Felix (Adam Leese) holds Luke (Sol Heras) hostage in his dressing room and drugs him unconscious, whisking him away to the basement, tying him up and demanding that either Latex Luke or Real Luke must be gone from his life forever.

Vernon is put in charge of the “all or nothing” contract and Mal (Sean Gallagher) rejoices in preparing to get the upper hand from Karina (Michelle Collins). The scales finally fall from Jinx’s eyes when she realizes Mal has used her to make Karina jealous and still doesn’t want her to have the baby. Pete (James Anderson) is likewise hounded to breaking point when it becomes apparent that Luke has gone missing and Mal holds Pete responsible.

With Luke a no show, the live final is stalled for as long as possible but it appears as if Bethany (Holly Quin-Ankrah) may have to win by default. Mal makes a desperate bid to steal the contract and dispose of it, but Vernon (Gary Cooke) was wise to this possibility and kept the contract on his person.

Bethany, still struggling with her mother’s revelation that she is underage, is unwilling to win by default and must be talked down from walking away.

Trapped in the basement with Felix, Luke manages to escape by head-butting him. The blow brings Felix back to his normal servile ways and a suitably shamed Felix scurries off into the night, leaving Luke to break free. Luke arrives onstage in the nick of time and the result is announced –

Either* –

Luke is declared the winner and a desperate Karina steals the “all or nothing” contract from Mal and tries to run off with it.

Or* – Bethany is declared the winner and a desperate Mal steals the “all or nothing” contract from Karina and tries to run off with it.

They chase one another onto the top of a deserted stage gantry where the two of them get trapped, the contract falls from reach and gets destroyed. Both Jinx (Sophia Dawnay) and Pete walk out on Mal, Pete going so far as to turn out the lights on their perilous predicament. Jinx resolves to keep the baby and make Mal pay. Mal and Karina are left literally hanging in the balance, and it looks to be game over until an unlikely savior appears in the form of Felix. Felix has returned in search of Latex Luke, finally determined to make good with his latex love. A desperate Mal and Karina offer Felix the world to help rescue them, and Felix makes his intentions clear for the next series of Rock Rivals – he wants to be a star.

Chaos is just around the corner on the live show Rock Rivals Extra broadcast. Luke is reconciled with Dana and proposes to her live on the after-show. The jubilation is short-lived however, when Pete lets slip to Luke about the lies told to his mum on Mal’s behalf that led to her tragic death. Luke attacks Pete.

Carson (Siva Kaneswaran) and Caleb (Kumar Kaneswaran) meanwhile, have videoed secret footage of Vernon and Addison (Robert Sheehan) in a love tryst and blackmail Vernon into giving them a record contract. Bethany tries to announce her deception live on air, but Lynette (Alison Newman) cuts her short by attacking her. The whole broadcast descends into a gigantic scuffle as the contestants finally vent their true fury on one another.
