It's Loxfest, and Roy has got some news.
Jamie and Dan pull in to Loxfest and are greeted by the sight of several anti Quaintance Smith protesters getting into a tussle with Roy.
Harrison Burns buys Fallon a beanie hat and enjoys taking credit for her inspired idea of a vintage van. He's nervous about singing, but bucks up beyond recognition following a good luck/ thank you kiss.
Roy and Elizabeth await news of a new headline band. Elizabeth worries, having staked everything on this event.
Dan and Jamie set up camp. Dan is Mr Practical, using his army training with survival and organisational tips for Jamie. Jamie teases Dan about Dan's punishment for falling asleep on sentry duty. Dan takes his new role seriously though.
As they enjoy the festival, Dan finds childish Freddie rather tiresome, and disapproves of Freddie smoking.
Jolene's still nervous about performing, but Kenton's full of support as he notices she's wearing the waistcoat he bought her. Jolene finally goes on, as Roy excitedly announces to Elizabeth that the new headline act is confirmed. They've got the Pet Shop Boys!
