For reasons best know to Flynn, they’ve blagged themselves jobs at Beaver Falls, an elite American summer camp for the ridiculously beautiful teenage offspring of California’s rich and powerful.

Could this call for a change of tactics? And just as things are finally working out for Rachael and A-Rab, a surprise visitor throws everyone into turmoil: Saima (Anjli Mohindra). The Ex. The girl who broke A-Rab’s heart has returned to get him back, but not if Barry and the Chunk Bunk have anything to do with it. Which only leaves Flynn to comfort a distraught Rachael…
