Extended Summary
After a great day out, Hayley and Noah got the shock of their lives. A farmer came along while they were mucking around near a watering hole, that people have been going to for years. The farmer wasn’t very pleasant and asked if they’d seen a kid about. They hadn’t, but after returning to the car, they found a boy hiding in the back seat. He looked really scared, so Noah and Hayley drove off. A little further on, the boy said to stop. He jumped out and disappeared. Why was the boy running away?

She encouraged Vinnie to become more involved in the Diner. He took this the wrong way and walked out, leaving Leah very upset.
