Costumier Scott usually hides behind the drag queen Casta Hex, but tonight he's shedding his alter ego as he sits down with George, who may strut in like a catwalk star, but hasn't dated in five years. Former Olympian Simon and 60-year-old stable manager Louise are both seeking love later in life, while disco queen Priscilla and bhangra-loving accountant Raj both want fun, but can their musical tastes mix? Twenty-three-year-old Jack is feeling nervous about his blind date and hopes he can find some common ground with Rachella.
