In August 2019, Hope is referred to a specialist school due to her disruptive behaviour and is home taught by care worker Jade Rowan, who moves in with Fiz and Tyrone. Jade begins to orchestrate incidents with the intention of letting the blame fall on Hope in order to cause a rift between her and Fiz, while manipulating Hope into thinking she is on her side. Jade is later revealed to be the daughter of John Stape and has been attempting to avenge his death, feeling that Fiz caused his downfall and that Hope is not safe with her as a result. She enlists the help of social services in order to have Hope taken away, lying that Hope has been physically abused by Fiz at home.
