town before
school, but that was ages ago.

And Scout?

What am I? Their bodyguard?

This has been great, guys, but I really
do have to get on.

Oh, it's busy, this place, isn't it?

Thankfully, I've lined someone else up
to run it when the baby arrives.

The next time we see you, you'll be with
our little girl.

I can't wait.

You take care.

I'll drop youse back.

I'll meet you downstairs. I'll just get
a car.

They're great, yeah?

It's not them I'm worried about now.

I mean, you're acting as though you
wanted them to adopt you.

Oh, whatever.

So they're just going to turn up at the
hospital and take your baby? I mean,

should you even be meeting them? Why?

The agency organised it. It's up to me
how often I meet them.

And Drew.

It was just a one -night stand.

I thought it was the love of your life.

Well, I wasn't going to tell him he got
banged up for stabbing someone.

So you could have told him something.

Have you even told him what you're
doing?

Jade! He's out in two months. He's going
to find out. He'll be done by then. He

won't be able to stop it.

It's not that I don't love him anymore,
Scout. I do. It's just... I can't live

with seeing him making a good dad, you
know? A reliable one.

Listen.

Just do me a favour and keep this
between us, please.

I can't deal with everyone getting in my
case.

So turn to page 56, and I'd like you to
review how enzyme properties can be used

industrially, OK? We'll take 15 minutes.

You're going to have to tell your mum
eventually, darling. You can't keep

Conrad and Sita forever.

I tried, but she just kept going on
about how much she hates them.

Making her be locked up by the time he's
18.

Never know.

Bad enough dealing with Mrs Mulgrew
without my mum getting involved as well.

Why can't people just let us be
together?

Look, I know we don't agree with what
you're doing, but I'm still your mate,

aren't I? And if that means keeping a
secret, then so be it.

I think I can manage that.

Thanks. That means a lot. I'm doing it
for you, though, yeah. Not for anyone.

Dynasty, how are you feeling about
enzymes?

Oh, yeah.

I'm all for them, miss.

Perhaps you could be all for them from
your own seat.

Rhiannon, do you know where Scout or
Jade's got to?

Miss Boston tells me they haven't been
in school all morning and they're not

answering the phone.

No, why?

Does everyone keep asking me that?

Duh. Jade's nine months pregnant and you
are a housemate.

They're fine. They're probably just
skiving the presentation or something.

Lord, Jade were looking kind of peaky
this morning, weren't she?

And she's due to bloney day now. What,
she's birthed already? Stuck in the

hospital by herself?

I'd better phone Brayside, see if
they've heard anything.

Imogen.

Can I have a word?

Of course.

I'm private.

Okay.

Shouldn't you be in the PR group?

Some things are more important than
that.

But, Chas... No.

Look, Imogen, I know I've not been the
best boyfriend.

Right.

But that's all behind us now.

A new start, yeah?

No more secrets?

Of course.

So, I just wanted you to know that if
anything did change between us, that I'd

still be here for you.

For both of you.

Both of you?

What?

You think I'm pregnant?

This is yours, isn't it?

You left it in the bin this morning.

That's not mine.

And don't you think I would have come
and talked to you about it if I did

I was pregnant?

Yeah, but when you come in this morning
looking all tired and that... If it's

not yours, then it must be.

What are you doing?

Me? He's copying me?

Me?

Hardly. Just concentrate on your own
work.

What's all this?

And you can finish off the rest at
break.

In detention.

What's all that about?

I don't know.

She's been in a weird mood all morning.

Quiet!

Oi! Oi! Take it round the side.

What, no -one's seen them since they
left this morning?

Not a thing, nothing.

I phoned Brayside, the general
infirmary, Greenock West.

Nobody heard anything.

Something's happened to her, Tom, I just
know it.

Yeah, well, why don't we ask her
ourselves before we get too carried

You didn't have to bring us all the way
in.

Come on, hardly going to make you walk
further than you had to.

Jade?

Everything OK?

Yeah, that's Maggie, the one I told you
about.

Where have you been, girls?

Just in town, like I said.

What's the big deal? The big deal, young
lady, is that you are nine months

pregnant and you've not been in school
all morning and now you're getting lifts

off strange men, apparently.

Well, I'd better introduce myself.

I'm Kaz Winters.

And you are?

One half of the baby's adoptive parents.

Adoption? Well, you haven't told her.

What are you talking about?

I wanted to tell you, I just didn't want
to freak you out.

Of course I'm going to freak out.

Is this your doing?

Brainwashing her?

Maggie. No, it was Jade's idea.

Well, I'm sure the police will have
something to say about you taking two

out of school without us knowing.

Police? She said she had a free period
this morning. Right, let's go inside.

We talk about this sensibly, yeah?

Come, Scout, get to the PRU, please.

I don't believe this.

Have you completely lost your mind,
Jade?

I think I can probably explain. I want
to hear from her, not you. I think

done enough damage.

Maggie, after everything we've been
through, six months, six months of

classes, all my little special eating
plans, how could you do this to me?

Without even coming to me and talking to
me about it first?

I just wanted her to have the best
start, that's all.

Yes, and that is with us.

I don't understand why you're even
considering this.

Adoption, right, is for people with no
other choice.

I'm giving you options.

How can you turn your back on that for
the sake of this... For him?

Excuse me?

Stop it!

Both of you!

It's my baby, my choice.

Yes, well, it's the wrong choice.

How can you say that?

Maybe you should leave us to discuss
this for now, Maggie.

Go on a minute, Tom.

I'm her housemistress, and this is my
concern. And it's obviously a very

emotional issue, but I think you should
go away and consider that.

Please.

You need to talk to her, can't you? Say
something.

It's none of my business.

It is if you're going to have a little
half -brother running around.

I'm sorry for any trouble, Mr Clarkson,
but there's obviously been a bit of

confusion over who knew what about
Jade's adoption plans.

Caused in no small part by you, it
seems.

I knew she'd overreact.

That doesn't mean you couldn't be honest
about what you were planning.

It's a big decision.

Well, you can hardly blame her the way
that woman reacted.

That woman has a very close relationship
with the children in her care.

Too close, if you ask me.

Oh? Well, maybe we need to start finding
Jade somewhere else to live if she's

going to lose it like that. I don't
think that'll be necessary.

This whole process is stressful enough
for Jade and her baby without adding her

into the equation, too. I appreciate
your concern, Mr Winters, but we are

than capable of looking after Jade,
believe me.

Jade.

This is so heavy, miss.

It's good for you.

What happened this morning, Jodie?

Skipping class?

What happened again, miss? It was an
emergency.

You know I should get you a detention.

Look, I wouldn't have done it unless it
were important. I'll make it up to you

today in my presentation, yeah? I just
don't want you to let yourself down.

Not when you've put all this work in.

So that's what happened to you and Jay
this morning, then?

Skiving to get out of it?

You'll find out soon enough.

Let's go.

I only found out this morning, Maggie, I
swear.

And you didn't think to tell me as soon
as you knew?

Yeah, but she wanted to keep it a secret
in case you tried to stop her. I'm here

to look after you lot, right? To save
you from making mistakes.

I don't think she sees it that way.

Well, maybe it's not now, but who knows
how she's going to feel in ten years'

time, too, even.

This couple, are they putting pressure
on her or something?

No.

They're all right, actually.

True, then.

What?

It's just... I don't think she's even
told him yet.

Look, just talk to Jade, all right? I've
got to go and set my presentation,

yeah?

We can have a go as well.

Tell me what mistake I'm making.

No.

I just want to make sure that you're OK.

You've got a lot to deal with. Well,
I've dealt with it.

It's the others you need to worry about.

And you're sure this is your own
decision?

I'm not a child. I know what I'm doing.

I'm not saying that.

I went for an adoption agency.

I chose to meet Kaz and Sarah.

I thought you were looking forward to
raising me yourself.

It just wasn't the way I saw her life
going, I guess. Or mine.

I just didn't have to tell anyone that.

It's not like I'm enjoying having to
make this decision.

It must be tough.

Miss Bodden's going to hate me.

Kick me out for sure.

Oh, she won't do that.

She'll calm down when she's had a chance
to see things from your point of view.

Shouldn't you be in class?

Setting up for the presentation.

She's coming.

What, today?

Must have been up all week.

I'm sorry, Sam. I forgot.

Right.

Everything OK?

Of course, look, I'd love to come, but
I'm covering a class for Mr Clarkson.

I'm sorry.

No worries.

I hope they've got a lot on your mind.

What was her then?

Connor? I tried, but she was busy.

Oh.

Hey, let me take them for you.

I wouldn't want you to strain yourself.

You told him?

I had to speak to someone I was worried
about.

Look, it's nothing to be ashamed of.

New life.

It's a beautiful thing.

It wasn't my taste, you did.

Well, sorry, if you're not afraid,
because who is?

Who do you think aims Dame?

His mum.

You know, I'm just worried if you see me
all upset.

Scout's been telling me about your anti
-adoption campaign. This isn't a joke,

Grantley. Of course. I know it can't
have been easy for you to hear. The

is, I've just spoke to Drew.

You what?

You told him? He had every right to
know.

But this is Drew we're talking about.
Remember, if he gets out, he'll stop us.

Well, actually, he's even more up for it
than she is, apparently.

But you were crazy about her and the
baby.

Well, it seems that he can't control his
temper, and so they've added another

year to his sentence.

And... He's not even had the courage to
tell Jade about it. Looks like we're all

dodged a bullet there.

We should tell Jade.

She was terrified of what he might do.

Let me talk to her first about it,
please, before we all get carried away.

Are you sure that that is a good idea?

I don't want you getting too involved.

I don't want you getting hurt.

There is no too involved, Brantley. This
is a family that we're talking about.

In employment terms, yes.

Not as far as I'm concerned.

These are as good as blood. And do you
know something?

I'm not going to stand around here and
do nothing, even if that means adopting

that baby myself.

Yeah?

Is Margaret here? Shall I send her in,
or do you need a minute?

No, no, send her in, please, Sonia.

All very formal.

Have I done something wrong?

No, I just wanted to check how you were.

Great.

You? Yeah, not bad.

Good.

I wanted to talk to you about a rumour
that's been going around.

OK. I overheard Connor talking to some
of his friends.

Yes? About you.

And a pregnancy scare.

Is that a problem?

No, no, it's not a problem.

It's not ideal, is it?

Look, I just wanted to talk to you about
it, particularly as it's more than

likely me that's involved as well.

More than likely?

I thought we were careful, Christy.

Poppy? No, thank you, Sonia. Tea?

No.

Nothing happened.

You can relax. It was a false alarm.

Just like that, apparently. But it's
good to know you were so terrified at

prospect. I'm sorry if I overreacted,
all right? No, I should go. Christine,

I... I'm sorry. I thought we had a
meeting.

Oh, no, it's OK.

We've done here.

Adoption? No way. When was she planning
on telling us?

She wasn't. That's the point.

Look, you can't tell anyone else.

It's a secret.

Maggie is going to fart it. Just let her
speak to her. Helen, please.

Jade, can I have a word, pet?

I've not come to shout at you again.

I've got a little proposition.

You and Mr Badgin?

Are you serious?

Look, if you're serious about
adoption...

Why not with people who you know and can
talk?

Erm... And you can change your mind then
later, if you want to. I just don't

think this would be the best thing for
her, Maggie.

It can't.

No offence.

It's no weirder than what you're trying
to do, Flower.

Why would you give up your baby, hmm?

When there's an entire house filled with
people who are willing to look after

her. It's not the same, is it?

She needs a normal family.

A proper one.

We are a normal family.

If it's a shame of being a single mum...
It's not that.

You're not listening.

Why don't you wait for Drew to get out?

Hmm?

Before you decide.

Try again with him.

You really think he'd make a good dad
after what he did?

People can change, can't they?

Especially when there's a little baby
involved.

And he's meant to be getting out in the
next couple of months, isn't he?

So at least just wait until then, eh?

Until after you've had the baby, before
you make any rash decisions.

I'm going to need a hand setting up in
the lecture theatre.

I'll do it, miss.

Right. Well, we'll be back soon. Just
carry on with what you're doing.

I think we need a word, don't you?

Huh?

What's all this crap about you giving
the baby away without telling us?

You told them.

They were going to find out eventually.

This doesn't just affect you, it affects
all of us. I can't believe you did

this. I was going to do a presentation
this afternoon on how this class is like

a family to me.

I don't think I'll bother now. I was
wrong.

You're not being fair.

And neither is she.

She doesn't seem to care what anyone
else thinks.

And from what I heard, she didn't even
bother telling her dad.

I had to tell her. She won't leave me
alone.

Did you know this as well?

Yeah, but it's okay. He's fine with it.

It's up to you because you've got a
laptop for another year.

What?

Maggie was supposed to tell you.

Isn't that what she came to talk to you
about before?

Oh, Jude!

Maggie, is it true you spoke to Drew and
didn't tell me?

I was going to tell you, love. I just...
Didn't.

You lied instead.

I didn't want you to make a mistake.
Stay away from me and my baby.

On my way Falling down I

hide behind a lie

And I'll say Every letter that

you sent Despite everything

I've said She

should be back by now. What if she's a
proper runner? It's all your fault,

Rhiannon. Why are you so bothered
anyway?

Because my parents threw me and my
brother off and it didn't exactly make

feel great about myself, did it? This is
different.

Jade picked the people to look after her
baby instead of just sending her off to

a bunch of foster homes.

Where's Jade?

She went into the nursery. She wasn't
feeling very well.

God, let her. She's not planning on
dropping her on the premises.

I knew I shouldn't have left you by
yourself.

It won't happen again.

We'll make sure of it.

I'm not going back there after this.
They hate me now. After all that hard

you put into your presentation.

Can't I hang out with you guys instead?

People will worry, Jade.

You saw what happened this morning.

They only care about the baby, not me.

Well, we could come back to school with
you if you like.

You need to show them that you've made
your decision and that you're proud of

it.

And if they think they can give you any
more grief with us there, they've got

another thing coming.

You made it. I think I missed the chance
to see where all my money's been spent.

Well, I hope you'll be as impressed as I
am.

Me too.

Hey.

Where is Jade?

She should have been here by now.

She's probably got baby stuff to be
dealing with.

Ready to take your seats?

Thank you.

Okay, welcome.

to this afternoon's PRU presentation.

What we're hoping to show you this
afternoon is how a supportive learning

environment can help pupils' confidence.

And it gives these guys a chance to tell
you exactly what they've been doing in

their own words.

Now, we were due to begin with a
performance from Jade Fleming, but

unfortunately she's not very well.

So we will start with...

I was just getting prepared, actually.

Last minute changes.

I brought these guys.

They've been helping me out.

Sure.

I'll tell you later.

Who's that, then?

Right, over to you, Jade.

OK, well, I was going to do this rap
about everything I've been through since

I've been here, but turns out some of
you think you know already, so I'm going

to do a new one, a freestyle.

Because I thought I had life sorted.

Had it all worked out and perfect, you
see. But then these people come try and

change that. Tell me how I should think
and how I should really be.

Had my house mum try and talk
supportive.

One big happy family under one big roof.

But the fact is, they're not always
going to be there. Can't always be

to tell the truth.

I worried about having to tell the
baby's dad. Think he might lose it. Come

after me.

But the guy messed up more than I did.
Couldn't keep his temper in check to

himself free.

So the truth is...

You've got to do your own thing. Do
what's right for you and yours and not

them.

Because the PRU is about finding your
own voice and having the confidence to

have it heard again.

This you come to say I told you so.

Scout told me what happened with Jade.

I would have told her about Drew
eventually.

You crossed the line when you phoned
him. What were you thinking of?

Look, I didn't want her to make the same
mistakes that I did. All right, what's

so wrong with that? But it's not the
same, is it? And it might not be a

for her. Anyway, it's Jade's mistake to
make. You can disagree all you like.

I know that.

All right, but it just breaks my heart,
all right.

All the things she's going to miss.

Not seeing our little girl grow up.

Come here.

It's Jade that needs you now.

No matter how much she pushes you away.

No matter how painful it is.

Well, she's not going to want anything
to do with us now.

Oh, of course she is.

Just give her a bit of time, eh?

To calm down.

I was just trying to protect her.

Mm -hm.

That's what a decent parent does.

To be there for them no matter what.

So, why don't you go home?

OK. And make her a specialty.

Yeah?

As you can tell, today's trend for
powerful female role models might seem

recent one.

But without the trailblazers of the 19th
century literature, like Jaina and

Elizabeth Bennet, and obviously the kick
-ass female authors that created them,

you wouldn't have any of your Hermione
Grangers or Katniss Everdeens of today.

I think there's some really great work
here.

She just needs to smash those exams.

She's on the way to uni. Oh, maybe,
yeah.

Great, Scout. Thanks very much.

OK, next up is Colin.

I knew you could do it, kid.

You did me proud.

Couldn't have done it without you guys,
though. Looks like you two are the only

two I can count on right now.

Oh, I'm sure that's not true.

It is.

You've been really supportive and it
means a lot.

Do you want to?

We should go out tonight, celebrate.

I could come back afterwards to see your
place.

Um, we might need to stay there for a
little bit now anyway.

Oh? Well, at least until the baby's
born.

It's not like I can go back to the
schoolhouse now after what Miss

done. You said we should keep in
contact.

I think I made a lot of phone calls.

But this is even better, right?

We can talk about that later.

You should catch the rest of the
presentations.

This Cass, we have to tell her. Not
before it's done, we don't. If she's had

courage to be honest about what's going
on in her life, she deserves to know.

Thanks, and that's my presentation on
steampunk.

OK,

so next up is Mr Barry.

I guess I don't need no introduction.

There's probably a lot you've heard
about me already.

I could stand here and tell you about
how I feel about this school, but I

thought I'd show you instead.

Right.

You, you, you, up. Come on.

Here we go.

So...

These drawings represent my vision of
the PRU's dirty half -dozen and crack

of highly trained teachers sent in to
turn this group of misfits into an award

-winning A -team, led by their no
-nonsense captain, the Boston Bruiser.

Put on the ad, back into Bard.

No mistake.

And then we have the brains of the
operation, the Burn -O -Mator.

Part man, part machine, and just when
you think he's given up on you, he'll be

back.

The benefactor, a hotshot entrepreneur
determined to turn the boardroom into

anything but.

Thanks, Barry.

And we all know, corner flag Clarkson.

I'm betting flip budget.

And last but not least, the satiny
scientist.

Now, there's not that much to joke about
with her, really.

Just to say that she makes you want to
be a better person.

even when you mess things up from time
to time.

All right.

Speak, then.

Oh, hi. Not sure we've met.

Lorraine Donegan.

The benefactor.

Tad Winton, friend of Jade's. Hi.

I've been helping her with the
presentation.

I was a music producer in her former
life.

Oh, right.

Well, you've done a good job. You must
be proud.

Nothing she didn't have a natural talent
for in the first place. Still, you gave

her the inspiration to do it.

Maybe you could come in and talk to the
rest of the kids sometime.

Spread that talent of yours.

Sure.

That'd be great.

It could even get you doing some
teaching.

I can't promise to match the kind of
salary you might have been used to.

Here you are.

Why don't you take my card?

Give us a call.

Have dinner sometime.

See what we come up with.

I'd like that, Lorraine.

A lot.

Yeah, it's strictly business.

You understand?

Of course.

Kaz?

It's not what it looks like.

Yeah, actually, it is.

What's going on?

I can't do this, Kaz.

I won't.

It's not fair.

What are you talking about?

Kaz and I are separated.

We have been for the last six months.

We just kept up the pretense for the
sake of the adoption.

Because you wanted... You wanted it so
much.

And I did too.

So you lied to me.

After everything I was going to do for
you.

It's not as bad as it looks, Jade.

We can explain.

I trusted you.

I don't know what you two think you're
playing at, but you're going to have to

get off the premises.

Jade. Now.

Jade, I know, but just please, just
don't worry, yeah? Everything will be

Looks like your secret plan fell
through, then. Rhiannon! Leave me alone,

Rhiannon, please.

Don't worry, I will, because you're
going to forget about us helping you

the baby after this. Rhiannon, shut it.
Leave me alone, I can't deal with it

right now.

Jade? Are you all right?

Is it happening?

Get out!

Go on, move!

Mr Budgin!

Get out! No, you don't understand! We
need you, it's Jade.

What's happened? She's ready to burst.

The baby!

Just remember to breathe.

In two, three, out two, three.

In two, three, out two, three. Where's
the ambulance? It should be here by now.

It'll be here in a minute, don't worry.

If the baby comes first, then what?

I can't, I'm not ready.

Well, it's definitely coming.

Just go and get some towels, Rhiannon.

And plenty of hot water.

You'll be fine.

Good girl.

Help me, please. Help me.

Hurry up. She's having a baby.

She's really young. She's never had a
baby before. She's in the library, all

right? Come on.

Looks like I might owe you an apology
for today. No sweat, miss.

Had to be in Woody Devoy with you.

Well, you proved me wrong, so I'm sorry.

You did well.

And those drawings were great.

You've got real talent.

Yeah? Yeah.

You know, that's the first time anyone's
ever said anything good about me at

school before.

Now I know you're taking the mic.

Yeah, of course.

Well, keep on track.

I like the new you.

See you tomorrow, mate.

Bye.

Is she all right? I just heard.

The power of marriage can look after her
now.

You can't let her go by herself. You'll
have to go with her.

Yeah, gladly.

I'll call Maggie, get her to join you.
Go on.

You'll be all right.

It went well.

May I have a presentation?

Right.

You okay?

Well, I'm not pregnant, if that's what
you're getting at.

Mr Byrne heard you and your friends
talking about it earlier.

What did he say?

That doesn't matter.

It's over between me and him anyway.

Sorry, Mum.

Don't be.

But you should have just spoken to me.

I hope you know you can any time.

I know.

About you and my dad.

You don't have to hide it anymore.

Hide what?

That you wasn't my real dad.

That you were ripped.

I heard you and Mr. Byrne talking the
night that Joe left.

But it's okay, I understand.

It's not okay. How can it possibly be
okay?

You were trying to protect me, I get
that.

But I don't care who my real dad is
either.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry I never spoke to you. I'm
sorry I didn't come to help. I'm sorry.

It's okay, Mum.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's

okay.

Jade Fleming. That was it.

Not exactly the end of the PRU
presentation you had planned, I guess.

No.

Sorry about that.

Don't apologise.

Nicky, you've done a great job. The
kids, they seemed really engaged.

Energised.

Well, hopefully it's just the beginning.

You stuck with it.

I admire that. I wasn't exactly the
PRU's biggest fan.

You don't say.

But if you can achieve these types of
results with a pupil like Barry, there's

hope for them all.

Boston bruiser.

Thanks, Lorraine.

Goodnight. Night.

She's had the baby and they both can be
fine.

So what now?

Do we get to keep it?

It's down to Jade, isn't it?

I don't see what choice she's got.

Oh, I can't wait.

It'd be so cool to have a cute little
kid around to play with.

Maybe for you, but what about Jade?

She needs to let me look after her. I'll
show her what's what.

We're not going to be around forever,
you know. We'll be around here at Scream

in the house, Dan.

This isn't just some toy you can pick up
and forget about whenever you want, you

know. It's a baby.

A proper commitment for life.

I know that.

So, there's no point us enjoying having
a cute little kid around if Jade don't

want it, is there? She doesn't know what
she wants. You saw what happened.

It seemed pretty clear to me.

She's amazing, Jade. Look at her.

Tried to feed her. She didn't like it.

Just takes a bit of practice, that's
all.

Get used to it.

Yeah, I guess I will. I haven't got a
choice in the matter now.

There's always a choice.

It's what you always wanted anyways. You
should be happy.

I was out of order today, Jade. I am so
sorry.

I've treated you really badly.

Yeah.

Same as them.

They faked the whole perfect couple
thing.

I wanted her to spend her first night in
the world with the people that were

going to bring her up.

Not stuck with me or pass around until
they found someone for her.

I know, Jade, that was wrong.

But I guess... I guess it proves how
badly that she wanted to be a mum.

You can't fake that.

Stick. Your mum not expecting you home,
Imogen?

Not for a while. She's pretty relaxed
about what I get up to, actually.

I'm going to stick, too.

Come on, twist.

Oh, that took me out.

21? Not enough for my killer moves, eh?

I have brains, I'm beauty, see?

I just think I'll give you two some
space.

I was actually about to walk Gummidgeon
home.

See you.

See you, son.

You've done all you can, love.

Thanks for calling.

I know how hard that must have been.

I'm not promising anything, but we'll
see.

I know it's a lot for you to take in,
Jade, but you need to think about this.

I can see now that you're not ready to
be a mother.

And I've had my go.

Will you see her?

For everything that happened today.

I really am.

Yeah, me too.

And if I could do anything to go back
and change things... Well, you can't.

None of us can.

Why couldn't you just be straight with
me?

Because you seem to want the perfect
home.

The perfect couple.

I don't think there's any such thing as
perfect.

Just good parents and bad ones.

She's even more beautiful than I could
have imagined, Jake.

You can hold her if you want.

What's on your mind now?

Nothing, why?

Because your father's had a word since
we set off.

Got me thinking you were going to accuse
me of being pregnant again. Give me a

weight complex.

Not the thing, promise.

I was thinking about you, actually.

And us getting married.

What?

Well, we love each other, right?

Yeah, but... So why not spend the rest
of our lives together?

As long as we keep it between ourselves,
yeah?

Just the two of us.

I thought no more secrets.

I just don't want anyone to come between
us again.

As long as we get to be with you, that's
all that matters.

I

won't

give it back.

I get used to this.

Maybe you should.

Get used to it.

You keep her.

She looks happy with you where she
belongs.

You won't regret this, Jade.

I promise.

I'll contact the agency.

As long as I'm not hated for it.

Of course not, pet. Don't be daft.

We will all support you, no matter what.

Do you want some time alone with her?

Because

this

isn't a goodbye, my little baby.

Just to see you soon, if that's okay.

Because when you're all grown up and
ready, I really hope you'll want to see

again that day.

Then I'll finally get a chance to say
how much I loved you and wanted this to

turn out some other way.

But the truth is, I'm just not ready.

I don't think I ever was.

And that's okay.

Because one day we can finally meet
again when I'm done with all my growing

here too.

And in the meantime, if I can find
someone else who loves you.

Even if it's just by themselves and not
us two, then surely that's the best

place for you to be right now.

And the right thing for me, and for you.

What's my name?

Say? You won't be playing in the march
this afternoon.

What? It's a serious night, though.

Waterloo Road are in the cup, I know
Casey Barry is not. Let me take you for

coffee. I'm just starting to be the
mother Connor Desair.

Let me just concentrate on that for now.

You're not like any other lad I've ever
met.

So you're a girl?

Did it say I was a boy? Well, you've got
to be one or the other. Look, you might

reckon it's his job to follow the letter
of the law, but it's mine to do what's

right by these kids.

Holmes,

don't do anything you'll regret.

I'm suspending you pending an inquiry
into your behaviour.
