With Jaz and Ben growing closer, Regan wants Ben to deal with his past before getting involved with her sister. Little does Regan know the consequences her suggestion will have not only for Jaz and Ben's relationship, but for her and Jaz as well. When Grace sees Ingrid in town, she must decide whether to tell Marcus. After receiving her marks, Tayler has big plans for her future but can they involve Patrick?
