S04E20: Ralph hatches a revenge plot

It’s the end of term and everyone is excited about Waterloo Road being in the final of North West Schools Choir of the Year competition. However, Flick seems subdued and reluctant to draw any attention to the lyrics she wrote for the song…

Back at the school, a loved-up Eddie is totally gobsmacked to find Melissa waiting for him. He’s in for a further shock when Melissa reveals she’s pregnant, the baby is his and she wants him back! Eddie desperately tries to reassure Rachel that this doesn’t change anything between them, but Rachel isn’t so sure.

Meanwhile, back at the choir competition, events have taken a turn for the worse as it becomes apparent Flick stole the lyrics for the song. Rachel decides to save the reputation of the school and withdraws them from the competition. Matt’s gutted and can’t bear for all their hard work and effort to go to waste. Can he and Steph pull out the stops and re-write another song in time to still take part?

Elsewhere, another disaster strikes as Ralph Mellor turns up at the school. He’s desperate and reeling from being served by a restraining order from Flick. He’s lost his job and his daughter, and blames Rachel for his situation.

Ralph, ordered to leave the school premises, heads straight for the pub, his mind working overtime as he hatches a plan to take his revenge. Drunk, he steals a digger from a nearby building site and heads for the school…
