Mick is horrified that his nice-but-dim brother Pete is due in Benidorm with crusty dad Stan for a stag party. To everyone's surprise, Pete is about to get married. Mick cannot conceal his impatience with hopeless Pete, and the family reunion gets off to a bad start.

Imagining - mistakenly - that Troy has broken up with him, Gavin agrees to a date with pretty Emilio. But when Kenneth discovers that Gavin has misunderstood a text from Troy - he is nearly too late to save him from an unfortunate holiday romance.

Meanwhile, Trudy hatches a plan to get intimate with Mateo, by pretending to drown in the pool while he's on duty as a life-guard. Her hopes of some extended mouth-to-mouth resuscitation are ruined by the arrival of Les - dressed as Pamela Anderson - whose forceful attentions aren't quite what she had in mind.

Donald suggests fancy dress for the stag party, and both he and Kenneth opt for the Rita Heyworth look. Michael and Liam get rather the worse for wear, and everyone is shocked when Donald takes them to see Jacqueline perform her erotic strip-tease at a local club. Can Stan bring about a reconciliation between Mick and his brother? And why might this be Stan's last holiday?
