4:00pm rolls around and it’s time for soundcheck, Nathan is unable to sing and the other 4 have to cover all his vocals. Nathan is forced to watch from the audience area as he tells the camera that he’s disappointed and feels disconnected from the band because he’s not able to do what he does is in the band. He says he just feels “inadequate.”
The boys throw Nathan a surprise birthday party to try to cheer him up a bit and it did help him feel better.
Following the little party, everyone puts on the wetsuits and goes swimming with dolphins.
That night, it’s time for The Wanted’s show at Atlantis. The boys are seen giving a performance of “Glad You Came” and Nathan joins the band on stage so the fans wouldn’t be disappointed and mimes his parts. But he still feels he disappointed the fans with that and says that he feels there’s lots of pressure on him to overcome this and get better as soon as possible.
After the show, Siva and Nareesha get some rare alone time at a restaurant. The talk about Nareesha's career and about a big meeting she has coming up in the UK and then the topic changes to Siva and how he feels about “Walks Like Rihanna” and reveals that it’s “annoying” that he doesn’t have a lot of vocals on the track and didn’t feel he was an equal part of the song and worries it might happen again in the future.
The next day, Max is sitting in a room with Kevin when he gets the phone call from the screenwriter and he offers Max the role in the part he auditioned for.
Then Nathan is with Kevin and Nano, who decides that it’s time to give Dr. Shawn Nasseri a call again because Nathan is feeling worse today. The doc tells Nathan that they’ve tried everything and at this point it’s time to “come back from the Bahamas and have surgery.” He wasn’t prepared for that news and it even catches Nano and Kevin off guard as well. The doctor tells him that if he doesn’t do it now, he may have to end his career. Nano goes start working on flights immediately and Kevin goes to get the boys so they can tell them the news.
When Kevin breaks the news to them, Jay tells the camera “it sorta hits you like a jackhammer. The fact that he has to have it so urgently it makes your heart drop into the pit of your stomach.” The operation requires months of rest.
