Second episode of Series 6.
Synopsis[]
Ruby, now cured of her medication habit, reunites with husband John to try for a baby, but her age goes against her. New headteacher Karen Fisher is clearly in her element at Waterloo Road and is joined at the school by her husband, Charlie, who is starting as a supply teacher. However, when 15-year-old Harry finds a suspicious message on Charlie's mobile about a lunchtime meetup in a graveyard, he begins to suspect his dad is having an affair. Harry dials the number on the text and is shocked to hear new Spanish teacher Cesca answer. He desperately enlists Sambuca's help and they follow Charlie on his lunchtime rendezvous. Together they spy on Charlie with Cesca, taking a photo as evidence. When Harry later tells Karen, she refuses to believe him and assures him that it must be innocent. Jess, annoyed that Chris, on whom she has a crush, is getting on with Karen, publishes a piece in the school newspaper blaming Karen for the disappearance of her other daughter Bex some years earlier. With tension running high in the Fisher home, Harry turns to bulimia.
