Imogen can't believe that Josh won't support Terese, but she reminds her that he's always had a close relationship with Brad. Imogen insists that all of the Willis children should be supporting their mum and suggests telling Piper what has happened, but Terese doesn't want to upset Piper during her exams.

IMOGEN: She needs to know what Dad did. That he left us, without even trying to work things out.
TERESE: Look, I don't want to turn this into a war. Your father loves you.
IMOGEN: And he's supposed to love you too, Mum. You're allowed to be angry at Dad for what he did, and I'm going to support you, all the way.

Tyler comes home in a hostile mood. Russell says he'll be sticking around permanently so tells Tyler to change his attitude. He warns Tyler that he only arrived to straighten him out, and that he needs to stop moping around him as Sheila and his brothers have begun to notice.

TYLER: Why should I pretend we're good?
RUSSELL: This isn't a joke Tyler. If you keep up with this attitude, you're going to stuff things between me and your brothers.
TYLER: What, because they're more important?

They move to the lounge, and Tyler confesses that he's told Karl and Susan about Russell's abuse. Russell isn't happy as they'll have been gossiping to Sheila.

RUSSELL: What do you want, an apology on a silver platter?
TYLER: An apology of any kind; some acknowledgement that it actually happened. You beat your own son, I was just a kid!
RUSSELL: And now you're a man, grow up and deal with it!

Russell starts jabbing Tyler in the chest, but Tyler swings a punch and knocks him to the sofa.

TYLER: Deal with that, you coward.

Brad and Lauren continue their stroll, and can't decide if it's fate or torture that keeps bringing them together. Brad suggests that once the dust has settled, this could finally be their time together. Lauren acts coy about the fact she revealed she always had feelings for Brad, and he admits that he has feelings too.

LAUREN: Listen, I have to ask, is there a chance that you and Terese might get back together?
BRAD: We can't, it's over.
LAUREN: So what now?
BRAD: Well in a normal situation, without all the surrounding complications, we'd be looking for ways to spend time together.
LAUREN: But this isn't a normal situation.

They both agree that timing is everything and are about to kiss, but Lauren breaks away before their innocent walk turns into something else.

The Waterhole
Mark finds Tyler playing darts, and lays into him for punching Russell. Tyler finally musters the courage to speak up, and points out the hypocrisy that Russell is allowed to beat him up.

MARK: What are you talking about?
TYLER: Dad hit me Mark. I'm not talking about little love taps, or pushing and shoving. He beat me. If I didn't put the cap on the coolant properly, or if I forgot to leave my shoes outside, he'd knock me senseless.
MARK: And there's no chance you're exaggerating the situation?
TYLER: Wait, are you saying I'm lying?
MARK: I'm just saying, you've got a history of making things up to explain your bad behaviour.
TYLER: You don't believe me.

Aaron and Mark are worried about Tyler's whereabouts when Russell returns home to set up the barbeque. Mark informs Russell that Tyler has told him about their past.

MARK: You got anything you want to say?
RUSSELL: I was in a bad way Mark. The divorce. I was a total mess. Aaron had shot through, I hadn't spoken to you on the phone for more than a year.
MARK: So you took it out on Tyler? A thirteen year old kid, unable to defend himself?
RUSSELL: Tyler was always able to defend himself. Hard-headed in every sense of the word.
MARK: So you admit it, you hit him?
RUSSELL: Rehashing it all now isn't going to change anything.
MARK: Yes or no?
RUSSELL: I might have! But everything's different now, now that we're all together again. The Brennan boys! It'll be alright!

Aaron and Mark look disgusted at Russell's confession.
