Justin finds himself cornered and Tracy attempts to manage expectations.

Tracy announces she’s booked the Bull for her and Jazzer’s wedding reception, and she wants Chelsea and Brad to be her bride’s attendants. Tracy also lets Chelsea know that Den dropped off a card with a cheque for £100. She wants Chelsea and Brad to have the money, but Chelsea won’t take it. Later, Tracy apologises for mentioning Den’s cheque. Chelsea reveals Den told her and Brad that he’s lonely. Tracy has no sympathy for Den and is cross that he’s been trying to guilt-trip his children. She reminds Chelsea that she doesn’t owe her Dad anything. 
Lynda tells Paul they’re going with his original idea of randomly allocating countries to the variety show entrants. Her chalkboard method was a complete disaster. But Paul’s more concerned about the big screen they were going to borrow from The Bull. It’s nowhere near big enough. It’s all down to Justin withdrawing his offer of funding. Lynda asks Paul to fill her in on what happened with Justin at the Eurovision committee meeting. Paul does so, explaining how Justin went back on his word. He just doesn’t care. Lynda declares they need to make him care. She rings Justin to set up a meeting, at which she and Paul work together to secure money from him for the Eurovision event. Justin puts up a fight to begin with, but they use Lilian’s participation in the event to twist his arm. Afterwards, Lynda and Paul celebrate their success – if they can take on Justin Elliott just think what else they could achieve together!
