Leah and Zac’s house is too full so Nate moves into Irene’s. Andy covers for Charlotte and Matt. Roo is offered a job lecturing, but will she take it?
Extended Summary
While Hannah eats at home alone Leah continues to quiz Charlotte and Andy about their ‘relationship’. Leah enquires as to whether Hannah knows about them. They ask her to keep it quiet, saying they don’t want to hurt Hannah but after Leah leaves Charlotte thanks Andy for covering for her and Matt. Charlotte tells Andy that she didn’t know Matt was a student at the beginning and that she’s broken up with him. Matt walks in and after Andy leaves Charlotte and Matt have a quiet but heated discussion full of threats. Matt arrives home in a bad mood and goes to his shared room, while Leah and Zac discuss the strange phenomenon that is Charlotte and Andy as a couple.
The teens squabble about the new living arrangements, Nate walks in and Zac prepares to tell him about his new housemates. The teens continue to fight and Zac ends up splitting them up and Nate decides to go out. By the time Leah gets home things seem calm. While Nate takes refuge at the diner he gets the bonus of Irene offering him a room at her place.
Charlotte talks on the phone, reassuring the person on the other end of the line and telling them she misses them. She slips a baby photo into her purse.
The next morning Nate thanks Leah and Zac as he leaves to move into Irene’s place. Matt seems to be the only one not making the best of the full house as everyone has breakfast and cheerfully plan a BBQ to welcome the newcomers.
Heading for the beach Zac, Evie and Oscar bump into Hannah. It’s awkward, but Evie apologises and there’s a tentative reconciliation. As the twins go to get juice Zac breaks the news to Hannah that Andy’s moved on, in an attempt to save her from hearing it elsewhere and she’s blindsided.
Irene and Nate discuss the highs and lows of living with Chris. Irene tells Roo that her admirer is back and Roo goes out to find James waiting for her. Leah bumps into Andy and apologises for asking them so many questions, then invites Charlotte and Andy to their BBQ. Andy tries but fails to back out of it. Charlotte can’t believe Andy accepted the invitation and they discuss how to pull off acting normal in this unusual situation…
Alf asks Roo about James. She tells him that she’s been offered an exciting lecturing position, but feels unprepared for it. Alf congratulates Roo and encourages her to take it, telling her to stop over-thinking and just do it.
Andy and Hannah bump into each other and have an awkward conversation where Hannah congratulates him on his new relationship. Andy tries to explain but can’t without giving anything away.
Charlotte and Andy arrive for the BBQ, much to Matt’s horror. After a couple of awkward questions things settle although Matt’s making himself very scarce. The twins thank VJ for putting up with them moving in and the banter about who will share a room continue. Charlotte goes to talk to Matt under the pretence of going to the bathroom and asks him what he’s doing. They have a whispered discussion where Matt reminds Charlotte that he still has the photos on his phone. Evie walks in on them and they quickly join the others for lunch, but not before arousing Evie’s suspicions. VJ and Oscar notice Evie being strange and she tells Oscar what she saw.
Outside, Charlotte tries to talk to Matt again, telling him that he has to delete the photos, they could ruin her career. He refuses, and she tries to snatch the phone, hitting out at Matt but he’s too quick for her. He grabs her wrist and shows her that he has the upper hand, then stalks off leaving her wondering what he will do next…
