Katy Keene

Is that too, um... ?

No, it's perfect.

What do you think?

Gloria!

Are you okay, Katy?

You were screaming in your sleep.

- Yeah. - Sorry to barge in,

I'm Kevin, Josie's step-brother.

Right, of course, I...

totally didn't forget you were staying with us.

Girl, were you having a sex dream?

Because you are flushed as hell.

No, I was not

having a sex dream about anyone.

I was having a nightmare that Gloria,

she was chasing me around with this giant Jimmy Choo.

So, Kevin,

any fun plans while you're in town,

other than Josie's big show and your play reading?

Actually, yeah, I was hoping we could catch a matinee

of the "Stepford Wives" musical.

Well, Kevin, so lovely to meet you,

but if I don't get to work on time,

Gloria will actually attack me with a Jimmy Choo. Bye!

My whole career, I've wanted to write my very own memoir.

It'll be on the New York Times Best Sellers list in no time.

And you're wearing one of my pieces

before it even hits the runway.

What's going on? Are you okay?

I'm great. Never better.

What's happening? Why are you whispering? Is it the dress?

- Mm-mm! - Gloria, you look amazing!

I've never seen you so happy!

It's a milestone, Katy. I've worked hard for this.

And what about you?

What are you wearing to my book launch?

Don't forget that as one of my girls, you represent me.

Oh, I'm sure I'll find something.

We have two weeks

till the opening, and we still need the catwalk.

Not to mention, we're $40k over budget.

Well, you know, as soon as we start selling memberships,

we'll recoup that in spades.

Good, because I've been thinking...

Mm-hmm?

I want a cut of the profits. Ten percent.

Didi, I'd never have

gotten this far without you, but...

it'd be such a shame to replace you

with an unpaid intern. Please, just don't force my hand...

Nice house of cards you built.

How many people did you have to swindle to pay for it?

Didi, some privacy, please? Thank you.

Oh. Well!

A bit on the nose, but cute.

What the hell are you doing here?

I'm not allowed to visit my wife?

So, where do you hide your fake passports?

Behind a brick? Under a floorboard?

Am I getting warm?

Why don't you just drop the act

and tell me what you want, would you?

The $30,000 you owe me.

Done.

That was such a good practice, ladies.

We are gonna slay at Molly's!

All right, what's going on?

You guys have been weird all rehearsal.

We just thought... and please, don't be mad...

that since we're a band,

we would all be part of it.

What Cricket is trying, and failing, to say, is that

we just feel like your background props.

Exactly. Maybe we could rearrange the song a little?

So we could all sing?

Okay, just as a reminder,

this is Josie and the Pussycats.

These are my songs.

Now, when we start writing new material,

trust me, you both will be a part of the creative process.

But this is our first show,

I just don't want any surprises.

Sorry, girls, am I interrupting?

You cannot be serious right now.

You want to be in the Pussycats?

Josie, your EP is really good.

And I know we started off on the wrong foot,

but I want to be a part of what you're building.

You're surprised, but you said yourself, I'm a good singer.

Mm, when you ambushed my song.

That was to piss off my step-dad.

He's the one who discouraged me from music,

and now that Alex has cut ties with him, why shouldn't I?

You should, Xandra, but...

I could be a real asset in the group.

Market the hell out of it.

I also happen to love cats.

Okay, Xandra, don't take this to heart, but...

it's just too messy between us.

Too much has happened.

Now, don't choke on your wine, people,

but Xandra asked to be a fourth cat.

- Oh, God. - Oh, no!

Trojan horse, much?

Exactly what I was thinking.

This is my first show here,

and I'm not gonna let Xandra mess with it.

Mm-mm.

I'm so glad that you are finally getting to meet Kevin.

He is...

A prolific playwright with a harrowing origin story.

Not quite prolific.

I teach drama at my hometown high school.

Thanks for hosting my reading.

I'm hoping it'll get me an agent.

- Oh, I'm happy to. - Pepper's the reason

Kiss of the Spider Woman happened.

- Mm-hmm. - And my three-way.

Kevin, what's your play about, my love?

La Bonne Nuit. It's a coming of age noir

set in the small town of Creekdale.

A lot of people die, and also make out.

My favorite combo!

- Hi, what's going on? - Hi.

- Oh, what's this? - You tell us.

It's addressed to a Miss Katy Keene.

"Not using it for the collection after all,

but it's perfect for you.

Wear it to Gloria's book launch.

Guy LaMontagne".

Oh, Katy, are you having an affair?

No!

Girl! Guy is your boss,

and this whole thing with him

is full on 50 Shades of Katy Keene pink!

Oh, he's a designer and she's his muse!

You're Guy LaMontagne's muse?

No, he just fits his dresses on me, that is it.

As someone who's wanted by two men,

I know desire when I see it.

Oh, I don't know. This dress seems mild to me.

I say, if you're not feeling vibes,

there's nothing to stress about, my love.

Well...

I did have a sex dream about him.

Finally!

- I knew it! - I had a three-way!

Okay. Jorge, if I may just say one more thing to Katy's predicament

before we talk about your ménage à trois?

Just say the thing to Katy.

Sex dreams can be a manifestation

of all kinds of desires.

You have chemistry with Guy,

but you also want to be Guy.

These kinds of feelings are very powerful.

You're right, it's just a dream. Hm.

Okay, but what do I do about this very real dress?

I don't want to offend him by not wearing it,

but on the other hand, what message am I sending

if I do wear it?

Jorge, go!

I had a threesome.

- Get out. - You don't say?

It was good!

And I'm not one to obsess, but...

I'm spiraling.

I thought this would make me feel next-level confident,

and instead, I'm feeling

so...

vulnerable.

Well, it's a big thing to do.

Of course there are big emotions attached.

You can always walk it back.

You know, only do what you wanna do.

You're right. I'll talk to Bernardo.

Draw some boundaries.

Meanwhile, I had to draw my own boundaries with Guy.

Good morning.

I'm Loretta Lacy.

And I have the distinct pleasure

of introducing the woman of the hour.

Of course, around these parts,

she's been the woman of the better part of twenty-five years.

Good thing great fashion is timeless.

Wow, right out the gate with an age joke.

I'm obsessed with her.

Please welcome, to read an excerpt from her new book,

Gloria's Golden Rules of Fashion,

Gloria Grandbilt.

I'm nervous.

They say to imagine you all naked,

but I'm imagining you in Calvin Klein.

Much more soothing.

Chapter one,

"Selling the Fantasy".

Fashion is a visual art form,

but often the magic lies in what we don't see.

A Burberry trench coat

with nothing underneath,

that a wife wears to seduce her husband
