Barons Episode 5 (S1EP5 ABC TV Sun 22 May 2022)

Hunter (George Pullar) is attempting to run a viable LightWave USA office despite Buddy’s (Lincoln Younes) lack of business acumen. Buddy is also preoccupied with Kelly’s (Megan MacKenzie) Hollywood ambitions, and unintentionally jeopardises a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her. Meanwhile, Hunter persuades Cee Cee’s (Meg Fraser) uncle to stock LightWave in his successful Mid West department store.

Hunter’s uncle, impressed by her confidence, agrees, giving LightWave USA a much-needed financial boost. Trotter is still owed the promised licence fee.

Snapper (Ben O’Toole) proposes to Dani (Sophie Forrest) in Woogonga in order to assist her in obtaining a bank loan to open her own shop. To celebrate, Trotter (Sean Keenan) throws them a ‘engagement party,’ but rumours circulate that Snapper is planning to start making boardshorts at Bare Feet. When Trotter hears the fake news, he loses control and attacks Snapper, effectively ending their brief truce. When Margaux (Vivienne Awosoga) steps in and makes her an offer she can’t refuse, Dani calls off the wedding.

Trotter, still enraged by Snapper, informs Tracy (Jilllian Nguyen) that LightWave is about to enter the wetsuit business.
