Episode Summary

Anna goes house hunting; attends Guess? 20th Anniversary Party
* * *
Anna goes house hunting with her entourage. She really likes house #2, but the rent is too high and she hasn't received her money yet. Anna then gets emotional over the house and claims that it reminds her of Howard (that'd be her former husband J. Howard Marshall).
She attends a Guess? 20th anniversary party where she is photographed and a fuss is made over her. Afterward, she confesses that she loves her paparazzi.
The next morning they talk to other brokers in an attempt to find a house. After a short search they find what Anna calls her dream house.

Episode Cast and Crew

View All
  • At the begining of episode #1, Howard states that Anna is moving because she's had problems with a stalker. Yet, throughout the episode, they consistently give away information about the location of the new house. Kim says it has to be close to Daniel's school. It most likely wouldn't be hard to find out where Daniel goes to school. Then Anna goes along the road calling out the names of the streets on the way to her new house. The broker even states the name of the street the new house is on -- Calvina. Shots of the streetsigns as the car passes them establish the house is somewhere in the neighborhood of 16600 Calvina, and with a shot of what the house looks like wrapping up the ride, it probably wouldn't be hard for a resourceful person to find the house. So some have to wonder how worried Howard is about a stalker. []
