Extended Summary
Rachel and Tony discover Miles has been bashed on the beach and rush him to hospital. After an exam and some painkillers, he’s cleared – his injuries aren’t too bad. But he has no idea who could’ve done this to him. When being interviewed by Watson, the only person they can think of that could be responsible is Ian Radcliffe. Watson agrees to look into the situation, but finds that Ian has an alibi. Romeo runs into VJ at the Diner and senses something is up with the boy, getting VJ to admit he knows who bashed Miles. He tells them it was Riley Radcliffe and his friends, they swore to get Miles. Miles is thrown by the revelation that a bunch of 12-year-olds beat him up. He visits Riley, and when he sees Riley’s sneakers, realizes he really was the one who beat him up.
Nicole has her last HSC exam and she’s looking forward to being finished with school and the muck-up day that comes with it. At the end of her exam, she’s met by an adoring Liam at the Diner with flowers. But she’s given no time to enjoy the moment, as she’s informed that Miles has been bashed. Upon seeing him, she wants to be there for him, wanting to blow off the muck-up day party. But Miles won’t let her, he insists she go. On her way to the party, she runs across Aden, and the two bury their differences, only to be attacked with water pistols, by students on muck-up day. Aden and Nicole then share a light moment on the beach where Aden picks up Nicole and drops her into the water. Later, still soaking wet, they finally talk about what’s been going on – realizing much of their anger with each other is tied to Belle.
There’s no love lost between new housemates Liam and Aden. Liam is planning a special dinner for Nicole that night, and he wants Aden out of the house. Liam’s looking forward to it, and when his student hits on him during a lesson, he’s quick to shoot her down – he’s seeing someone and she matters to him – a conversation that Aden overhears. But Liam is unable to contact Nicole all day, he keeps leaving messages and she doesn’t call him back. Dinner prepared, he waits for hours in the candlelit house, only to discover Aden and Nicole coming home together, having spent the afternoon together. Liam is left upset – is this how she treats him?
