S04E03: Rachel gets a shock

Davina's reputation at Waterloo Road is at stake, as the drama set in a school continues. She is is accused of racism by a Maori supply teacher, Maaka Lacey, with an alternative approach to teaching. Their relationship rapidly deteriorates and, with just her word against an experienced teacher's, will she be able to clear her name?

Tom, meanwhile, is unable to keep his struggle with the Kellys out of Waterloo Road when a determined Earl pushes him to breaking point at school, leading Tom to question his future as Head of Pastoral Care. He suffers a further blow when Chlo and Donte announce they are selling the family home – the Kellys have driven them out.

On top of a testing day for her teachers, Rachel receives a shock that leaves her reeling when she learns that her sister, Melissa, and Eddie are an item. Rachel struggles to hide her true feelings.

Later, an ill-thought out lie from Steph to save her from the clutches of Security Dave spells the end for Grantly's marriage, and Maxine is pulling the wool over Steph's eyes when it comes to her relationship with Earl.

Tom and Davina decide to buy the house from Chlo and Donte. However, there's a nasty shock in store when they return home – a dead bird is lying on their doorstep. Earl has been busy again...
