Summary
Grantly struggles to cope when Fleur's health deteriorates, and after a heart-to-heart with Maggie, he hands in his resignation so he can spend more time with his wife. Grabbing her from the nursing home, he heads off to a country cottage near where they honeymooned in a desperate bid to jog her memory. Back at school Trudi's world is plunged into crisis by the discovery she is pregnant, while Nicki challenges Tom to be more honest about Josh's mental health issues
Review
With his cynical disenchantment, political incorrectness and sarcastic put-downs, Grantly Budgen is the one member of staff who can make you smile. Or maybe wince. Not this time, though. In the most poignant episode since Sambuca Kelly died from cancer, Grantly realises that he should spend more time with wife Fleur, who has Alzheimer’s.
“It’s like seeing someone disappear in front of your eyes. Every day she forgets something until… she’ll forget how to function,” he explains… eventually. Typical of Waterloo Road’s men, it takes him a while as he’s kept his personal problems to himself until now.
