Loren (Amy Beckwith) and Charley's (Lachlan Buchanan) relationship hits new heights when a picnic at the beach sees their friendship blossom into romance. The problem, however, is that they become so infatuated with each other that they begin to neglect their house mates. Although the other kids aren't upset about Charley and Loren's relationship, they soon become used to them not being around. Loren senses a change in their attitude and wonders why they're not being included in group activities.

When Adam (Eka Darville) calls a house meeting to discuss concerns about Bec (Kate Bell) and Garry's (Craig Horner) growing absences, Charley and Loren appear to be excluded. To top it off, when Loren finds Cassie (Rebecca Breeds) asleep in her bed - she takes it as a sure sign that Cassie and Bridget's (Cariba Heine) friendship has grown closer at the expense of their relationships with her.

Suddenly, Loren's new, perfect life is found wanting. Aware that they have drifted away from their friends, Loren and Charley apologise to their house mates for cutting themselves off. Asking if they can rejoin the group, they're welcomed back with open arms. Having isolated herself from the people she cares for the most, Loren realises that having a boyfriend is great but you need to hold onto your friends as well.
