Now, newly directionless Cara is on a quest to find herself, and Lizzie - desperate to make sure her bosses never find out her role in this fiasco - gets strong-armed by James into 'entertaining' her. Cara doesn't have to know it's a setup; it'll just be a quick fling before she sobers up and goes back to her real life. After…
