Nancy and the rest of the Mitford family is also curious about Diana’s multiple trips to Germany in the last year.

Diana confronts Nancy about her manuscript for Wigs on the Green. Diana says that if Nancy publishes the book, their relationship is over. Nancy is hurt and confused. She reminds Diana that, unlike her, Nancy doesn’t have a wealthy ex-husband who pays spousal support. Nancy agrees to revisit the content of the novel and make edits if possible.

Mosley tells Diana they need to file a libel suit against Nancy for her book, but Diana convinces him not to. Mosley has been having an affair with Baba which he claims is due to Baba’s control of her wealthy family’s finances and the child support she pays to Mosley on behalf of Cimmie. What’s more, Baba has a connection with Mussolini’s ambassador to London, a political relationship Mosley wants to take advantage of.
