Sophie and Dennis are facing challenges, both together and individually. The "together" issue is that they cannot be together until Dennis is divorced, especially problematic if the paparazzi, who are following her, catches them, the divorce which proves to be more challenging to achieve than he expects. And individually, they cannot work together in Dennis being banished from the network and Sophie being under contract, thus Ted directing what she can and cannot do professionally. What is in the works for her is a spin-off of her Barbara character, Ted wanting Clive or someone like Clive back in the picture. What is most problematic for her is that the all-male old boys creative team have no idea how to write a modern young female character. And Dennis, with Bill and Tony still by his side in their next project, is saddled with a diva and divo with unreasonable demands as leads.
