Jay Goes On Tour - The City Recap

null

Whitters, I'm proud of you - sorta.

This week on The City, Whitney shows a little strength and attempts to thwart the evil forces that try and bring her down - Jay and Olivia. She's almost successful, but in the end loses the battle against Jay. What went down? Let's take a look.

We open with Whit and Liv hard at work at DVF headquarters, and guess what? Fashion Week has arrived. The two are paired up to deliver a big presentation on the importance of handbags to the international PR team. Whit is nervous, Liv is cool as a cucumber. Who will prevail? Well, when the two get together to discuss the presentation, Liv is so distracted by her digital camera ("OMG, doesn't this bag photograph so well?") that she can't be bothered to prepare any talking points. Bad decision. By the time the meeting rolls around, Whit delivers a flawless speech and we totally buy into her anti-burden handbag schtick. Now it's Liv's turn: the girl can barely stammer out the words "python bag." And in front of Ms. Diane herself. The horror. Point for Whit!

While Whit may be excelling at work, her love life is in shambles. Over dinner, Jay drops a bomb: he's about to go on tour for two months, which he's known since before Miami and chosen not to share with Whitney. Whit takes the news surprisingly well and calmly voices her anger at the situation. Jay immediately turns into a hysterical teenager and his voice raises two octaves. Why so defensive Jay? Because he's a liar and a cheater. In a rare move, Whitney gets up from the table, calmly informs Jay he needs to find someplace else to stay for the night, and walks out. YES! FINALLY.

Sadly, my excitement is short lived. Whit invites Jay over for one last discussion before he leaves town. And it's so disappointing - Whit wants to try and make things work. Hasn't she had enough? This guy is a LOSER. And he looks like he smells bad. Amidst a lot of crying (Jay) and whining (Whit), Jay decides it's over and walks out without so much as a hug goodbye. I say good riddance, but I feel for Whit. She was obviously hung up on him.

Next week, Whit calls Lauren for advice. What will LC have to say? We'll have to wait and see...
