S2.E1 ∙ Manana

Wed, Sep 05, 1984

As Amy sent all his clothes to the cleaners', David looks doomed to spend the rest of his holiday in drag. He gets no sympathy from his wife or the Cochrans, but he does get chatted up by the waiter, who lends him a uniform--and he ends up serving drinks to Amy and Linda, who both reject him. However, after wrongly assuming that he tried to drown himself, everybody feels ashamed and are only too happy to see him again.

Wed, Sep 12, 1984

David goes to the casino where, meeting the Cochrans, he hopes Linda will bring him luck as he puts his winning system into play. In fact, novice Amy saves the day for him, raking in the chips, but he is boastful and ungenerous, declaring that he has a winning streak. The same thing happens on the next visit to the casino, but this time Amy is determined to get her fair share of the winnings.

Wed, Oct 03, 1984

Returning from a boat trip to Tangiers, Amy is approached by a shifty-looking Spaniard who asks her to deliver a box allegedly containing the ashes of his dead friend Pepe to his widowed mother.

Wed, Oct 10, 1984

David is less than happy to find that the obnoxious Kev Wilson, a man who has always done better than him and let him know it since childhood, is staying at the hotel and, as ever, worming his way into people's affections. Furthermore, he keeps taking photographs--including one of David kissing Linda, which he gives to Amy. Amy might not like Linda, but she positively detests Kev, and she turns the tables on him by playing on Robert's jealousy.

S2.E7 ∙ Adios

Wed, Oct 17, 1984

The last night of the holiday finds both couples packing, but David and Linda decide to slip away and meet one last time, away from the hotel. They go to Pedro's Bar, where Linda gets pestered by a drunk and Amy turns up unexpectedly, closely followed by Robert. The Cochrans leave, but Amy is still suspicious and David must improvise as to why he is there. More improvisation is necessary when Amy leaves him with no money to pay the bill, which might account for his black eye on the plane home.
