Inside the house Irene notices a tear in her jacket, then Nate comes back in, saying that Ricky’s ill so he’s not going round. Irene reassures him that there will be plenty of time to celebrate. Later on Irene stuffs her jacket into the rubbish and takes it outside, almost bumping into a frantic Olivia who tells Irene that Hunter’s gone. They go and tell Zac, Alf and Leah. Zac receives a text from Hunter telling him that he’s fine, but when Zac tries to call him it goes straight to voicemail.

A mystery man arrives in a smart suit. He walks into the police station where Kat and Emerson are briefing the officers on the Charlotte murder case and is introduced as Detective Dylan Carter, he’ll be heading up the investigation.

As he leaves the room he quietly speaks to Kat, telling her it’s good to see her again… Down by the beach pool at the murder scene Emerson tells Dylan and Kat that the divers found Kat’s gun in the water. As they speculate about what Charlotte may have intended to do with Kat’s gun, it becomes clear to Emerson that Kat and Dylan already know each other. When Emerson asks, Kat just says that they’ve worked together before, but Kat’s discomfort shows that there’s more to it than that.
On her way to work, Pheobe goes to see Ash and tells him they need to sort stuff. Ash apologises, knowing she was just trying to do what she thought best for Ricky. Phoebe appreciates it but is still unwilling to accept Ash lying to her and thinks they should stay away from each other.
