Mrs. Quinn's Rise to Fame

As Jenny, Azeez, and Sorcha wait for filming to begin, Sorcha rudely suggests that Jenny does not deserve to be in the Britain Bakes final. For the final challenge, Jenny bakes a gingerbread picnic basket filled with her favorite family recipes. As Jenny approaches the judges to present her bake, the gingerbread picnic basket collapses.

In a flashback, Jenny and James arrive at the adoption agency where they will be parted. When a secretary comes to take James, Jenny leaves to go to the bathroom, not understanding that he will not return. When she realizes that she will not get the chance to say goodbye to him, she weeps and grows angry and resentful about having to give him up.

In the present, Azeez wins the Britain Bakes final in front of a small audience of the contestants’ friends and family. In a post-final interview, Jenny suggests that cooking family recipes allowed her loved ones to be with her in the competition.

After filming ends, Jenny’s memories of placing James for adoption make it difficult for her to return to her normal life. She feels consumed with guilt about her decades of lying to Bernard and struggles to celebrate with him when her place on Britain Bakes is officially announced.
