Extended Summary

Evelyn finds Mason on the beach, and their old chemistry returns as he offers to take her for a drive. When they pull up to find the garage closed, Evelyn suggests they restart their friends with benefits agreement – and they quickly move into each other and start kissing. Soon after, Matt arrives to find them scrambling to straighten their clothes. As Evelyn heads off Mason moves in to kiss her goodbye, but she subtly avoids him.

Zac and Leah’s reheated relationship inspires John to do something romantic for Marilyn. Lost for ideas he turns to Chris, who suggests writing her love letters from a secret admirer. He thinks the anonymity will give her a thrill, but she’ll still know they’re from John – because who else would send her love letters, right? John reluctantly agrees to let him take care of everything.

Ellie’s dyslexia has been diagnosed, and friends and family rally around her. Zac tells Ellie he’s hired Evelyn as a teacher’s aide to give her one-on-one tutorials. But the attention is making Ellie feel like a freak. Despite Evelyn’s enthusiasm, their first tutorial is a disaster. Ellie is uncooperative, lazy and rude, before she finally storms off.

Olivia is still reeling from Tabatha’s latest round of cyber bullying. Hunter’s encouragement gives her the strength to ignore it and return to school, but she discovers Tabitha has created a fake Facecloud profile to turn even more students against her. Determined to help, Zac calls a special assembly and shines a light on the dangers of cyber bulling, giving the mean girls a reality check.

At the Diner, Chris and John secretly plant Marilyn’s love letter. Although flattered, Marilyn insists it couldn’t possibly be from John – it’s not his style. Leah then wonders if perhaps she really has a secret admirer? Marilyn thinks it’s probably just a silly prank. But Leah feels the letter was too heartfelt for that, and points out that Chris has been acting strange – maybe he’s the one with the massive crush?

Meanwhile, as Matt works away Mason’s car, he tries to get the lowdown on his feelings for Evelyn. Eventually, Mason comes clean and admits they’re actually friends with benefits. Matt warns him that someone usually gets hurt.

Back at the school, Olivia receives a surprise apology from one of the mean girls. Zac reports that he spoke to Tabitha’s parents and made sure the fake Facecloud profile was removed, and has contacted the police. Olivia’s finally relieved – it’s over!

Ellie lies to Matt about her first tutoring session with Evelyn, telling him that she was mean, pushy and walked out on her. Matt calms her down and finds Evelyn with Mason. He confronts Evelyn over how she treated Ellie. Mason defends Evelyn but as Matt walks away, Evelyn tells Mason to stop acting like her boyfriend, leaving him stunned.
