Double Trouble the Dolly sisters film is filmed at the store with the sisters playing a double act of being thieves, no typecasting there then, with acclaimed actor Bumby Wallace (Sam Attwater) never heard of him. Meryl (Lottie Tolhurst) also has a part in the movie. They both ask Harry (Jeremy Piven) for new shoes. As Harry yells "cut." He always wanted to say that. Grove (Tom Goodman-Hill) takes photos of Meryl with Bumby and Harry tells her she's a part of the family. D'Ancona (Vincent Riotta) comes in to collect his debt but Harry doesn't have it and he doesn't want an instalment, telling Harry owning one of the biggest stores in the world means nothing. The Dolly's make trouble and they're costing money. The film producer, Stone (Robert Morgan) needs Harry to be around to keep an eye on them. Rosie (Emma Hamilton) later tells him that Jenny's (Zoe Richards) the one making all the trouble and she'll keep her in check, but Harry tells her it's Rosie they're complaining about. He also receives £10,000 bill raked by the sisters in gambling debts. Only it's too late for Harry to realize they're bleeding him high and dry. Rosie tells him he said they could have credit.
Harry wants a front page retraction from Wynnstay (Robert Pugh) for the article on Rosalie (Kara Tointon) and all his family stories are to be kept off limits otherwise he'll withdraw advertizing and he's the biggest advertizer he's got. Wynnstay wants to deal with Harry and not Frank (Samuel West). Wynnstay's also invited to the party being thrown by Harry for the film opening at the store. He calls Flick (Joanna Bobin) and wants her to come to the party with him, obviously to dig more dirt. Harry knows Frank made a mistake but he doesn't have a wife to make it up to and needs to put things right with Kitty (Amy Beth Hayes). As she ponders whether to accept the Elizabeth Arden offer. She needs to reply by the end of the next day. She asks Frank why he wants children as they didn't think about it before and it's different for him cos he's a man, she'd have to give up her job. She later asks George (Calum Callaghan) what she should do and why he wanted children, cos he's a man. He always did and got on well with them but if she still loves Frank then she needs to talk to him about it. Also seeing how Connie (Sacha Parkinson) is now showing. She tells Kitty she always wanted to be a mother.
Meryl was angry about Miss Mardle (Amanda Abbington) coming to see her father and they have tea. She's still at the hotel and Grove wonders why she didn't stay with Crab (Roger Cook) since he invited her to come. They go for a walk in the park and he cries when he recalls how he wanted to retire and enjoy the years with his children and how he's so afraid. They were apart seven years and went their own way. He can't ask her to be here for him or the children. When they return home, he's too tired and Meryl asks her to tea. She asks if she's going back and Miss Mardle says she'll stay for a while, as long as he wants her to. Meryl tells her she can't leave even if he asks her to. Meryl's invited Miss Mardle to dinner and he shows them the photos he took. They should start a family album. He and Miss Mardle take a turn in the garden and he proposes to her; but doesn't want her to accept out of pity, or take on the children too. She accepts and would love to take the children too. He even has a ring ready for her.
The London Civic society has been buying more shares in Selfridges and he asks Crab about the chairman's account being in the red, as Harry's combining his personal and professional costs. Crab says he's a dog on a long rope and he knows exactly what the society's doing. He's always been loyal to Harry. Harry pays a visit to Wynnstay ensuring him if he doesn't stay away from his family he will withdraw the advertizing. Adding money still talks. Harry also finds that Rosie's cheating on him with Bumby and tells Mae (Kathleen Kelly) they were just using his money all this time. Took him long enough.
At the party, they also make a spectacle of themselves doing a risque dance before Harry tells George to throw them out. Victor (Trystan Gravelle) asks Mae to sing as Jimmy (Sacha Dhawan) arrives and he gets jealous of them. D'Ancona sends his goons to smash the Selfridge windows. Leading more costs for Harry to deal with. It's too late for Harry now to salvage anything. The only one with any sort of a decent storyline is Miss Mardle and returning when Grove needs her the most and more importantly staying with his family too. As Grove asks how they just let it all slip away.
All relationships falling apart except George and Connie but Kitty finds out Frank did the dirty on her with Flick, as Flick lets slip on purpose that she didn't know Kitty would be so beautiful. Well he should've been honest with Kitty or at least he shouldn't have let her anywhere near Flick. Of course that's why Wynnstay invited her to the party, to make trouble and show Harry who's really boss.
Mae and Victor's singing, or rather miming was funny! It was so obvious.
