Extended Summary
Carly is hysterical and explains to Tom that she has seen the guy who attacked her a while ago.
Down on the beach with Jeff Samuels (the sports teacher). Steven goes to beach and see Samuels and another guy. It is Jeff’s younger brother, Gary, from the city. Steven asks him a few questions and Jeff thinks Steven is bothering them. Steven yells at Gary that he’s the one who attacked Carly.
Steven found out that Gary was in Summer Bay around the same time as Carly was attacked. Gary said he had car trouble at that time. Jeff says to Gary that Steven is only accusing him just to cause trouble.

Gary goes to the Fletchers and speaks to Tom and Pippa to clear the air. Tom and Pippa are very surprised. Gary wants to meet Carly but Pippa doesn’t think she is ready for that yet since she is still so upset.
Narelle (Lance’s cousin) will be leaving Summer Bay as she’s moving.
Carly finds out that Gary talked to Tom and Pippa and gets even more upset.
