Dorothy shows up late for a party hosted by billionaire Stephen Hung’s wife, Deborah, setting up a season-long rivalry.
Meanwhile, Richard asks Dorothy and Tina for their support in promoting his charity project and wellness business, but they start to feel like he’s asking too much. Things are also getting serious between Richard and his girlfriend, Vika, who also wants to prove to the rest of the group that she’s her own person.

Heiress Nam must decide whether to return home to Thailand after finishing grad school or stay in New York and face being cut off financially. Couture designer Lynn is at the top of her game, but her husband and business manager, Jett, wants to strike out on his own.
