Maddy receives devastating news about her chemotherapy. Andy takes a big step in tackling his reading issues.
Extended Summary
With plans for the Colour Run well underway, Oscar arrives to help, but is met with hostility by Spencer, still angry with him for dumping Maddy when she needed him most. Irene and Chris order Spencer not to make the Colour Run about his issues, and Irene sends him up to Sasha’s old bedroom to sleep it off. Meanwhile at the Farm House, Hannah encourages Oscar to be the bigger man – the most important thing is that they both want to help Maddy. As Chris argues for Spencer to stay in Sasha’s old bedroom permanently, they run into Oscar and Evelyn, and Spencer apologises for his behaviour. For Maddy’s sake, Oscar forgives him, and they shake hands. Maybe the Colour Run has a chance…
Worried about her condition, Maddy cuts herself off from her friends, despite gentle advice from Roo and Alf to keep them in her life. But when she runs into Spencer, Chris, Oscar and Evelyn at the Diner, it’s too much, and she rushes out, unable to spend even a moment with them. Oscar’s concerned, but Evelyn thinks he just needs to wait until the dust settles. But when Evelyn finds Maddy at the hospital, Maddy admits that her problems are bigger than everyone thought – the chemo isn’t working.
Embarrassed about his reading difficulty, Andy tries to study for his Personal Trainer qualification by himself, but he can’t handle it, and admits the truth to Josh. Josh feels guilty for not picking up on it and helping him, but Andy takes the responsibility for his own problems, and goes to Hannah, apologising for his outburst, and explains that he hates feeling like a five year old in front of her. Andy meets Josh again, and convinces him to help him study; Josh’s only condition is that he won’t go easy on him. Is Andy finally getting the help he needs?

What has Josh got himself into?
