Extended Summary

As Ash and Phoebe bicker playfully over his mechanic skills, they find Hannah on the verandah, distraught after telling Chris that Andy kissed her. Meanwhile, Chris arrives home and updates Irene, admitting he’s worried that Hannah doesn’t love him, and thinks he should end it before he gets hurt. At the farm, Phoebe thinks that Hannah and Andy are a better match. Hannah doesn’t want to be with Andy, but can’t deny that Phobe has hit the nail on the head.

Evelyn and Andy agree to stay positive after Josh’s slight improvement. Both are keen to stay at the hospital with Josh overnight, but Evelyn convinces Andy to go home, and settles in for more study beside Josh, still on life support.

The next day at the diner, Roo gives Phoebe a flyer from the school advertising a music tutor position. Phoebe scans it, her interest growing by the minute.

At Irene’s, Chris brushes off his problems with Hannah by focusing on his Bronze Medallion test. Irene orders him to stop avoiding his problems with Hannah, but he’s saved by John, picking him up for the test.

Andy arrives to visit Josh, finding Evelyn tired and weary. As she goes to leave, Evelyn’s final dregs of energy drain away and she collapses to the floor, passing out.

On the beach, John takes Chris through the test instructions, when Hannah arrives with a special Chris flag. But things are still awkward, so John jokes that Hannah be the swimmer that Chris rescues. But Chris rejects the idea, leaving Hannah stung. Chris begins his test, with Irene, John & Hannah watching on.

Evelyn is examined and diagnosed with dehydration and exhaustion. Andy and Evelyn make a promise to look after themselves and each other, bonded by their love for Josh.

Phoebe, dressed in a rock chick outfit, asks Ash for a lift to her job interview. Ash is concerned that this look will not help her get the music tutor position, but Phoebe’s confident – she wants to present her real self, and if Principal Snelgrove doesn’t like it, the role will never work.

Chris pulls the surf life saver to land, and John announces triumphantly that he has earned his Bronze Medallion. Chris is stoked, but when Hannah wants to speak to him, he tries to ignore her. Hannah’s had enough, and gives him no choice but to face the music.

Phoebe’s nervous as she waits with Ash for her interview, and he tries to give her some tips. Principal Snelgrove arrives and is taken aback by her outfit. She’s nervous, and gets her bracelet caught on his sleeve. As they begin the interview, Phoebe takes a deep breath, trying to stay calm.

Hannah’s frustrated that Chris keeps shutting her out, forcing him to reveal his fear that she may cheat on him, like she cheated on Andy before they were together. Hannah can’t believe that Chris thinks that lowly of her, and she storms off.

Greg is satisfied with Phoebe’s credentials, but when he begins to discuss dress code, Phoebe takes offence, and lashes out in defence of her right to wear what she wants without being judged. Ash tries to help her, but Phoebe just insults Greg’s tie, and makes a hasty exit, well aware she’s stuffed up royally. Back at home, Ash consoles Phoebe about how the interview went, when Greg arrives and offers her the job – she knows who she is, and will be a strong role model for the students. Phoebe’s ecstatic, accepting the role, and proud of she got it by being herself.

Andy finds Hannah outside the Surf Club, upset that Chris thinks she’ll always be a cheater. Andy thinks it’s all his fault, but Hannah admits that she’s the one to blame, and will always regret what she did to him. Andy goes to Chris and takes full responsibility for kissing Hannah. He doesn’t want Hannah to get hurt, and tells Chris he’s got to stop blaming her and fix things, or he’ll lose her. Chris apologises to Hannah, and explains that he’s still insecure because he thinks she’s too good for him. Hannah forgives him, but something has clearly shifted between them – is the damage permanent?

Back at the hospital, Andy sits with Josh, when suddenly his eyes start to flicker. Andy can’t believe it – Josh is waking up!
