Something in the Air

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.
