Added DiffLines:

We start at the supermarket "Ludo", where the girls are shopping. During this, Dorien gets a phone call. It's ''The Daily Mail'', and they inform Dorien that she's been mentioned in someone's saucy memoirs. At the till they come across two ladies (named Annie and Sadie) who act and look remarkably like older versions of themselves. They also bicker a lot, which is enough to spook the two.

At home, Dorien is distressed about how she would be perceived in the papers, especially since she has a reputation to keep. Apparently, a man named Lord Shoreswell died whilst fox-hunting and she's featured in his memoirs. Travis points out that if Dorien's story was featured in his memoir, then that means that she can prove that her memoir was based on real-life events.

In court, Dorien is accused of plagiarism. However, she puts forward her trump card, Lord Shoreswell's biography and she wins the case. However, she seemingly leaves behind the sisters for her party at the Quotidian Hotel. Even worse, Sharon laments her place in the house and begins fighting with Tracey.

Dorien does invite the girls to the party and introduces them to her consort. However, everyone leaves before she can make a speech. Dorien realizes that these people were never really her friends. Dorien eventually decides to leave to bigger places but, realizing the true meaning of friendship, decides to live with the girls from now on.
