Over at a very lovely Central Park, Jay and his roommate Adam are playing basketball. Adam, of course, has his shirt off. He has one of those weird, sort of defined, super-skinny, sunken chest, upper bodies. Eat a meatball sub, Adam! Geez. Jay talks about going to Olivia's party last week and how he hated it, and so Adam's all, so you're going to stop seeing other people now, and just see Whitney? Because, as we all know, Adam is The One Who Plays By His Own Rules. And probably also The One Who Gets Crabs, Like, All The Time. What is it with me and STDs in this recap?

Hot? Yes. And itchy.

It's night, and over at Philippe, a restaurant in Midtown, Olivia and her nauseating cousin Nevan are discussing Olivia's "work" at DVF. Here's the weird thing. I paused my little MTV online player once, and they were seriously the only people in their section. Then, like 5 seconds later, there are people behind them. Way to go, City editors. They talk about Whitney and "work" and Nevan tells Olivia to show Whitney how things are done around NYC. Olivia thinks they should invite Whitney into her group, and Nevan agrees, especially before she "falls in with that downtown crowd." By which he means, nice, regular, non-pretentious people who have actually worked a day in their lives. Is Nevan the worst excuse for a human being on this show so far? All signs point to yes.

Imagine what that forehead is gonna look like in ten years. It will be the krinkly karma forehead.

Justin Bobby is in NYC! Oh, wait, it's just Jay walking down the street. He really does look all disheveled like Justin in early season 3 of The Hills. I bet he smells better, though. He meets Whitney at a bar where she proceeds to tell Jay about what Alex said. Jay says that he and Danielle met at a club, she pulled him aside to tell him she was going home, and he rode her home in a cab. But he didn't sleep with her. In fact, he's so insistent on the matter that he pulls out his cell phone and offers to call Danielle and ask her about it.

Whitney, of course, is all, you don't have to do that. Either Jay is confident or a very good liar, and if he IS a liar, the whole "I-can-prove-it-by-calling-her-right-now" thing was a genius move on his part, because he knew that Whitney wouldn't let him do it. If it were me, I'd be all, "Okay, if you can prove it, and you're so insistent on it, then prove it. Call that crazy slut." But that's just me. I'm cynical. You can thank someone named Bill for that. Screw you, Bill, you bastard! Whitney says that she's trying to figure out whom to trust and junk. I don't know. Jay seems like an on-the-up guy.

Don't make me call 777-FILM to prove myself, woman.

Over at Bergdorf Goodman, Olivia is going to introduce Whitney to The Manolo (of Manolo Blahnik) because they're "family friends." Barf. Whitney should carry around a bucket so she can be sure to catch every name that Olivia drops. Mr. Manolo is signing shoes, and Olivia tells Whitney about how her first Manolos were for her debutante ball when she was 18. Barf.

Whitney and Olivia run into Samantha, a friend (?) who works for Bergdorf Goodman. Oh! Mr. Manolo is so cute when he's signing Whitney's shoes! Whitney is all, this is my first pair, and Mr. Manolo does a little dance as he says, "Hopefully not your last, ah?!" So. Adorable. Then Olivia proceeds to tell Mr. Manolo (who's a "friend of the family" remember) about her first Manolos for her debutante ball, and there are some AWESOME glances exchanged between Whitney and Samantha while Olivia is yapping away. They're both all, ohmigod, seriously, Olivia? Shut the hell up already.

Wow. What an a hole.

Olivia asks Whitney again about Jay. I think it's interesting that Whitney just tells Olivia that she and Jay have hit a hump, and doesn't embellish. It's almost as if she doesn't trust Olivia. Good instinct, Whit. Also, every time Olivia asks Whitney about Jay, it sounds like she's being forced to be good-natured and genuinely interested against her own will. Sincerity is not really a strong point with this one. Also, she's a little obsessed about Jay. Like I said in the first recap - she'll end up sleeping with him. OR, she will try to seduce him. Mark my words, Gasmii. Mark my words.
