Plot[]

On 4th January 2007, BBC One began advertising the second series as coming soon. It began airing on BBC One Scotland on 14th January 2007 and in the rest of the UK on 18th January 2007.

The series featured the return of Lorna, following her attempted suicide at the end of Series 1 (she was not seen jumping into the water until the beginning of Series 2). This came as a shock to Tom and Izzie, who were expecting their first child together, until Izzie lost the baby after falling over during an argument with Lorna. Lorna realises Tom isn't the one for her, and that her MS and her career are making her life too stressful. She walks out of the school partway through a lesson. She re-unites Izzie and Tom, before committing suicide rather than living on with MS. In the last episode of the second series, Izzie sees Jack being attacked, and she gets stabbed trying to intervene. With only Jack there with her, and no one around, Izzie dies in his arms.

Other notable storylines in Series 2 of the show include the arrival and departure of prospective school benefactors Roger Aspinall and Jerry Preston, drug addict Maxine Barlow, who Steph Haydock accommodated, the (unrelated) drug dealing by Ma and Jed Seddon, the alcoholism of trainee teacher Russell Millen, and the bullying of Mika Grainger by fellow pupil Leigh-Ann Galloway.
