The Garveys arrive for the new season but run into trouble at customs when Madge's crushed tanning powder is mistaken for something illegal and Mick is held overnight. Meanwhile Kenneth, running his hair salon with Liam, accidentally starts a fire, which does not impress Clive and Tonya Dyke from Watford, who already see the Solana as a dump. They are also less than impressed by the overtures of Jacqueline and Donald, who stage a protest to insure the free holiday they were promised. Whilst the Dykes' boy Tiger leads Michael astray - including getting a tattoo - Tonya is suspicious of Clive's genuine efforts to be helpful to Janice and Kenneth has to appear in front of the hairdressers' Mafia don Herbert, who turns out to be harmless and a friend of Kenneth's mother.

Mick is released from prison and Janice grudgingly accepts a lift from Clive to go and meet him though, thanks to Donald's navigation, they end up getting lost. Michael covers his tattoo in a bandage and begs Janice not to tell his father but he and Tiger still run riot, stealing cigarettes and raiding the office whilst the Dykes' daughter Bianca arrives and is mistaken for a prostitute. Mateo is angry when Joyce employs hunky young Jason as a barman on a week's trial as he is a hit with the ladies and better at making cocktails. Les introduces Mateo to a friend who will school him to beat the younger man at a cocktails shaking contest but in the meantime Kenneth discovers that Jason is a wanted man and provides information that will remove him from the Solanas.
