Kim left for Rwanda at the end of the second series with Andrew. However, she later returned series 4 bringing with her a baby daughter, Grace. At first it seemed Grace was her own daughter, however Kim later confessed to Steph that she took Grace from Rwanda illegally. Since she returned, Kim has had many arguments with deputy head Eddie Lawson over their opposing views. Eventually, Immigration became suspicious of Kim and made an appointment to look around her home; Steph however had taken Grace away while the investigation was taking place leaving Kim in the clear. This was not to last as the officials stepped up their investigation and eventually found Grace at Waterloo Road while Kim was helping Chlo to deliver her baby; a distraught Kim watched on as Grace was sent away, presumably back to Rwanda.
