The City: The One Where Whitney Indulges In Inappropriate Whining To The Actual DVF

So here we are at the finale of Whitney's first series sojourn to NYC.

She's been backstabbed by Park Ave Princess Olivia, had romance troubles with Jay The Commitment Phobe and had to nod sympathetically to the traumas of LC substitutes Erin and Alli. Can't the poor girl catch a break?

Apparently not. Whitney and Olivia are being pit against each other to see who liaises with the London DVF team. Seeing as Whitney spends most her time moping about and not standing up to Olivia then unless there's some amazing editing in store, it's quite obvious who's going to get that job.

Elsewhere in NYC, Adam decided he needed to visit Erin at work to have a go for 'meddling' in his quite frankly unhealthy relationship with the alien-esque Alli. Erin argued that he shouldn't be chatting up girls in Miami, to which he countered that she should be able to make up her mind about which of her boytoys she wants to go out with. There was much annoyed hair flicking.

Back to Whitney who is moping after Jay dumped her to go on tour and have some, like, space or you know, whatever. But she's whining to Olivia about it. Bitch, please! Do not give her more ammunition to take you down with. And hasn't she already said she doesn't want to know about your life?

So who else could Whitney call to have a proper whinge to but good ol' LC. She questions why she moved there, reveals that she has seen through Olivia's scheming ways and that she misses Jay. LC pulls out some good advice, carefully written for her, and tells Whitney to forget Jay and concentrate on her job. Remeber she missed out on Paris for that loser Jason so she should know what she's talking about!

Oooh Olivia is such a bitch, swanning around schmoozing with the London people and taking all the credit for the ELLE cover. In her future I see gin soaked lunches and a loveless marriage. Though maybe I've watched too many soaps and made for TV movies...

Whitney really should stand up for herself and tell everyone she pulled the Elle cover. Eventually after many sidelong glances and sighs, she decides to have it out with Olivia backstage at the NY Fashion Week show and kinda makes her point but then kinda doesn't. She's so damn wishy washy sometimes.

At the after party, Whitney is doing people's heads (ok, just mine) and moping on her own. And then the grand dame herself, Diane Von Furstenberg, makes an entrance to provide some sage advice to Whitney. DVF is fabulous and tells Whitney to basically MTFU and get over Jay and to love herself first and foremost.

Oh. Unsurprisingly Olivia has sneaked the London job. And then takes great delight in telling Whitney. Who is on her way out of the party to see Jay who has just called to try and grovel his way back.

He's sowwy and wants her back and blah blah blah. He manages some crocodile tears but hurrah! Whitney's finally standing up for herself and enforces DVF's advice to look after herself first. Nice use of Every Heartbeat by Robyn there as Whitney strides back to the party, all new and stand up for herself-y. If only it were to smack Olivia in the mouth...

And so it's all over for Season 1. Thanks to the magic of the interwebs, we know that Whitney and Jay have got back together and that she's left DVF. How on earth will they script that in but more importantly, how fabulous that that means more of Kelly Cutrone!
