In episode 7 of season 2 of Hotel Babylon, viewers are treated to a glimpse of the inner workings of the hotel's spa and health club. As always, the staff are under pressure to deliver the highest standards of service to the discerning guests, but this time they are also dealing with some unexpected challenges.
The episode opens with the arrival of one of the hotel's regular guests, a wealthy businessman named Rupert, who has come to enjoy the pampering and relaxation of the spa. However, things get off to a rocky start when he discovers that his favorite member of staff, therapist Ben, has resigned without warning.
Meanwhile, the hotel's new spa manager, Jackie, is feeling the pressure to deliver results, and is worried that the spa's ratings are not up to scratch. She is eager to introduce some new treatments and attract some high-profile clients to the spa, but is worried that her ideas might not be well received by the rest of the team.
As the day progresses, Jackie struggles to assert her authority over the other spa staff, some of whom are resistant to change and unconvinced by her plans. She clashes with best friend and fellow therapist Tania, whose laid-back attitude and lack of initiative are starting to irritate her.
In the midst of all this, a surprise visitor arrives at the spa in the form of Rupert's wife, who is determined to make a big impression on her husband and compete with his younger mistress. She demands a full day of treatments, including a manicure, pedicure, facial, and massage, leaving the spa staff struggling to keep up with her demands.
As tensions rise and tempers fray, Jackie comes up with a last-ditch plan to save the day. She invites a celebrity client to the spa, hoping to secure a glowing review that will attract more high-profile guests. However, things don't quite go according to plan, and the staff are left scrambling to deal with the fallout.
Overall, episode 7 of Hotel Babylon season 2 offers a fun and engaging look at the challenging world of spa management, with plenty of drama, humor, and heart. Viewers will enjoy getting to know the characters of the hotel's spa, and will be left keen to see what happens next as the season progresses.
