Jimmy Wallace returns from New York and reports on the globe theatre revival The Girl Upstairs and designer Doris Dane. Violet Williamson invites Jimmy to dinner to discuss Rose Aldrich with John Williamson, triggering tension about Rose and Violet.
Jimmy tells Violet how Rose Dane rose from a Star company designer to financier and head of a private costume venture. He recalls meeting her at the Casino and her stark vitality, while Rodney learns Rose is back in New York and confronts James Randolph about her past and his own bitterness.
