While her friends rally around Sintamei to lend their support, our glamour queen is out lunching with a potential new sugar daddy, the handsome plastic surgeon, Dr B. Her absence causes frustration for Olivia, who is feeling the weight of supporting Sintamei while keeping their new law firm afloat.
Things progress quickly for Mariah. She ignores the calls and texts from her friends and leaves the restaurant with Dr B for a romantic afternoon sojourn. Meanwhile, Ritchie takes Natasha out for lunch and feels the pressure of her expensive tastes, and he’s left with a hefty bill and a promise from Natasha for “next time.”
Rebecca is equally stressed about money, and can’t afford a decent cake for Jayden’s birthday. Her son feels neglected and unloved by his parents, but when Rebecca confronts Eric about forgetting to pick him up after school, things don’t end well.
