A revisit to Heartbreak High has shown just how cutting edge this piece of Australian television was for its time. The episode centres around a gay teacher whose ethics are questioned due to a misunderstanding with a student. This quickly opens the door for discussion of other underlying themes in the plot such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion and racism. The show manages to examine these themes and build a significant level of emotion with it, culminating in a moving finale that unites all.
