While caring for a sick Clementine, Andy receives a panicked call from Agatha. Soon after, Emily calls from Santa Barbara to report that Olive Chase and Clint’s wedding has been delayed twice and may be called off, jeopardizing The Plunge’s cover story, much of the editorial content, and over half the advertising. Frantically calling from LAX, Emily arranges for Andy’s nanny, Isla, to come in immediately, promising her two weeks’ bonus pay without Andy’s approval.

Andy rushes to the office, where Emily orchestrates an all-night push to salvage the issue with a backup cover. Max calls from Boston and urges Andy to accept the Elias-Clark acquisition before word of the crisis spreads; she bristles and hangs up. Minutes later, Miranda Priestly’s assistant, Charla, invites Andy to a dinner at Miranda’s home that Friday. Andy declines, but Emily—who received the same invitation—has already accepted for both, calling it necessary for business.

The staff works around the clock for two days. Just as exhaustion peaks, Olive’s publicist calls to confirm that the wedding is back on for the next afternoon. Emily immediately books a return flight to Santa Barbara.

On Friday evening, Andy and Emily arrive at Miranda’s lavish Upper East Side apartment. They are greeted by Cassidy, one of Miranda’s twins, and her boyfriend, who skip dinner, citing Miranda’s meat-centric menu.
