The ever-glamorous and self-indulgent Edina and Patsy are now in their 60s; Edina is still running her PR agency, which is quickly running out of money and interest. The duo realise that Edina needs a miracle to save her PR company and renew her reputation.
Bubble wakes up a hungover Edina, who has come home from a fashion event. Edina realises that she signs a deal for an autobiography that day. Edina wakes Patsy up and tells her about her book, and how it will be "made into a film because it's about her life", whilst Patsy self-applies Botox. The company head (Mark Gatiss) rejects Edina's book because it is lazily written and there is little interest in Edina's PR agency. Whilst Patsy is setting up designer Huki Muki's fashion event, Patsy learns that supermodel Kate Moss is changing her PR, and immediately informs Edina. Patsy phones whilst Edina is at a PR meeting with rival PR Claudia Bing (Celia Imrie) and during the phone call with Patsy she accidentally leaves speaker on, leading Claudia to learn of Kate Moss's need for a new PR.
Edina and Patsy go to the fashion event with Edina's granddaughter, Lola, whilst Edina's daughter and Lola's mother, Saffron "Saffy" Monsoon, has a night out with her new boyfriend, Nick (Robert Webb). Edina finds Kate Moss on the balcony that is overlooking the Thames. Edina is aiming speak to Kate, but then Edina notices that Claudia is also there to see Kate, she rushes out to speak to Kate first, and accidentally bumps into her, causing her to fall off the balcony into the Thames.
