Amber and Daphne work on seating arrangements for the fundraiser. Afterward, they have tea and chat, and Daphne offers to let Amber borrow one of her dresses for the benefit. Daphne leaves to pick up her children from tennis, meanwhile Amber explores her closet filled with designer clothes. She looks in a side room and discovers pictures of Daphne’s dead sister and a pearl-handled pistol engraved with YMB. The Parrishes return home and Tallulah helps Amber pick out a dress.

At work on Christmas Eve, Jenna gifts Amber some Christmas cookies. The next day, Amber goes to the Parrish home to celebrate, giving gifts to everyone. The extravagance makes Amber’s jealousy grow as she thinks about her many childhood Christmases in poverty. Daphne gives Amber a pearl necklace, the first genuine jewelry she has ever owned. Amber gifts Jackson a book about cave paintings and re-gifts Jenna’s cookies, claiming she made them. This cements her bond with Bella.

Amber calls Daphne and asks to come to her house. There, Amber lies and says that her boss has been sexually harassing her. Daphne encourages her to report it, but Amber claims she cannot because she kissed a different real estate agent in the past.
