- The last night of the holiday finds both couples packing, but David and Linda decide to slip away and meet one last time, away from the hotel. They go to Pedro's Bar, where Linda gets pestered by a drunk and Amy turns up unexpectedly, closely followed by Robert. The Cochrans leave, but Amy is still suspicious and David must improvise as to why he is there. More improvisation is necessary when Amy leaves him with no money to pay the bill, which might account for his black eye on the plane home.
- After Amy learns that they had a moonlight swim together, Linda and David must find new ways to meet, so Linda devises a system involving towels on her balcony to telegraph to David when it is safe to come up to her room. Robert now knows that his wife has a lover but suspects an innocent Frenchman. Amy, on the other hand, knows precisely what is going on and switches the towels to land David in trouble with a German couple.
- David goes to the casino where, meeting the Cochrans, he hopes Linda will bring him luck as he puts his winning system into play. In fact, novice Amy saves the day for him, raking in the chips, but he is boastful and ungenerous, declaring that he has a winning streak. The same thing happens on the next visit to the casino, but this time Amy is determined to get her fair share of the winnings.
- The crew of television holiday programme 'Wish You Were Here' is at the hotel with its presenter Judith Chalmers, who asks David and Amy to say a few words into the microphone about the resort, but David insists on Linda being included, as well as speaking in an affected accent, which provokes Amy into deliberately ruining their 15 minutes of fame. The Cochrans are invited to replace them, but Robert's rant against the Germans makes for equally unsuitable viewing.
- A mix-up lands David with a tartan hold-all identical to his own--except that it contains bundles of bank notes. He gives it to Linda to hide, and when Robert finds it, he assumes that David and Linda are planning to try to elope again. Meanwhile, two sinister men arrive at the Pearces' room: they want their bag back and they aren't above throwing David off the balcony if he doesn't disclose its whereabouts. Fortunately, Amy has done the right thing and handed the bag in to the police, but David has kept some notes back for himself. Suddenly it's raining money.
- A young English couple arrive at the hotel and Amy and Linda assume that they are newlyweds because they are so evidently in love. In fact they have been together for some years but play the newlywed game to keep their marriage fresh. When they see Linda and David snatching an amorous moment together, they assume that they are another husband and wife playing the newlywed game and innocently spill the beans to Amy.
- David is caught out when Amy tells him that Tommy Wright has been dead for three years, and he and Linda adopt disguises to avoid each other's spouses as well as planning--unsuccessfully--to move to another hotel after pretending to find fault with the San Remo. Amy and Robert finally meet, but when Amy learns that Robert's presence is as unexpected as her own, she subjects David to her own brand of Deja Vu.
- Linda is delighted when her heartthrob, soap actor Frazer Hines, books into the hotel--but he only has eyes for Amy. She is initially unimpressed, but following some withering remarks from David, she goes on a date with him. Ultimately both she and Linda end up hiding from their husbands in Frazer's room, and each is discovered by the other's spouse.
- Amy and Robert do not share their spouses' enthusiasm for a trip to see the famous matador El Macho in action. After the fight, David's pretentious efforts to impress Linda by claiming he is a bullfighting expert are punctured by the arrival of El Macho, and David is further humiliated by his failure to support Amy's spirited attack on blood sports. The humiliation continues back at the hotel when he rushes to the aid of Linda, who reports a prowler on her balcony, prompting a definite response from Amy.
- Their affair now out in the open, David and Linda plan to run off together. Robert wants to fight David, but Amy uses subtler means: filling her husband's suitcase with hotel property to get him arrested, then persuading Linda that she had a lucky escape as he is a notorious kleptomaniac known as The Weasel. While Linda happily returns to Robert, Amy--though she has squared things with the police, fails to tell David, subjecting him to further humiliation as he tries to flee the hotel in drag.
- As Amy sent all his clothes to the cleaners', David looks doomed to spend the rest of his holiday in drag. He gets no sympathy from his wife or the Cochrans, but he does get chatted up by the waiter, who lends him a uniform--and he ends up serving drinks to Amy and Linda, who both reject him. However, after wrongly assuming that he tried to drown himself, everybody feels ashamed and are only too happy to see him again.
- Returning from a boat trip to Tangiers, Amy is approached by a shifty-looking Spaniard who asks her to deliver a box allegedly containing the ashes of his dead friend Pepe to his widowed mother. Guessing correctly that Amy is being used to smuggle drugs, David empties the box over their balcony--which leads to Robert and Linda getting stoned off their heads.
- David is less than happy to find that the obnoxious Kev Wilson, a man who has always done better than him and let him know it since childhood, is staying at the hotel and, as ever, worming his way into people's affections. Furthermore, he keeps taking photographs--including one of David kissing Linda, which he gives to Amy. Amy might not like Linda, but she positively detests Kev, and she turns the tables on him by playing on Robert's jealousy.
- The couples join a coach trip to the mountains, where David buys Linda a gypsy shawl she has admired, but when Amy finds she has lost her money, he sells his watch. Noticing the shawl on Linda and the watch not on David, arouses Amy's suspicions, causing David to claim that the shawl was actually for his wife. When Robert buys Linda another shawl and David feels the need to buy one also as compensation for Linda, David passes off the surplus shawl as a gift for Amy's mother, but Amy isn't convinced and takes artistic revenge on David that leads to trouble in a German inn.
- Neither Amy nor Robert can stand the gormless, accident-prone Neville, so David and Linda decide to use him as a go-between and to keep their spouses at bay while Linda pretends she is teaching him to swim. As inept as a messenger as he is at everything else, Neville innocently leads Amy to the lovers' rendezvous, where she gets a shock and he gets a pleasant surprise that makes it his best holiday ever.
- David and Amy Pearce arrive in Spain for their 'second honeymoon',using David's redundancy pay. Things start badly for David when his suitcase breaks and he finds Amy has forgotten to pack any of his shoes but there is compensation when he meets Linda Cochran,on vacation with dull husband Robert,who complains about everything and hates foreign holidays. Amy,however,is displeased with David's attempts to impress Linda and takes steps to,literally, dampen his enthusiasm.
- When David buys a raffle ticket in aid of Conservative funds, Labour supporter Amy is shocked and accuses him of selling out the socialist principles he embraced when they first met. However, after Amy's attempts to support the overworked, underpaid waiters results in Carlos getting sacked, it is not Amy's campaign, surprisingly supported by Linda, to get him reinstated that does the trick but David's stirring appeal to the other guests.
- The hotel throws a party where the guests must arrive in costumes and perform on stage. The Germans heckle Robert's monologue; and Amy, dressed as a clown, turns David and Linda's romantic duet into a total farce--though the audience assumes it was meant to be funny. However, it's Amy's return to the stage in a totally different outfit that steals the show and seems to get David hankering after her.
- David persuades a reluctant Amy to spend Christmas in Spain, though in a more up-market hotel than the San Remo. When Amy sees the Cochrans, who are the guests of the wealthy Stoneleigh-Jacksons, she regards the trip as more than a coincidence but busies herself getting into the Christmas spirit by putting up decorations, forcing David to play Santa Claus and exchanging the expensive presents he has bought for Linda with cheap rubbish. Unsurprisingly David and Linda attempt to sneak off upstairs for some forbidden moments but, more surprisingly, they are not the couple seen finally kissing under the mistletoe.
- Several months have passed. Amy is working, but David is still unemployed and lies to her that his doctor has told him he will have a nervous breakdown unless he takes a holiday. He claims to be off to Spain with his old mate Tommy Wright--but once there, he actually meets up with Linda for a romantic reunion. However, before they can sip champagne in her room as planned, both their spouses turn up.
- David refuses to go with Amy to visit the ruins, saying he already booked a court to play tennis with Linda. Robert still does not suspect, though he looks down on David anyway, seeing him as a social-security scrounger holidaying at taxpayers' expense. With Amy off to the ruins and Robert on the golf course, the loved-up couple move from the tennis court to the bedroom to indulge in a little afternoon delight. But Amy walks in while they're kissing and takes her revenge with hot tea and sticky cakes.
- Amy is scornful of Linda's yoga exercises and David's attempts to impress her by keeping fit,which land him in bed with a bad back. Anxious to prove to Linda that he is unharmed and healthy,he again incurs the wrath of Amy,who throws half of his only pair of shoes over the balcony to prevent him from meeting Linda,whom Amy likens to the praying mantis on the bedroom wall.
