The episode begins just the way you would expect it to: with shoes! Glorious, glorious shoes. Girls like shoes. As the women strut their way through the city, a newscast tells us everything we need to know about these women. According to Wall Street Magazine, each of them ranks in the top 50 of most powerful women in New York, with the woman who rolls Donald Trump off Melania every morning and coifs his hair once again landing at number 51. Brooke Shield's character, Wendy Healy, a high-powered movie studio executive, ranks number 12 on the list after her coup of getting Justin Guarini back for From Justin to Kelly 2: The Reckoning. Kim Raver's character Nico Riley moves up on the list to 25 after realizing that the magazine where she is Editor-in-Chief, Bonfire, is actually just Vanity Fair with a slightly different name. At the bottom of the list is Lindsay Price's character, Victory Ford, who took quite a beating after her latest fashion show disaster where she designed a series of swimsuits for lady wrestlers. Poor, stupid Victory. Only number 50 out of the 10 million women in New York. She should just kill herself now.

Those shoes are awesome. These shoes cost $500. Let's get 'em!

Wendy and Nico show up at Fashion Week in Bryant Park to witness their best gal-pal's comeback, but more importantly to watch their friend fail miserably. Victory's show begins and models strut down the runway wearing clothes that even Santino on heroin.....er more heroin, wouldn't design. Wendy and Nico "oo" and "ah" at the clothes as Vicotory is showered in slow-motion confetti, but the reviews the next day are not kind.

It's a great line, if you're designing for Bjork.

It's yet another disaster for Victory so she joins her lady friends for cocktails and chocolate. Chicks dig liquor and sugar. Wendy advises Victory to lay low and immerse herself in a world of daytime courtroom shows and dove bars until the bad press blows over. Nico, the in-your-face-I-am-woman-hear-me-purr type dismisses Wendy's advice and tells Victory to face the adversity head on the way Hilary would if a scary black man was verbally abusing her. Nico tells Victory that all women are strong and resilient and have the ability to be just as strong as.....blah blah, something, something. I'm really not interested in what a woman has to say unless there's some kind of pie involved.

The next morning Wendy is roused from a beautiful dream of her half-hour sitcom days when she could just rely on Kathy Griffen to carry the show. Her boss Hector is on the phone informing Wendy that Dreamworks is also planning a Galileo project, just like the time there were two volcano movies in production at the same time, or when there were two asteroid movies in production at the same time. Obviously Galileo is going to be the natural disaster action flick this summer. Hector informs Wendy that Dreamworks has scooped Leonardo DiCaprio as the lead for their movie in hopes of adding to the natural disaster element they were trying to achieve. While Wendy rambles on in her nighty about business; her kids, cat and husband all start scurrying about leaving a trail of cheerios, hairballs and British sex appeal in their wake.

"Honey, you're right. According to Wikipedia you're supposed to do it front to back."
