Head Of Extended Services Melissa Ryan has organised a drugs awareness initiative with voluntary tests for the senior year pupils. But school governor Ralph Mellor has his own agenda and plans to use the tests to get Marley Kelly kicked out of the school and, therefore, moved away from his daughter, Flick. And he's determined to get what he wants – even if it means tampering with the results... Ralph's hatred for the Kelly family knows no bounds as he becomes hell-bent on destroying them, even putting in a call to Social Services, which could have devastating results for the Kellys. But Ralph fails in his plot to split up Marley and Flick, who's particularly delighted and heads to meet Marley after school. Flick is madly in love with Marley - but he has some shock news that's going to leave her heartbroken...
