As Johnny explores his creative side, he seeks the assistance of an old friend, glass artist Bernadette, in Cheshire. Together, they embark on the task of creating unique stained-glass panels for Claire's glamping vehicle.

The panels will serve as a representation of the old and new glampsite locations, incorporating colors and imagery that reflect the spirit of each site.

Sadly, Johnny and his team face a setback as a group of youths vandalize the vehicles on the Melbourne Hall site. The mindless destruction includes smashed windows, damaged exteriors, and destroyed interiors. The team is devastated by the act of senseless violence, which not only poses financial challenges but also dampens the spirit of the glamping project. Despite this setback, Johnny and his team remain resilient and determined to overcome the obstacles. They vow to restore the vehicles and continue their mission of creating a magical glamping experience for their guests.
