Extended Summary
Hannah’s still facing off with Sean’s wife, Emma. Hannah explains that she didn’t know he was married before it happened and Hannah never would have gone there if she knew Sean had a wife. Emma finds this hard to believe. Hannah pleads with her not to say anything to Andy but Emma simply says she needs to pay for her mistake.
Zac is giving Charlotte, the new teacher, a tour of the school. He starts introducing her to the students as they go and Matt gets uncomfortable when they get to him. He quickly gets out of there, still not believing that he slept with a teacher. Meanwhile, VJ & Jett are discussing his move away to boarding school. VJ mentions that Leah is quite sad that Marilyn is leaving too, which gives Jett food for thought. At Irene’s place, Leah, Roo, Irene & Marilyn are all debriefing about the news that Marilyn & John are moving. Irene questions if Marilyn’s sure this is the right decision. The others chime in as well, saying it seems like Marilyn’s reluctant to leave. Marilyn admits that its hard to leave your home and your friends of course, but Jett is the most important thing in her life so she’s going. The others wish her luck, but it’s clear Marilyn is having doubts.
Down at the beach Hannah approaches Sean. She calls him a pig and a serial cheater and Sean guesses she’s been talking to his wife. Hannah tells Sean that Emma is on a war path and Hannah’s worried she will tell Andy about the affair. As tensions rise, Andy walks up on the way to work. Hannah walks away with Andy, trying to keep her calm. Back at home, Evie sees Hannah’s sullen mood. Hannah explains that Sean’s wife knows about the affair and might tell Andy. Evie is adamant that if Andy finds out, it has to be from Hannah.
Back at school, the bell rings in Biology class and Charlotte asks Matt to stay behind. She’s annoyed he didn’t mention that he was a student last night, but he counters, she didn’t mention she was a teacher either. She insists they keep it a secret but Matt’s in no rush to tell anyone. It would cause problems for him too. They’re curt with one another and agree their liaison stays between them.
At lunch time, Josh goes to collect his camera that has been set up for a time lapse for his art project. He notices Sean and Emma in frame further up on the pier and they’re arguing. Josh can’t quite work out what it’s about but it’s clear Emma is mad at Sean. Could his camera have recorded something? Meanwhile at the diner, Marilyn, John & Jett are having lunch as Irene asks John what he’ll do for work after he moves. John says he’s an entrepreneur and will get work easily! Irene jokes that he’s far from an entrepreneur. Jett becomes worried that John will have to sell his business before they move. Jett is noticing more and more sacrifices that John & Marilyn are making to move with him.
After school, Leah talks to Zac about how weird Matt is acting. She feels like he’s avoiding her and the pair decide it’s time to talk to Matt. They invite Matt to move back in with them. He’s surprised at the sudden offer but Leah insists that she’s over her surgery and they miss having him there. Matt gets talked around and agrees to move back in. Meanwhile, Josh tells Evie he has to stay back to edit his video together for art class. He mentions seeing Sean and his wife at the pier and that Emma slapped Sean. Evie feigns ignorance but as Josh leaves it’s clear keeping this lie is taking it’s toll on Evie. That evening as Josh goes through his footage from his camera that was set up on the beach, he sees something with Hannah and Sean. He turns up the audio, rewinds and watches…he hears Hannah talking about sleeping with Sean.
Jett has invited John & Marilyn to dinner at Angelo’s. Jett opens the conversation by telling them that he is going to boarding school alone. John and Marilyn immediately think it’s something they’ve said but Jett assures them he’s just positive that they need to be in Summer Bay, their home. He knows he’ll have to tackle life on his own sometime so it may as well be now. John and Marilyn can’t argue if this is what Jett wants. Jett knows this is where John & Marilyn belong.
Matt returns to Leah & Zac’s house with his things, ready to move back in. As Zac helps him inside, Matt sees Charlotte in the living room. Leah mentions that she’s staying for dinner. Matt just can’t seem to get away from her. VJ stares at Charlotte for most of the dinner; he clearly thinks she’s hot. Charlotte then gets a call, which she takes outside. She tells the caller that she hasn’t spoken to him yet, as she looks through the window at Zac. Who is she talking to and what is she keeping from Zac?
Sean turns up at Hannah’s and tells her that Emma isn’t going to keep quiet. Sean suggests she tells Andy before someone else does. Hannah resolves to tell Andy. Meanwhile Josh is at Angelo’s waiting for Evie. When she turns up, he’s in a surly mood. She asks what’s up and Josh says Hannah’s cheated on Andy. Josh admits he saw Hannah & Sean talking on his video. He can’t believe she’d do this to Andy. Evie’s silent. Josh turns to her and sees it in her eyes. He asks, you knew didn’t you? Her silence says it all. Josh storms out. Soon after, Hannah shows up at the gym. She sees Andy sitting in the corner and says “I need to talk to you”. He holds up Josh’s video disc – he needs to talk to her too.
