David is chatting Sam up. They get on well and he tells her about his chain of car dealerships. The barmaid comes over to tell her that she may be able to get her a job here. David looks at her sceptically and she realises she's been caught out (about being a model). She says that the modelling work she was promised didn't work out and tells him a lot of other things about how horrible it is here. He asks why she doesn't go home. She says she's skint. He says that he could get her a ticket, no strings attached, he would be happy to help. She is surprised and grateful and after more chat she asks him again if he's serious. Phil and Grant go to the bar but the girl who Sam knows is on a later shift, so they wait. Eventually she turns up and tells them Sam is in Torremolinos and they must be Phil and Grant - Sam mentioned them. Grant asks about the hippie and the girl says Sam is well out of it - he's twice her age and a junkie. Grant is all for going back to "pay him a visit" but Phil says they ought to go back to find Sam. The friend says that she's staying with a friend who works in one of the bars in the back streets - The Blue Parrot. They can't believe it and Grant drives back at speed because he says that Sam's not safe there. Phil says reasonably that they were just those people and she's been here a year so must be capable of looking after herself. Nevertheless, Grant is determined to get there as quickly as possible to rescue her, as she's "different, more innocent." Phil doesn't believe it and says it's not just about Sam. He says that Grant is upset about Sharon and taking it out on everything else. Grant says that he has nothing except his family and that includes Sam. They get lost on the way back as the roads don't look quite the same in the dark. Meanwhile, Ricky has been stung by Bianca's whinging that he's boring, but eventually after both David and Steve have gone on and on to both of them individually about the other really loving them and just being too stubborn to apologise, they finally decide to get back together again. Ricky takes Bianca out for the night for a walk, and then "skinny-dipping". Ricky asks Bianca if she'd think he was boring if he asked her to marry him, she says no, and is thrilled. Sam falls for David's lines. She asks him if he's been married and he says no, he's never met anyone who was worth it! She says she was and her ex-father in law sold cars too, but of course not like him. She talks about her brothers and he may meet them one day and says he'd like them. He persuades her to go back to his place with him until her friend gets off work at 4am, although of course his driver may be there as he's in Spain on partly business and partly pleasure. David calls a cab. Grant and Phil finally arrive back there, just in time to see Sam disappear into the cab. Grant is furious and says it's all Phil's fault for getting them lost and now she's gone off. Phil tells him to calm down and they go off and get drunk as there's nothing they can do. Phil suggests going in to ask the friend of Sam's who she went with, but Grant says how would she know where Sam went. So they go back to the hotel bar and drink until closing time, having a brotherly chat and saying they love each other. The barmaid calls last orders and comes over to them - now both sitting on the floor. When David and Sam get back, David goes in to check that Ricky and Bianca are in bed, which they are, and quickly tidies up the bedroom while Sam is in the toilet. Steve picks up a girl too at The Blue Parrot and the girl is very keen on him. David and Sam have just gone into the bedroom when he gets back with the girl. He offers her wine, but drops a glass. David and Sam have finished the wine, so he gets beers out. He can't find a bottle opener and she says to forget the drink and snogs him! Sam hears the glass break and says "what's that?" A couple of minutes later, Steve and the girl come into the bedroom and switch the light on. Steve's girl whines and says she doesn't want any funny business and runs off. Sam asks what's going on. The commotion brings Ricky out of bed to ask what's all the noise. He comes in and is surprised to see Sam. David asks if they know each other. Bianca appears at Ricky's side. Sam asks who she is. Bianca asks who Sam is. Phil and Grant walk in. They all look at each other and Sam covers her face with the sheet. |
