Extended Summary
Joel drops by John’s caravan to see if he requires towels or anything else. John notices Joel’s police uniform and does not seem pleased to see him. At school John is becoming popular with his students. Hayley realises she was wrong about John and goes to visit him at his caravan to apologise, however his response is that she is apologising to him so that she will feel better about herself. Hayley is offended by his response and complains to Will but he tells her that there may be other reasons for the response and that she should not jump to the wrong conclusion. The next day at the Beach Hayley meets John and explains that she was not apologising to make herself feel better and he says it is his turn to say sorry he was not in a good mood when she spoke to him. When Hayley is gone John sits on the beach watching a small child playing with its mother. This reminds John of the day he was playing with his mum on the beach when the police and social worker came and took him away from his mum.
