Hotel Babylon

Anna convinces an unexpected guest she is the hotel manager and gatecrashes a posh masked ball. Ben has an unpleasant encounter with a pop star and Jackie rumbles a ring of stripping chambermaids.

Caz Simpson (Kelly Brook) - a former chambermaid at The Lanesborough and friend and colleague of Anna's - checks in... as the new Lady Stanwood. Caz and husband Lord Stanwood are hosting a charity masked ball. A jealous Anna lies in order not to be outdone - calling herself the "manager in waiting" - and manages to get herself into the ball by "borrowing" a costume. Anna quickly discovers the upper class isn't all it's cracked up to be when Lord Stanwood (Andy Henderson) tries to get fruity with her in a store cupboard. When Anna tries to tell Caz the two get involved in a showdown - much to the mortification of Lord Stanwood who subsequently renounces Caz as his wife. The night isn't totally ruined for Caz - not only does she find out who the man is who broke Anna's heart (Charlie) she also realises she will be due a huge divorce settlement.

Ben looks anxious when it's announced rap artist Switchback (Samuell Bento) is staying prior to a gig. Switchback is famous for having his latest song banned due to its homophobic lyrics. Ben tries to keep a low profile but Switchback recognises him and arranges a party. Not wanting his old friend to learn of his sexuality, Ben reverts back to adopting street talk - much to the amazement of his colleagues. When a girl is pushed his way at the party it looks like he's going to sleep with her. However, the prostitute convinces Ben to own up to who he is. When Switchback riles him, Ben lashes out at him, admitting his sexuality. A reconciliation is dashed when Ben brings up a snog they shared when they were younger. Repelled, Switchback denies it and denounces Ben from his life.
