Jane by Design

That's me. Jane Quimby.

My life is a little complicated right now.

I landed my fashion dream job working for her,

Gray Chandler Murray.

The only problem, they think I'm an adult.

Now I am juggling two secret lives,

one in high school and one in high fashion.

Just to be clear. Are you asking me on another fake date?

Signups for the school play have finally begun.

Looks like it's you and me, Fadden.

Cindy and Charming.

Guess so.

Ben, where did that come from?

She's gonna be all fun and charming

and then she's just gonna leave.

I will not let you down.

I would like you to stay.

Forget what I said before.

Ben Quimby is mine, so back off.

Will you marry me, Kate?

Okay. Your flight for Paris leaves in three hours.

And you're all checked in.

our boarding pass is in your itinerary.

And your town car is waiting

outside and that takes care of everything.

Not everything. I've got

some major damage control to do with Donovan

after the Jeremy-Harrods debacle.

And with Eli trying to revamp the collection,

there's something important

I need you to handle while I'm away.

Of course.

Is it here?

Not until tomorrow.

But it's officially on its way. - Good.

Donovan is good friends with Nina Garcia.

Nina Garcia of Project Runway.

Fashion director at Marie Claire!

Yes. Yes. As I was saying,

Donovan is designing a one-of-a-kind dress for Nina

which is arriving tomorrow.

But Nina hasn't bought off the rack

since a "Who Wore It Best" Debacle back in 2002.

And Nina wore it best, of course, right?

Obviously.

But a close call is a close call.

And now she's afraid to be caught dead

wearing the same dress as someone else ever again.

Nina has an important event tomorrow night.

I need you to make sure that she gets that dress.

No screw ups, understood?

Yes. Thank you.

Get the dress. No screw ups. I can do it.

Have a safe flight, Gray.

You look like someone who doesn't have plans tomorrow night.

That's kind of insulting.

Yeah, that came out wrong. Sorry. Uh...

You're forgiven. And also correct. I do not have plans.

Well, would you like to?

Because I just made dinner reservations for our first date.

You did?

Yeah, I figured Gray's out of town

So why not take a chance.

What do you say?

A risk taker. I like it. I'm in.

Good.

Oh, and, uh, wear something nice.

Again, kind of insulting.

Sorry. You always look nice.

It's just that we're going to Le Petit Bordelais.

Wow. That's fancy.

How'd you get us in there?

I'm a very important person. - Oh.

And my buddy works in the kitchen.

Sounds like fun.

It's about time.

Janey?

I'm in here.

Hurry up. We got to go.

So, what do you think?

You look amazing.

Really? - Yeah.

New dress?

Yes, I have been working on it for weeks.

And now I finally have the perfect place to wear it.

It's a little fancy for the halls of Whitemarsh High,

don't you think?

No, silly. I...

I have a date tonight.

Oh. So that...

That Eli guy must have finally asked you out then, huh?

And he's taking me to, like,

one of the fanciest restaurants in New York. So...

I just really hope he likes it.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that he will.

Can you help unhook me?

Oh. Yeah.

By the way...

Why is Ben sleeping on the couch?

Oh, well, ever since Dakota proposed to my mom,

he's been camped out here waiting for an answer

and they've taken over Ben's room in the meantime.

Do you think she's gonna say yes?

She said she'll think about it.

Ouch. That's got to hurt.

I mean, things must be pretty icy between them right now, huh?

Oh! Morning, darlings!

How long is this gonna go on?

Probably until he gets an answer.

Seriously?

Do you mind if Dakota and I take a shower before you, honey?

Only if you promise to stop talking about it.

You should probably get ready for school.

I can't go into my room.

Better you than me. See you later.

Hey. Can I show you something?

I'm kind of busy.

I'm not.

I framed my yearbook photo for Ben,

and I just wanted your thoughts.

Be honest.

And I got your yearbook photo framed for him, too.

Why would you do that?

Oh, just so he knows what he's getting,

and what he's dodging.

No offense.

Look. This whole competing for a guy thing between us,

it's all getting a bit high school.

Well, duh. We're in high school, Jaw.

You're right.

We are. And just like back in high school,

you win! Congratulations, Amanda.

So, Ben is...

All yours, Amanda.

I knew that it was only a matter of time,

but I have to say that your concession

is both honorable and really humbling.

Guess I don't need this now, right?

Here you go. I'll just leave it there.

Little memento for you.

Should I even ask?

That's completely up to you.

Okay. What is with the yoga ball?

Our couch is destroying my spine.

I'm sorry they took your bed.

Hopefully it'll be over soon.

She just has to give him an answer.

Then we'll be done with it.

What do you mean?

I mean, if she says no, then he'll leave.

If she says yes, then they'll both leave.

Win-win. Either way, I get my bed back.

Do you think she'll say yes?

I don't know.

Ben, I don't want her to leave.

I don't want her to disappear again.

I don't want her to disappear again either.

I thought you wanted her to go.

I do. And then I don't.

I'm confused. - I guess...

It's easier to push someone away first

before they can push you away.

Keeping Mom at arm's length, that's my way of

protecting you.

And myself.

So you think she's gonna leave?

Actually, I don't.

I got to be honest,

I'm starting to think

things might be different this time.

She seems better.

Really?

Really.

What?

I just cannot get used to you volunteering for the drama club.

Well, then that makes two of us.

But Zoe said it would give us more time to hang out.

And how's that working out?

Honestly, I kind of feel like a stalker.

What about you? How are the costumes coming along?

Well, funny enough, my mom signed us up

So that we could spend more time together.

And how's that one working out for you?

Well, she usually sleeps in late, rolls in about 11.

And I have to leave for work at 11:30.

But that half hour is really something.

All right, so what's the deal with the dress?

I had to bring it to school

because I don't have enough time to go home

and change after work before my date.

Would you look at that?

At what?

Hot and hotter.

It's nothing. - Nothing? Please.

Oh, here we go, guys.

Just wait for it.

Here it comes.

Now that is a kiss.

Oh, my gosh. You can't fake chemistry like that.

It's just acting. - Trust me.
