Summary

Kenton catches Jolene up on Justin’s plans for the Coronation Illumination, assuring her The Bull will not be entering. But despite slagging off Justin so recently, Jolene reckons it could be a great opportunity for The Bull. Kenton counters that while Justin would supply the lights, they’d still have to pay for the electricity. Confident they’d more than make the cost back in sales, Jolene overrules Kenton and insists they’re putting themselves forward. Kenton and Freddie talk over Lower Loxley’s controversial painting. Presuming David spoke to Elizabeth on his behalf, Freddie says the painting has been taken down and is waiting to go into storage. Kenton thinks Freddie should be proud of himself for sticking to his guns. Freddie then assures Kenton The Bull won’t get chosen for the Coronation Illumination; his Lower Loxley pitch will win hands down. Freddie tells Lynda he’s picked Italy for the Eurovision show. Lynda explains how her expertise was called upon to get the event up and running, and of course, she’s very happy to help. In The Bull, Freddie discovers that Ian has rubbed Freddie’s name off the whiteboard and put his own name up for Italy instead. Freddie reckons it shows what Ian’s really like – ruthless. Tracy says Freddie’s not the only one who’s been rubbed out. Not wanting to get involved Kenton gives Freddie a lift back to Lower Loxley, while Lynda resolves the problems with the Eurovision chalkboard. Tracy suggests choosing countries by pulling names out of a hat and Jolene’s relieved when Lynda agrees.
