When an indiscretion with a married MP leads to unwanted press attention, Patsy books into hospital for a face lift, while Edina is admitted for a foot operation.
When Edina's father passes away, Saffron is horrified by her mother's lack of grief, which soon manifests itself in a realisation of her own mortality.
Saffron asks Edina's accountant to emphasize the risks of Edina's constant overspending, but Edina and Patsy find it difficult to adjust to a more frugal lifestyle.
