Barbara is riding the crest of the wave with the success of the show, acting on it which is made all the more easy with her high profile romance with Clive in art imitating life or visa versa. As such, many are speculating whether marriage is in the cards for the two of them, especially as she spends most nights at his apartment. The one person who does not like the publicity is Ted, who does not see business and pleasure, especially in something so high profile, mixing. One other person quietly seething is Dennis, although Edith can tell there are feelings at least from Dennis' side for Sophie. In the process, Barbara is exposed to other possibilities for the next step in her career, which may not be quite what Brian had in mind especially at this stage. Meanwhile, Marjorie is trying to expand her life experience, which takes a turn from what she had planned. And Diane makes another career change, this time out of print media into something more visible.
