No 22 - Back Garden: Terese, Imogen and Brad are watching Josh’s online skateboarding videos and are shocked at what he was doing. Matt arrives with Josh and Amber and tells them how cooperative he was. Terese questions who filmed the videos and Josh tells her he did most of them but the one that Jayden saw was filmed by Paige. Matt explains he can’t charge Josh regarding Jayden’s accident but he is being charged with traffic offences and if he does anything like this again he will be charged with conduct endangering life. Josh says he won’t be doing it again. As Matt and Amber leave, Josh catches up to her and thanks her for being there with him. He kisses her and as he walks off she looks guilty.

Lassiter's Complex: Karl is outside Harold's, reading the council by-laws, when Susan arrives. He has got them from Toadie and explains to Susan that he doesn’t think Paul is fit to be mayor. Susan explains he has had a terrible loss so no wonder he isn’t focussed but Karl thinks he should be doing his job properly. Matt and Lauren come out of Harold’s and are talking about Josh’s skateboarding videos. It reminds them of their situation with Bailey and Matt says he wishes he was closer to him. Lauren suggests finding a father/son thing they can do together.

No 32 - Back Garden: Bailey is sat quietly reading when Matt turns up with a basketball and asks if he wants to play. Bailey isn’t interested, it’s not his thing. Matt asks if he wants to hang out in the shed and build a spice rack. Bailey doesn’t want to do the things that Matt is suggesting. He explains he isn’t Mason and isn’t good at sport or doing things with his hands. He goes inside to study leaving Matt still trying to find a way to connect with him.

Darkroom: Amber and Daniel are talking about her dumping Josh. Daniel explains there will never be a good time. Amber has thought of another way they can stay in touch, through a word game called Crash Words. There is a knock at the door; it is Josh so Amber hides under the table. Josh has come to give Daniel a heads up about putting skateboarding clips on line. Daniel thanks him and shuts the door. He asks Amber to leave and tells her he can’t keep doing this, leaving her looking guilty again.

Harold's Store: Lauren is daydreaming at the counter looking at Amber. Imogen arrives and starts confronting Amber about the student works at the art exhibition and telling her she should be more responsible as school captain now. Amber tells Imogen to back off. Lauren comes to talk to Amber; she can see she is worried about something. Amber starts crying and tells Lauren about her not being in love with Josh anymore and that she has been cheating on him with Daniel. Lauren assures Amber she doesn’t think she is a horrible person and leads her off to get the full story.

Ramsay Street: Matt is back from a run when he bumps into Susan. They chat about Bailey and Mason and Susan explains how the family are all different but they just need to find something to do together. She suggests Matt makes an effort with something important to Bailey. He is worried about looking like an idiot but Susan tells him even if he does they can laugh about it together and it will show Bailey he cares.

Harold's Store: In the kitchen, Amber is telling Lauren about her feelings with Josh and Daniel. She feels like she can be herself with Daniel, and she hasn’t told Josh as it’s so hard and she doesn’t want to hurt him. Lauren suggests she is honest with Josh before it gets worse. Amber is really confused but Lauren tells her she needs to tell Josh now before she does any more damage. Paul and Daniel are having a coffee when Sue Parker arrives and tells him she wants to discuss skateboarding laws but Paul brushes her off. Paul explains to Daniel that she used to know his parents and she used to go out with his uncle Henry for a while. Lauren sees Brad and tells her if there is anything they can do to help she will. Lauren mentions what happened in Adelaide and Brad asks if it’s still on her mind. They agree they did the right thing not telling Terese and Matt. Lauren gives Brad a cupcake on the house.

The Waterhole: Karl is voicing his concerns to Terese about Paul’s behaviour. He doesn’t think his is coping and is trying to understand where his head is at. Terese is worried about Paul’s behaviour too and explains what has been happening. She also mentions he left a confidential council file in the beer garden but luckily she got to it before anyone else.

The Waterhole: Later on that evening the Willis family and Amber are out for dinner. Daniel arrives and looks over leaving Amber looking guilty. Sue Parker arrives and tells them that Jayden has broken his arm and lays into Josh explaining how he may have ruined her son’s season and future. She and Terese start arguing about it and Sue thinks it was negligent to post the video online. Josh apologises but Sue walks out saying she is suing him.

No 32 - Back Garden: Bailey is looking through his telescope as Matt walks in and asks him questions about what he is looking at. Bailey tells Matt he doesn’t have to be here if he is bored but Matt is showing an interest. They talk about the stars and Matt seems to start getting somewhere with Bailey.

Harold's Store: Daniel is reading a magazine when Amber walks in and tells him she is going to write Josh a letter but Daniel thinks she should do it face to face. Daniel has an idea to help him and approaches Sue Parker to talk about Josh’s skateboarding videos. He relates it back to mistakes she has made in the past with his mum and dad and gets through to her. He asks her to give Josh a chance to redeem himself.

No 32 - Kitchen: Matt tells Bailey he has been thinking and Bailey should apply for space camp. Bailey doesn’t think he has a chance; they only let one person go from Australia. Matt tells him to try it; he will help him with his application and knows how much it costs. They look at it together.

The Waterhole: Josh, Amber and Imogen come in and see Daniel. Josh thanks him for getting him off the hook with Sue Parker. Daniel plays it down but they are really happy he has done this for him. Josh kisses Amber and Daniel looks guilty as does she. Josh shakes his hand and tells him he is a mate.

The Waterhole: Later Daniel is eating his dinner and Amber arrives with Matt to pick up some wine. Daniel rubs his necklace to let Amber know he is thinking of her but she just looks away feeling guilty again.
