Overview: Saffron accepts a marriage proposal from Paolo, her pompous, controlling Italian boyfriend, to Edina's shock. Edina and Patsy travel to a ski resort in Val-d'Isère, France, but they are disappointed by the lack of celebrities in town. Later, a drunken altercation ensues when Edina points out their constant dependency on each other, destroying their chalet in the process. The next day, Edina loses control while skiing and nearly falls over a cliff. In a near-death experience, God (in the guise of Marianne Faithfull) appears to Edina in heaven, informing her that it is not her time yet. Back in London, Mother is brought home by a disguised Bo—who is hiding from Scientologists—after being mistaken for a terrorist at the airport, and realises she has forgotten to collect her American friends, Mac and Millie.
