When hunky Jason Gallagher (former Brookside star Philip OIivier) turns up at the Solana looking for work, Mateo gives him short shrift, telling him there are no jobs available. However, when the barman skives off, the newcomer seizes the opportunity to stand in for him without permission, and quickly attracts a crowd with his cocktail-making skills. Manager Joyce is impressed and offers him a week's trial, but Mateo is soon battling to reclaim the limelight. Meanwhile, Tiger leads Michael astray by persuading him to help steal the hotel's all-inclusive wristbands and sell them in town.

Following the stag weekend, best man Martin wakes up in bed next to Bianca, but there's a shock in store when she reveals her true age and he steels himself to face the music with Clive and Tonya. Meanwhile, Kenneth has a crisis at the salon, and when Joyce sets up a volleyball court by the pool, umpire Mateo bends the rules of the game so he can win a bet against Tiger and Michael.
