Summer agrees that Tash has a point, Aidan is pretty hungry and Andrew thinks that Lucas is a generous guy so they all help themselves.

She isn't used to having to worry about someone else. She isn't making excuses it is just hard, even with Sonya. Kyle understands and just asks her not to take it out on him, he can't take much more.

Aidan is standing behind Chris telling him to give the ball a gentle little kiss when Chris accidentally pokes him in the face. Andrew and Summer go to see if Aidan is okay and poor Chris looks mortified.

AIDAN: Okay you can say it now.
CHRIS: Sorry.
