Lucky arrives at Avery’s home in London, where Chiti greets her warmly (Avery is attending an AA meeting, as she is concerned about maintaining her sobriety while grieving). When Chiti confides that she and Avery are going to be trying to conceive, Lucky feels both happiness and a sense of loss. Lucky decides to go to a party hosted by an acquaintance and is just leaving when Avery arrives home. Avery is somewhat disappointed that her sister is leaving because she wants to discuss their mother’s plan to sell the apartment. Lucky shrugs it off: Having left home at a young age to begin her modeling career, Lucky is less attached to the apartment than her sisters are. 

Lucky travels into central London and attends a party with an acquaintance whom she knows only as “Troll Doll.” Lucky consumes a large amount of alcohol and drugs, and she is barely conscious when a mysterious man refers to her as “Nicky’s baby.” Before Lucky can figure out who he is, or how he knows her sister, she passes out. She barely remembers how she ends up in a cab, and she is left unconscious on the steps of Avery’s home.
