Seventh episode of Series 6.
Synopsis[]
Harry's bulimia reaches crisis point under the stress of bullying and his parent's separation, while the tension increases between Ruby and a heavily pregnant Janeece. Elsewhere, Waterloo Road hosts an Interschool Debating Contest, giving Ruth a rare taste of popularity. When Finn discovers that Harry has sabotaged his plans for Jess to sleep over, he exacts revenge with a day of relentless bullying and chances upon Harry purging in the toilet. Events reach a climax when Harry sinks to the bottom of the pool during a swimming lesson, a cry for help that leads him, Josh and Finn to Karen's office. When Harry is finally forced to reveal his condition, Karen is left questioning her role as a mother. Josh and Finn are suspended, though Josh turns against Finn and Jess punches him. Ruth deliberately loses the debating contest to prove to her father that she is not perfect and it is won by default by Ronan, despite him doing a public striptease in order to win a bet by losing it. Janeece, accompanied by Ruby, is rushed to hospital where she gives birth to a baby girl.
