Summary
Michael is back as headmaster and still determined to prevent Lorraine from turning the school into a fee-paying academy. However, she is far from impressed when she gets wind of his takeover plans with the local authority - leading to a confrontation that ends in a momentous decision. Lula's campaign against Nox Pharmaceuticals reaches a shocking conclusion, while Carol has an idea to bring the warring Barry family back together
Review
Despite half the staff having gallantly trailed up to Scotland to keep Waterloo Road school going, Lorraine Donnegan issues them with an ultimatum: sign up for a post at the fee-paying Institute of Excellence or collect your P45s. There are a few surprising responses but the biggest surprise of all is who’s appointed new head teacher. Because, with the sound of appreciative applause from the students ringing in his ears (it all gets horribly sentimental), Michael Byrne finally walks out through the gates for the last time.
Meanwhile, Lula gets carried away with her anti-vivisection crusade and Dynasty’s mum wades into the argument over her daughter’s choice of boyfriend.
