Molly reflected on Gran’s warning about wishing for too much as she adjusted to the chaos since the Fabergé egg’s authentication. She had become an internet meme and a comedy target, with “I’m just a maid” turned into a national catchphrase, which Angela confirmed was still trending. Molly disliked the attention and leaned on Juan for stability.

After agreeing to auction the egg, Steve informed Molly and Juan that a Hidden Treasures crew would film a “sizzle reel” portraying “a day in the life of Molly” for the live auction episode. When Molly objected, Steve cited the waiver she signed and insisted they proceed. The crew began appearing constantly, including barging into a guest room while Molly vacuumed and asking her to redo work for multiple takes as guests watched and cheered.

The intrusion extended to home. On their day off, Steve and the film crew arrived unannounced at Molly and Juan’s apartment while Molly, Juan, and Mr. Preston tried to watch television. Steve staged them on the sofa to watch Hidden Treasures and instructed them to “act normal,” further underscoring the loss of privacy and normalcy.

Seeking something positive, Juan and Angela surprised Molly with an invitation to a boutique offering a sponsored wedding dress. Angela and Molly slipped out the back of the Social to avoid fans and arrived at Tears of Joy Bridal Shop, where the shopkeeper, Carmen, greeted them with champagne and three gowns to try: a mermaid-modern, a strapless trumpet, and a classic ball gown.

Molly rejected the first two dresses as not fitting her style. When she tried the third—a classic ball gown with a heart-shaped bodice, tulle straps, and a billowing chiffon skirt—both she and Angela were moved; Molly felt elegant and beautiful for the first time in a long while. She said “yes” to the dress.

Immediately, Carmen triggered a celebratory confetti drop and music, and Steve’s crew burst in to film. They crowded the fitting room, shoved a camera at Molly, and directed her to repeat her affirmation on camera. Steve brought in several unknown young women to pose as bridesmaids, hugging Molly and cheering for footage, while Carmen pushed more champagne and on-camera sound bites. Overwhelmed and speechless, Molly and Angela both cried—Molly from distress, Angela from shock and regret—while Angela mouthed an apology, saying she had not known the ambush would happen.
