And there's a welcome distraction for Elly, when she and bestie Chloe Brennan (April Rose Pengilly) have a heart-to-heart about the status of their feelings for each other and finally start making plans for their date!

Elsewhere, Bea pleads for ex-boyfriend Ned Willis's (Ben Hall) help dealing with Finn Kelly's (Rob Mills) obsessed stalker Alfie Sutton (Harry Borland).

But Ned is wary of racing to Bea's rescue again after a warning from his now girlfriend Yashvi Rebecchi (Olivia Junkeer) to keep his distance.

However, when Yashvi discovers Alfie is planning to break into the Kennedy house during the Music Festival, she decides to take matters into her own hands and confront the intruder.
