Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, do ya do ya do ya know what you’re doing? It doesn’t look like it in this dramatic penultimate episode of the high school drama. The Waterloo Road cookery teacher’s day starts badly because she’s served with a demand for a divorce from her husband, John, when all she really wanted was a nice cup of coffee. Perhaps she’ll get that at school. Or perhaps not. Already feeling frazzled, Ruby is put under more pressure by Head Teacher Rachel, who tells her she has to come up with a recipe for a successful school prom. Rachel doesn’t know that Ruby isn’t firing on all cylinders, but she’s about to find out. Rachel announces that she is engaged to tasty school chef Adam – the guy Ruby secretly adores. Unaware of Ruby’s feelings for him, Adam proudly shows her the wedding cake he’s baked for Rachel. Hope he’s got enough ingredients for another one because, once she’s alone, jealous Ruby smashes the cake to crumbs. Then she turns to the drugs she’s been using to get her through the scrambled mess of her life. Trouble is, she’s run out of pills and goes into meltdown. Steph’s another problem staff member. She’s created a calendar to raise money for the prom. That’s fine – but the pictures are of naked teachers!
