S02E06: Tom's indiscretion is made public

A week has passed since Izzie lost her baby, but Tom still hasn't confessed to her what happened with Stacey, as the school drama continues.

Izzie has returned to work but, following another attack in the area, is very protective of her two daughters, Chlo and Mika, and doesn't want them walking home on their own. The local police release a description of the attacker; he is of average height, with dark hair and a local accent.

Steph is delighted her influence is working when she sees Maxine return to school, and is beginning to feel valued again. But it looks as though Maxine's rogue boyfriend, Lewis, is trying to lure her back into her old ways.

Tom, meanwhile, is avoiding his pupil, Stacey, and could lose his job if anyone found out what happened between them. But it's not long before the indiscretion is made public, thanks to big mouth Janeece. Tom is hauled before Andrew and Kim, both of whom are appalled, and Izzie is livid when she finds out that Tom didn't tell her.

Elsewhere, Mika takes the plunge and finally admits her feelings to Brett.

Later, Jack summons Tom to his office and informs him that he may have to call the police as Stacey is only 15. He returns home to try to make amends with Izzie, but, as far as she's concerned, their relationship is over and she throws him out of the house.

Meanwhile, foolish Stacey is in deep trouble for her actions, and ends up walking home alone. And Maxine makes an accidental discovery which leads to the identity of the attacker – Lewis Seddon had been right all along.
