Suffering from a stab wound, Tank’s wheeled into hospital, straight to surgery. Zac feels guilty, explaining to Greg what’s happened to his son. Josh and Evelyn are stunned to learn Zac is involved with Tank and has dragged him back into their orbit. Driven by Evelyn’s level of distress, Josh confronts Tank in hospital.

She tells Zac in no uncertain terms she will never forgive him.
Meanwhile, VJ’s under the illusion that pretending to date Skye is making Billie jealous. As part of the facade, VJ kisses Skye in front of Billie and Oscar, thinking it’ll make Billie jealous. Skye feels used and storms off while Oscar, who knows what’s going on, thinks it’s time Billie spoke to VJ. Oscar counsels Billie to let VJ down gently and she takes his advice, rejecting VJ. Feeling down, VJ apologises to Skye for taking advantage of her, and they bond, admitting they’re best mates.
Oscar invites Billie to join him on a night out with his uni mates. Is this the beginning of a platonic friendship, or something more?
