Grand Hotel: 5 intense moments from Season 1, Episode 8

2. Helen accidentally eats edibles.

In a bid to cheer up his father and ease his chemo-induced nausea, Jason decides to buy some edibles. The weed cookies are placed in the fridge for his father to enjoy. Except, before he gets the chance to, Helen indulges in them herself, completely unaware of what’s in store. In an episode with many somber moments, Helen getting high and annoying the social media influencer staying at the hotel is hilarious.

Although things take a sketchy turn when Gigi realizes how loose-lipped Helen is while under the influence. She takes advantage of her high to ask her a few prying questions about the secrets Santiago has been keeping from her. Now that she’s aware of Mateo’s real purpose at the hotel, how will she handle it moving forward?

1. Danny and Alicia finally hook up.

The moment #Dalicia fans have been waiting for has arrived. After lollygagging and leading each other, Danny and Alicia finally succumb to their desires and hook up. It’s a pretty steamy hook up too if I do so say so myself. But also, what girl wears matching lingerie all the time on the odds she’s going to hook up!? Anyway, Danny tries to be attentive to Alicia’s every need while she’s coping with Javi’s accident.

He does have an ulterior motive, though. He aims to get his hands on Javi’s drug stash so he can start finding a link back to his sister. Danny learns from Topher, the concierge who can procure just about anything, that Javi has a temper and may have been threatening Sky before she vanished.

He hasn’t fully explored that avenue yet, but I think we can expect it to come back up again in the weeks to come. For now, Danny and Alicia are enjoying basking in each other’s naked company after weeks of pining.
