Episode 8.04 (Original airdate: 13th September 2012)
Imogen has a secret to share with Connor, Christine and Connor’s relationship goes from bad to worse, rival headmaster Gerard makes false claims against Michael, and Sian reaches out to Michael’s estranged father, Billy.
It’s Imogen’s birthday but, unlike her attention-seeking mother Sally, she doesn’t want any fuss. At school, Imogen’s horrified to discover her fitness guru mum is helping with Tariq’s rowing fundraiser. And, worse still, Sally’s lycra-tight outfits and flirtatious manner draw attention – especially from Gus who bets his school mates he can score with the older woman.
Jealousy rears its ugly head when Christine witnesses a closeness between Connor and Imogen. Worried Connor might be confiding in Imogen about her drinking habit, Christine snaps at her son. But Connor retaliates – he’ll make his mother’s life a misery if she doesn’t back off.
Later, at Imogen’s party in the school house, a tipsy Sally turns up uninvited. Sensing Imogen’s shame, Connor asks Sally to leave. Feeling protected, Imogen reveals her hidden secret to Connor.
Also this week, Connor and Christine’s relationship is strained after she refuses to forgive him for slapping her. Upset and angry after another confrontation, Connor finds a dangerous outlet for his frustrations.
Elsewhere, Havelock High’s Gerard Findlay attempts to cause a storm of controversy falsely alledging Michael assaulted him. Taking matters into her own hands, Sian seeks out Michael’s estranged father, Billy, to set the record straight. But opening old wounds proves painful.
