Andrew Bullock: The Box

MADE IN CHELSEA SEASON 10 EP 6

Jess is having a haircut as an attempt to banish the demons of romance past. Trouble is, she’s as embroiled as ever, this time by shoving her oar into Mytton and Irish Nicola’s business. Rumour has it they’re on the rocks and Jess has advised him to “take a break” a la Ross and Rachel. In order to set up Nicola’s fury, there is a pointless scene of her in a chauffeur driven car, leaving Mytton a voicemail telling him they need to talk. She is then dropped off on the side of the North Circular with her bags.
Rosie’s slagging Lucy’s dress sense off after hearing that Lucy called her fashionably irrelevant. Apparently Rosie wasn’t impressed with her dress choice at the music recital last week, claiming that she was practically in her négligée.

Nicola and Mytton are attempting to sort out their issues. It transpires that he went to Ibiza without telling her. Just when you think he has managed to trick her into believing that he didn’t touch anyone else’s supple thighs whilst there, Toff drops by with the news that Mytton texted Jess for advice.
Nicola demands to see the text thread but conveniently his phone seems to have blown up and deleted them. She wants to know why Mytton didn’t tell her about this. “I forgot,” he claims. “What else did you forget in Ibiza?” Nicola asks, wryly. She then takes matters into her own hands and summons Jess (who comes to see her literally dressed like a Norwegian exchange student) and asks to see the texts on her phone. Jess is tentative but shows her. We get a glimpse but really we want a transcript – a transcript of Mytton’s entire texting history over the past two years.

Whilst shopping for champagne, Tallulah tells Victoria that she and Spenny have been doing the knickerless fandango. This information then comes out at Victoria’s weird bespoke cake baking class, rendering Emma a laughing stock (she’s not invited to cake baking because everyone despises her).
Jamie tells Spenny that it’s sensible for him not to be tying himself down to one woman. No one is shocked that he feels this way.
Spenny’s with Emma trying to understand her ridiculous affected accent and Victoria strolls over like a dog with a bone to disrupt things. This is what’s so great about MIC (and life) these days. Social disruption and vindictive meddling is no longer taboo and is executed much more openly nowadays so Victoria has no qualms in announcing the news that Spenny has been fondling Tallulah.
Mytton and Nicola discuss their issues on a balcony and I literally think one of them is going to chuck the other one off it. But no. Just a regular old argument and storm off situation this time.
