What happened on the show

This season four episode took the format to Barkingham Palace, a dog grooming and daycare business in West Hollywood, California, among the more unusual subjects of the show's post salon expansion. The takeover method carried over to the pet care setting: Coffey embeds in the business, delivers her trademark blunt assessments, restructures the staff, and stages a renovation reveal. Because no synopsis survives for this installment, we do not reconstruct the specific scenes. The documented facts are the format, the season's broader mandate, and the setting, a doggie daycare and grooming facility in West Hollywood taken through the overnight process. Coffey's premise held off the salon floor, that a struggling business reflects its leadership, and that an honest reset was the goal.

After the cameras left

Barkingham Palace has been renamed. A business called Sunset Barquis states that it opened in 2017, originally known as Barkingham Palace, before a brief change in ownership transformed it into The Sunset Barquis. A separate later business reused the Barkingham Palace name elsewhere and appears unrelated, so it was not treated as the same entity. The West Hollywood original to Sunset Barquis lineage is the best supported reading, held at moderate confidence.
