There's huge excitement at the Motorway Hotel as Elton John is expected to drop in off the yellow brick M6 – well, Elton John tribute act Paul - but before the crocodile rocks, new joint wedding coordinator Chloe needs to navigate her first wedding, a massive downpour and some confusion with the bride and groom's names.
The hotel is also expecting a star of the internet to visit: lorry spotter extraordinaire Dave, who's managed to combine a night away for his wife Mandy's birthday at the Moat House with a cheeky filming session at a nearby junction of the M6! Will she tolerate his traffic habit on her big day?
There's also a delivery van stuck on the smart motorway section of the M6 with a huge, shredded tyre blowout, waiting for recovery driver Greg with very little room to manoeuvre.
As the wedding season hots up and with local staff hard to recruit after Covid, mum Jo has spotted a way to get her 17-year-old son Hayden out from under her feet and into gainful employment. Over a meal in the hotel restaurant she engineers him a trial shift helping out with an event. But can he cut the mustard under the exacting gaze of Operations Manager Ness?
