Xanthe tells him to calm down when suddenly Gary returns home and in the living room Terese attempts to stall him. Gary settles in the kitchen to make Terese a fancy lunch and she tries to get him to leave.

TERESE: But.. what about my pie?! I thought I sent you a text about wanting a pie?
GARY: But I'm about to make you a beautiful vegan lunch. You don't need a pie.
TERESE: But I want a pie!

Gary is taken aback but happily agrees to fetch Terese her pie. Back in the bedroom Xanthe and Ben have a cold goodbye and both reluctantly say 'I love you'.

BEN: Was your first time... I mean, was it good?
TYLER: Are you trying to tell me something?
BEN: Me and Xanthe. I'm just wondering if I've done something wrong. Because I thought the first time is supposed to be amazing, but instead it was just nice.
TYLER: Look, I promise we'll have this conversation one day, but right now it's not what I want to think about.

Ben apologises for bothering Tyler and drops the subject. Tyler explains that the charges against him have been upgraded to murder. Ben blames himself, but Tyler jumps in to insist that his statement wouldn't have made a difference and reassures him that they're still mates.

David thrusts the photo of Rory he found into Aaron's hands and asks him to explain.

DAVID: Why didn't you tell me you know him?
AARON: I was going to tell you before, alright. I promise. But you ran off to sort out the boat.
DAVID: You should have told me straight away! That day at the hospital. What are you hiding?
AARON: He was my first boyfriend. I know I should have told you David but I was shocked to see him. And then I thought he was going to leave, and I thought we wouldn't have to worry about it.
DAVID: How long were you together?
AARON: About a year and a half.
DAVID: Did you love him?
AARON: Yes.
DAVID: Is he the reason you said no to my proposal?
AARON: No, David, No. But when you were doing it, he walked past and it did throw me.

Aaron tries to explain that he would have been thrown by the proposal anyway, and that he's had a lot going on with Tyler, and Gabe's disappearance.
