Mr Chalk's Waterloo is the fifteenth episode of Series 8.
Synopsis[]
Daniel is annoyed that Kevin went behind his back to enter - and win - a contest to design a robot. Disharmony between the two leads Kevin to log onto Daniel's computer and find that Daniel changed his name from Gareth Dinsdale, following a sex scandal at a care home. Kevin initially believes Daniel to be a paedophile, but discovers that he was one of several boys abused by the home's supervisor whilst in care. A contrite Kevin vows he will help Daniel in his court case against his persecutor. Rugby star Austin Healey comes to the school to present Kevin with his prize, but troublemaking Barry Barry, in another petulant display, persuades Rhiannon and Dynasty to lace cakes made by Sonya for the occasion with marijuana, sabotaging the event. Connor admits to Michael that he was the arsonist, and soon the whole school knows as Connor makes a public apology before being arrested.
