Down in the basements of the hotel, Jackie is thrown off balance when a raid by Immigration Officers brings her own dodgy status into the light. What can she give them to avoid being deported?
Further details
Back together with her husband, Rebecca's uncharacteristic good mood does everything to unsettle the staff - especially Charlie.
Below stairs, we witness a world the guests never normally get to see - the immigrant labour that really makes the place work.
A raid on the hotel by Immigration officers forces Jackie into a dilemma when she's reminded by the officials about her own immigration status.
Meanwhile, Charlie is asked by a guest to help cover up an affair she's been conducting at the hotel. Rebecca takes a hard line with Charlie, refusing to let him intervene, and disarms him by implying that she knows something about his fraudulent past.
A showdown is inevitable once Rebecca realises he's gone against her word. In a fight to save his job, Charlie manages to turn the tables on Rebecca.
