Nina resents Sam's lack of support given her own predicament and lashes out at Sam. Similarly, Sam is struck by the absence of pictures of the two of them in Nina's dorm room. Nina responds that it would complicate her life if people knew she was best friends with a royal. Both friends depart hurt by one another. Sam returns to the palace bereft, but is hard pressed to find consolation from either Jeff or Teddy. In fact, she has been tasked to pick out Beatrice's engagement ring with Teddy.
