Lou is back and makes clear people shouldn't just bitterly side with Steph or Libby, even the Kennedys should ultimately choose reconciliation.

Now grateful Chris is his mate, Andrew decides to introduce the shy knave, who also gets ignored as 'traitor' by their exes, to advanced seduction.

Realizing Chris must be suffering some worry, he initiates a project class-wide, everybody should confide a secret to some discrete medium. Chris feels targeted by the initiative, which Mike denies, and ultimately decide to speak his secret into Summer's iPod, only to try stealing it back before it gets played, only to see Libby confiscate it just when Andrew snatched it back from Macca's bully gang for Chris.
