Romeo and Dex hang out together, but Romeo isn’t happy when Dex returns soaking wet. Leah feels guilty after a night with Jamie, and confides in Liam that she thinks he is coming on too strong.

Extended Summary

Sid is anxious about Dex overtiring himself. Romeo offers to help with Dex and convinces Sid to let them hang out alone. Dex is relieved when Sid leaves them to have some male bonding time. Romeo asks what’s going on between Dex and Sid, and Dex confides in him that he feels constrained by his dad’s expectations, combined with the limitations placed on him.

The pair go out, and Dex explains how hard it is to function after the accident. He’s frustrated that people don’t have faith in him. After a long day, Romeo wants to head home, but Dex is determined to stay out as long as possible, but is unaware that he’s wet himself. As he tries to impress some girls, Romeo pushes him in the water so they don’t see the stain.

When Sid picks up Indi’s roster from Liam, Liam is just pleased to see Sid out of the house, and suggests he take a break and hang out. He assures Sid that Romeo will call if anything goes wrong. While Sid offloads his problems onto Liam he receives a call from Romeo.

Romeo soon arrives at the Diner with a sopping wet Dex, leaving Sid furious. When they get home, Dex tells Sid that he’s grateful to Romeo for the last two days, and that he wants more freedom. Later Sid apologises to Romeo, and thanks him for letting Dex have fun. He is glad Sid made him realise that Dex needs him.

Liam quizzes Leah about her night with Jamie. Leah is embarrassed about her one night stand, and is worried about VJ’s reaction. She receives flowers from Jamie at her work, and Roo and Irene want to hear the details, but Leah avoids it. She’s anxious about Jamie’s intentions. She talks to Liam, telling him that Jamie was upset she wouldn’t let him meet VJ, and she feels like he’s a bit full on. Liam tells her not to push Jamie away.

Throughout the day Leah receives more expensive gifts from Jamie, increasing her discomfort even more. He leaves her a note saying he’ll pick her up at eight o’clock, even though the pair never agreed on a second date. That evening Jamie calls and Liam lies for Leah, saying she’s out. He agrees that Jamie is a bit too full on. As they leave the room Jamie sends another text. He wants to meet Leah tomorrow.
