The Runway

Gray is delighted with Jane's last minute action and entrusts her with preparing a crucial presentation. She accepts, although that's way above her head. Luckily British star designer Jeremy volunteers to help and works his magic. Meanwhile being invited to her school's formal dance by popular socialite hunk Nick Fadden, whom his country club caddy Billy mistrusts without due grounds, is irresistible, even on the same night. So she plans, with Billy's help, to shuttle between the venues in different outfits, but misses a change, with a surprise result.

S1 • E3

The Birkin

Jealous India warns Jane not to believe herself a success as Gray hands her a prestigious purse as reward for a single presentation success, it can be taken away just as easily. That looks likely when Jane must organize an exclusive presentation for prime clients at Gray's home and India arranges for the guest to bring their friends, but Billy gets the better on the horde. At school, spoiled-rotten bitch Lulu, who craves only pleasing her impossibly ambitious parents, competes ruthlessly to beat Jane and become valedictorian. Billy wouldn't take her back even now she offers to acknowledge him publicly, but caves in when Jane begs him to help appease her rival.

S1 • E4
