Winter Cool Music Festival - Stage Area
The music festival is happening, and the kids are enjoying it. Lucas unpacks the car whilst Elle arrives, having found Donna. Donna gives him a hug and kiss.
DONNA: How great is this? I didn't know they let old people in.
LUCAS: Yeah, I had to lie about Elle's age.
DONNA: I didn't know you were so...into nature...
ELLE: What?! I LOVE nature!
LUCAS: That's why she bought a whole carton of antibacterial wipes.
Lucas lets on that Elle has also bought 6 pairs of shoes, silk pyjamas and ear plugs, which Donna finds very amusing. The girls run off together.
Elsewhere, the kids are wondering how to get backstage to see one of the bands. Declan and Didge try it on with a security guard who ain't havin' any of it, dude, but when he has to go sort out a fight, Declan and Didge run backstage. Sunny apologises to Zeke for chickening out of trying to get backstage, and they decide to wander off together.
Meanwhile, another band plays, and Elle and Lucas are in the crowd, this time.
Winter Cool Music Festival - Tent
In a tent, Sunny is still whinging and telling Zeke to not be nice to her. She reiterates that her parents wouldn't have understood that she was with someone like Zeke - he's unstable. Zeke gets all upset, but they establish that she meant 'respectable', not crazy. They kiss.

Over at the music stage, Donna and Ringo spot Elle and Lucas in the crowd. The older couple are wearing ear plugs.
DONNA: Not bad for a geriatric!
LUCAS: (mishearing) Oh, yeah, I've had 'em for years.
RINGO: (indicating the band) Do you like these guys?
ELLE: Oh, well, about half an hour?
DONNA: What?!
Didge and Declan appear, having run out from the backstage area. They met someone from The Presets band, and Bridget is thrilled that Declan made her sneak in! Everyone suddenly wonders where Zeke and Sunny are, and the boys decide to go investigate. Lucas goes after them, then spots the security guard. Seemingly curious, and perhaps recognising him, he follows the security guard to a barn where some gambling appears to be going on. Reluctantly, Lucas walks away.

Sunny and Zeke are kissing when they are sprung by Ringo and Declan, who pounce on them. Mortified, Sunny runs off, all stroppy again. Zeke runs out after her, concerned.

Another band are playing when Sunny runs past them, hysterically, into the woods. Zeke shouts her name, trying to find her.
Ramsay Street
Callum and Benny are playing footie in the street when Lou and Mickey come out to walk the dogs. Lou says he likes walking the dogs, it's good karma to do something for someone else; but Mickey says he wouldn't do it for less than $5, the spoilt, selfish brat. Of course he wouldn't do it as a kind favour.
Lou seizes an opportunity, and asks Harry if he and Sophie would like to earn some cash. He then calls Susan and asks if Audrey is getting enough exercise.

Zeke tells Donna and Didge that Sunny's done a runner. They wonder where she is.
Number 26
Steve has put up candles around the house, and ordered dinner. Miranda likes all this romance stuff, and she'd also really like...but it doesn't matter. Lou is home, early, and has brought the kids with him to get them some food to say thank you. In disbelief that their romantic night has been ruined - again - Steve and Miranda stare on as Harry establishes he was paid $7.50 an hour whilst Callum and Sophie only got $5 and $4 respectively. The kids agree that unless they all earn the same, they're going on strike.
HARRY: Pay us all the maximum rate, or we go on strike. Whaddya say, comrades?
CALLUM: Yeah!
SOPHIE: Yeah! Uh - what's a strike?
HARRY: It means we don't go anywhere until we get what we want.
STEVE: Hey hey - hang on...
MIRANDA: You don't have to strike right here, do you?
CALLUM: It's as good as anywhere. So. Got any chips?
Winter Cool Music Festival - Forest
Sunny suddenly realises that she's lost in the woods.

Zeke is trying to contact Sunny, but she's not answering her phone. The boys are also sorry that they upset her. They agree to go and find her, whilst Bridget stays in the tent, just in case Sunny comes back.
Harold's Store
Toadie and Steve are chatting, and Steve is explaining the strike, and the lock-in that's going to happen on their couch. Toadie thinks that Steve needs a mediator.
Number 26
Steve and Toadie arrive home to find Miranda handing out bowls of crisps. Lou stands nearby.
STEVE: Hey hey - what, what are you doing?!
MIRANDA: They were hungry.
STEVE: No, no! Don't feed them! They'll never leave!
LOU: I'm with you, I say starve them out.
MIRANDA: I'm on the workers' side.
Toadie steps in. He says they're going to negotiate, one by one:
The kids agree to $10 an hour.
Miranda and Steve want them paid and out so they can...watch TV. Yeah, right.
Lou agrees to negotiate when he realises he can charge the owners more.
Sophie wants it in writing.
Toadie says that Lou will shout them a milkshake.
It's a deal!
Everyone leaves bar Miranda and Steve, who looks his wife up and down and wants to get back to their evening. But Miranda has a proposition: she wants Steve to take the vets off the market, to leave the hotel, and come back home to be her husband.
He throws his arms around her, thrilled.

Lucas and Elle are listening to the next band. Lucas sees the guards all getting together and wanders off after them, leaving Elle alone. Elle steps back in horror as a girl in front of her dances wildly. But the girl turns around, and in the funniest scene of the episode, Elle starts to dance a little, too. Then a big move. Then a lot. Elle dancing, at an open-air festival.
Who'd a thunk it?!

Ringo, Elle and Donna return to the tent where Didge is, and try to call Sunny. Bridget gets through, and Zeke also returns. Speaking to Sunny, Zeke tries to get her to establish where she is. She says it's cliffy (first warning sign) and hilly (second warning sign).
She then promptly falls down a cliff with a badly dubbed scream.
