Synopsis: The three are getting ready to go on vacation. Sophia is going to be staying home. Rose is freaking out. Blanche comes out with enough luggage for a month. The three leave and Sophia immediately goes into action. She gets the gardener, Mr. Matsumo’s, attention. She asks him out on a date. The girls arrive and their room is a dump. They don’t have a view either, unless you stick your head way out the window and look really far to the left. They all complain. The manager finally arrives. He does not resolve their concerns. Blanche tries to cheer them up with the vibrating bed but it doesn’t work. The guy that brought up their bags comes in and he shakes the bed. Sophia and Toshiro (Mr. Matsumo) are having a date. Sophia is not a big fan of sushi. She throws a chopstick and then dumps her meal in her purse. At the hotel, they’re being attacked by bugs. Rose tells them what she’s planned for the next day. Dorothy squashes a bug on her face, but when she goes to the bathroom to wash it off someone else is in the bathroom. The ladies freak out. They are sharing the bathroom with another room.

Meanwhile, at home the second date for Sophia is Italian food that she made. They are about to kiss and the phone rings. Sophia gets rid of her in record time. They recapture the moment.
