Extended Summary
Marc is furious about being taken in for questioning, but Peter thinks he’s got his man. Marc has alibis for everything and they all check out. He doesn’t know Sarah Lewis and claims that Josie is setting him up. He’s never seen the gear that was found in his trunk and thinks it was planted. Marc shuts down and refuses to say anything without a solicitor. Josie comes to the police station at the behest of Peter, and Marc sees her and threatens to let out the 1989 secret. She realises she’s in big trouble.
Dan’s son Ryan is coming from the US today and Dan and Leah are both nervous about the meeting (and telling him they’re getting married). After some advice from Beth, Leah buys a brand new boogie board to try to win Ryan over. Dan heads off to pick him up.
The kids are doing beach skills today and it looks like there’s going to be trouble between Henry and Ric, which leaves Beth a little worried. Hyde and Sally have to take over when the PE teacher calls in sick. Ric and Henry are at each other’s throats, and the situation is made worse when Hyde puts them into the same team together. They work against each other and finally Hyde punishes them with running and push ups. As Ric and Henry are running together they see a swimmer in trouble and race out and save him – illustrating an ability to work together. Hyde says that they can save themselves from failing if they work together on one last exercise and finish it in time. They are successful and both of them pass. While they’re still not the best of friends, it’s clear the ice is beginning to thaw.
Peter asks Marc about the ‘secret’ he’s holding about Josie, but Marc prevaricates until finally the evidence mounts against him and he realises the last thing he’ll have is to tell Peter everything – even if it means revealing his own nasty secret. He allows Peter to go search his house for a file that contains everything. Only problem is that Josie has already broken in to remove the evidence. But just after she finds the file and is about to leave, she hears someone approaching the house. Thinking it’s the police, she rushes into hiding as the intruder moves around the house. Josie holds her breath – will she be sprung?
