Although they deeply regret their actions, Mark and Aaron realize that the extent of Piper’s emotional outburst was not normal and could be a sign of a bigger mental health problem. For this reason, they give David (Takaya Honda) a call, believing she needs the help of a medical professional.

David suggests that Piper starts regular therapy, as well as medication to treat anxiety and depression. Piper doesn’t agree though and stubbornly refuses his help.

Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) is obviously very worried for her daughter and asks Steph (Carla Bonner) to talk with Piper about her own experience of mental health problems. This thankfully works and Piper finally opens up about how she feels – fearing that accepting medication would make her appear weak.

Steph reminds Piper that mental health is just as valid as physical health so there’s no need to be embarrassed about asking for help. Piper finally commits to a recovery plan – is this the start of Piper getting better?
