Meanwhile, a rendezvous between Venetia and Chad with Mykynnleigh, concerning their business deal, sparks Chad's suspicions. He's concerned that Mykynnleigh's uncharacteristic composure signals inside information. Venetia, however, dismisses his apprehensions and encourages him to bask in their achievement.
Marco is facing his own challenges back at the office. The guest list for the forthcoming activation event is giving him a headache, as high-profile personalities vie for invitations. Amid this chaos, Ben pays a visit. Rather than joining the festivities, Ben prefers the virtual world of gaming. Amid planning their upcoming hangout, an undercurrent of flirtation is palpable.
Despite Venetia's delight over Marco and Ben's budding relationship, Marco hesitates to label their connection. He's torn between his attraction to Ben and lingering feelings for Parker. This internal struggle motivates him to meet Parker to end things formally, even though it's a clear recipe for disaster, and innocent Ben stands to bear the brunt.
In another corner of the office, Madolyn and James continue to juggle romance and professional duties. The only crack in their seemingly perfect relationship arises from James's jealousy of Teddy. However, Madolyn manages to allay his fears by stressing Teddy's familial role in her life.
Things take a turn when Venetia notices Teddy's peculiar behavior, leading to a shocking discovery of a hidden microphone in Madolyn's car. Venetia immediately shares her findings with Chad, validating his earlier concerns about Mykynnleigh's potential espionage via Teddy.
Marco's romantic entanglements reach a climax when he sleeps with Parker during their lunch date. Despite this unexpected turn, Marco maintains that he's moving forward. His unresolved emotions for Parker, fueled by feelings of insecurity, suggest a classic case of attraction to the 'bad boy', despite the potential harm.
Following his encounter with Parker, Marco invites Ben to the upcoming event. Ben happily cancels his other commitments, mistakenly believing they're now exclusive, while Marco's unresolved feelings for Parker continue to loom.
The unfolding spy drama intensifies as Chad and Venetia reveal Teddy's suspected treachery to Madolyn. As they hatch a plan to exploit the planted bug to their advantage, emotions run high, and trust is shattered.
As the event night arrives, Ben confides in Britt about his fears concerning Marco's past. Ecstatic about Parker being out of the picture, Ben revels in his newfound opportunity with Marco.
However, Marco continues to struggle with his feelings. His mother's advice, while well-intentioned, isn't entirely helpful. The unresolved attraction between Marco and Parker endangers Ben's emotional well-being, casting Marco as the real culprit in this love triangle.
The event proves a hit, with even Mykynnleigh acknowledging the brand's respectful nod to Pride history. The news of multiple offers for Glamorous by Madolyn prompts Vendemiaire to enhance their bid, though it comes with an immediate signing clause for Madolyn.
Amidst this corporate rollercoaster, Marco tries to clarify his intentions with Ben, causing emotional distress. Ultimately, he decides to give Parker another chance, leaving Ben heartbroken.
In a shocking twist, Mykynnleigh reveals that the real traitor is James, not Teddy, leaving Madolyn devastated. Venetia, Chad, and Madolyn grapple with this revelation, and disagreements emerge over the deal's implications on Madolyn's legacy.
Following this tumultuous night, Madolyn confronts James about his betrayal, refusing to let him back into her life. The episode concludes with Venetia and Mykynnleigh conspiring to ensure the deal proceeds, regardless of Madolyn's feelings.
Marco's romantic dilemma evokes mixed feelings. Parker's remorse and readiness to amend their relationship conflicts with Ben's consistent affection and longing for a chance with Marco. It seems Marco's heart leans towards Parker, but at what cost?
Simultaneously, Venetia's loyalty to the company is called into question. Despite her dedication, she occasionally seems poised to abandon ship. As we eagerly await the next episode, we ponder: Will Britt be the one to dissuade Venetia from a poor decision again?
Glamorous is now streaming on Netflix.
