Another week brought another exciting episode of WAGs Boutique, or as I like to refer to it, Michaela versus Julie — Round 1. With Julie finally voted store manager of Bows, things quickly went pear-shaped when she ended up in a heated row with Michaela. Despite a queue reportedly stretching around the block, Michaela decided to go shopping, leaving the customer service duties to the rest of her team. When she returned to discover that two team members had been given permission to leave early, she began screaming at Julie in front of customers — only with such an intense accent, it was hard to tell what she was actually saying. Maybe ITV2 should consider subtitles for moments like this!
Key Episode Highlights:
- Bows Store Conflict: Julie struggles to keep authority as Michaela clashes with management decisions.
- Market Struggle: Both teams face wet weather and steep discounts at Portobello Market.
- Better Half Dynamics: Charlotte deals with staff extended lunches and rising tension.
This week's task, titled "The Vintage Challenge," gave each team the opportunity to choose vintage clothing items to sell at Portobello Market. While selecting and selling 86 items on a market stall might seem like a dream project, shifting stock and setting up marquees in pouring rain proved exhausting. When bad weather hit, some of the cast members literally hid under tables. Both teams eventually slashed prices to £1 per item to compete for shoppers. Cold and fed up, Bows manager Julie allowed team members to head home early, triggering another explosion from Michaela.
Episode Sales Comparison:
| Store Team | Challenge Task | Total Profit | Result |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Bows | Vintage Market Stall | £258.00 | Runner-up |
| The Better Half Boutique | Vintage Market Stall | £497.27 | Winner |
Over at the Better Half boutique, equal drama was unfolding. Store manager Charlotte struggled to maintain control over her team when Cassie took an extended three-hour lunch with Jadene, causing tempers and tears to flare across the shop floor.
At the final decider, mentor Anna Park delivered a sharp critique of Michaela's behavior, for which Michaela offered no explanation or apology. On the financial front, the Better Half boutique managed to bring in a total profit of £497.27 compared to Bows' £258.00, securing another win for Better Half and bringing the overall series score to 2–0.
