As much as Xavier is trying to protect Brendan, it's still not a good idea of him not breathe a word about it to anyone, this is not something he should deal with on his own. I don't like Hugo the way he bullishly goes at Xavier for his selfishness (Hugo isn't selfless himself). Brendan getting agitated by police presence and Charlie mentions slingshot (as Brendan calls it "Sticks"). It was miraculous how Brendan survived that horrific fall from the tree. Xavier is still admitting to Hugo (even though he'll blast), Martha at least someone about Brendan did to Roman - Xavier only seems to save his own skin, as usual.
Trey Palmer, on the other hand, despite his genuine innocence in Roman's accident as he was suspected playing with the manmade slingshot (which Brendan lost). The timeline is confusing when he found the slingshot to the high school where he confessing smashing the windows and seen at the beach party with it. I don't know why Ruby is in this episode against Trey (calling him as his mates stupid, for their actions, thinking he's responsible for Roman) then in later episodes he finds Trey hunky.
Kirsty (by beautiful Christie Hayes) receives a letter signed by Trey: absolving her of any wrong doing during her time tutoring. Way she looks uneased and claims to have found it under the door, somehow I found it suspicious: that she's lying. It then revealed in following episode, it was Kirsty (not Trey) who did up the letter, making Trey sign it to make it look officially genuine. I'd say Trey also saves his own skin in whatever mess he's in: indeed, Kirsty shouldn't have lied to police: denying being his genuine alibi, yet if Trey admits the truth about Kirsty's innocence at tutoring session, he wouldn't be prime suspect in police investigation and he had no right to threateningly confront Kirsty, bullying her what he wants her to say. Goes bad to worse when Miles intercepts and assaults him and Kirsty eventually comes clean with no choice: she vouches Trey's alibi in Roman's accident (she broke the directive Bartlett gave her, who's not going to happy) - makes Trey's timeline that night more confusing.
This episode directed by Sam Atwell (one who plays Kirsty's husband Kane) - that's quite a coincidence.
