As the series progresses, Waterloo Road launches a new school radio and beloved pupil Danny uses it as a way of moving forward with his life by showing his teachers that he's serious about his education after his past mistakes.

Myles ends up alienating his classmates, pupils and even his mum, resulting in the frustrated schoolboy lashing out and starting a fire at the school.

As the teachers try desperately to save those trapped inside, they become aware Danny and Samia need help.

Both Samia and Danny are rescued but the latter rushes back inside the burning school when he realises an injured Myles is trapped.

The budding footballer manages to escape but Danny is caught up in an explosion.
