Chris is released from hospital and Aidan makes sure he gets light medication, so he can resume work soon, but the bashing trauma results in a phobia to enter the garage. His father George grudgingly accepts even on official admission offer to Melbourne engineering studies can't change Chris's determination to stick with his apprenticeship and helps him by offering his car for repair in the garage driveway. Andrew and Summer are delighted their exam scores suffice for their first-choice majors, top scorer Tash absentmindedly thinks of modern art, but a talk with Aidan, who switched from architecture, sets her thinking. A confrontation proves Lewis Walton never met Toadie, who therefore can't have hired him and is no longer a suspect. His law firm job however remains lost as the senior partners fear further negative publicity, although he realizes returning to small local cases isn't rewarding enough.
