She’s too embarrassed to attend her school’s cultural festival and face the public reaction to her photo.
Later though, when she asks what people are saying about her photos, Phoenix reveals that his mates think she's hot.
Jasmine’s surprised and encouraged - but it's a lie to protect Jasmine’s feelings.
Kylie decides to better her prospects by taking on extra work to achieve them.

A weary Chris misconstrues Harry’s refusal to be looked after by Rachel as a sign he doesn’t feel safe with her.
When Rachel sees Chris has chosen Bella to baby-sit Harry, she’s hurt, but increasingly guilty over her role in Harry’s injury.
Meanwhile, Bella is concerned when the usually cruisy Harry lashes out at her.
It’s too painful for Harry confide his feelings about the separation, so he channels his anger towards Chris, saying that Chris’s fault that he got burnt.
Bella tries to check this with Rachel, whose anxiety increases.
When Bella questions Chris, he’s forced to admit that Harry’s struggling to trust her. Rachel’s shattered.
Later, however, Chris is shocked to realise that he is the real source of Harry’s anger and hatred, not Rachel.
Regretting that he’s been unable to sufficiently help Harry deal with the aftermath of his split from Rachel, Chris rallies to support his son.
When Harry grudgingly accepts his apology, Chris is downcast to realise he still has a long way to go.
Harry continues to blame him and a disheartened Chris feels out of his depth.

Wound up, Josh enlists Roimata’s support to call TK off but TK staunchly goes with his gut and it pays off.
