As the story unfolds, Nan navigates romantic entanglements with two men, Guy Thwarte and Theo, the Duke of Tintagel. Meanwhile, her friends face their own challenges and scandals. The episode ends with Nan accepting Theo's proposal, but the return to New York promises more drama and unresolved feelings with Guy.
