Last we left the People's Revolution crew the seating list was causing major drama as the print out of the list just wasn't accurate thanks to a computer glitch. The fashion show goes on without a hitch but Rado Ralph Rucci's camp is unhappy because- in a nutshell- everyone just can't sit in the front row and he didn't get the cover of WWD. In the end Kelly gets fired. Although she's upset because Rucci is a huge client life goes on and so does fashion week.
The crew moves on to one of her favorite clients, Genetic denim. Ali, the owner of Genetic is showing his jean line in fashion week for the first time, so it's extremely important that things go well. Stephanie Skinner in still reeling from the Rucci show seating mess and is way overdue for some tlc. She enlists David (lispy, lips) a former hairstylist to cut and color her hair. Her roots and face need a pick me up stat! While getting pampered Stephanie V. calls her about a stamp debacle that's going on back at the office. Stephanie V puts 61 cent stamps on the genetic denim invites. Emily explains to her that the envelopes just needed the standard 41 cent stamp, and Steph V says that no one told her how to put the stamps on an envelope- SERIOUSLY! Steph V your future looks bleak!
The thing I really appreciate about this show is that it's the truth and nothing but the truth. It's a true representation of the workplace- the good, bad and the ugly. And the ugly can get very UGLY! The interns are given the task of making gift bags for the Genetic show and fail miserably by throwing jeans into the bag with no tissue paper and using Sharpie's to label the bags. Stephanie V is in charge of the interns and they have no problem rightfully, throwing her under the bus. Kelly flips when she sees this mess and says that they have no common sense- which is true. In life, you will not make it without commonsense. Kelly kicks the interns out of the office for an 1/2hr to give them a chance to think about their what they did wrong. She also suggests that the idea of interns is ridiculous and that if you come into People's Revolution with the desire to learn you should pay her 10 grand to do so. She's right.
Meanwhile the Genetic Denim show is coming together without a hitch. She goes with the designer to see the space where the fashion show will take place and is excited about what he's set-up. The day of the Genetic presentation, where the models basically stand like mannequins for 3 hours, a model passes out and the fire department and ambulance arrive to assist the downed model. Kelly asks the firemen to move the side and the ambulance truck outside to please turn the lights off so that the window display from the outside isn't ruined. They comply and the entire incident is taken care of in 5-7mins. The model was fine and the show was a success. Ali was very happy and the show was well received by the press.
Back at the office Kelly talks to the lead intern Tim and explains to him why she was disappointed in him - he's from Ireland and didn't really know what he was in store for him when he took this internship. He calls his mother to check in with her and Kelly asks to speak with her. She assures his mom that he's fine and that's he's doing a great job. The mother is grateful to Kelly and can't thank her enough for taking care of her son and giving him the opportunity (clearly there is some behind the scenes nepotisim going on that we don't know anything about- no judging, just saying). She even refers to Kelly as sweet- which makes her really laugh.
Skinner is still working like and dog and Vorhees can't figure out what to do without being directed and she actually says as much. Andrew actually makes a great assesment about Vorhees; she's the type of girl that has never had to work for anything. She's gotten by this far in life by her looks and bubbly personality.Clearly, none of these traits are helping her in the real world.
Vorhees ends the episode whining to Kelly about being overwhelmed but being determined to get through it.
Let the countdown begin on Stephanie V's exit...
