Loxfest has a PR disaster, and Wayne steps in to help Jolene.

Elizabeth and Jolene are both looking forward to Loxfest starting. But as she learns about the size and scale of the festival - and the stages - Jolene becomes anxious about performing.

Fallon and Emma have gone to pick up Fallon's new vintage van. Meanwhile Wayne arrives to help Jolene and the Midnight Walkers get their groove back. Wayne reminisces about the good old days, and the chemistry the two of them had together, which needs to rub off onto Harrison Burns.

Susan's annoyed with Ed for staying out last night and not saying anything. She'd made him dinner. She also frets about her hair, ruing the hairnets she has to wear at Bridge Farm.

Elizabeth endures a terrible radio interview, attempting to promote Loxfest. Host Rhiannon grills Elizabeth over the inclusion of Quaintance Smith and controversial lead singer Troy Sturn, who has met scandal amid accusations of beating his girlfriend. Rhiannon gets personal - would Elizabeth let her own daughter listen to the bad? Rhiannon's clearly after her big scoop.

Wayne hears the interview and tells Jolene not to worry. All eyes will be on Elizabeth now.

Off air, Rhiannon admits to liking Quaintance Smith, and is looking forward to covering Loxfest. Angry Elizabeth plans to speak to Roy very soon.
