Season 6 Episode Guide
3 Episodes 2011 - 2012
Episode 1
Identity
30 mins
Fresh out of prison after serving two years for (innocently) providing asylum seekers with false passports Saffy is unusually garlanded as a heroine by Patsy. Until Saffy brings her cell-mate Baron to stay and it turns out that Baron is Patsy's old drug dealer, to whom she owes £50,000 and Baron will not leave until she gets it. Fortunately there is a way out, though it means that Patsy will have to face up to being a pensioner and not thirty-nine, as she has claimed for so long.
Episode 2
Job
29 mins
In a stressful moment, Saffy, snapping, accuses Eddie of being a useless human being, a terrible mother, and an even worse grandmother, who she doesn't want in Jane's life. Wanting Saffy's approval, Eddie thinks she has a way to impress her daughter when she and Patsy spot French star Jeanne Durand, who Saffy admires, in a restaurant having a business meeting. Turning the situation to her advantage, Eddie is able to convince Jeanne for her to represent her in a new venture: singing. Going fast and furious, Eddie secures the Royal Albert Hall for an imminent one night only Jeanne Durand solo concert before planning on moving the show to Carnegie Hall. After making all these arrangements, Eddie hits a quite evident major hurdle in impressing Saffy in her association with Jeanne: it's not that Jeanne can't sing well, but.
Episode 3
Olympics
30 mins
Saffy has just returned from Africa, where she lives six months out of the year with Jane, John and his eight other wives, as she wants to be home for the Olympics, the British coverage of Team GB more comprehensive than what she could probably get in Africa. Who has totally forgot that the Olympics are happening are Eddie and Patsy. Eddie has rented out the flat to Michael Douglas for the course of the Games, she thus needing to rush to get prepared, not so much the flat itself, but herself - and Patsy as well - in wanting to impress Douglas. Eddie's goal with Douglas is for him to provide her access to all the happening events so that she can prove to him, herself and to the world that she, at her age, still has "it", which she may doubt especially in light of recent events with, or more precisely without Stella McCartney.
