Adele's childhood friend stays at The Grand while recuperating from surgery and drags Adele and the servants into her antics. The anniversary of their daughter's death drives a wedge between John and Sarah, which Marcus uses to his advantage.

Worried that he might have been exposed to a deadly disease, John makes a surprising confession to Sarah. Monica dines with a hotel guest and makes an impulsive decision that will irrevocably change her life.

When James gets called back to London, Monica finds herself with no place to stay, leading to a horrifying turn of events. Anticipating their wedding, Marcus and Ruth move into The Grand, much to Ruth's dismay.
