Extended Summary

Phoebe turns up on Hannah’s doorstep to tell her what she just found out – Kyle has already slept with someone else. Hannah tries to convince her to stay and talk but Phoebe needs to figure out what to do next. Hannah checks up on her the next morning but she seems to be in better spirits. She comments on how Hannah seems to have it all sorted – the relationship, career, home… unlike Phobe. Meanwhile, Chris decides to head to John’s place and set up for a bloke’s weekend for the two of them. But when John arrives, he tries to gently tell Chris he needs to focus his attention on Marilyn & Jett as they’re coming home soon. Chris, dejected, heads to the diner to ask Irene out for lunch but she’s too busy as well. Chris then goes to Phoebe at the caravan park and she confides that she’s thinking about leaving the Bay. Chris ends up talking her around and convincing her to stay, finally feeling of value to someone.

Matt returns to the Bay. Maddy finds him on the grassy knoll and he reveals he’s been at an alcoholics rehab retreat for a few days. He says he needs to apologise to Josh & Evie but doesn’t know how so Maddy decides to help. She gets Matt to set up a meeting with Josh & Evie at Angelo’s and Maddy goes with him. After trying to avoid the subject with pleasantries, Matt finally apologises to Josh & Evie the best he can. He knows they were just trying to help him and he acted like an idiot. Matt tells them he really values their friendship and hopes that they’re all good now? Josh accepts this and agrees they’re all good.

Hannah tells Josh & Evie about Andy moving in, but still seems unsettled by the situation. Her concern is fuelled further when Hannah has a steamy dream about Nate. She wonders if Andy moving in is what she really wants. She debriefs with Phoebe and discovers the dream probably wasn’t about any lust for Nate, but about her feeling suffocated. She didn’t have much of a say in Andy moving in so now she just feels tied down. Phoebe asks if Hannah still wants to be with Andy? Of course she does! Hannah says she loves Andy so she’ll just ignore it – they’ll work it out.

Leah’s still hiding from her unknown illness, deciding to google her symptoms. She ends up going into the Diner to try and distract herself, but she snaps at Chris for no reason. Irene tells her to sit down for some lunch but Leah insists she’s fine. She’s trying to push Irene away but Irene says if there’s something wrong with Leah she shouldn’t run away from it. Leah storms out and, unbeknownst to Irene, heads straight to the hospital. Upon seeing Nate, Leah breaks down and admits she’s not herself and she’s scared. There’s something wrong with her but she doesn’t know what it is.
