Extended Overview

Sean is tired of being treated like a hero when he sees his mother on the news doing an interview. Sean, Ellie Nash, Emma Nelson, and Jay Hogart all go to visit Wasaga Beach to see Sean's parents. Sean moves back to Wasaga with his parents, leaving Ellie heartbroken and a recluse. Meanwhile, Toby is rejected by J.T. and Danny for being friends with Rick. Then, Manny tells J.T. off, telling him he "out-geeks them all" and that he "Just can't be the bigger man." This causes J.T. to rethink his words, and then apologizes to Toby for how he treated him.

Many flashbacks take place from the incident with Rick in this episode and from Season 5.
This isn't the last appearance of Sean. He comes back in Season 6, but doesn't date Ellie again. Instead, he sets his sights on his old girlfriend, Emma, when she is going out with Peter Stone.
This episode is named after the song "Back in Black " by AC/DC.
The scene where Sean looks sad as his friends leave is one of the clips used in Daniel Clark's video montage in the Season 6 opening credits.
This episode marks the end of Ellie and Sean's relationship.
