Edina's 'new' boyfriend Pete is a tape engineer who used to work at Abbey Road Studios during the time that The Beatles worked there, and he has found some of their unreleased tapes. In the number two studio, the girls have a ball and Edina sings her 'walking down the road' song she's composed in earlier episodes. We see one of their infamous hallucinatory sixties flashbacks in which Patsy is a man and they are present for the recording of Sgt. Pepper's. Back at home, Elton John had been invited to the party to debut the Beatles tapes, but gets annoyed and leaves when he discovers he was only invited to play piano in the background. Finally, just after proposing marriage to Edina, Pete plays the tapes at the party. Instead of The Beatles, we hear Edina singing. Apparently this is because Patsy had pressed the record button in the studio by mistake on the reel-to-reel recorder whilst she was looking for a second bottle of champagne in the control room, and Edina unknowingly sang over the tapes. After realizing they're lost forever, Pete promptly collapses on the floor.
