Seventh episode of Series 3.
Synopsis[]
Expecting he will be appointed the new headmaster, Eddie is displeased to find out that the governors have installed an outsider by the name of Rachel Mason, who has plans to turn the school into a business enterprise college, as it has more chance of success than being academic-based. The pupils warm to the idea and enjoy playing at being entrepreneurs. Mika, still upset at Chlo's disappearance, gets drunk and throws up in front of Rachel, who is surprisingly sympathetic. Tom finally locates Chlo, who is living with a couple who encourage her to steal and engage in mild prostitution, and brings her home.
