Vicky and Sophie return to the house and announce that they both have boyfriends so won't be getting involved with anyone in the house, then new cast member Ricci arrives and immediately flirts with Vicky. As everyone else returns, Charlotte promises never to go anywhere near Gaz again and the celebrations begin, however they don't last long as the other new cast member Rebecca makes her entrance and quickly clashes with Vicky. Rebecca doesn't back down during her argument with Vicky and the boys like her feisty side. She then suggests everyone calms down and goes into the hot tub. Charlotte and Gaz are left alone in the hot tub together and end up having sex, but the next morning Charlotte quickly regrets it. Holly tries her luck with James after revealing she would happily have sex with him, and Jay and Rebecca get close. Anna returns and reveals that everyone's new job is spray tanning. That night, Gaz brings back a girl causing Charlotte to get emotional and seek comfort in James. Rebecca ends up kissing Jay in the back of a taxi, then returns to the house to apologise to Vicky for their arguments. Vicky begins to feel guilty when she gets into bed with Ricci and cuddles him. For the first spray tanning job, Charlotte tries to drown her sorrows and gets too drunk, falling over on the tanning tent. That night, Charlotte tries to drown her sorrows again and Vicky's there to take her home. Ricci asks for Jay's approval for getting stuck into Vicky but he tells him to be careful. Getting home, Ricci's angry that Vicky had to go home early to sort Charlotte out so stands up to her. This then leads to arguments between them but they end up in bed together cuddling.

Sophie wakes up in bed with her friend Riley, but then her dad arrives and she's left trying to get Riley out without her dad knowing.
