While Nate and Kat get competitive in the gym, Phoebe comes to meet Kat for dinner, which now won’t be awkward as Kyle is away. Later though, Kyle comes in to Angelo’s and bumps into Phoebe. He doesn’t want to talk but Phoebe tells him she knows what he’s been doing. She wants him to promise that he won’t do any more but he just tells her to leave so when Nate and Kat arrive Phoebe bails on them. Nate gets a call and goes to help Leah with Matt, who she has found passed out on the floor at home. Kyle tries to work out how much Matt’s drunk, but he doesn’t know. Nate sends him to bed to sleep it off.

Ricky, Ash and Kyle are discussing the new job that Gunno wants them to pull. Kyle insists that he has to do it. Phoebe tells Ash that she’s worried about Kyle. Ash ends up telling Phoebe that it’s his fault that Gunno is after Brax. Ricky explains why Kyle is on parole, Ash is surprised to hear about Kyle’s dark history. Kat finds Phoebe on the running machine, she’s trying out Kat’s idea of stress release but doesn’t find it helps. Kat suggests the punching bag and Kyle walks in, asks to speak to her alone and demands to know why she’s talking to a cop. It gets heated and Kyle grabs her – Ricky and Ash break it up. Kat sees everything. Ricky tries to talk Kyle down, suggests that perhaps Brax can look after himself and makes him promise to let it go. Ash finds Phoebe on the beach and tells her that he won’t let Kyle do anything else. He just wants Phoebe to keep quiet.

Ash jokingly accuses Kat of stalking him, and Kat asks if Kyle’s ok. Ash blames it on his breakup with Phoebe. Ash gets a call, which Kat listens in to and then overhears him leaving a message for Kyle which makes her suspicious. Ash tells Ricky that Kyle is doing the job, that Kyle lied. Ash says he’ll sort it. Kat asks Phoebe what’s going on with Kyle but she deflects when Nate walks in and quickly leaves.

Matt stumbles out of bed, Leah and Nate ask Matt if he remembers the night before but he resists their good intentions. Matt sits on the beach, drinking. He hides the booze when he sees Leah approaching. Leah tells him that he scared her, that she’s concerned. Matt pushes her away, acts as though it was a one off. Leah suggests that it’s because of his dad’s alcoholism, but Matt denies having an addiction. Later, Matt overhears Leah blaming herself for his problems, she thinks she’d have been more on the ball before the accident. He tells her it’s not her fault, and asks if the offer of help still stands. Leah tells Matt he has to hand over the alcohol and comforts a distraught Matt. Later on VJ finds Leah crying, she asks what it was like when she was in hospital. VJ says it was tough, and that he took it out on Zac, and even Oscar. When he asks why she wants to know, she says it’s nothing.
