Andy wants to take part in the Battle of the Bands, the prize being a residency at Val's club, which will mean he is near to Gwen. None of the musicians he auditions for his band are to his liking but Errol turns out to be an excellent keyboard player and so a duo is born. Andy tries to help Errol get a date with Ruby, a girl from school whom he fancies but this goes wrong when Ruby assumes Errol is gay because Andy thought he was doing the right thing in saying Errol liked One Direction. However the duo's performance at the battle goes down well, impressing both Shelley and Errol's teacher Melodie.
