Did I miss something?

Well he made the comment in Beth's room that he was having issues with the whole abstinence thing? But even so that was still a quick jump lol

I think the girl from the lake said something to Beth later about trying to save him. If you remember The Wicker Man, Britt Ekkland tested their proposed Virgin sacrifice by trying to seduce him. I think this was similar - by having sex she thought she was "disqualifying" him from being sacrifice? That's all I can think of ...

Because as Sir Lachlan stated while he was driving back from his meeting, the men of Tressock are sterile because of the reactor accident that seeped into the groundwater. So they need fresh blood from outside to impregnate local women in order to have children.

Steve ended up meeting Lolly there because the groom sent him in that direction because she knew Lolly would be swimming nude in the river. It was a set up. That should be obvious.

Why did Steve have sex with the girl in the lake? It came out of nowhere! Why did he even get in the lake?
