Elly is confronted by Chloe's suggestion they give dating a go, but she is whisked away to deal with work drama, leaving Chloe at a loose end. Susan has organised a meeting with irate school mum Angela Lane, hoping to assuage her concerns about Elly's ability to be a responsible teacher. But Angela refuses to back down, insisting Elly isn't a suitable role model for the students and calls for her removal.
Having witnessed the heated exchange between the women, Kirsha fears Susan will have to fire Elly. Elly is on the verge of resigning, until Kirsha joins forces with Angela's daughter, Lacy, and they both present Susan with a petition to keep Ms Conway at school. Elly is touched by the support and Angela agrees to let her daughter remain at the school. Buoyed by her win at work, Elly returns to Chloe and says yes to a date.
Meanwhile, Bea pleads for Ned's help to stop Alfie from harassing Finn but Ned refuses. Given their history, Ned can't intimidate anyone for her. But Yashvi can't help feeling responsible for the predicament Bea finds herself in and is worried about her.
Bea steals Finn's glasses and tries bartering with Alfie to leave Finn alone. Alfie seemingly backs down, but Yashvi discovers he's planning to break into the Kennedy house while the music festival is on. Unable to alert the police without causing more trouble for Finn, and unwilling to warn Bea – who is due to give the performance of her life shortly – Yashvi takes matters into her own hands and heads to the Kennedy house, ready to face the intruder. She's poised at the door with Karl's guitar as a weapon when it opens. Yashvi swings the guitar, stunned to discover she has knocked out Susan.
Elsewhere, the mad rush to get ready for the Live at Lassiters Music Festival throws Pierce and Chloe into each other's orbit. Pierce accuses Chloe of focusing on someone else in order to avoid him. However, Chloe insists she knows what she wants and he's not it. Pierce regrets letting Chloe go in the first place, and it seems all hope for a future with her is lost when he sees Chloe and Elly make plans for their date.
