Kat’s insecurities get in the way of a relationship with Nate. Andy and Hannah’s attempt at being spontaneous turns bad.
Extended Summary
After spending the night with Nate, Kat skips out on breakfast, so he tracks her down to check that she’s not using him. Kat tells him she isn’t, but does set some ground rules – if they keep it casual and no-one finds out, she’s in. But it’s not long before Irene, Chris and Marilyn start speculating and interrogating her, leaving her no choice but to shut it down – she won’t be able to do her job without respect from the locals, and being with the town doctor won’t help that. Nate tries to convince her that she’s overthinking it, but Kat won’t be swayed – it’s over.
With a heavy dose of cabin fever, Hannah’s desperate to get out of the house and enjoy herself, despite Andy’s concern that she’ll push herself too hard. When Nate comes over for a check-up, she begs him for news of the outside world to tide her over, but it’s still not enough. Hannah tells Andy that she needs to do something spontaneous, and against his better judgement, Andy takes her for a dinghy ride in the Bay. Having fun for the first time in ages out on the water, the boat suddenly capsizes, and Hannah’s nowhere to be found. Andy frantically searches for her, and submerges again – but has this accident cost him his girlfriend?
Unable to help Phoebe overcome her fear of Ryan, Kyle goes to Kat, and tells her that Phoebe needs more details about what’s happened to him, in order to get closure. Upset by Phoebe’s torment, Kat goes the extra mile, and visits Phoebe, delivering her concrete information about Ryan’s punishment – he’s going away for 7 years. Phoebe’s overwhelmed, finally hearing what she needed to, so she can live her life again.
When Chris pushes his gentle ribbing of Kat’s rumoured romance too far, she threatens to arrest him for defamation. But with Marilyn now convinced that Chris was onto something, he’s forced to change his tune. Has Chris started something that he won’t be able to finish?
