Sixth episode of Series 14
Synopsis[]
Boz's absence from both school and his care home has not gone unnoticed. When the police escalate it to a missing persons enquiry, they question Schuey, who denies Boz being a close friend and remarks that it's not unusual for him to go AWOL for days at a time.
Billy, unable to handle the guilt, is slowly unravelling, and even Steve is buckling under the pressure with constant flashbacks to the night of Boz's death and his part in disposing of the body. When the police return to inform the head that a corpse has been found in the canal, Steve has to identify the deceased.
The impending closure of the local youth centre has Kelly Jo on the warpath. She ambushes the local MP, who is on a visit to the school to promote a higher education outreach programme with her petition. When this fails to yield results, Kelly Jo lures the MP to the centre under false pretences, and tries to impress on her how great a loss of the facility would be to the community. Admiring Kelly Jo's grit and determination, the MP offers to put her forward for a scholarship to university. Noting the MP's impotence, Kelly Jo has other thoughts on the matter.
After Steve announces Boz's death to the school, Billy allows Schuey to attack him once more. The police begin to suspect foul play may have had a hand in the demise of Boz.
