Extended Summary

Marilyn continues to pretend she remembers John. She hunts through their wedding photos for any clues she can use to fool him. Irene is happy to see Marilyn recovering, but warns them against overdoing it and wearing her out, which gives Marilyn some relief.

The next morning, Irene picks up on the fact that Marilyn is acting odd, but gives her the benefit of the doubt. She suggests that Leah, Zac and John come over to celebrate her memory coming back. Marilyn is apprehensive about maintaining the charade in front of more people, but she’s made a rod for her own back and can’t turn it down without looking suspicious.

Irene takes Marilyn to the diner to get things for the lunch, where they bump into the teens. Irene’s suspicions grow further when Marilyn can’t remember any of them, or anything about the accident when Irene takes her to the site. When Marilyn puts chicken on her plate at lunch, Irene’s sure that something isn’t right. She talks things through with Leah, who agrees – if she remembered her wedding day, she must remember that she wasn’t eating meat then.

Irene comes to the conclusion that she’s lying to make John happy, as she sees how much pain he’s in. She confronts Marilyn, who admits that she didn’t want to make John suffer, but Irene tells her that she needs to be honest and face the reality if she wants to get through it.

As expected,  John is heartbroken when Marilyn admits she lied, unable to believe the life they’ve built together may be gone. When Irene arrives home to see how it went with John, she finds Marilyn meditating. Marilyn doesn’t know why she‘s doing so, but it’s good news as Irene tells her that she took up meditation a few years ago. Marilyn’s remembered something!

Evelyn confesses to Maddy that she had unprotected sex with Tank. Maddy is worried and suggests she take the morning after pill.

Meanwhile, Oscar meets Tank at the diner. He’s not sure what to think of him, and gets the impression that he’s just saying what he thinks Oscar wants to hear. Evelyn arrives with Maddy, after having taken the pill, and is feeling nauseous, so asks Tank to leave with her.

Evelyn tells Tank that she took the morning after pill, and he apologises, guilty that he wasn’t more prepared yesterday. She feels loved when he tells her he would have gone with her if she’s called him that morning, and they kiss.

Oscar tells Josh that he thinks Tank was trying to hard to impress him. Josh agrees, revealing that he is different in class, where he talks differently about Evelyn behind her back. The fact that Josh doesn’t trust him either means Oscar is left thinking he’s definitely got something to worry about. When he tells his concerns to Maddy, she thinks Josh is just jealous. Oscar tells her he doesn’t want Evelyn to do anything stupid, and Maddy, knowing she already has, hides her secret.

Oscar and Maddy arrive home to find Tank looking after Evelyn, but Oscar is still unable to shake his bad feeling about him.

Evelyn and Tank are inundated with questions from Leah

When Zac and Leah meet Tank, Leah begins her inquisition, causing Zac to pull her away and save Evelyn the humiliation. Tank wants to take Evelyn out to meet his mates, and she agrees, eager to repay him for looking after her.

Later, when Tank arrives to pick Evelyn up, he agrees to have dinner with everyone one night soon. Oscar is still concerned when he sees the two of them leave, but Maddy thinks he should relax. But when they enter Tank’s place, Evelyn is confronted with a rough group of guys watching football and drinking beers. Can she handle it?
