Seasons & episodes

Josh is grateful that Hudson covered up his bruises, inflicted by Robbo, and hence stops puzzled father and coach Brad to report the 'abuser' to the police after Karl diagnoses the damage non-lasting. The investigation into Robbo's fatal hit and run is looking now like a plausible homicide, with plenty of potential suspects, and various alibis are most unreliable. Even now Kate accepts to give him one, Mason is desperate to control Imogen's panic after she contradicted his version.

Brad scolds Hudson's sudden loss of competitive commitment and asks boyfriend Chris to help keep him in line, or the Olympic dream is lost. Emotionally confused, Josh can't stand being with Amber, whom Chris and Hudson advise to wait for Josh, not despair. Hudson tells Chris competitive swimming was his parents' dream for him, but he now found happiness in their gay love. After Imogen faints at home, Karl diagnoses her almost certainly with anorexia, as Susan suspected, and convinces her startled mother.

The police realizes the kids' story is wrong, so Hudson gets grilled. To his and gay lover Chris's great relief, dodgy former coach Don Cotter confirms their meeting, his alibi. Matt is officially relieved, after the police is tipped off that Robbo squatted the former radio station, which is searched, from the investigation, yet he's the one who realizes that the torn-up note found there must be an IOU, signed Lucas.

The police grills Lucas, who has no solid alibi. Paul warns Mason they're both in trouble if his poker man, Marty Kranic, is found and talks. Instead of celebrating Toadie no longer is the prime suspect, Georgia blames Kyle for not breaking his mate's confidence as badly as Sonya scolds ex Lucas, whose bride isn't very supportive either.

Seeing how desperate Lucas is as prime suspect, Mason defies Paul's warning by anonymously delivering to Lucas a cellphone picture he secretly took of Marty during a meeting where the hustler warned them he wouldn't go down alone if caught. Amber confides in Mason that she makes a logical suspect too, having hit Robbo on a desperate clandestine meeting in the fatal night. Brad can't get any reasonable reaction from Imogen, who keeps denying her bulimia and blaming her 'absent' parents, or wife Therese, whose confidence of a similar youthful episode seems to backfire in a gross tantrum.

Old Jack Lassiter, eager to do some good for the youth after a gold-digger life, finances rebooting the school radio. Josh openly questions it relevance, but Jack hears what a devout athlete the knave is, bonds with a fellow striver and inspires him to devise his own type of radio program: a scavenger hunt, for which he also donates a prize. Kyle is delighted that Georgia lets Sheila tempt her to take time off to see if she can build up a singing career, Karl worries about her putting off returning to work after Robbo's traumatic death.

Josh's radio show treasure hunt is a big hit, Lou and Bailey dig up the price, Jack had so much fun he wants to repeat it. Since Mason heard there's a small chance Kate can still become pregnant, he gears up to 'keep trying' and acts as if parenthood is within reach, but she somehow takes that as a sign of incompatible immaturity. The rumors about Toadie being a murder suspect cause a client to demand her case transferred to another lawyer, Sonya's lies to make her reconsider backfire.

After the first raging success, Josh presides over a second treasure hunt. Hudson decides to ditch a training session to partake with Chris. Josh's painful bruises force him to tell Amber he fought with Robbo over her video. Mason still hides the truth for father Matt, who kept back some e-mails. After Mason finds out that mother contacted Robbo, they come clean to Matt, and when Bailey semi-accidentally helps her work out Mason took Robbo's computer, they come clean to Matt and bring everything to her police.

After conversations with Paul suggest that Kate avoids him and wants no reconciliation, Mason fears his love and job are as good as lost. Kyle however advises him to fight for love against all odds, as that paid off for him. Lucas is desperate, sponsor Sonya refuses to help the relapsed gambling addict and he finds out Vanessa, who mentioned postponing their wedding, is meeting her first love, Alex Pocoli, who actually came to tell her their short-lived marriage was never annulled and he wants her back. Just when Paul is about to snap up below asking price Lucas's house at auction, Vanessa arrives to stop him.

Hudson fakes illness to leave a hotel gala event where sponsor Paul expected to show him off, so he can partake in Josh and Jack's second treasure hunt. Despite dirty tricks from Sheila, it's won by a shopkeeper. Off-track however, Brad finds a cellphone and brings it to the police, ignoring it's evidence which Mason's gang desperately tried to dispose of. To Lucas's startled delight, Vanessa didn't turn to Alec Pocoli but accepted a small fortune for a divorce without claim to his business empire, enough to cancel the sale of Lucas's house, so the Turners don't have to move out, and the wedding is back on.

Matt dutifully gave the cellphone to the detectives, who now know about Amber's sex episode recording and after she admits who knew about it grill the youths, who panic, cry or scream, but are now all serious suspects. Paul gets Georgia to sign a stringent singing contract, against Toadie's warning and Karl's fear she's running from nursing, which suddenly reemerges when she witnesses Jack Lassiter's sudden, fatal cardiac episode.

Initially startled, Chris helps Hudson celebrate his decision to give u competitive swimming. This spoils common coach Brad's joy over Josh's state team qualification, but he can't even get Hudson to think it over a bit longer. Mason hears that only Josh wasn't questioned by the police and starts a series of mutual sneers and suspicions. After commendations that her fast action probably saved Jack Lassiter's life, Georgia wants to resume nursing, but Paul holds her to the airtight singing contract. Therese remembers having seen Marty at Paul's client poker at home and insists to infirm the police.

Hudson refuses to reconsider while Brad feels he failed as coach. When Jack's credit card is refused, Therese moves him to a cheaper room. Paul learns he gave his fortune away after hearing he has terminal cancer, refuses to 'learn people matter, not money' but still sell his sports-car to pay for the ongoing treasure hunt price and the room. Marty Kranic accepted Paul's cash to 'disappear until another suspect is convicted' but turns himself in to police detective Oakley, claiming he left Robbo healthy but noticed a drunk, fitting Toadie's profile.

Marty's testimony makes Toadie the prime suspect. He still insists that Lucas and Vanessa's engagement party must go on and accepts to be best man. Josh decides to tell the police about his nocturnal fight, but Amber convinces him to wait until morning. Despite Bailey's help, Callum fails to make up with school girl friend Josie Lamb, but the real problem comes to light only now: she's the daughter of investigating police detective Crabb. Matt scolds his kids for failing to confide in him and helps the detectives reexamine all the evidence and consider the kids' possible parts in the fatal night.

Fellow ex-addict Marty beat him up to return Lucas's cash, Mason's gang only tried to save Amber, Toadie was too drunk to do anything. To Chris's horror, his boyfriend Hudson confesses, albeit without intent, having driven the car Mason lend her when Robbo surprised him.

Matt is fed up with being ignored by his family when they need help, Mason with being blamed without hesitation. Sheila is in on the war path when Karl's animals get into Kyle's garden.

To Josh's horror, he's stuck with massive tutoring just now he must train more then ever, Brad fails to stick up for him as coach. Kyle tries to convince Paulto cut Georgia some slack to combine her nursing job with the musical career he manages, but the response is more then she wants: no record contract but having her material covered by a full-time singer. Karl accuses Sheila of letting his animals loose, but it was Susan. After Lucas and Vanessa, who greatly enjoyed an countryside holiday, get generous offers on both his garage and the apartment, they seriously consider raising their kids in the country.

Chris is heart-broken now Hudson won't see him, yet gets Toadie to look into his lover's bleak court prospects. Another blow for Chris is that Lucas decides with Vanessa to move to the country, so he sells both apartment and garage. Chris's new boss Danni Ferguson gets a terrible first impression of him. Kyle and Georgia are startled when Paul presents Australian Idol singer Amali Ward, who is to record her songs.

Despite house-mate Kyle's devoted help and intercession, Chris, inconsolable about the loss of gay soul-mate Hudson, can't concentrate on the job nor arrive on time and gets an official warning from heartless new boss Danni, only steps away from dismissal as mechanic. Mason refuses to let Imogen sell their 'cursed' car, so he coaxes her with a marking of the absurd Potter-nickname Hermione she gave it. Alas that also means bailing on the fishing trip with Matt, who hoped it would help them bond again. Kate returns, but tells Mason it's completely over.

Kyle finds Chris fainted in the garden, reacting badly as sleepwalker to the sleeping pills Karl prescribed reluctantly, yet he can't resist taking another. Angry over being dumped, Mason can barely remain polite to hotel guests, except one with whom he flirts against policy, but Kate prevents Paul coming down hard on her ex. Paul assures Amali that Georgia is completely out of the picture, which she can't stomach in the case of the song she wrote for and about Kyle.
