Answer: 4

In a voice-over before Gunilla's luncheon with Shelly, Annie observed: "Indeed, Gunilla was a first, second, third, and fourth wife, which accounted for her very comfortable surroundings." During the luncheon, we see that Gunilla has a lavishly-appointed home with at least two maids in attendance.

Answer: Elise Eliot

In a voice-over as Gunilla and Elise arrive at the funeral, Annie observed: "Elise Eliot arrived with Gunilla Garson-Goldberg, the queen of New York society. Nobody gets anywhere in this town without Gunilla's say-so." Gunilla and Elise exchanged comments about the tragedy of Cynthia's death at the entrance, and then Gunilla made a rather humorous observation about Elise's most recent round of cosmetic surgery.

Answer: Shelly

Shelly said to Morty about the invitation: "This just feels so right. Me and Gunilla." Shelly is delighted to receive an invitation to Gunilla's home for lunch, and starts exclaiming in French. Morty is rather confused as to why she would have been invited at all.

Answer: your house

Gunilla plays to Shelly's insecurities about (and her desire to become part of) New York high society. Gunilla mentions to Shelly that all she needs to take her place in society is a little advice. An example of Gunilla's advice includes: "See, your house is your calling card. It has to be perfected. Photographed. Published." Shelly hangs on her every word.

Answer: Divine hair stylist

Gunilla makes these suggestions while trying to manipulate Shelly into hiring Duarto Feliz to decorate her penthouse. This is a rather funny scene because Gunilla is trying to convince Shelly that Duarto is the best designer that New York has to offer, but she can't remember his name, and has to slyly read it off of his business card.

Answer: Duarto

The code phrase that she uses to alert the team searching the penthouse is: "Social climbers on the rise." Forewarned that Morty is returning, the team attempts to exit the penthouse before his arrival. They were unsuccessful in escaping unnoticed through the front door, so they headed to the balcony and used the window-washing platform to make their getaway.

Answer: Yung Ching charger

It looked like Brenda's bid was going to win for the Yung Ching charger, and nothing Gunilla and Duarto were saying was convincing Shelly to raise the bid. It wasn't until the last seconds of the sale that Gunilla came up with the strategy that played best to Shelly's weaknesses, "Jackie O had one just like it."

Answer: Brenda Cushman

Brenda showed up at the auction in disguise. She wore a blond wig, orange gloves, and large sunglasses. Gunilla tried to get Shelly to outbid Brenda by forbidding her to let the plate leave the country.

Answer: Brenda's uncle

In an earlier scene, Carmine Morelli, the brother of Brenda's dearly departed father, tells Brenda that Morty is garbage - and that it would be an honor to take him out. It provided a stark and endearing contrast to see the grand dame of New York society finding charming the company of a distinguished gentleman with ties to the criminal underworld.
