Perri loses her nerve after she nearly drowns saving a first-time surfer. She bonds with him, trying to understand her fear, but he starts to play on it for her attention. The gang design surfboards & Bec subconsciously paints Edge on hers, revealing a crush even she didn't know she had.
Perri rescues someone from the surf, only to discover that he's an adrenalin junkie who's risked both their lives to seek attention. She's hailed as a hero but is so traumatised that she vows never to rescue anyone again. It's Matt who gives her the confidence to go back on patrol. He teaches her some self-defence techniques so she won't have to risk her own life to save someone else's.
