Synopsis
The stag and hen dos in Mallorca take several twists and turns, but the day ends in tragedy when Luke stands too close to a cliff edge. Meanwhile, Nancy goes into labour in a locked classroom and Felix is the only one who can help her!Plot
Ollie videos everyone as they explore the view from their hotel in Mallorca. Zara is annoyed when Tony continues to talk about the elections, so Darren sprays him with a hose. Nancy begins to have stomach pains whilst at home. Cindy reluctantly lets Luke leave her side for his stag go. Zara takes offence to Darren's "Luke's Farewell Tour 2022" shirts, but Darren tells her that Luke designed them. Tony brags about being in the lead in the election polls so Zara steals his phone. Tom worries when Yazz says "what happens in Mallorca, stays in Mallorca" before the hens leave. DeMarcus confronts Charlie and Nancy stops them from fighting.
Darren and Tony wind up Tom, so he quickly flees. Luke is furious when he learns that he has been scammed on a boat he has paid for the stags. The group meet businessman Alex Ramsden, who offers to show them around the island instead. Tom panics when he finds Yazz's masseur. He decides to pay Jose off to give her a massage himself, but she is furious. She suggests "getting even", when Zara interrupts and informs Tom that Cindy has disappeared. Luke goes to get the volleyball, but is confronted by a gang - one of whom pulls a gun on him. The gang rob the group: taking Cindy's wedding ring and Ollie's video camera. Luke tries to put up a fight but they knock him to the floor.
Felix has been called into the school. Charlie panics when Felix mentions Joseph. Tom finds Cindy and asks for advice on Yazz, but Cindy is left horrified to find Luke nude. After learning of the robbery, Cindy decides to return to England, but Zara and Tony change her mind. Diane is left furious by Tony's latest social media post. Cindy tells Tom that Yazz only wants him to be upset so he could feel the same as she did over his kiss with Cher. Luke is suspicions when he sees that Alex hasn't had any of his belongings stolen. Charlie locks Nancy and Felix in the classroom as he and DeMarcus are asked to leave them to talk. Nancy's waters end up breaking. Luke and Ollie spot Alex with one of the kids who burgled them. They follow him into a storage unit and Alex confronts them with a gun.
Neither Felix nor Nancy have their mobiles on them. Charlie tries to put things right with DeMarcus. Felix is horrified when Nancy tells him that he will be delivering the baby. He tells Nancy that he was DJ'ing at a club during Celeste, Toby and Mitchell's births, and in prison during DeMarcus's birth. Alex takes Ollie hostage and demands that Luke collects a shipment for him. Cindy and Yazz are stunned to learn that Jose is actually gay. Jose gives Tom his card before leaving. Yazz tells Tom that she isn't upset over the con, but more that he didn't consult her first. Nancy worries when she remembers that she miscarried twice and Oscar was born via emergency caesarean. She tells Felix about how she thinks about her miscarried babies and Felix becomes determined to deliver her baby. Darren and Tony decide to help Luke obtain Alex's shipment. Diane calls Tony so Zara puts on a Spanish accent and pretends to be a woman named "Madonna". However, she realises that someone is trying to ruin Tony's campaign and calls Tony back, exposing Zara.
Luke confronts Alex and throws the passports at him. Ollie grabs the gun and realises that it's fake. Luke and Ollie grab their belongings and leave. DeMarcus returns to the classroom to find Nancy on the floor in labour. Luke tells Cindy about how he would remember Cindy if she died, and that he would want to be remembered in a positive light too. Luke, Cindy, Zara, Tony, Darren, Ollie, Tom and Yazz meet at the top of a cliff, which has been set up for their gathering. Tony informs Zara that the picture of him she posted has sent his popularity through the roof. Nancy has given birth to a baby girl. Luke tries to find Cindy's wedding ring, which has fallen from his pocket. He finds it near the cliff edge but ends up falling, plummeting into the ocean below.Cast
