Extended Summary
Evie is feeling out of her depth at Tank’s place. She moves from his room into the lounge, but feels even more uncomfortable and turns down a beer from one of his housemates. Azza’s girlfriend Jem arrives with yet more beers, and warns Evelyn to be careful. She tells her that Tank has a number of issues, and struggles to commit to one girl.
When Tank comes back, Evie asks him to drive her home, and on the drive home she asks him if he’s cheating on her. Annoyed, he assures her that there’s nobody else, and tells her that Evie just has it in for him! She believes him and things go back to normal.
Meanwhile, Leah is unsettled when Oscar tells her that he gets a weird vibe around Tank. Zac asks Oscar if he knows anything they should know about, but he doesn’t, he just thinks they should keep an eye on him. When Evelyn arrives home in Tank’s car, they find Leah and Zac waiting out the front for them. Tank agrees to come along to her group study session tomorrow, and drives off. Leah asks how the night went, but Evelyn doesn’t want to get into details.
The following day, Oscar confesses to Evie that he isn’t a fan of Tank, but she tells him he needs to give the guy a chance, leaving Oscar worries that she’s blindsighted and getting too emotionally involved too early.
At the study session, Tank tries to flirt with Maddie behind Evelyn’s back, and when he leaves, she tells Evie and Oscar what happens. However, Evie gives him the benefit of the doubt, causing things to escalate, and pushing Maddy to tell her she’s worried. Evelyn’s already had to take the morning-after pill, Maddie reminds her, what will happen next?
Oscar’s gobsmacked, and as they raise their voices, Leah and Zac enter, demanding to know what is going on. Evelyn tells Leah that Oscar is just being protective, but Leah encourages her to consider if it’s a good idea to be starting a new relationship with her exams only a few weeks away.
Evelyn meets Tank at the pier and confronts him about Maddy’s accusations. He again denies it, and even though she believes him, she tells him that she thinks they should cool off a bit – they’re moving too fast, and she has to take her study seriously. Tank takesi t the wrong way and thinks she’s breaking up with him. Insulted, he leaves, not giving Evelyn a chance to explain herself.
