Mac and Jack are in the pub when Steph bursts in looking for him. He kisses Mac so that Steph won’t see him. He then explains why he did it and Mac is confused as to why his sister would be looking for him. He defends Steph, and says that they should get going.

Steph arrives home without Jack, and Max suggests that she should contact Joe and Lyn. She says that she doesn’t want to worry them at the moment. She says that she remembers when they were kids, that she was always the one who was getting into trouble and needing to be rescued. Max thinks that Jack probably picked everything up from his big sister, but she’s not to blame for anything Jack does. Steph says that she just wants to protect her brother.

David asks Lil if she likes the machine. She’s quite unenthusiastic about it, but he says that now she won’t need to share clothes and can even whip up her own outfits. He tells her to think of the savings.

Summer tells Max that the TV isn’t working and she tells him to call for a repair man. They realise that all of the power is out, and she says that she probably won’t need to go to school in that case. She tells Max that this is Caleb’s last day in town and she might never see him again. Max tells her that there’s no way she’s missing school. Steph then bursts in and says there’s no sign of Jack. Max says that he’ll take her out and they can look for him. He tells Summer to get her stuff and they can drop her off at school.

Mac arrives at the accident, and one of the police officers sees her and says that they hardly recognised her. She spots Jack’s phone in the car and quickly removes it, then moves away from the scene and breaks down.

At number 24, the Bishops are surveying the damage from the power shorting out everything. Harold says that he didn’t have circuit breakers installed, but Lil says that it’s David’s fault for buying that ancient sewing machine. Harold says that nobody is to blame for this and Lil apologises to David. David tries to phone the electrician and it’s busy, so Harold goes out to see if anybody else’s power is down.

At the school, everyone is outside in the corridors, as there’s no power. Summer starts talking about Caleb, and Lisa accuses her of making him up and starts laughing at her.

Caleb and Summer arrive back at the school, and he asks if she can come and visit. She says that they’re not rich like his family, and she won’t be able to. Lisa appears again, and starts trying to chat up Caleb, but he tells her that he knows all about her and he doesn’t want to know her. Lisa walks away, humiliated and Caleb says that he should go. He gives her a friendship ring, and she says she’ll wear it all the time. He promises that he’ll come back, then he goes.

At the hospital, Steph is waiting for news. Max arrives and she tells him that nobody will tell her what’s going on. He offers to get them to page Karl, but he’s not working that day. She says that she isn’t going to phone her parents until there’s some proper news. Max reminds her of when Boyd had his accident, but Steph says that this is different. She says that she’ll tell them when the time is right, but right now, she just wants Jack to get through it alive.

At the Coffee Shop, Harold is on the phone to Max, and tells Lil and David that there’s no news. David says that this is the last thing Jack needed, what with trying to run the family business on his own. Lil says that they should phone Lyn, but Harold says that Steph wants to wait until there’s more news. Lisa comes in and sits with Summer. She sees the ring, and Summer explains that it was a gift from Caleb. Lisa says that it’s sad that they haven’t been talking lately and asks if they can be friends again. Summer tells Lisa that she’ll just have to wait and see.

Steph goes in to see Jack and he asks her what’s wrong with him. She tells him he has a ruptured spleen and several broken ribs. She asks if he remembers what happened, and he has a flashback to the crash. He lies to Steph that he can’t remember any of it, and apologises to her for everything. He tells her that he hid from her in the pub, then he starts coughing up blood and can’t stop…
