Extended Summary

As Ash passes Kat on the beach, he checks if she’s been thinking about getting her job back. Kat dismisses the idea, but Ash is left unconvinced.

Struggling after being the target of Tabitha’s cyberbullying, Olivia finds Hunter and explains that the incident has brought past memories of when she was sexually abused by Kirk in the UK to the surface. Hunter takes her to Kat, who suggests she makes statements against both Tabitha and Kirk to the police. Accompanied by Irene, Olivia reports the cyberbullying, but when she comes to explaining the events involving Kirk, she gets overwhelmed and races out of the station.

When Sergeant McCarthy explains what happened, Kat thinks he should have brought her in. But he reminds her that she quit the police force. Kat wonders what he’d say if she wanted back in, leaving him thrown. McCarthy thinks her relationship with Ash clearly shows she’s not ready to return. Kat tells Ash what happened, and he immediately rushes off to the station to convince McCarthy that they’re not together anymore.

McCarthy reinstates Kat when she confirms that she’s no longer with Ash, but puts her on probation. He tells that her all of her dealings with the garage will be heavily scrutinised, and warns that if she gets back together with Ash, she’s out. Kat thanks Ash, and then finds Olivia on the beach. She tells Olivia about what happened with Dylan, and that when she confronted it, she got her life back. This encourages Olivia to try again, and they go to the police station to resume her interview. With conviction, Olivia states that Kirk Shepherd abused her.

At the hospital to visit Decker, Hope and Raffy run into the Morgan brothers. The boys offer to take them out for lunch, where Brody finds out that ‘Sparrow’ is Raffy’s nickname. But why Decker would say it just before he lost consciousness still isn’t sitting right with him. Phoebe comes to take their order and notices Hope put her hand on Justin’s arm. She wonders if something is going on between them. Phoebe asks Justin about it after lunch. Justin thinks she’s jealous, and tells her that it’s nothing. Phoebe thinks he should tell Hope to avoid any embarrassment, but Justin’s not worried. Phoebe wonders if she’s overreacting.

Phoebe runs her dilemma past Kat. Kat knows that Phoebe doesn’t want Justin to get hurt, but encourages her to trust him – if he says he’s not interested, that should be good enough.

Later at Salt as he shares a drink with Brody, Justin admits that his feelings for Phoebe are getting in the way of being with anyone else. But Hope’s at the bar, and approaches Justin when he’s alone. Phoebe clocks them together across the room. Hope’s tipsy, and Justin thinks she needs to go home. Hope gets the wrong idea and kisses him. Justin’s shocked. Phoebe turns away, crushed.
