Ep 3. Episode 3

In the third episode of Benidorm season 9, viewers are treated to an hour of hilarious shenanigans as the Solana hotel staff and guests navigate their latest round of madcap adventures.

First up, we find out what happens when Sam and Monty decide to start a junior lifeguard program for the resort's youngsters. While their heart may be in the right place, the two hapless helpers quickly discover that running a beach safety program is harder than it looks, especially when their charges prove to be more interested in chasing seagulls than learning about rip tides.

Meanwhile, Kenneth and Liam have a new scam up their sleeves, as they try to make some quick cash by betting on who can stay awake the longest. Their nocturnal antics soon spiral out of control, however, as they find themselves getting caught up in a series of increasingly bizarre challenges and bets, even as they start to feel the effects of sleep deprivation setting in.

Over in the salon, Joyce is struggling to get her business back on track after a run of bad luck, and enlists the help of her friend Monty to stage a special event to drum up some new customers. But when the plan goes awry and threatens to damage her reputation, Joyce must decide whether to cut her losses or fight to keep her business afloat.

At the same time, Jacqueline and Liam are keen to spend some quality time together, but struggle to find a quiet moment in their busy day. Their attempts to sneak away from the group are constantly thwarted by unexpected interruptions and mishaps, leaving them both frustrated and longing for a chance to just be together.

Finally, Cyril and Janice are back to their old tricks as they plot revenge against the hotel manager, Joyce. With Cyril determined to have the last laugh, Janice must navigate his increasingly outrageous plans while keeping their true intentions hidden from the rest of the guests.
