Paul instructs Aaron to inquire about an armored car. Greatly relieved to find the runaways reasonably healthy, their (grand)parents go fairly easy on them, while warning consequences are inevitable, starting with mutual apologies. While Aaron's conscience nags but Sheila hols him back from ruining a dream job by coming clean, Paul finds out about the dead rat, but accepts a mysterious chore as redemption. Lauren tells startled Brad their affair harms their families too much: it's over. After Steph rudely confronts Vanessa, even Sonya loses conscience in her and she's fired from the garage. Toadie now believes it must be Belinda, she seems resigning to going crazy again.
