After last week’s shock revelations of Alex’s cheating scandal, there was no surprise that this week was going to be a tear jerker – get the tissues ready girls!
At what seemed like a slight anti-climax at the beginning of the episode, Binky made the decision to fly to New York for a few days with her Mum and sister. Despite desperately wanting to get through the cheating, heart breaking situation, Binky was sure to flee the city in the hope to clear her head. But don’t worry, she comes back later on in the episode.
Meanwhile, much to audience shock, Louise and Spencer take a nice shopping trip together (yes, just the two of them). The newly reformed BFFs seemed to be getting along just fine, so much so that Spencer even invited his “Porg” (Person of Restricted Growth) to lunch with him and his new love interest, Emma Miller. Louise certainly didn’t hold back when it came to telling Emma the kind of boyfriend Spencer is and the extent of his unfaithful ways. That sure is one way to get your own back!
Now, everyone knows Stevie for his chilled out, laid back kind of personality – he’s not one to get too involved with the weekly Chelsea dramas. However, he found himself in the centre of the ring during this week’s episode. After being the first person to reveal the possibility of Alex’s cheating, and being the first person to supposedly be aware of the female culprit, the rest of the boys made it their responsibility to make Stevie aware that he should have warned Alex that if he was not to own up/explain the rumours to Binky, then Cheska (or any of the other girls) will be more than happy to do so. And as a matter of fact, Alex was confronted by Lucy on her walk home from a bar. Living up to her fiery, don’t-mess-with-me attitude, she was sure to annihilate him and grill him of his actions.
Remember Stephanie Pratt? One of Spencer’s ex-flings. The American one. Well she’s back in London whilst travelling Europe with her muscular, model ‘friend’ (he’s called Eric). Now ever since her and Lucy have become the best of friends, and joined at the hip through the powers of technology, Watson was the first person that she saw after landing in the UK. A minor detail which later opens a whole can of worms, is that nobody is aware of her visit (uh oh, this is only going to end badly). Rosie hosts a black tie ball, featuring Mark Francis and his signature Waltz, which Lucy and Stephanie chose to use as their opportunity to drop the bombshell of her whereabouts. Obviously everyone is at this party, including Spencer and Emma Miller. Dressed in her finest ball gown, she enters the venue with a classic Chelsea one-liner, “Hey ass-hole”. Spencer’s face was a picture. The sheer shock to have a considerable number of ex-girlfriends/flings in the same room was almost too much for him to handle – especially when Stephanie gave him the grilling that she did. Spencer was left gawping, with not a clue in the world where to look, what to say, let alone what to do (first time for everything!)
Simultaneously, Binky arrives home from New York and finally plucks up the courage to have her dreaded meeting with love-rat, Alex. He mumbles a whole bunch of nothing and begins to weep so it’s left to Binky to get loud, angry and explain how much of a coward he is. “He should be the one grovelling.” It’s hard to not agree with her but it looks as though he is looking for an easy way out. However something tells me this is not the last we’ll see of these two.
