Seventeenth episode of Series 7.
Synopsis[]
Michael tries unsuccessfully to discover the sender of yet another email, and, after the local press expose his salary, is comforted by Sian, whom he tells of his break-in. A new teaching assistant, Greg Barrington, arrives and quickly gets Tom to tell him his grievances about Michael. However, he is an undercover journalist out to discredit Michael, and is exposed when, during a stressful classroom situation that a real teacher would have been able to deal with, he utterly loses his cool and punches Tariq to the floor in full view of Tom. After yet another argument, Vicki and Ronan decide to call it a day, whilst Matt is attracted to the joys of fatherhood when Rosie announces her pregnancy. Sian arrives at Michael's house saying she wants to leave Jez and rekindle her affair with the head. They kiss, but are observed by Linda, who is displeased with Michael after he accused her of employing Greg without checking his credentials.
