Waterlulz Road S6 EP12: Not Another Schizo Storyline

In another one shot episode that the series writers seem to love doing, we had a new one off character called “Billie Taylor” (no relation to me, God no) is a young mother who’s returning to school after popping out her sprog with obvious tension between the pair. It’s makes sense that Janeece takes an interest in the girl’s welfare because of obvious reasons and not because she just wants more screen time. Billie is convinced that her mother was trying to take her baby away from her with Janeece visiting Chris about this and he didn’t want to hear any of it. Although, this did set up a comedy moment for the show (serious one, of course) with Chris hearing Cheryl and thinking she were in the draw.

“No way, it’ll be too cruel to keep a baby in the draw.

...but I do have one in the stationery cupboard” 

Chris weren’t too impressed by this and ordered Janeece to take her baby to the crèche and she trotted off in her high heels with her boobs wobbling. Side note, is it just me or are her breasts getting bigger? 

Anyway, Janeece wants to help out and marches into Jenny from Tracy Beaker’s office with all guns blazing about the baby and Adanna isn’t fazed at all by her claims and neither is Chris. Despite this, Janeece is willing to help out Billie’s baby issues and takes her back home to talk about it.  So Billie and Janeece do indeed go to her house and Billie’s mother is concerned about Billie’s behaviour and how it’s been over the past few months and says the “a word” and it all kicks off with Billie attacking her. Crikey, that’s the most emotion we have seen from this robot!
 Bleep Bloop Beep Beep 
Billie’s mother storms off to the school and accuses her daughter of attacking her, but Janeece denies the claims.  While the mother is fuming, Billie nicks her baby and goes off for a wander leaving the staff to look for her and Janeece having to admit she lied about Billie not hitting her mum with diet Kim understandably mad. Billie is however found and in a controversial way as well. She’s seen recreating Michael Jackson’s infamous moment when he dangled his baby over the hotel balcony when greeting fans. With Chris, Adanna, Janeece, Billie’s mum and a whole crowd on the scene, Billie claims that voices are telling her to drop the baby and thinking that her baby is going to taken away from her. Well, of course your baby is going to taken away from you if you’re going to do that, you daft sod.  She hoops off the hospital and she’s been diagnosed with a mental illness. Another one beats the dust, then.

This is something I don’t like about one shot character focused episodes. This new student with no reference to in the past pops up seamlessly out of a universe full of one shot characters and then manages to stroll into school and have people go “Oh hai X, how are you?” and then characters are suddenly related to her, they know her and of their issues. Then when X character has a massive hissy fit, he/she gets taken away or buggers off and then characters sigh and move on. Perhaps this is because this sort of drama is so common, it’s a day of the week or is it because all the characters in this Waterloo Road universe have amnesia? They all probably all get their minds erased by men in black suits, telling them to stare at the object and let it flash and then they wonder what the bloody hell just happened. It’s all a blatant conspiracy. 

Hell yea, Men in Black movie reference!

There’s a hunch that Nate and Josh will getting some in future episodes (although it all kicks off with Nate’s dad next episode!!) after Lauren pointing out the signs that Nate might fancy Jos after how fast the pair got on well and became close very quickly. Finn sees this chemistry as well as Lauren so he’s all sadface over not having sheep haircut as a buddy anymore. Nate turned up at Josh’s house while Finn and Josh were playing some FIFA with Finn didn’t want to get in the way so left the pair at it. When their session ended, Nate asked Josh if he had any more games they could play upstairs. You dirty, dirty boy, Nate. But props on the chat up line, though, £5 in the post for you.

There’s concerns for Grantly’s welfare with Ruby and Tom concerned about him. Grantly isn’t really fussed about his lifestyle and doesn’t need help, but after getting Tom to nick Grantly’s house keys, Ruby saw how bad his lifestyle really is. His house looked like a teenager’s bedroom and Ruby decided to clean his house, leaving cooked dinners and gathering notes from Fleur and placing them around the house to remind him of the good times they had before she left for the nursing home. Ruby you lovely woman. 

Chris was in charge today after Karen was away for some reason and he thought it would be a good idea if Finn and Hay Stack kissed and made up without the “kissed” bit so they don’t lock eyes and scrap at each other everytime they’re in the same room. Of course, all his ideas go tits up and this one is no different. The pair still don’t like each other and their rivalry continued at football training during an exercise where two players jogged together and had to pass to the other with him shooting with Finn smacking the ball right at Kyle causing yet ANOTHER stand off between the pair. Only 2 episodes and the amount of fights there have been so far is just amazing.  Nice one Chris, what’s your next idea, giving fish fresh air?

After that hug last week between Jonah and Cesca, there’s obvious chemistry between the pair after some one on one lunchtime Spanish lessons. That’s not an euphemism for sexual healin’, but after Cesca invited him to a lunchtime session place Jonah’s hand on her throat so he could feel how Spanish people say certain words and an unprofessional exchange of phone numbers, there’s potential sexytimes ahead for the pair. But then again, next week’s preview looks like Jonah will get into a spot of bother after getting a slap from Cesca for attempting to kiss her, it’s not really Jonah’s fault. I mean, when Jonah texted “I love Spanish!” with the reply “Spanish loves you!, that is in no way leading someone on, right? Mind, if I had an obviously attractive Spanish teacher like that, I wouldn’t mind “tapping that”, you know what I’m sayin’?
