Hotel Babylon is struggling and new general manager Juliet Miller - dubbed 'The Undertaker' by the gang - has been drafted in to close it down.

The deal falls through when Tony refuses to meet his demands. But he's soon got bigger problems when a terror threat brings London to a standstill and stranded airline passengers bound for the airport seek refuge in the hotel.
Among the crowd is millionaire Sam Franklin, who's so impressed with the staff that he decides to buy Babylon.
The gang are delighted with their new owner - all except for Sam's ex-wife Juliet. They haven't seen each other in five years and old tensions soon re-surface. Can Sam and Juliet put aside their differences for the good of the hotel?
