And when Anthony envisions Kate instead of Edwina, Edwina comes to the devastating realisation that Anthony and Kate have feelings for each other.

Quite the opposite, Portia relishes in the scandal. Eloise continues with her mission to solve the mystery of Theo. When Anthony is unable to say he loves Edwina, it adds further evidence to her that he loves Kate. However, Edwina knows that if they don’t marry, the scandal is going to be huge.
After Anthony corners Kate in a closet, Kate believes her actions have ruined Edwina’s life, and she bids goodbye to the lord. Kate goes to see Edwina and finally reveals the truth. She admits that she has feelings for Anthony, but that her feelings don’t match her love for Edwina.
