Mia is blamed when Kate's birthday dress fails to arrive before lunch. Staff and Nick escalate, call her a lackey and threaten to fire her as rumors even question Kate's parentage; Mia insists Kate is her sister. Their private argument spills into the event—Nick reminds Mia he only let her move in because she was his bodyguard—and organizers demand who is in charge. The package finally arrives: the birthday gift ordered a month ago, addressed to Ms. Blair, leaving who ordered the dress and whether the party can proceed unresolved.
