She bids her farewell to her colleagues of the last 7 years, including Hunt and dances it out with Meredith one last time to an old favorite song.

It has been many years since we last caught up with the girls and they have been given the sharp end of life's pointy stick. We come to Sharon at a book signing. She comes across her sister Tracey, who she has not seen in a while for reasons. Just then, we see a car come up. It's Dorien, who has gotten famous for her book "Sixty Shades of Green" under the name of Foxy Cohen. The trio talk. It turns out that Dorien left a long time ago in pursuit of fame. It's also revealed that Tracey has since had a second husband, who Sharon didn't like and which led to her being kicked out. The sisters head home, with Tracey giving Sharon a ride back. Back at the book signing, Dorien receives an envelope from a man...
