Selina'' close personal ex-husband Andrew has died and - much to Florence's rage and fury - left her a small Picasso. Meanwhile the murky waters of daughter Lucy's parentage are stirred as Florence's PA Mrs Ragnarrok has a mysterious meeting with Jonathan, who happens to be Lucy's father. Unaware of any of this, Lucy continues to plan the round-the-world yacht voyage that everyone has completely forgotten she is about to undertake.
