Elizabeth has a crisis of confidence. Meanwhile, Ed has high hopes.

As the Loxfest security fences go up, Roy gives Freddie his security pass and gets him to run an errand. Elizabeth's worried about poor ticket sales and the recent negative publicity surrounding Quantaince Smith. Roy makes the point that, despite Loxfest being his idea, Elizabeth is doing it for the children - and for Nigel. Elizabeth doesn't like hearing this. She feels she has let Nigel down.

Radio Borsetshire want another interview. Elizabeth tells Roy to do it but Freddie says she should, to shout about Loxfest like Nigel would have done. After all, Elizabeth has worked so hard for this.

Fallon's glad to have Emma helping her make cakes for Loxfest. They've taken over Susan's kitchen. Ed can barely move as Emma teases Fallon about last Friday's 'date' with PC Burns (set up by Jazzer).

Fallon listens in on a tense band rehearsal with Jolene and Harrison. It seems there's no spark. Fallon insists they need to call her dad, Wayne, for help.

Chuffed Ed is keen to make the most of his cultivation work for Adam. But Emma's concerned that she's also busy and they're relying too much on her parents to look after the children. Ed reminds Emma that if they make the most of this opportunity they could start thinking about renting their own place again. She's touched.
