By the time series four rolls around, Jack has been fired and his replacement Juliet is trying to save the hotel from financial ruin. Her wealthy ex-husband Sam decides to buy the hotel and the series follows their fraught working relationship. The series ended on a [[Cliff Hanger]], with Sam considering whether to rekindle his relationship with Juliet or begin a new one with Emily.
