Spoiler alert for 'Katy Keene' Season 1

In this episode titled 'Song for a Winter's Night', Katy Keene (Lucy Hale) turns to her boss Gloria Grandbilt (Katherine LaNasa) for help to secure her future as a fashion designer. Tensions rise when roommates Josie McCoy (Ashleigh Murray) and Pepper Smith (Julia Chan) get into a fight while Jorge aka Ginger Lopez (Jonny Beauchamp) breaks Keene's number one rule.

Keene has always remembered her mother for the talent she possessed and after inheriting her sewing machine, she decides to make one of her mother's dreams come true. Keene prepares to go to fashion school. She has started her portfolio and has three amazing outfits to showcase but she needs a push from the upper east side. Yes, we know it's a very 'Gossip Girl' remnant. Already living in a cut-throat city of New York, where a cesspool of dreams die with the fierce competition, Keene asks her boss at Lacy's for help.

A recommendation letter from Gloria could mean Katy's future at a fashion school is secured, but there's one condition, she has to make Gloria's a dress in 24 hours. With the encouragement of her friends and an old interview video of Gloria describing her perfect outfit, Keene decides to sketch out a fit and flare dress for her boss. What she didn't have planned was to make one without her trusty sewing machine.

With Jorge breaking her machine in an attempt to sew a dress for himself, she decides to use the material from his dress to make a dress for Gloria. Of course, there's another obstacle, the interview video has Gloria shunning a fit and flare dress as overrated. If Keene has anything it's a flair for epic outfit designs and her angel mother's blessings. An original Keene outfit was conjured up with four helping hands.
