Have I become the Neighbours-episode-summarising-queen or something now?
Summer got teased by a bunch of boys at school about Steph being a murderer. She got really mad and punched the instigator in the face and yelled "she's not my real mum!" which she later regrets. She gets grounded by Max.
Steph says that Max has an anger control problem, which influences the kids - making them think that violence is the answer and fly off the handle when provoked. After some consideration, Max has a talk with the kids about trying to become better people by controlling anger.
Sky reckons that Boyd has become brainwashed from working at the gym - he's now extremely pedantic about what he eats and it's creeping her out.
Carmella's employees for her mother's magazine quit because she's such a bully. Sindi turns up at the House of Trousers to submit an article and gets insulted by a hurt Carmella (thinking that Sindi was quitting too). Carmella makes peace with her. Then Carmella and Sindi, with Izzy's help manage to finish that issue for the printers in time for publishing. Izzy gets emotional because she's never had real girlfriends to share feelings with.
Stuart is determined to get to work and live independently, which makes Sindi extremely proud.
Connor gets another challenge from Carmella's mum, Lucia. This time he has to deliver a suitcase, supposedly containing secrets that could harm Carmella, to Lucia's accountant without opening it. The suitcase gets mixed up with Stuart's (Sindi gave him lunch and a special tape expressing how much she loves him) and it gets opened (Connor runs in to stop Stuart from opening it but it was opened already). Lucia finds out says that Connor passes the test because if he truly loves Carmella he would find out what the secrets are. Carmella gets worried about Connor's secrecy lately (because of Lucia's challenges - Carmella's not supposed to find out).
David gets elected into local council after Paul rigged it (he's got connections).
Serena and Stingray got together. Dylan drove them in the morning (supposedly heading for school), without David and Lil's approval. They skipped school to muck around in a lake. Serena comes home for a family photo shoot (for David's election thing) with her uniform drenched and half unbuttoned.
Dylan lies to Susan about skipping school - he told her that they ran over a dog and went to find the owner. Stingray couldn't stand the lies so he told Susan what really happened (she's disappointed of course). Dylan thumps him for it, then apologises about his short temper.
