• A stranger arrives in Emu Springs. Who is he? Whoever he is, it's clear he's not impressed with the local radio station 3ES where Ryan is in the chair and station manager Helen Virtue is enchanted with the rhythms of the Tango. Julia Rutherford tries to organise a forthcoming ball but her committee members are more interested in the arrogant new arrival. It's Ryan and the ambitious Megan McGregor who finally put a name to the face and a voice to the man. It's Golden Tonsils himself, Tom Dooley.

• Harry sacks Tom, but the damage has been done. Doug thinks he has been exposed, but when it's revealed that the people of Emu Springs are none the wiser about his private life, he instructs Helen to get Tom back. He's good for business. Tom then wrongly identifies Helen as an ally and says he won't work without her. Helen accepts the challenge. When Harry learns that Len has 'spun a yarn' about early Oz Rock, he is not concerned. He's found a new friend in Emu Springs.

• Unhappy with the direction his breakfast show is taking and fearing professional embarrassment, Tom reclaims his breakfast spot. As Stephanie and Jerry prepare to leave town, their attention is drawn to his voice on the radio. Driven by her scoop mentality, Stephanie heads over to 3ES for an exclusive interview with the banished king of radio.

• Len finds solace in the bottle as he struggles to cope with the news that he is dying. Mon seeks to mend the rift between Len and their absent son, Wayne. Stuart is being mysterious about plans for the pub. Tom digs his heels in about keeping the new announcers' chair which forces Helen's hand and she hatches a scheme to teach him a valuable lesson. There's war in the Sabatini household over Joe's decision to invest in fine wool sheep.

• There are winners and losers when Stuart introduces the pokies to Emu Springs. It's payback time for the recalcitrant Tom over the chair issue. Len surrenders to Mon's gentle persuasion and agrees to co-operate in the treatment of his condition. Although the question of their son, Wayne, remains unresolved. Joe and Sally reconcile over the investment opportunity debacle. Harry and Jason further their advertising careers.

• Helen, Harry, Len and Mon each have a different perspective on the discovery of the gold and bones, and each has trouble keeping the find to themselves. It's not long before the news spreads and Dr Eva reveals the bones aren't human. The feud between Tom and Stuart hots up when Tom announces on air that he's been ripped off. Bonnie reveals her presence during Father Brian's show 'Fess Up' - and an intriguing conversation develops, culminating in her taking flight.

• After Tom narrowly avoids colliding with Dr Eva's rail trolley, he uses the airways to vent his road rage. He challenges her right to use the line and her professional approach as a doctor. Dr Eva comes to the station to confront him over this. Instead of the apology he's expecting, Tom gets an insult. The war is on. Tom goes out of his way to check up on her professional credentials. And what he finds out surprises him. She doesn't seem to have any. When he broadcasts this fact to Emu Springs, the small town becomes divided. Meanwhile things in Helen's home life are also pressing; Harry is evasive of work at school and Joe is obsessed with his new stud ram who refuses to mate with his ewes. Just what is the problem?

• Emu Springs is a pressure cooker. Joe is frustrated by the non-performing ram who won't reproduce. Harry has been asked to write an essay on his life but nothing's coming. After the death of his dad, his life seems empty. He looks to inspiration from Helen , but she is too busy dealing with the war between Tom and Dr Eva. He goes to Len for help and inadvertently becomes party to an act of betrayal. The footy team has decided, because of Len's ill health, to drop him as coach. Outwardly Len takes the news with courage and anger but he is devastated. Harry tries to cheer him up with some of Dr Eva's healing oils. Despite the writ Dr Eva has issued against Tom, he continues informing his listeners about Eva's absence of qualifications. Dr Eva is concerned her patients will lose confidence in her. But when Len collapses it is Dr Eva who Mon turns to for help.

• Tom continues his persecution of Dr Eva. Mon takes matters into her own hands by trying to enforce his pedestrian mode of transport. Dr Eva finally comes clean and shows Helen her registration papers. Joe and Sally try alternative methods to inspire Gary the ram, but to no avail. Julia is forced by public attention to swap the rams. Harry is caught up with the problems of life and goal umpiring, whilst Stuart and Ryan are sheepish about their involvement in getting Len sent to hospital with an attack.

• Tom apologizes on air to Dr Eva sporting a rooster peck. He has to swallow his pride and present himself to her for an injection before lockjaw sets in. Joe and Sally are delighted, the new ram's a beauty. They share with Julia a drunken long celebratory lunch. Helen has a visit from Harry's teacher about his inspired cartoon work, and Harry ends up doing the dance of his father with his mother - the tango.

• When Doug announces the sales of 3ES to the staff, they are divided, leaving Helen to take some drastic action in a last ditch effort to impede the sale. Meanwhile, Megan commences her late night music show, adopting much of Tom's 'intimate' style, and is flattered when she attracts the attention of Sean, one of her listeners.

• As a last ditch effort to avoid the sales of 3ES, Helen takes some drastic action. Julia also voices her disapproval and Doug is left between a rock and a hard place. Sean's pestering continues but Megan devises her own creative solution. Joe is out of action due to a football injury, which increases Sally's workload, while Julia offers her assitance in running the general store, which allows Mon to visit Len without losing business.

• The football team are rocked by Len's strange behaviour, and like the rest of the town are further devastated by his latest announcement. Sean confronts Megan about her 'public and private face', while Sally makes a small confession to Joe.
