Kenneth starts to regret employing non-English speaking Carmen and offering free treatment at the salon as first prize in the dance contest Joyce is organizing,to be judged by her old flame,professional dancer Cyril Babcock. Janice is puzzled when young Jack,her former stalker,reappears and claims not to recognize her,involving her in a fight with Trudy. However come the contest he sweeps her off her feet confessing it was all a ruse to get close to her. Fortunately Mick comes to her rescue whilst Gavin and Carmen win the competition,releasing Kenneth from giving the prize.

Mick is not pleased when his gormless younger brother Pete,who owes him money,arrives for his stag party with cantankerous father Stan in tow. Nonetheless a fancy dress bar crawl ensues but all ends in anti-climax when Stan admits that there is no wedding and Pete is just taking a break from being his father's carer.After Joyce insists there should be life guard cover at the pool Trudy plans to get the kiss of life from Mateo but ends up being revived by Les dressed as Pamela Anderson whilst Kenneth's misreading of a text from Troy almost leads to his splitting him up from Gavin.

After their night with the swingers,which Noreen enjoyed without understanding,she and Gavin get locked out on his balcony whilst Madge shocks her family by announcing her forthcoming marriage to Mohammed as a tax dodge to regain money owed to Mel by his father. The British Olympic Synchronised Swimming team arrive at the Solana,led by frosty Hazel McCafferty. Joyce delegates Liam to show the girls around but they trick him into taking them onto an 18 to 30 booze cruise. Whilst Trudy and Michael fail in their efforts to join the cruise as being too old or too young,come evening the girls are too smashed to give their gala demonstration. Fortunately Lesley saves the situation with an impromptu pool party and Joyce gets her own back on the snide Hazel.

As Madge prepares for her wedding to Mohammed Mick and Michael discover that he is no rich business man's son but a penniless actor out to marry Madge for her supposed fortune. The Garveys follow him to a medieval tournament recreation where the would-be groom gets his 'joust' deserts. Trudy meanwhile tries to play a trick on Sam by convincing her that she had sex with Liam but Sam and a borrowed pregnancy testing kit have the last laugh. Concerned that the Solana's bad press is due to a spy in the resort leaking all the disasters that have befallen it Joyce asks Donald and Jacqueline to shadow the staff to expose the culprit. Their result leads to a face from the past.
