In a break from band auditions Jazzer joins Tracy in the beer garden, where Tortoise the cat is happy to be fed a morsel of chicken as a treat. Tracy can’t believe Jazzer thought Martyn was having an affair with Lilian. They agree Martyn needs cheering up; a new girlfriend might help.

Ed and Fallon mull over the band members they’ve seen so far. None of them seem right and Ed comments they’re making him feel old. He wonders ruefully if they’re past the ‘band’ stage. Later with their last prospect a no-show they admit defeat. They wish they could locate their original member, Ash. Jazzer produces an old publicity photo they reminisce. When he plays a cassette of their music as well, it proves too much and Fallon begs him to turn it off. She and Ed agree they were awful, but Jazzer insists they had raw talent. When their only half suitable auditionee turns them down due to ‘musical differences’, they see the funny side and decide to have a jam for old times’ sake.
Eddie’s still complaining about the Bull food. Jolene wonders if something’s upset him, but Ed backs his dad up. The customer has to have what they want. Jolene grits her teeth and changes Eddie’s meal. When he finds a chair too wobbly, Jolene’s had enough, and Ed tells his dad to come clean. They admit Eddie’s been testing the level of service – there’s a pub award up for grabs and he’s nominated the Bull! And they’ve passed all his tests with flying colours.
