Corinne is forced into a public clash when colleague Saniya taunts Abby Lindsey and mocks Corinne's 'natural beauty' image, even calling Abby a 'fat cow.' A staffer warns that Midland Hospital holds surgery records that could destroy Corinne's image just as seven international brands are lined up for Global Fashion Week, raising the stakes. Meanwhile Dominic faces insubordination—his assistant strikes him—and an escort steps in, warning anyone not to touch her. The episode ends as a man who openly opposes Dominic appears and is oddly familiar, foreshadowing a confrontation.
