S04E06: Donte launches a boxing venture

Having applied to be an emergency foster carer, Matt Wilding may be biting off more than he can chew with his first ward, Sambuca Kelly, as the drama set in a Rochdale comprehensive continues.

It's not long before her reprobate dad, Reynold, pitches up wanting Sam to stay with him. However, it's all part of his secret plan to get back in with Rose, and he's incensed when Sam wants to continue to stay with Matt. Reynold and Earl Kelly take their revenge on Matt's flat, warning Sam that, unless she returns home with them, Matt will receive similar treatment.

Meanwhile, Donte has launched his latest venture, Donte Charles Boxing Promotions, and has organised an underground match between Waterloo Road, represented by Bolton Smilie, and a rival school. With Donte's debts spiralling out of control, the boxing match offers a quick way to earn some cash. But can he continue to keep the teachers in blissful ignorance of the illegal match?

Back at the Kelly household, Rose appears resigned to having Reynold back in her life, even though she knows he's bad for her and the kids.
