Eighth and final episode of Series 14
Synopsis[]
Schuey is remanded into youth detention after a court appearance where he pled not guilty. Looking on from the public gallery is a heavily pregnant Kim Campbell. During visiting time Schuey insists he is being framed and convinces Kim to investigate.
Kim approaches Steve at the school and senses something is amiss when she receives an earful about the way the school was managed under her stewardship. During the memorial being held for Boz, an increasingly fragile Billy, who is being haunted by visions of the dead boy, makes his way to the school roof to confront his demons. When Steve arrives, Donte is witness to confessions from both father and son. Though he initially allows them to flee the school, Donte has a change of heart, telling Kim that he knows Schuey is innocent and that Billy murdered Boz. Donte and Nicky, unable to see eye to eye on the matter, call an end to their relationship but agree to remain friends. Kim catches Steve trying to run away with Billy, but convinces him to do the right thing, bolstered by Billy who expresses wanting to tell the truth. They are both arrested and Shuey is released.
Preston is studying for an Oxbridge entry exam despite it being his 18th birthday. When Samia and Kai turn up for a surprise party, he realises the only future he can imagine is one with Kai in London and that going to Oxbridge isn't actually what he wants. Kelly Jo tells Samia that she will be leaving Waterloo Road to take up an apprenticeship working with young adults like herself in the community. The teens celebrate the next chapter of their lives together at Preston's party.
