At the Beach Club, Joe's optimism is rising. But can Emily finally put her doubts aside? Adjoa, an intellectual with the poise of a rom-com heroine, is paired with free-spirited Vim. Their date is a clash of worlds. She adores order, even down to her cleaning products, while he thrives on spontaneity and globe-trotting adventures. Sami turns heads as she finds herself at the centre of attention. Father-of-one Carl is drawn to her charm, while personal trainer Jacques also competes for her attention and possibly even her affections. Should Sami follow her head or her heart? And for Fin and Alex that big question in the sun arises once again: is this a holiday romance, or could it be the start of something long-lasting? 

Glamorous single mum Aimee - self-titled as 'brainbox Barbie' - makes her Beach Club debut, hoping to find her Ken. Does Disney prince lookalike Flynn fit the bill? And is there a twist in the tale? The first chapter for some couples draws to a close as Jessie and Darren, and Charlie and Elle, pack up their sun-kissed romances. Were they merely holiday flings, or maybe the start of something longer lasting? Support worker Joe has never had a girlfriend. His brutal honesty and pun-packed humour usually send dates running. How will veterinary nurse Emily get along with Joe's quirks and jokes?

The Spanish sun turns up the heat as Charlie makes a crucial decision. Jessie and Darren swap the dinner table for a fishing date. But as the lines are cast, will they be drawn closer together? Megan and Mike prepare to test the waters. Is it all smooth sailing or will they run aground before midnight? Forensics student Fin arrives with high hopes and immediately meets curly-haired dreamboat Alex. 

In this first episode, the doors of First Dates Beach Club swing open for the very first time as Fréd and the team welcome a wave of singles to Spain. Charlie, an ex-bouncer with a soft side, makes an impression on Layla, a single mum of two who's ready to dive back into dating. Unlucky-in-love teacher Jessie feels a connection with Darren, but the question is whether romance will blossom, or if history will repeat itself? And as Sep nervously puts his best foot forward, he finds himself across the table from Yas, a confident car detailer.
