Extended Summary

Jade and Nick have finally got their act together and are offically going out. Who would have thought leather pants and purple hair would help Jade snag her man? It was a casual dress day at school and Jade rocked up to school in a rock-chick outfit. She had boys clamouring for her attention. Nick wanted to speak to her but seemed intimidated by her new appearance. They were finally alone and worked things out. Nick also told Jade she didn’t have to dress up to impress him, and that he liked for who she was. This was a relief for Jade! The only person who wasn’t happy about it was Simone. She’s become really close to Jade and is getting to know Kirsty. Anyway, they were going through a ‘who needs men’ stage until Simone found out Kirsty and Jade had made up with Seb and Nick. Simone thought they wouldn’t want to hang out with her anymore, so she was genuinely surprised when Jade asked to be friends.
Simone’s anti-men attitude might have something to do with her mother. Simone’s mum dropped by the DIC and started talking about her ex-husband (Simone’s father). Shelley thought Simone’s attitude perfectly reflects her mother’s, so she’s had a word to her about it.

Hayley’s worrying about Noah and what he thinks of Robbie. She’s been doing everything to compensate for falling for someone else. Noah’s been cheeky and has asked her what’s going on. She’s worried that he’ll see her photos and see the one of her with Robbie, then there could be some questions asked.

Flynn and Sally are going on a date. Flynn has showed up with rope and climbing shoes!
