Ramses de Nile and his assistant Manu arrive a little earlier than planned, but most of the preparations are already done. Manu opens the briefcase to show Cleo the finds, but to Ramses' annoyance, Cleo is only interested in one item: a Vogue business card from Anna Wintour. Cleo insists he tells the story behind obtaining it, and Ramses confides he met the normie on the plane from Cairo and that she was looking to do a "Cairo Couture" fashion shoot in the Oregon sand dunes, featuring Nerfertiti's jewels. Ramses makes no secret of his disinterest, but Cleo is ecstatic. She insists he contacts Anna Wintour to be a model for the shoot and wear her aunt's jewelry, promising in return that she'll supervise the shoot to make sure their interests won't be damaged. Ramses eventually gives in and is profusely thanked for it. Next, Cleo tries to text her friends to meet with them and speak about the shoot.
Cleo desperately tries to continue texting her friends and the AT&T company concerning her inability to receive any cell service. Manu texts back revealing that a firewall was put up, blocking communication to and from the palace due to her father's wishes, but had been temporarily put down under Manu's wishes.
The intern leaves in a huff, and Cleo goes to Manu, asking where the girls are. Manu happily responds that they are there. The accessories editor, Jaydra, gathers the team and announces the girls' arrival and the time crunch they are under, requiring the girls to go through hair and makeup quickly before they lose light.
While Candace calls their parents to tell them the good news and asks for Kolin's number afterward, Cleo and Melody return to the waiting tent, where Manu asks if Melody's mother, Marina, is there. Melody becomes confused, citing that her mother was Glory Carver, and Manu eventually agrees, citing that Marina's daughter had an unfortunate nose. This stuns Melody, who remains completely silent when Cleo asks for Melody's forgiveness. Anxious to make up with her friends, Cleo merely leaves the shoot rather than ask what was wrong. [Source]
