Whitney and Sam meet to go shoe shopping and Sam reveals that Bergdorf Goodman is hosting a party for lifeguards that evening.
She invites Whitney to come with her but admits that she would rather Roxy didn't attend after Whitney wonders whether they should ask her.
Before leaving, the girls throw a penny in the store's water fountain and wish for some cute boys at the event.
Over at Elle magazine, Erin meets Joe to discuss a party that is happening that night. He is impressed that it has been mentioned in Page Six and says that he wants to invite Olivia. Erin is unsure but Joe insists that he "really wants her there".
He calls Olivia to his office and explains that Carol Smith, the chief brand officer at Elle, is having an intimate party at her apartment. He thinks it would be a good opportunity to introduce Olivia as a member of the team and for her and Erin to get to know each other outside the office.
At the Bergdorf Goodman event, Whitney tells Sam that she has been invited to a barbecue at Adam and Jay's and, although Jay won't be there, she feels awkward about going. Sam thinks she should go and agrees to accompany her for moral support. She also asks if Roxy was angry about not coming, but Whitney says she was fine because she is on a date with Zac.
Elsewhere, Roxy and Zac arrive at STK in the Meatpacking District. Roxy fills him in on her work life and admits that she doesn't understand why she was not invited to the Bergdorf party. "I just feel like Sammy didn't want me to go and I don't know why," she says.
"It's weird. I feel like she excludes me on purpose. She invites Whitney to all these events knowing I live there and I'm going to hear about and she doesn't ever invite me."
Back at the Bergdorf event, Whitney and Sam spot some "prospects" at the next table who later come over. One guy introduces himself as Harry Fackelmayer and Sam soon realises that she knows his brother Freddie and invites them both to the barbecue.
The next day at People's Revolution, Whitney tells Roxy she feels weird about bringing another man to her ex-boyfriend's apartment. Roxy tells her she shouldn't feel bad, saying: "You need to meet cute boys, it's good, who cares." Kelly arrives and Roxy fills her in on the details. Kelly advises Whitney: "At least make sure you tell him to go pee in the bathroom so a new territory has been marked!"
At the Elle party, Olivia begins networking while Erin looks on. She introduces herself to Robbie Myers, the editor-in-chief, and Philippe Guelton, the EVP of Hachette Filipacchi Media US. Joe is impressed and jokes: "You know everybody, so you have to introduce me!" Erin decides to leave early while Olivia is introduced to yet more designers and editors.
Across town, Whitney and Sam arrive for the barbecue, shortly followed by Harry and Freddie. Whitney and Freddie begin chatting and she later admits to Sam that he is cute, while Freddie separately tells his brother that he thinks Whitney is "cute".
The next day at People's Revolution, Whitney tells Roxy about her evening. They agree that Freddie seems "picture perfect" and Whitney confesses that she thinks Harry is better looking but a bit too young.
She also worries that Sam has a crush on Freddie, but Roxy advises her to forget about Sam and go on a date: "We're not in third grade, if she likes him she should say something, if she doesn't, then sorry!"
At Elle, Erin asks Olivia how she found the party. Olivia says that she had a great time and already knew all the designers that were there. Erin questions why Olivia hasn't proposed any exclusives if she is so well-connected and Olivia replies that she has to follow up with the designers.
"Joe asked me to help you out and guide you and I'm trying to make the best of it," says Erin. "I've been here for four years and I can help you more than I can hurt you. I'm not trying to do this just to put you to task. I would really like you to not have such an attitude with me."
Later that evening, Whitney meets Freddie for a drink in Greenvich Village. They make small talk about their work and families before Whitney asks if there is anything going on between him and Sam. Freddie assures her that he is not interested in Sam and the new couple later leave the bar arm in arm.
