Julie Cook is back in her position as deputy manager after her temporary promotion to store manager while Gavin was away. However, the excitement of her return quickly dissipates as Julie realizes that managing a store is much more challenging than she expected.
In this episode titled "Episode 10," tensions are running high as Valco prepares for its annual swap day with rival supermarket, Lauda. The day is meant to encourage employees from both stores to swap places for a day, gaining insights into their competitors' operations. While some employees are excited about the opportunity, others dread the thought of leaving their comfortable routines at Valco.
As the day begins, Julie is determined to make an impression on the regional manager who will be visiting Valco. However, her plans are constantly disrupted by unruly employees, customer complaints, and unexpected challenges. She finds herself torn between keeping the store running smoothly and dealing with personal issues that arise throughout the day.
Meanwhile, Leighton faces a dilemma of his own when he discovers his favorite cashier, Katie, will be temporarily working at Lauda. Consumed by jealousy, Leighton tries to sabotage the swap by convincing Katie that Valco is much better than Lauda. However, his plan backfires as Katie becomes convinced that Leighton is trying to hide something from her.
At the same time, Colin has found his calling as a shelf-stacker and refuses to let anyone else take his place at Valco. He believes that swapping with Lauda would be a waste of his exceptional shelf-stacking skills. His stubbornness leads to an amusing confrontation with Lisa, who is determined to work at Lauda for the day and prove herself in a different environment.
As the chaos ensues, Margaret struggles to keep control of the situation and maintain a positive image for the visiting regional manager. She finds herself constantly firefighting the various issues that arise, from shelf-stocking disasters to customer complaints about misplaced products.

The swap day teaches them to appreciate their own store's strengths while acknowledging the strengths of their competitors.
By the end of the day, the Valco team comes together to overcome the obstacles and make a positive impression on the visiting regional manager.
