Ninth episode of Series 6.
Synopsis[]
When Chris launches a trial scheme to equip the classrooms with CCTV, there is uproar among both staff and pupils. Jonah is outraged when he learns that the staffroom doesn't have a camera, and, along with Ronan, hatches a plan to expose the hypocrisy of the scheme, unwittingly stumbling upon Jess's and Chris's secret in the process. Stunned at his discovery, he promptly insults a bewildered Jess before launching himself at Chris in the middle of the corridor. As the pair desperately try to cover up the truth from Karen, Chris realises he must stop running from the truth. As Karen is faced with a massive decision, Marcus Kirby delivers a shocking further ultimatum to her. What will Karen do? Elsewhere, through the aid of Jonah and Ronan's planted CCTV camera in the staffroom, Grantly's shocking home life is exposed to the Year 11s, who taunt him about it in class, and push him to his wits end. Desperate for help, he seeks the aid of a former colleague after she is called in by Ruby, and must decide where Fleur's future lies. Ruby persuades Grantly that Fleur would be better off in a home and he reluctantly agrees after she fails to recognise him and thinks Steph is her mother. Janeece runs away with Poppy and the Frys sadly feel that she should be allowed to keep her.
