Fourth episode of Series 6.
Synopsis[]
Tensions are running high at Waterloo Road as the Fishers struggle to stay united on the annual celebration of Bex's birthday, as Jess disagrees very much with the whole birthday idea. In addition, the arrival of a new gay student sparks confrontation and unearths some difficult truths. Reluctant to return Lauren's advances, an increasingly confused Josh directs his frustration towards new student Connor with a homophobic insult. But a much deeper issue is revealed when Josh tries to kiss Finn, who is disgusted with his friend's behaviour and quickly spreads word of it throughout the school. Following a fight, the two friends are forced to explain their actions to Tom and Charlie. However, Josh denies the kiss ever happened, much to Tom's relief, and later tries to prove everyone wrong by getting physical with Lauren. Vicki finds it hard juggling school work with looking after her sick father, and tries to blackmail Chris into giving her better grades after Jess has told her about their one-night stand. Janeece suggests that the Frys adopt her baby, and Karen invites Marcus Kirby to teach at Waterloo Road.
