Summer says she knows what she's doing is what Tash needs her to do, even if she hasn't asked. Mal says that Susan has helped a lot people on the street by feeling as strongly as Summer feels about helping others.

Jade is trying to convince Kate to do something in the evening - but Kate isn't up for it. Kate goes to get ready for work and Sophie talks to Lucas. She explains how much she loves the guitar Lucas got her, but she really wants to play bass guitar and she's found a girl who wants to swap a bass guitar for an electric guitar. Lucas says it's her guitar, she can do what she likes with it. Sophie is pleased with this and asks if she can have a lift into the city, but Lucas can't help her there.

Erinsborough High
Sophie wanders in late and Kate is obviously on bouncer duty at the school. Kate wants to know where she's been and Sophie says she was just chatting to Lucas about upgrading her guitar - she wants to trade it with this girl in the city.

Tash is moaning about the boring lesson they've had and goes off to find her Dad because she's forgotten her lunch. Andrew says that things between Summer and Tash have been good lately and he doesn't want her to risk it. Summer kisses him, agrees and skips off to the library.

Andrew gets a text and rolls his eyes just as Tash and Chris approach. Task doesn't need her dads money because Chris has offered to shout her lunch. Andrew says he might want to save his money as he's just had a message from Eric, who will need his money back. Chris thinks maybe not - Lucas has apologised to him and he'd like to go back to the garage and not to uni. Andrew wonders if things with Lucas are sorted, and Chris thinks that they soon will be. Tash thinks Chris should ask for a raise (whilst Andrew walks backwards into a locker) and Andrew has a better idea...

Summer is researching local papers. Summer reiterates that she's just trying to help and Andrew lets her get on with it. She finds Helena Jovanovic on the computer, and Andrew comments that that makes Tash half Serbian. She finds an article about Tash's mum being the teen beauty queen and keeps looking for more information.

Charlie's Bar
Chris spots Lucas and nervously tells him he'd like to come back to the garage. Lucas is delighted, but waits to hear more, as he can see how nervous Chris is. Chris explains that he's helping Andrew find a car (BMW 5th series?) and is hoping Lucas has contacts. Lucas fools around with him ("Do you know how many kids would kill for this apprenticeship?"), but then offers his hand to him and welcomes Chris back. Lucas says he will try and help out with the car and they're all happy.

Erinsborough High
Tash is delighted with Chris. She's so happy because:

1. The stress hasn't gone to her hair
2. Chris has his job
3. Andrew might be getting rid of the Clown- Mobile (and who knows, maybe one day Summer will grow out her fringe)
4. Things are great with her dad
5. She's stopped hearing water
6. Chris is shouting them lunch

She announces it to be the "best life ever" - which we all know much spell disaster round the corner - and they all head off for food.

Noah tells Sophie she's in on the Collectives, they're meeting after school tonight. Sophie is keen but could she get a lift into the city to get her bass. Noah says he can't give her a lift as he has a test, Sophie says she'll sort it.
