1. Peri takes Juliet to the seaside
Juliet takes a PET scan to see if her latest treatment is working. Expressing her interest in James and Ste's wedding, she opens up to Peri about her difficult childhood and always wanting to go to the seaside.
Inspired by her girlfriend's words, Peri decides to surprise Juliet by taking her to Brighton whilst they wait for the results.
However, Peri soon finds out she's unable to pay for the trip and asks James to lend her a hand. Reluctant to fund the trip as he's worried over his sister's health, the lawyer caves and foots the bill when Ste persuades him to help.
Thanks to James, Peri manages to give Juliet the seaside trip she's always dreamt of. The couple stay in a deluxe suite and share a special moment on Brighton Beach.
After a night of partying, Peri realises all of their belongings are missing. She and Juliet need a miracle to make it back to Chester in time for the doctor's appointment — and that's when Drag Race winner Danny Beard comes into play.
2. A ride from a Drag Race star
Juliet, Peri and their new pal Danny Beard wake up in Brighton with a terrible hangover.
Danny agrees to give the couple a ride back to the village in their drag wagon, determined to distract Juliet from her test results.
During a pitstop, Danny livestreams to their followers — but an offensive comment causes Juliet to break down. The drag queen dishes some words of wisdom and gives Juliet a makeover to remember.
3. Brooke finds a job
Determined to find a new job, Brooke is weighing up their options. After trying the hospital and local businessman Tom Cunningham (Ellis Hollins) to no avail, they're at a loss.
Luckily, Lizzie Chen-Williams (Lily Best) saves the day, asking Brooke to work a few shifts at the Love Boat — but they're worried about the bar's fast-paced environment.
When Damon Kinsella (Jacob Roberts) offers them a job later on, Brooke worries they may not be able to handle it, but Jack Osborne (James McKenna) offers some words of wisdom.

As Nancy (Jessica Fox) is adjusting to her new headteacher role and being especially strict, Charlie thinks he and his friends should fight back, deciding to set off the fire alarm.
Nancy won't let this one slide and announces detention for all students until the culprit comes forward. Charlie confesses, but what kind of punishment will he be given? And how can Darren (Ashley Taylor Dawson) mediate between him and Nancy?
In other scenes, a desperate, low-on-cash Charlie steals his dealer's stash and gets into a hurtful confrontation with Nancy, who exclaims his behaviour is proof he is no son of hers.
6. Norma has a plan
Norma Crow (Glynis Barber) breaks into Sienna's apartment and goes through her things. What is she looking for?
