Jack later corners Barry in the bathroom and attacks him with a baseball bat but he is saved by Tom and Nikki.

In Episode 17, Barry, along with the rest of the PRU, deliver a presentation to the school about the PRU. Barry says a few kind words about the teachers and he seems genuinely appreciative of what they have done for him. He is specifically thankful to Sian and Michael for not giving up on him.

In Episode 18, Barry sees an opportunity to make some money from the inter-school football match versus St. Dominic's. Knowing Kacey is the star of the football team, he asks her to throw the match while he collects bets for Waterloo Road to win. Barry's plan is foiled by Sian, who returns the money to people who betted. Barry is later furious when he finds out that Kacey is going through a gender identity crisis, refusing to accept her wanting to become a boy.

In Episode 19, Barry breaks into Sian's house before school. He steals an old photo of her and Michael kissing from when they were were dating, and a pair of her knickers. Barry and the rest of his family later attend a counselling session led by Sian about Kacey's gender identity crisis. Nothing is resolved. As the day continues, Barry becomes increasingly sexually threatening towards Sian. He photocopies the photo of Sian and Michael he stole earlier in the day and covers the walls of the school with the copies. Sian brings Barry into her class in an attempt to humiliate him in front of the lower year group. As Barry continues to crack jokes in front of the class, Sian loses her temper and begins insulting him. He takes the pair of knickers he stole from her out of his pocket and throws them at her and Sian immediately slaps him in the face as the horrified class watch on. Barry wants to get Sian sacked but the entire class backs Sian and lies for her. Carol arrives to back Barry up and Sian tells her the truth and informs her that she has resigned.

In Episode 23, Barry arrives at school with Steve-O Malone, Dynasty's ex-boyfriend who has just been released from prison on parole. He and Steve-O work together to extort money from many students. Barry also sees him as a criminal mentor of sorts, collecting money on his behalf and allowing him to borrow his car. Later on in the episode, Steve-O mocks Barry about Kacey (now Robbie) and the possibility of her having a sex change; he attacks her and pulls her trousers down while Barry looks on. Barry also informs Connor that the car payment money he owes is now due to be paid to Steve-O as he has taken over Barry's loan sharking business.

In Episode 26, Kevin Chalk hatches a plan to finally get rid of Steve-O by killing him; he tries to get Connor to help him with his plan but Connor is sceptical. Kevin thinks they should ask Barry to get them a gun. Connor, still very unsure of the plan, meets with Barry before Kevin has the chance to and explains what Kevin wants to do and the reason for it, that Steve-O raped Dynasty. Barry refuses to help.

Barry later goes to ask Dynasty if what Connor said is true, to which she lies and claims it is not true. Barry, who can tell when his sister is lying, has a change of heart. He meets with Kevin and tells him in the afternoon he will leave a gun at the docks.

In the afternoon, Kevin and Connor arrive at the docks. Kevin locates the gun box only to find that it's empty. Steve-O appears behind them with the gun and holds them at gunpoint. He tells Kevin that Barry told him about the plan as Barry emerges from behind Steve-O, appearing to have been on his side all along. Kevin, in a fit of anger, shouts at Steve-O and tells him that Dynasty doesn't love him and she never will. Steve-O pulls the trigger but the gun is empty. He turns to Barry and realising he has been set up, attacks him; Barry wrestles him to the floor as sirens are heard in the distance. Barry tells Connor and Kevin that this stays between them and that he had nothing to do with what just happened as he flees. Connor, Kevin and Steve-O are all arrested.

In Episode 27, Dynasty has decided she wants to move into Kevin's flat but Barry is unhappy with this. He tells Kevin that they both want the same thing, to look after Dynasty. Kevin refuses to back down from the idea of them moving in together and says that he will tell the police about what really happened at the docks. Barry punches him and says that he was in on it too and just as guilty as him. Barry becomes upset when Dynasty arrives and tells him herself that she is leaving.

In Episode 28, before the start of school, the rest of the Barrys get into another verbal altercation with Kevin about him and Dynasty that concludes with Barry smashing an egg over Kevin's head. Carol and Barry later hatch a plan to bring the debate to Julian Noble's TV show, a show where they sort out family drama.

In Episode 29, the day of the Barrys and Kevin's appearance on Julian Noble's show Noble Thoughts has arrived. Tensions run high as Carol and Dynasty shout back and forth before Kevin is brought out and Barry also later takes the stage.

The boys' team, led by Barry, decides on house clearances to win the event. To stop the girls' team winning, Kevin and Barry attempt to sabotage their cake sale, and do so by turning off the ovens.

In Episode 6, Barry once again attempts to collect gambling money, this time for Kacey's boxing match. He tells Darren to inform everyone that Kacey is a better boxer than her opponent and that she will win so they bet on her. Barry knows that Kacey will lose however. Grantly Budgen speaks to Barry after his English lesson and puts £50 on Kacey's opponent to win, but Harley Taylor, who was angry with Grantly at the time, lies to him and tells him that Barry threatened the other girl to lose. Grantly later switches his bet to Kacey. Barry gives Grantly's £50 to Kacey to put towards her sponsorship.

In Episode 8, during the Waterloo Road history day, Barry senses an opportunity to make some quick cash. First, he and Darren sell "contraband" crisps to hungry students for an extortionate price. Later on when they go into the forest to scavenge for food for lunch, Barry and Darren run away from the rest of the group and collect magic mushrooms, which Barry wants to sell. They eat the mushrooms to make sure that they are legit and begin tripping out in the forest before being found by Simon and returning to school. Not wanting the teachers to find their stash, they hide the mushrooms in the school garden. Their mushroom trip ends after Darren vomits on the Director of Education, Robert Bain. Darren and Barry are both taken to the medical room and then to hospital.

Barry later goes to the docks where he is given a duffel bag, with stacks of cash and passports inside.

In Episode 18, the day of Barry's big job finally arrives. Dynasty returns home from her police interview and becomes suspicious of Barry's bag. She looks inside to see the contents and is concerned. Barry returns home soon after and he agrees to drop her to school in his van which he has for his job. Barry gets a phone call, and says to the caller that he will go to a warehouse at the docks, and Dynasty questions him about it, still concerned about what she saw in the bag. He brushes her questions off and heads to the docks.

Dynasty, concerned with what Barry is doing, heads to the docks herself to find out. She opens his van to find that it is full of women, all of whom don't speak very good English, but one of them says that they are going to work in a hotel in Liverpool. Dynasty tells the women that this isn't true and they have to run away. Barry arrives and Dynasty tries to reason with him to let the women go but he refuses, physically pushing her out of his way before getting in the van and driving off. Dynasty calls the police on him, and later tells Carol what Barry has done. Carol tries to call Barry and leaves him a tearful voicemail. As Carol's voicemail is played, we see Barry being hauled out of his van by the police and arrested for human trafficking. This is the last time we see Barry.
