Series 1, Episode 7 - Bittersweet Symphony

A small lie from Hadley sees him passing himself off as the bad boy of Harp, and all for the new love of his life. Meanwhile, Aretha is the lucrative voice of the yappy nappy puppy - unfortunately they insist she be the face of it, too.

Further details

Hadley is smitten with Verity, a classical music loving harp player, and in order to gain her affections he passes himself off as the bad boy of harp. Will their relationship last the course when Verity finds out the truth, or does the plucky harpist have an ulterior motive for her friendship with Hadley?

Aretha, meanwhile, goes behind her parents' backs and signs a lucrative contract to become the voice of the yappy nappy puppy. Angry that Aretha did not consult them first, Gary and Shalondra decide to get their own back. They trick Aretha into believing that she will have to perform the song dressed as a puppy in shopping centres across the country.
