getting no gigs, and beat up their manager, who then sends them to Miami,
amidst promises of a world class hotel filled with celebrities and agents...
they arrive at something slightly less than they expected... a pretty run
down small Hotel called Hotel Paradise... run by Howard and his brother
Marvin...

Miami 7 Episode 02 - Howard's
Hotel
Description:
The hotel is a dump and
the S Club are forced into slave labour and made to tidy up the hotel. Seems
they weren't brought over to Miami to sing, but to work instead! Once the
hotel is less like a rubbish dump, there's a music night, and Howard makes
the S Club sing Tie a Yellow Ribbon, which falls totally flat. So, Rachel
takes charge, and they go back out and sing S Club Party instead, which
everyone (except Howard) loves.

and swipe bits from Howard's car and put them in their car (since Howard
conned them). The S Club then cruise past Howard, who's car has broken down...
