Jack has a terrible decision to make. Cassie faces her greatest fear revealing she is HIV positive. Why is Aden so shaken by Cassie’s admission?

Extended Summary

Rachel is unconcerned when she learns that Tony took Jazz to his reunion, she trusts him completely, and is far more worried about whatever Sam and Jack are going through. And it seems that, with Jazz’s admission of defeat, there might even be the possibility of a friendship between the two women.

Having learned the depths that Sam can sink to, Jack has a hard time believing that she’s so conveniently pregnant at first. But it’s hard to argue with a pregnancy test, and as it sinks in that she’s telling the truth, he’s left with a decision to make more terrible than he could have imagined. As Sam takes Rory to stay at her sister’s and wait for his answer, Jack must decide if he’ll let Johnny Cooper’s murderer get away with it, or send his pregnant wife to jail.

Inspired by Miles candid revelation of his life on the streets, Cassie takes the massive step of coming out and discussing her experience of HIV with the students at school. While the experience is exactly the educational wakeup call she’d hoped it would be for most of the students, Aden reacts in a way she never could have imagined. He panics, and runs out. It’s then she remembers the accident during schoolies, when she tended to Aden after the crash, both of them with open wounds. Could she have unwittingly infected him?
