1Hello DollyWith the boiler broken and the hotel freezing, the staff ring Mr. Trubble to send somebody to sort things out. Enter Dolly, who says she is his girl-friend and,although she is the new manager,both Sally and Jamie think they are - whilst Mrs. Poshington mistakes the plumber for a doctor and thinks she has only days to live. At least she bequeaths all her money to the hotel,which takes care of the cost of repairs, but then she finds she is not terminally ill after all so,with the cash gone, she stays on at the hotel - as the cleaner.
2An Inspector CallsLast time she came to Hotel Trubble grim hotel inspector Miss Beasley found five hundred and twenty-six things wrong with it and almost closed it down. Now, with a lion in Room 426 and Lenny about to turn into something peculiar, thanks to the family curse which strikes him once a year, it is not the best of days for her return visit. However, just as things are looking really bleak, Lenny's transformation - into dashing Don Juan - brings out the beast in her and saves the day - and the hotel.

Fortunately Mrs. Poshington has insisted they wear masks for safety reasons,which gives Jamie an idea...

But when the truth dawns on him,he challenges Z-Dogg to a duel.The duel turns out to involve rapping,at which Jamie is hopeless, but once again Mrs. Poshington proves that there is no end to her talents.
6Fangs For The MemoriesJamie tells Lenny not to be so stupid for believing that new guest Dave Racula is a two-hundred and thirty-seven year old vampire but Dave is just that though the staff,feeling sorry for him,are sworn to secrecy. Until they learn that he is taking Mrs. Poshington for dinner and they fear for her safety. Fortunately,she orders her favourite starter - garlic bread - which has an adverse effect on him - but they agree to remain just good friends.
7When Hally Met SallySally's bossy school rival Hally comes to Hotel Trubble,supposedly to review it for 'Swish' magazine.

In fact Lenny becomes so famous he gives in his notice and it's down to Sally,envious of his new-found celebrity,to inadvertently bring him back to Hotel Trubble.
10Trubble BillionaireHotel Trubble experiences a mould problem,which will be costly to eliminate and it looks as if grumpy billionaire Wesley Sowergrapes may buy the building and demolish it to make way for a wind farm.

Fortunately she recognises the proffered engagement ring as the famous Poshington Diamond,stolen years earlier,and has him arrested, whilst the generous tips he gave Sally will pay for the treatment of the mould.
