Ash and Phoebe butt heads over their living situation. Hannah warns Nate about getting too close to Ricky. Charlotte has a stalker and finds another note – someone knows her secret.

Extended Summary

Charlotte confronts Josh at the beach, thinking he’s the one who slipped the note under her door last night, assuming it’s about her & Matt. Josh tells her it wasn’t him; he wouldn’t risk getting Matt expelled. Clearly someone else knows her dirty little secret. Josh later runs into Matt at the surf club and tells him about Charlotte getting a note under her door. Matt immediately goes to Charlotte’s and asks her about it. She shows him the note and asks if Matt let it slip to someone else other than Josh? Matt swears he didn’t. Matt’s pretty worried but Charlotte tells him not to; she’ll take care of it if anyone makes trouble.

There’s a house meeting at the farmhouse with Kat and Hannah ganging up on Ash. Can he put the toilet seat down, not leave dirty dishes in the sink… Ash asks for Phoebe’s help but she’s the one that called the meeting. Phoebe promises to make some room for Ash in her closet if he cleans up his stuff. As she finishes cleaning out her clothes, Ash wants to run off for a surf. Phoebe is annoyed; he needs to clean up his mess first! Phoebe wants him to make more effort, starting with the bedroom. Ash takes this cheekily and leans in for a kiss. It’s hot and cold with these two!

Hannah goes to pick up Ricky for Boot camp but she’s forgot, distracted by constant texts. She rushes to get ready as Kyle comments she’s been glued to her phone for days. Meanwhile, Nate receives a text from Ricky and smiles. Kat meets up with Nate and his phone beeps again. Kat comments it’s been going off a lot lately. They meet up with Kat’s friend, Pete, who’s in town for a photo shoot. As they’re talking, Pete gets a call about his models not showing up for the shoot. Pete’s stressed, saying there’s no time to reschedule. Then Pete looks to Kat and Nate and gets an idea…

Nate and Kat are anxious about agreeing to be models for the photo shoot. Kat runs off to freshen up at home leaving Nate by himself. Nate immediately texts Ricky with the news. Hannah comes in and laments to Nate about Ash & Phoebe’s constant up and down moods with each other. Nate sympathises and tells Hannah about the photo shoot. As Nate pays his bill, Hannah sees a text from Ricky on his phone. Hannah asks how they’re going. Nate says they’re good as friends. As he runs off, Hannah’s not certain there isn’t something else going on.

Ash is collecting food to make dinner for his new housemates (on Phoebe’s demand) when he runs into Andy. What is it with chicks telling you what to do all the time? Andy sees trouble in paradise and suggests maybe it was too soon for Ash to move in with Phoebe. Ash brushes this off, saying he loves Phoebe. Andy counters that he loved Hannah but it was still a big mistake moving in with her. When Ash is at home preparing an elaborate pork roast, Phoebe walks in. She thanks him for the effort but seeing the mess, wonders if he’s punching a bit high. Then she sees the grocery receipt and goes ballistic – he’s just blown the budget! Ash is annoyed he’s not getting credit for all the effort he’s making but Phoebe brings up that he STILL hasn’t cleaned their room up of his stuff. Ash can’t get a break.

Someone is watching Charlotte as she meets up with Hunter. They walk off to grab a pizza as the mystery man, sitting in his car, continues to watch them… who is he and what does he want?

Pete is briefing Kat and Nate about how the shoot will go just as Ricky, Kyle and Casey turn up for moral support. Kat thanks them but wonders how they even knew about it. Then Kat gets a call from the station; she has to go in for work. She apologises to Pete, who’s down trodden. The shoot is based around a couple and can’t work without a woman. Kyle cheekily volunteers Ricky for the job. Ricky laughs but Pete lights up and pleads with Ricky to do it. Kat encourages her and Ricky reluctantly agrees to step in. Kat runs off as Ricky whispers to Kyle, she’s going to kill him!

Phoebe is still snapping at Ash over everything he does cooking dinner so he asks – What’s really going on? Phoebe admits it’s stupid with them fighting all the time. She thinks maybe she invited him to move in because she needed a punching bag to get over what happened with the babies. But she can’t expect him to be able to fix everything. He understands and Phoebe asks, if maybe he should move out again? Ash smiles; he thought she’d never ask.

Andy pulls up Charlotte – is she still sleeping with Matt? Charlotte doesn’t deny it, just says she can take care of herself. Andy insinuates Charlotte is using Matt to make herself feel better – Charlotte thinks Matt knows the deal. Andy warns he won’t be around to pick up the pieces when this hits the fan. Charlotte is smug and doesn’t seem to care.

Hannah shows up at the photo shoot to watch and notices Kat’s missing and Ricky filling in. She checks in with Nate and tells him to be careful; she can see what’s going on with him and Ricky. All the texts and now this shoot. Nate denies it’s anything more than friendship but Hannah is firm she doesn’t want anyone to get hurt. Will Nate listen?

Charlotte comes home to fine her place covered in dirt and leaves. She finds Denny’s diary on the kitchen bench with a page ripped out. Someone’s been in here. Anxious, Charlotte heads to the site where she buried Denny. As she walks up to the spot she spies a note. It says… “I know everything”…
