Extended Summary

Evelyn catches up with Maddy, who’s just seen her and Tank together. Maddy decides to let things go for the sake of their friendship and her and Evie have a reconciliation of sorts. Meanwhile, Zac and Leah discuss Tank’s story about his father, Greg, hitting him. Leah thinks it’s just a way for him to get Evie back but Zac is unsure. They decide to talk to Evie. When they get home, they find Oscar. Oscar quickly suspects they are looking for Evie to talk about Tank. While Leah and Zac are certain they don’t want this relationship to continue, they believe Evie is a smart girl and won’t do anything stupid. Oscar scoffs and Leah asks if there’s something they should know. Oscar reveals that Evie slept with Tank without using protection.

Zac is fuming and wants to rip Tank’s head off. Leah tries to talk him down as they work out what to do with Evie. Zac wants to come down hard on her but Leah fears it will only push her further away. They decide to talk to Evie like an adult. Meanwhile, Evie and Tank are smitten at the diner. Tank admits to Evie he’s never felt like this about anyone before. He’s also planned a surprise for her. He rushes off to get things ready as Evie heads to the beach. She then runs into Leah and Zac. They try to tell Evie that Tank is lying about his father hitting him but Evie won’t accept it. They question her about the morning after pill and she gets defensive. Zac warns that they want her to stop seeing Tank. Evie, angry, says it’s not up to them and storms off. Leah and Zac are left exasperated.

Maddy is telling off Oscar for dropping Evie in it with Leah and Zac. She knows Oscar is worried but suggests he’s blowing this out of proportion. Oscar counters that Evie isn’t herself. She would never sleep with a guy she’s only just started going out with. When Maddy points out that her and Oscar slept together quickly, Oscar puts his foot in it by saying it didn’t mean as much to Maddy as it would for Evie. She’s more experienced. Maddy knows he’s insinuating she’s easy and leaves, upset. Oscar can’t believe what he’s done. Matt spies him at the surf club and asks what’s up. Oscar explains himself and Matt smiles; Oscar’s an idiot. Oscar begs Matt to talk to Maddy for him. Matt’s tries to get out of it, not wanting to perpetuate his own feelings, but Oscar pleads until he relents. Matt goes to talk to Maddy and helps smooth things over. Maddy’s hurt that Oscar sees her like that. Matt tells her honestly that all he sees is a strong minded chick who isn’t afraid to be herself. Maddy is cheered up but Matt is left with his feelings of longing for Maddy renewed.

Evie is debriefing with Tank, still furious with Leah and Zac. Tank comments that they’re just like his dad, always trying to control everything. Then Tank distracts Evie by showing her the surprise. Tank has gotten a tattoo of the letter ‘E’ on his arm – for Evelyn. She’s taken aback; it’s so permanent. Tank counters that he’d do anything for Evie. Evie can’t help but fall a little more for him. Then he tells her he’s got a plan for getting Leah and Zac off their backs.

Charlotte is checking Denny’s Facecloud page where Evie has left a message. She’s becoming overwhelmed at having to continue the charade so pours herself a drink to calm her nerves. As Charlotte stares at her reflection in the mirror, contemplating what she’s done, she sees something. It’s Denny – staring at her. Charlotte turns but there’s no one behind her. She sees Denny again it the mirror. A ghost… taunting her. Charlotte screams to leave her alone and throws her glass at the mirror, smashing it. Clearly Charlotte is beginning to unravel.

Evie comes home and calmly apologises to Leah and Zac about before. She explains that she’s realised Tank did lie about his dad hurting him, and she’s decided on her own to stop seeing Tank. She thanks them for looking out for her and then says she’s heading off to the library. Leah and Zac don’t believe it for a second. Leah suggests they just keep an eye on her. Evie runs straight to Tank. She shares that she thinks its went ok, but she hates having to lie to Leah and Zac. Tank convinces her it’s the only way. Then Tank says he loves her. Evie’s surprised and happy, saying it back.

Oscar finally gets Maddy to meet him. She’s still upset. Oscar apologises and explains that he never meant to hurt her. Maddy points out that only girls are ever pulled up for their sexual promiscuity, called things like “easy”, never boys. It’s not fair. Oscar agrees. He tells her he loves her and Maddy melts a little. They make up with a kiss just as Matt walks in, torn to see them reunited after feeling closer to Maddy.

Andy turns up at Charlotte’s to see if she wants to grab some dinner. Charlotte is distant and Andy notices the smashed mirror so he asks what’s up. Charlotte says she’s struggling with all the bad things she’s done. Andy asks if it’s about covering for Hunter with the fire? Charlotte, not wanting to revealing too much, drops it. Instead Charlotte throws herself at Andy, hoping for a distraction. But Andy rebuffs her so she throws him out. Later, Charlotte finds Matt and quickly seduces him instead.
