Episode Overview
Years have passed, and Mildred has established herself as a thriving businesswoman. By 1937, she’s planning to launch her third restaurant in Laguna Beach, with Lucy now as her partner, following the opening of their second location in Beverly Hills. Veda, now an attractive 18-year-old, remains as self-centered as ever. She enjoys partying late into the night and ignores her mother's guidance. Aspiring to be an actress, she finds herself pregnant, but the father refuses to marry her. Mildred remains unaware of the situation until the boy’s mother reveals the truth. Veda, however, seeks something beyond marriage from him and his family. After Mildred kicks her out, several months pass without any contact, until she discovers that Veda has become a successful singer.
