Diplomatic Immunity

- Season 1

(2009)

Leighton arrives at the consulate and becomes attracted to Leilani. He is appalled by the consulate's way of doing things.

It's Fo'alafa Day, the Fe'ausian equivalent of April Fools' Day, and pranks take a turn for the worse.

In an attempt to buy Leighton off with the baubles of power, the Fe'ausians want to make him the first ever non-Fe'ausian Aratika (high chief). But not everything goes as planned.

Leighton arrives at the consulate to find it in the throes of preparing for several weddings, most of which are for members of a polygamous quasi-religious sect - and Leilani is included.

In the wake of Leilani's canceled marriage to Prince To'omai, Fe'ausi has declared war on Fa'akofa. Leighton does his best to stop the escalation of hostilities between the two proud nations.

The arrival of this week's diplomatic pouch in the hands of Niu, Fe'ausi's surfing legend, brings with it not just the usual contraband but something much more unpleasant.

For once, it's Leighton who must try to save the Fe'ausians from their own greed: they plan to sink all the money they have made from the phosphate mining into an extremely dodgy musical.

The annual Frangipani Festival showcases Pacific Island culture and gives Leighton the chance to book his ticket out of his Fe'ausian consulate hell.

An anti-whaling protester chains herself to the consulate gates while, at the same time, in Mick's hiding shed, there are cans of corned whale waiting to be exported to Japan.

Leighton gets a blast from the past as Princess Grace drops in for a surprise visit after coming out of her latest stint of rehab.

Jonah has a new woman in his life, Svetlana. But is Jonah being played, and has he become the victim of a honey trap?

The king listens to the evil royal nutritionist and goes on a diet, which means that every Fe'ausian must go on the same diet - and it's vegan.

The War on Terror comes to Fe'ausi as Bumabuma Day (the Fe'ausian equivalent of Guy Fawkes Day) looms.
