What time do you call this, Stevie? I've been here for an hour.
And look how useful you've been!
I was in a dive.
- Of course. - But I…
got you this.
I'm not sure this is legal tender.
Mm.
What will it buy me then?
This.
Really? Stevie!
Why was this in Lauren's room?
I thought there'd be more storm damage,
but the coral is thriving.
I'm going to need your map reading for Alveopora or Stylophora.
Didn't see any.
What about Montipora digitata? You must have seen that. It's everywhere.
Nope.
Where you paying attention down there?
How about the mermaids, did you see those?
Huh?
Were you paying attention down there?
Yes, I saw coral. Lots and lots of coral.
I'm so glad you came.
Look, I wanted to stay home. You made me come.
It's not your fault, you know.
What is not my fault?
Lauren's disappearance.
Yeah, well, I was supposed to wait.
Whatever happened to Lauren after she went back to the boat
was far bigger than anything you could have saved her from.
No.
No, she's out there, OK? And… And we're going to find her.
You remember my study on Glaucus atlanticus?
Not the slug again.
It's not a slug.
That's literally what the entire study was about.
I was determined to prove it was a unique species.
I didn't care it was poisonous…
Yes, yes. I remember.
..until I spent two weeks in hospital.
We're determined, Stevie.
It's in our DNA.
But you have to learn the difference between pushing yourself…
and punishing yourself.
You know, Mum and Dad are just a phone call away.
You know, they'd be here in a heartbeat if you need…
No, no. I am not calling Mum and Dad.
What are they supposed to do? Worry from 20,000 kilometres away?
Besides, we're going to find Lauren soon anyway.
She's got a lot of explaining to do.
So, what did the chief say exactly?
Ah, he was looking for a note book.
He was worried Lauren had written something down,
something he didn't want anyone to know.
Like what?
I don't know.
Does she have any big family secrets? Any dramas going on?
Not that I know of.
But if she had written about something, it would be in her notebook.
OK, well, he's searching for it. I think we need to find it first.
We know it's not in her room.
I reckon the Dive Club House is our best bet.
Let's go!
Very good, Vnuchka!
So, my father simply says, "Brad, you can invest, you can divest,
but you can't cry in my office".
Good morning, Mother.
Brad, what a pleasant surprise.
Lovely for you to join us.
You look.. well rested.
Thank you.
John, I see the cell towers are back online. How wonderful.
Syrniki, Victoria?
No, no, no, thank you.
Any good news?
Well, well, maybe just one.
Oh, no!
No, no, I need to take my pill first.
I'm… I'm sorry.
- I'll get it, will I? - What about the lighthouse?
In the kitchen, darling.
Consider it done.
So, it won't be ready for the festival?
OK, so what are we looking for, notebook-wise?
Ah, it's got a wooden case.
Lauren's name on the front and it's book sized.
Apparently the lighthouse has water damage.
It's been blinding ships up and down the coast.
You can't listen to those old fisherman.
They think they see The Flying Dutchman every time a bird flies too low. Uh!
Well, whatever's happening is certainly blowing the budget.
We're going to bring the fundraiser forward.
I think you should give the reigns to Anna for this one.
Now, that's an idea.
I don't think Anna's ready.
I organised the summer social and it was very successful.
You don't have the finesse required for event planning,
as demonstrated by your late arrival to your own grandmother's birthday party.
I think Anna would do a splendid job.
Well, I see I'm out-voted.
You can work from this.
But there's no piano in the venue
so you're going to have to use the one from the community hall.
That's no problem at all. It will be a complete success, Mother.
We'll see.
Brad, how's your mother?
I'm glad you asked. She's great.
Just been busy dealing with all sorts of mainland politics.
She's a busy woman.
Mother's currently working
on the environmental preservation of Cape Mercy,
which will be great for the future of our town.
Well, good morning.
What a pleasant surprise to see you guys all here today.
You're on our verandah, Stephanie.
Anyway, it's in preparation for the future,
which has made me think about our future.
You're never too young to start planning, and I certainly have a plan.
I'll study at AU, just like Dad, and I'll make team leader…
And I'll propose to an incredible woman…
at a little French place.
Just like Dad.
This has been lovely, but, um, we've got that thing to do.
Remember, Anna?
Thing? We don't have a thing.
You know, the, um…
the thing?
Oh, yes! We do.
- Well… - Delicious, Grandma V.
Nothing.
So, you found this in Lauren's room?
Yep.
And you confronted Hayden?
Yep.
And he had no explanation?
Yep.
Lauren wouldn't do that to you or herself.
So, then, what does it mean, Anna?
Lauren always liked Hayden.
Lauren was nice to Hayden.
I'm nice to telemarketers,
but that doesn't mean I'm going to change internet providers.
Well, we need to find Lauren.
If she's alive.
Oh, she's alive, because I am going to kill her.
OK, so you know your hand signals?
OK.
Ascend.
Descend.
Problem.
Breathe.
- Breathe.
Sorry. I was…
I just couldn't…
I got down there, and I just couldn't breath and then I…
What do you see?
Um…
The water, um…
The sky…
You.
The best thing you can do when you feel overwhelmed,
is take a moment to breathe.
Nothing that scares you can hurt you as badly as panic will.
I thought this would be easier.
The girls just seem so free when they're down there.
Freedom is on the other side of difficult things.
OK. I'm ready.
I can't wait to these wrecks.
The water here is just so clear.
Oh, not everywhere.
Water visibility can decrease rapidly without warning.
Generally speaking,
everything around this area is usually pretty good.
You can see clearly between ten metres and 40 metres.
But over here, visibility is awful.
Murky, dark, goodness know what you'll find out there.
It just makes no sense.
Like, how are we down one notebook and up one coin?
It is not just a coin, Maddie.
Oh, you sang beautifully last night, Camille.
We're really lucky to have you back.
This place is chock full of memories.
Do you remember that dance concert we did when we were six?
- 'Scenes from The Nutcracker'? - And Mr. Tyler left the staff room open?
And we drank all of that chocolate milk.
You spilled it all over your white tutu.
But I still went on with the show.
Your mum was so angry.
I can still see your little face covered in chocolate
as she dragged you away.
Thanks.
It was good to see you.
You too.
See ya.
It appears to be something untoward happened.
Don't look at me like that.
It's silly.
You can relax, he's working at the marina today.
Oh, thank god.
I did say it wasn't glamorous.
Hey, I'm not complaining. Thanks for hooking me up with a job.
As it turns out,
"I must report to a parole officer", isn't a good look on your resume.
But between here and the Lodestar…
I should be able to pay off those fines.
How much is it?
If I work for seven days in the next eight months,
I'll still owe a lot of money.
Well, it's a step in the right direction. I know the money isn't much, but…
something to be said about ache in your arms.
You know, it feels like you've achieved something.
Alright, Superman.
Shouldn't you be saving the family farm somewhere?
Nah, it's good to have you back, man.
It's good to be back.
So…
I'm officially a certified diver!
- Ooh. You're almost a Cape Mercy local.
Come sit.
I'm exhausted is what I am.
Any news?
Yes, tell her about the coin.
Well…
This is my love coin…
and it was in Lauren's room.
See much of Stevie?
Yeah, a little.
I think there's some work for me to do there, though.
Still madly in love?
You could say that.
How about you? How are you holding up?
Just wish I spent more time with Lauren.
She seemed really preoccupied those last few weeks.
Why do we need a piano?
What's wrong with a nice light set of bongos?
It's carnIval-themed.
Carnivals have lively piano music.
Oh, your mother has made you crazy.
I just want everything to be perfect.
Well, if it's not, you'll just have a nervous breakdown.
Probably, yeah.
Where's Lauren's notebook?
I don't know, Izzie.
Why was Lauren's coin in Hayden's room.
I don't think what we think happened happened.
The coin, the notebook, or Volkov parent-child conflict?
Hayden's coin.
I don't think it means that him and Lauren, like, you know?
Then what does it mean?
Intelligence is knowing what we don't know
and I don't know what they were doing.
Well, I know that Hayden is a heartbreaker.
Someone run me over with this piano.
He breaks your heart, you call it off,
he does the bare minimum to get you back,
and then just when you think he's changed, he breaks your heart again.
I know that Hayden can't be trusted, but what if Lauren can't be either.
Do not say that. Lauren was disciplined. She was principled. She was…
Is disciplined.
Is principled.
I'm sorry, but you, out of all people, have no right to be angry with her.
I didn't know that she would disappear, Anna.
Look, we've done that ride a million times. OK?
I know I said I was going to wait,
but there was lightning and it got dark and I got scared.
Hello! A little help here, guys.
Don't you think that I feel sorry?
- That's not what I meant. - Stevie, no-one is blaming you…
The piano! Ah!
Ah! Sorry!
Hayden ruins everything!
My name's Izzie.
Pianos are robust, right?
I'm sorry.
Can we chat?
How did you find me?
You hauled a piano through town.
How much do you think happens on this island?
I want to explain myself.
Well, you've had all day to think of a lie. So…
Why do you have Lauren's notebook?
Lauren was supposed to sing.
Because you are my queen.
You always, always have been.
Lauren was helping.
It was going to be a surprise, or whatever.
I just figured we needed a new song.
Slightly backfired.
Yeah.
Just slightly.
You're right. They were up to something romantic.
I didn't know that you played the piano.
Well, you make me want to be a better person.
- This is Lauren's notebook. - Mm-hm.
And she just gave it to you?
I wanted to practice.
And we've lost her again.
And the coin?
I don't know.
OK, she's seen it, like, a thousand times before.
She just got really interested.
She asked if she could borrow it one day.
So…
When do I get it back?
I'll think about it.
Cool.
Isn't Hayden full of surprises?
So, are you really going to marry Brad?
Well, he's never written me a love song.
Yeah, true.
Perhaps Hayden can give him some pointers.
Well, at least that's one mystery solved.
I'm sure the damage isn't as bad as it looks.
Definitely, I think she just needs a bit of love.
We'll have her sailing in no time.
Mm. Aye.
That's the spirit.
Well done.
Woo!
- What's that?
"Check with LK?"
I don't know.
"Lauren, 7pm tomorrow night. Are we still on?"
Who is LK?
