Episode 7 of "Inventing Anna" kicks off with Paul pressing Vivian relentlessly, urging her to finalize the article and submit it to him promptly. With the arrival of her baby looming just two weeks away and a mere draft yet to materialize, Vivian's mind remains clouded by the Rachel ordeal. But why has she refrained from communicating with Rachel? It transpires that Rachel has already sold her story to Vanity Fair, unbeknownst to Vivian.
Upon delving into the matter, Vivian discovers that the article was penned by Rachel herself. While Paul laments their misfortune, Vivian lashes out at Rachel, accusing her of being a pseudo-journalist and asserting that her own piece delves into the "chains of female ambition." Vivian's pitch resonates with Landon, and she's granted the green light to continue writing.
Flashbacks reveal Rachel struggling under the weight of stress. She's buried in debt, totaling $62,000, while Anna remains elusive, avoiding her calls and sidestepping the issue. Anna promises to wire the money, yet three months pass without a dime. Finally, Anna transfers... just $5,000, a mere fraction of what she owes.
Rachel clings to the illusion that she and Anna are still friends, oblivious to Anna's true nature as a cunning con artist. Noah, however, is deeply concerned. Rachel refuses to turn Anna over to the police in this "Trump's America," oblivious to the gravity of Anna's deception.
Eventually, the real Anna reveals herself, prompting Kacy to orchestrate an intervention. There, they expose Anna's facade, but she insists the money will arrive while evading the crux of the issue. After belittling Rachel as childish and dramatic, Anna flees the scene.
As Vivian arrives to trace Anna's steps, Kacy panics and demands her name be omitted from the article. But this is merely a facade to create drama, as Kacy ultimately decides to keep her quotes, albeit under the alias "The Trainer." As Vivian receives this news, her labor begins, and she's hastily rushed to the hospital, with the entire editorial room erupting in applause. Vivian delivers her baby while her article is simultaneously released to the public, marking a triumphant culmination of her efforts.
