Extended Summary

Leah, Zac & VJ are moving on after Leah’s decision not to go ahead with the operation. She’s decided to go back to work. VJ is positive she seems like her old self again but Zac is unsure if she’s ready. When Zac finds Leah not sleeping he questions her again. Leah gets angry that he’s not supporting her, he’s the only one causing her to lose confidence! She blows up, saying she won’t go back to work then, just as VJ overhears. The next morning as Zac & VJ are discussing Leah’s wellbeing, Leah turns up at school. What happened to her deciding not to come to work? It seems Leah’s forgotten all about her outburst. VJ & Zac worry at what this means.

Phoebe’s debriefing to Hannah about her confrontation with Kyle. She’s not really up to doing this gig she has tonight. Hannah reminds Phoebe that it’s her first professional gig in ages, then offers to come along and be her “no.1 groupie”. She promises a night free from guy troubles for both of them – Phoebe thought things were settled with Hannah & Andy? Hannah quickly dismisses the subject. Meanwhile, Denny arrives at the share house for her first date with Ash since they got back together. She mentions Phoebe’s gig to Ash, which Kyle overhears. He asks where it is then, deciding he needs to clear the air with Phoebe, Kyle rushes out – this could be disastrous. Ash & Denny decide to go to the gig to support Phoebe. Billie, feeling left out, decides to tag along as well.

Andy & Oscar are hanging out at home, having a boys night. Oscar asks why Andy didn’t go with Hannah to the gig. Andy explains he’s trying to give Hannah space, to let her hair down a bit. But Oscar can’t understand why she needs to do that without Andy. He suggests Andy go to the gig and surprise her.

At the gig Hannah welcomes Ash, Denny & Billie. She takes Denny aside and tells her how thrilled she is that her & Ash are back together. Denny clocks Hannah’s great mood and suspects she’s had a few drinks already. Soon Kyle turns up as well and heads straight for Phoebe. She can’t believe he’s here, now, when she’s about to go on to sing. Phoebe’s soon killing it with the crowd and decides to introduce a new song, singing about too much pressure too soon. The song seems to be directed at Kyle.

Denny’s a little worried about Hannah going all out tonight, dancing up a storm. She’s only just recovered from her spinal injury. Ash tells her she’s probably being overprotective but soon Hannah’s being hit on by some bloke. She turns down the offer of a drink but later on is dancing flirtatiously with him, just as Andy walks in. Andy sees her and walks straight out again, crushed, without Hannah noticing. When the bloke gets a little handsy Hannah pulls away but Ash decides he needs to step in and warn the guy off. Testosterone pumping, it looks like there’s going to be a fight, but just in the nick of time Chris swoops in and talks the random into meeting a pair of twins that Chris has been chatting up! Hannah apologises to Phoebe for almost causing a punch up at her gig but Phoebe is dismissive, Hannah was just having a bit of fun. Denny & Ash take Hannah home to Andy where she promptly falls asleep, not giving Andy a chance to ask her about the guy. The next morning Andy tells Oscar not to mention to Hannah he went to the gig last night, without saying why – he’s decided to act as though he saw nothing.

At the end of the gig Kyle tries again to talk to Phoebe and apologise for hurting her. Phoebe is so furious but Kyle points out that it’s not like she’s never made any mistakes. Phoebe says she thought breaking up with him may have been one of those mistakes, but it’s clear now it wasn’t. She tells Kyle that they can’t be in each other’s lives anymore, not even as friends. It’s really over and he needs to leave her alone.
