A loved-up Eddie's day is hijacked when Danielle Harker's irate father tackles him on the issue of home-schooling. And when Aleesha decides to interfere, what starts off as a healthy debate about home tuition versus state education soon becomes a domestic dispute. Later, Rachel is shocked to hear that Eddie and Melissa's relationship has taken a dramatic step forward. Elsewhere, love is in air for both the staff and pupils at Waterloo Road as Jasmine turns up the heat on her flirting with PE teacher Rob Cleaver, while a show of solidarity takes Maxine and Earl's relationship to the next level. Chlo and Donte receive some life-changing news - but while Donte is ecstatic, Chlo isn't so sure... Also, Philip seems to be hiding a secret that threatens everyone's plans.
