The story focuses on the people working at the luxurious vacation resort 'Eden' somewhere in Mexico. In an earlier episode, a young relative to the woman who owns 'Eden' came to work there as a workout instructor. She is played by Darcy DeMoss.
One day when DeMoss is in the gym, she spots a woman who she instantly recognizes. It's the very rich owner (Elisa Pensler-Gabrielli) of a famous cosmetics company. Pensler-Gabrielli notices DeMoss too and they look at each other from a distance for a while. DeMoss' character is a fortune seeker and she of course notices the way Pensler-Gabrielli looked at her..that she's clearly interested in her. Soon after when Pensler-Gabrielli walks into the Sauna, she sees DeMoss lying naked there. After having talked for a while, DeMoss decides to make her first move. She sits up, wets a sponge and squeezes out the water from it onto her naked body while Pensler-Gabrielli is watching everything with obvious excitement.
When DeMoss says it's time for her to go back to work and is about to leave the Sauna, Pensler-Gabrielli finally asks her the thing she's been waiting for. She asks her if she would like to have dinner with her and her male assistant/lover. With a pleased look on her face, DeMoss turns around and accepts the invitation.

When DeMoss shows up at Pensler-Gabrielli's suite, it turns out that it's just the two of them who are going to have dinner. The guy is nowhere to be seen. Pensler-Gabrielli tells her that he has become sick. A while into the dinner, when Pensler-Gabrielli has flirted with DeMoss quite a lot, DeMoss says: "He's not sick, is he?" Pensler-Gabrielli admits: "No, I sent him away for the evening.."
DeMoss looks at Pensler-Gabrielli's watch so much that Pensler-Gabrielli asks her if she has a date or something. "No", says DeMoss. She has no date and at the same the she also happens to mention the fact that she has lost her own watch a while ago.
After the dinner, when they're still sitting at the table, Pensler-Gabrielli takes DeMoss' hands. DeMoss, playing hard to get, tells her that she must leave. Pensler-Gabrielli follows her down the stairs leading to the main hotel building. She stops DeMoss who thanks her for the dinner. They kiss each other on the cheeks but Pensler-Gabrielli doesn't let her leave yet. She kisses her on the lips. DeMoss doesn't object but it's still a very cautious kiss. Pensler-Gabrielli starts to unzip the buttons on DeMoss' blouse. She looks down at DeMoss' breasts and then into her eyes and says: "You are so beautiful." DeMoss excuses herself and says that she really must go now.

I don't know what went wrong over at Playboy when they did this tv-series, because it's excellent!! When you watch 'Eden', you actually feel like you're watching a regular low-budget daytime soap, but with sex scenes!
The second thing I don't understand is how they've managed to come up with such a nice lesbian sub-plot. First of all, the sexual orientation issue was never a part of the story. It's so refreshing to see a lesbian plot-line where the two women never discuss this. They've fallen for each other and that's it! It's as natural for them as any attraction between a man and a women ever could be. I want to see much more of this in mainstream productions.
I'm also weak when it comes to stories where a girl uses her looks and body to sexually tease a woman. I'm surprised how seldom you see this as a part of the build-up to a lesbian love scene. The love scenes between Pensler-Gabrielli and DeMoss were of course very soft, but I couldn't care less. Backed up by a story as exciting as this, they were amazing to watch!
