However, things take a turn for the worse when they see their room. The room is small, dirty, and has no air conditioning. The girls complain to the hotel management, but they are told that there are no other rooms available.

Meanwhile, back in England, Miranda's mother, Penny, is worried sick about her daughter. She calls Miranda's ex-boyfriend, Gary, to ask if he has heard from her. Gary tells her that he hasn't and is surprised that Miranda would go on a holiday on her own.

As Miranda tries to enjoy her vacation, she faces one setback after another. The food is inedible, and the hotel's entertainment is terrible. To make matters worse, Miranda and Stevie get lost trying to find the hotel's beach and end up stumbling upon the staff's quarters. Miranda decides to make the best of the situation and starts dancing with the staff. The hotel manager sees them and chastises them for being in an area where guests are not allowed. Miranda gets upset and storms off.

Later that night, Miranda and Stevie head to the hotel bar to drown their sorrows. They run into a group of British tourists who invite them to join them. Miranda is reluctant at first, but Stevie convinces her to go. The group includes two women who are obsessed with their looks and a man who is trying to avoid his wife. Miranda's awkwardness gets the better of her, and she embarrasses herself in front of the group.

The next day, Miranda and Stevie decide to leave the resort and explore Thailand. They end up at a local market, where Miranda buys a fake designer bag and sunglasses. She is proud to have scored a bargain until Stevie informs her that they are both obvious fakes.

As the episode draws to a close, Miranda and Stevie decide to return to the resort. Miranda is determined to make the most of her vacation and decides to start a new activity each day.
