Gabriel returns to Melbourne and stays with Vince and Ally. His attraction to Ally is noticed by everyone but her. When Max discovers the body of a man, it becomes a secret that is kept.

When the police arrive at the dead man's house, where the teenagers are having a party, Max calls Nat so that he doesn't get his father Tim involved in the situation.

When Ally tells Vince she kissed someone while out on the town with Nat, Vince becomes extremely jealous. Meanwhile Tim starts to question how much his career means to him.

Still affected by the crisis at his work, Tim goes out on a flirtatious, alcohol-fuelled night with Nat, which devastates Christine. Meanwhile, Gigi tells her mum something.

Tim finds out through Em that Vince's shady dealings will compromise him politically and could destroy his career. With his marriage on the line, Vince struggles to manage his family.

In the first episode of the second season, Showcase's outstanding drama Tangle will question old friendships and establish new relationships as well.
