She doesn't know it but just across the room, cricket superstar Brody is also being blindsided by his girlfriend, Nikki.

She's hoping the ship is big enough to avoid them but, unlucky for her, a booking mix-up means she's sharing a two-bed suite with Todd, Nikki, and the handsome but infuriating Brody too.With no choice but to ride out the awkwardness, Jessa and Brody hatch a plan. If they can't win their exes back, they'll get them back - revenge - by faking a red-hot romance of their own. That'll show them.
