Home and Away's Justin Morgan sabotages Lyrik with blunder

 "The band's going to kill me."

Home and Away spoilers follow from Tuesday's Australian episode (September 20), which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.

Home and Away's Justin Morgan has sparked a possible career setback for Lyrik.

Recent episodes in Australia have seen Justin take over as manager of the four-piece group, who had been struggling to deal with the admin responsibilities of their music careers.

The opening for a managerial position worked out perfectly for Justin, who had been eager to play some role in the band's success for some time.

In Tuesday's episode on Channel 7 in Australia, Justin overplayed his hand while trying to secure the best possible deals for Lyrik.

Justin felt out of his depth while negotiating with venues over suitable fees for Lyrik, so he sought advice from his no-nonsense partner Leah Patterson over how to be more assertive.

After listening to Leah's tips, Justin ambushed Mackenzie Booth at Salt and insisted on upping Lyrik's fee for future gigs.

Although Theo, Eden, Remi and Kirby have been travelling for various concerts, a significant chunk of their income relies on their regular appearances at Salt.

In a tense exchange, Justin pointed out that Lyrik's profile has increased significantly since Mac first started showcasing them, so he argued that a fee increase was appropriate.

Mac was unimpressed that Justin was hassling her at work without scheduling an official meeting, so she rebuffed his sloppy negotiating efforts.

The following day, Justin returned to Mac and forced her to concede that she has no ongoing contract with Lyrik. He then demanded a 20% increase in their future payments for gigs.

Later, Justin reported back to Leah once more, admitting that his plans had backfired yet again.

Justin explained: "I overplayed my hand. Mac has cancelled all future Lyrik gigs at Salt. The band's going to kill me."

Can Justin salvage the situation before Lyrik find out?
