Ep 5. Episode 5

Two strangers meet again in the hopes of reigniting their first date spark, while a romantic history brings together a couple from opposite ends of the country.

In this episode of First Dates Hotel, we see familiar faces as Jude and Peta reunite for the first time since their initial date two months ago. The pair hit it off during their previous encounter, with both expressing an interest in seeing each other again. However, life got in the way, and they never managed to arrange a follow-up date. They now have a second chance to see if there is a future for them.

It's clear from the start that the two are still interested in each other, with both expressing excitement at getting to know each other on a deeper level. However, the pressure is on as they know that they have high expectations to meet after their successful first date. They indulge in delicious meals and drinks while engaging in conversations about their interests and backgrounds.

Meanwhile, 52-year-old Olivia from the Scottish Highlands meets the charming 58-year-old Stephen from Cornwall. The two have bonded over their shared love of dogs and decide to take their furry friends for a walk in the beautiful Italian countryside. As the day progresses, they share stories about their lives and experiences, and it becomes clear that they have more in common than just their love of animals. They both value family and enjoy a simple life, making them a great match.

But, as with any romance, things are not all smooth sailing. Olivia opens up about her past relationships, revealing that she has been hurt before and finds it challenging to trust men. Stephen, however, assures her that he is not like her past partners and shows her that he is worthy of her trust. Their connection grows stronger as the evening approaches, and they both reveal that they are developing feelings for each other.

Back with Jude and Peta, the pressure is mounting as they approach the end of their date. Both seem to be enjoying each other's company and want to see each other again. But will they take the leap and commit to a future together, or will the distance and their busy lives make it too difficult? As they say their goodbyes, it is clear that the pair has felt a connection that not many people get to experience.

In this episode of First Dates Hotel, we see how second chances can lead to love and that sometimes, even the smallest things like a shared love for pets can bring two people together. We follow these couples as they navigate the tricky terrain of dating, hoping to find that special connection that we all crave. Will love be in the air, or will it be a case of back to the drawing board? Tune in to find out.
