It's Christmas, and Dorien has decided to treat the sisters to a winter getaway in the Canary Islands. Whilst seeking some "Dr Dose" at the airport, Tracey comes across a man named Morgan, who is buying some condoms, as well as some old friends of Sharon, Pamela and Sonia.
Meanwhile, Travis and Garth are left alone, Marcie and Poppie having abandoned him and headed back to Australia. Garth laments the end of the relationship. When Travis hints that he hasn't did something, Garth tries to fix this.
On the plane, Dorien finds that Sharon's friends have gotten on the plane, along with the man that Tracey has encountered, who proves to be an obnoxious fellow. Unfortunately, the flight is delayed thanks to a leftover sandstorm. Making matters worse, Dorien gets paired up with a guy who's not that interested in her work and who locks her in the bathroom.
Eventually, everyone is cleared for takeoff and Tracey puts herself to sleep. However, the makeup gift that Tracey got for Sharon leaks and the man thinks that it's a bomb, leading to hysteria and the cancellation of the flight. On the bright side, the man is banned from Air Today flights. Everyone returns home to a Travis and Garth, who's hosting a boring party. Luckily, Sharon's friends are able to liven it up.
