Nathan Potter, a teen from Father Patrick's youth refuge, begins working at the Loman's Shed Café but Nathan and Dean take an instant dislike to one another. Shelley's father asks her to come back to the farm with him and Marty. Shelley's not interested and tries to reach out to Hopper and Dave, neither of whom have time for her. Coral tries to avoid Daniel and backs out of their dinner plans but Belinda, having started to come around on him, decides to go by herself. Shelley, having isolated herself, decides to leave Echo Point.

Neville's overprotective ways leave Frannie fuming after he cajoles Dave into cancelling their date to spend the evening with the Loman family under Neville's watchful eye. Trish asks Dean to give Nathan a chance. Daniel gives Belinda a tour of his parents' lavish house — everywhere except the room where his parents were murdered. Coral admits to Daniel she's been avoiding him since they spent the night together and has come to the conclusion they have no future together. Frannie and Belinda ask Zac to visit Edwina in hospital but he wants nothing more to do with her. Daniel offers Zac a job clearing a block of vacant land. Dean makes an effort with Nathan who responds by making Dean fall off his skateboard.

Hopper starts to share Dean's doubts about Nathan when he sees him hanging out with the men who robbed him. Still struggling to cope after losing Zac and the baby, Edwina returns home from the hospital. She tries speaking to Zac but he rejects her once again. Father Patrick asks Trish to give a talk on her experience with his work experience program. While clearing Daniel's land with Dave, Zac finds a gun buried in the underbrush.

Zac soon realises he may have found the gun used to kill Daniel's parents. He shows the gun to Daniel and the pair take the it to the police who match it to the gun used in the Blake murders. Hopper confronts Nathan demanding the names of his thieving mates but Trish leaps to Nathan's defence. Just when Neville thinks he's gotten Trish to give up on the work experience program, Father Patrick talks her around. Darcy denies ever owning a gun when questioned by Zac whose recent discovery has triggered some memories. Coral reassures Maurie that his role in her and Belinda's lives will not change with Daniel now on the scene. Daniel spends the day with Belinda. He's showing her some old home movies of himself and her mother when the police arrive. Belinda is horrified as Daniel is taken away by the police.

Police interview Daniel Blake who seems unconcerned, believing the police can now make progress towards finding his parents' killer. Neville, Hopper and Dean are all annoyed that Trish has being swayed by Father Patrick. With the police reopening the murder investigation, Coral warns Belinda that Daniel will once again be the subject of rumours but Belinda is ready to stand by him, confident her father will finally be vindicated. Trish talks Hopper into giving Nathan another shot at the café but Dean comes up with a foolproof plan to catch him out using a hidden camera and a $50 note. Zac remembers he also a jacket found with the gun. Belinda agrees to be interviewed by a journalist to tell Daniel's side of the story.
