The City, Season Two, Episode 18

I feel so differently about The City now that I know about Roxy. Her name is Roxy Olin. I just discovered that she's Ken Olin and Patricia Wettig's daughter. They were on Thirtysomething together and now he's the executive producer of Brothers and Sisters. He's also on the show and so is Patricia Wettig. She plays "Holly" and he plays "David", her ex boyfriend/current boyfriend. It turns out Roxy is their daughter in "real" life and she ALSO has a role on Brothers and Sisters. She's going to be the surrogate for Scotty and Kevin's baby. Apparently she was filming Brothers and Sisters while shooting The City, but they didn't include that storyline. She's really passionate about fashion so they just focused on that. Weird!

Ok, let's begin.

People's Revolution. There's a staff meeting and Kelly Cutrone wants to discuss the Longchamp event at Elle and she wants Roxy and Whit to handle it. Kelly tells them that the Director of PR at Elle and Olivia will be meeting them and Roxy and Whit try to not to roll their eyes. Kelly tells them to do a good job. Whit tells Roxy that Jay (the ex-bf) has been calling and texting her. She admits to Roxy that she "booty called" him before he went on tour. Roxy is fake-pissed that Whit didn't tell her about it. Whit says it's because "She hit it and then she quit it." Roxy laughs. Whit feels like she should meet Jay and explain what's going on. Roxy disagrees. She think Whit should just move on with the new boy.

Opening Credits.

"Hit It and Quit It"

Elle Magazine. Erin is on the phone. She gets off and asks Olivia if she is ready to help with the Longchamp event. Olivia says she doesn't know much about it and asks Erin to explain it. Erin says that Elle is supporting the Kipton Art Foundation and - Olivia interrupts to tell Erin that Kipton is a very good friend of hers. STFU, Olivia. No one cares!!!! SO obnoxious. Erin continues that People's Revolution is representing Longchamp and Elle is going to do a walk-thru with them tomorrow. Olivia says that her former colleague from DVF (WHIT!) will probably be there. Erin tells Olivia that a photographer will be there and that it's her job to walk him around and make sure he gets awesome pics. Like a cocktail party.

Yoga Works, Soho. Whit and Sami are doing yoga and Whit tells her that Jay has been calling her because he found out that she brought Freddie to his apartment. Sami says "who cares?" Exactly!! NO ONE! Busted...by the yoga instructor. HAHA. Namaste. So now Whit says that she has to talk to Jay. Sami tries to talk her out of it. Whit is looking for someone to tell her that it's ok for her to meet up with Jay. Dumb. Then Sami asks her if she's going to see Freddie again and Whit asks Sami if she's ok with that. Sami says she's totally fine with it.

Valbella, Meatpacking District. Whit has a date with Freddie. HOLY CRAP! He brought his dad, Fridolin Fackelmayer (no f'ing way. Can you imagine growing up with the name Fridolin Fackelmayer? Good Lord!). Whit has no idea his dad is going to be there. Wow, he called Whitney his girlfriend. He looks cuter than he did last time. Whit shows up and says hello. Whit started to ask Fridolin questions. He had very short answers. Fridolin is kind of an ass. He asks Whit what she does and she tells him that she's designing her own clothing line. Fridolin asks how she raises money to do that and she says that she needs investors. He kind of laughs at how ridiculous it is to expect people to invest in a clothing line. Freddie interrupts and says how very proud he is of Whit and that he thinks it's awesome. Fridolin laughs at his son. I think he's foreign...maybe German or something. He excuses himself because his car has arrived. Wow. That was...awkward. Whit tells him that it was a little soon to be meeting his dad. I think Freddie is a little embarassed.

Longchamp Store. Olivia arrives with Erin. Whitney asks Erin what the layout will be. Erin explains the set up and tells them that this is going to support the Kipton Art Foundation. Roxy asks who Kipton is. Erin tells her that he started this foundation to support emerging artists about two years ago. Olivia pipes in that it was longer, like 4 years ago. You know, because she and Kipton are Bffs. Dumb. Roxy asks Erin to assign them specific jobs. So she tells Roxy that she should supervise the photographer and that Olivia can help since she'll know most of the guests. Roxy clarifies that Erin is who they go to if they have any questions. Erin says yes and then Olivia says "And me." Erin laughs and says "Oh yeah, and Olivia, too." Erin thanks them for their help.

Whitney's Apartment. Roxy is teaching Whitney the "All the Single Ladies" dance. They are funny. They are getting ready for the Longchamp event. Whit is telling Roxy about the surprise meeting of Freddie's dad. Roxy asks if he was a good looking older man. Whit says he was fine and Roxy says "He was busted." I guess that's the new "tore up from the floor up." Whit says that dinner was good but she kept thinking about when she met Jay's mom. Apparently Jay's mom sold sex toys for a living. Wow. Really? Roxy's response "Holla!" She's all hip with the lingo isn't she? I guess Freddie is an uptown, socialite sort of person and, SURPRISE, he knows Olivia. Roxy asks if Freddie is a socialite and if there's such a thing as a male socialite. Hmmm.

Kipton Art Foundation Benefit. Kipton Cronkite (Any relation to Walter Cronkite?? NO. His real name isn't even Cronkite, but he's been lying telling people he's a "distant relative" of Walter Cronkite. SHADY!) is thanking everyone for coming and showing their support. Freddie walks in and Olivia immediately greets him. Whit sees him and wants to take Roxy over to meet him. Kelly stops them and tells them to wait for him to come to them! Have I mentioned how much I love Kelly Cutrone?? Freddie is just standing around so it gets awkward and Whit and Roxy go over to him. He's very sweet. He just looks so orange. Easy on the self tanner, Freddie. He says he's heard a lot about Roxy and Roxy says she's heard a lot about him and his DAD! Oh snap! She excuses herself to do work and Whit tells him he looks good. He apologizes for springing his dad - Fridolin - on her and says he'll make it up to her. I don't think it would be such a big deal if his dad wasn't such an ass. Kelly asks Erin how long she's been working at Elle. Erin tells her 4 years. Kelly is telling Erin how she used to be a publicist for Spin Magazine and then she quit and started her own company at 22 years of age. She didn't want to represent people she didn't believe in and when you work for someone else, you have to represent who they tell you to represent and she did not want that. AMEN SISTER! Olivia walks by with Roxy and they are looking for the photographer. They found him and Olivia does the intro with Roxy. Olivia leaves her with the photographer. Then Roxy walks over to Erin and says "I just never knew it could be that hard for a person to help me take some pictures." Erin says "Olivia?" Of course, it's Olivia. Again, you all know I don't like Olivia but this is so unprofessional. Roxy is basically whining to Erin about Olivia and Erin is telling Roxy that Olivia is impossible. Meanwhile Olivia is hanging out with her friends.

Whitney's Apartment. Roxy says that Olivia is a nightmare. Roxy says that something about Freddie really bothers her. Whit says that he grew up with Olivia and they have a lot of the same friends. Roxy is surprised that Olivia has friends. Whit tells Roxy that she's going to get drinks with Jay tonight. Roxy correctly asks WHY?? Whit says she feels like she owes it to him. She's dumb. Roxy tells her to look hot.

Elle Magazine. Erin asks Olivia what happened with the photographer and Roxy. Olivia tells Erin that she introduced Roxy to the photographer and explained to Roxy that she's not in PR and it's not her job to tell her how to take pictures. Olivia says that she knew the photographer so she's confident he did a good job. Erin says it doesn't make Elle look good. And Olivia says that Roxy works for a PR company so it's her job. Erin says that the people at the benefit were part of Olivia's world and they were her socialite friends and Olivia really could've used that to her benefit. Olivia starts laughing and says "Come on. Really?" Erin says that Olivia didn't have to be rude and that Roxy thought she was rude. Olivia laughs and says "Well, that's her problem." Bitch.

Paris Commune, West Village. Whit meets Jay for drinks. They small talk about her clothes line and his tour. Jay brings up Freddie coming to his house with Whit. He asks if she was seeing him the last time she hooked up with Jay. She says no, that she met him after Jay was gone on tour. Then she apologizes for bringing him to Jay's apartment. Jay's more upset that he's some Wall Street guy who hangs out with Olivia Palermo. Whit says she doesn't have to justify what he is to Jay. Go Whit! Jay says that he's just worried because Freddie's not a good guy. Whit tells him that if Freddie wasn't good to her she wouldn't be dating him. Jay says that he thinks "that one is going to bite you in the ass". Whit tells him that it's her life. Jay looks disappointed and tells her that he hopes she made the right choice and leaves. Whit is sad.

See you next time.
