Then, the three are forced into a picture together. Later, the night before grace and Emmas flight on a long-anticipated trip to Paris. Grace's mother, Pam Bennett-Kelly (Andie Macdowell) and stepfather, Robert Kelly (Brett Cullen) worried about Grace's safety tell the trio that they have upgraded their flight to first class and have purchased Meg a ticket as well. Meg obviously doesn't want to go and grace feels as if she is being punished, after a discussion with her father who says its what megs deceased mother would want , Meg grudgingly accept to take the trip. Emma leaves after diner and meets with her boyfriend (Cory Monteith) Emma is saying how excited she is for Paris when Owen spout out a proposal, Emma is at first excited then miffed when she finds out there is no ring and that Owen is just trying to make her stay in Texas. Emma leaves the car and both Owen and her agree to go their separate ways. At first, the trip turns out to be a big disappointment they are staying in a hostel that is very crowded with an unappealing view of a man in a bath. The girls also feel that they aren't really seeing Paris. They are being constantly rushed in and out of main tourist attractions (though one perk of this tour is that Meg keeps bumping into an Australian tourist named Riley (Luke Bracey) and they seem to be attracted to each other). While visiting the Eiffel Tower, Grace realizes the tour bus has left without them. Annoyed, the three girls begin to walk to the hostel they're staying at, but it starts to rain heavily. As they duck into the lobby of a luxury hotel photographers start taking graces picture though the trio pays no attention to this as they rush to the hotels restroom, while in the bathroom Grace is inside a cubicle so she is unaware, of a girl who seems to be Grace's doppelgänger walks into the restroom while Emma and meg are cleaning up. The girl is a spoiled British heiress named Cordelia Winthrop Scott (also played by Selena Gomez). Once, she leaves, Meg and Emma are in shock when Grace comes out of the cubicle, they inform her of her incredible likeness to Cordelia. Grace doesn't believe that anyone could look exactly like her and doesn't quite believe them. But when the girls walk back out into the lobby again, the staff mistakes Grace for Cordelia, and this case of mistaken identity takes the girls on a whirlwind trip around France that they never could have imagined.
