The boys are all set for a holiday abroad but their passports are deemed invalid when Ash provides selfies for the photos. They decide to simulate their own foreign holiday in a car park, putting down sand and deckchairs with car park attendant Ed posing as their holiday rep. The local homeless community bring them to the attention of sympathetic social worker Jess, who provides Ash with a holiday romance but assumes the boys are genuinely homeless. At least she persuades Ash to make up with the other band members as they return home.

When the Beast's manager Chevy finally gets them a gig on a TV show, the boys are hit by a crisis of confidence after bumping into a mouthy hardcore band who are also appearing.

The boys still are chasing that elusive record contract and Stef is miserable as Zoe has dumped him for chart-topping rapper Sexual P. He goes to a church to pray for guidance and meets a gospel choir but they only convince him he would be better off as a black man. The others meanwhile are engaged by Sylvia, owner of an ex-bingo hall, to play at her grand-daughter Hope's sixteenth birthday party. They opt for a 'Twilight' theme, with garlic-flavoured cakes and punch. Hope is not impressed until Stef appears to sing her a sexy song. Unfortunately it becomes obvious that it was intended for Zoe to win her back and the boys end up cleaning the lavatories.

Ash the self proclaimed ladies man gives her a lame strip tease to get the pizza. She is a fan of the band so reluctantly lets this go.
