Phil ropes the band into playing at his parents' fiftieth wedding anniversary party, leaving the others furious that he has arranged a gig behind their backs. The band are not particularly happy either, fearing that performing for pensioners could turn them into a laughing stock.
Meanwhile, Phil's dad refuses to enjoy himself, the boys take a trip to a music shop in search of a guitar for Eddie, and events at the party take an unexpected turn.
