S03:E15 - Episode 15

Loren and Charley's relationship hits new heights when a picnic at the beach sees their friendship blossom into romance. The problem is however that they become so infatuated with each other that they begin to neglect their housemates. 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. And then when Adam calls a house meeting to discuss concerns about Bec and Garry's growing absences, Charley and Loren appear to be excluded. To top it off, when Loren finds Cassie asleep in her bed - she takes it as a sure sign that Cassie and Bridget's 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 housemates 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.
