Lipstick Jungle Episode 2.07 Chapter Fourteen: Let the Games Begin

Victory is signing paperwork with Ellen while Nico is shopping for a dress to wear when meeting Kirby's mom later that night. Victory fills Nico in on the demise of her relationship with Rodrigo and that it was simply her excitement at the runway show that made her kiss him.

Wendy is working on script notes when Shane walks in, letting her know that he just met with a manager, Josie Scato. When Wendy suggests signing with her, Shane tells her he already did.

Nico and Kirby are making dinner in her kitchen, waiting for his mother to arrive. When she does, Nico is shocked to see how similar they actually are. Tina asks Nico and Kirby where they like to go out clubbing, rebuffing Nico's offer to see an exhibit at a gallery. Nico, terribly uncomfortable, tries her best to put on a smile.

Shane and Wendy are at dinner with his new manager Josie Scato. Josie, very flirtatious, makes Wendy uncomfortable. During the dinner, Josie and the film's director decide to hire Wendy as a producer on the movie. Meanwhile, Nico watches Tina enjoying the champagne ice cubes, hoping that Kirby comes to rescue her.

Shane lets Wendy know that he is uncomfortable with her decision to produce the movie. Wendy decides to step aside and not do it. Ellen fills Joe in the on business items and then decides to give her opinion on his situation with Victory. After dinner with Tina, Nico is distant with Kirby.

Nico, Wendy and Victory are in the Bonfire offices discussing the preparations for the Sports Magazine "Hang Time" launch party. Then, Nico fills both of them in on dinner with Tina. Nico is worried that Kirby is subconsciously dating his mother. Victory is concerned that she won't be able to persuade the tennis star at Nico's party to let her design a line without Joe's help.

Back home, Wendy arrives to find Shane working with Josie. Taylor walks in and asks if he can spend time with his friend Finn, so Wendy asks Shane to call Dennis. Nico pays Joe a visit since he won't return her phone calls. She corners him to ask for his help in landing Victory the tennis client.

Dennis, with his son Finn, stops by to pick up Taylor from Wendy and Shane's. Wendy and Dennis have an awkward exchange. Dennis brought Wendy some wine as an apology gift for the kiss on Halloween, telling Shane it was for her help with the boys' costumes. Wendy never told Shane about the kiss.

At Nico's launch party for Hang Time, Wendy mistakes Tina for Nico, stunned by the similarities. Nico introduces them. On the dance floor, Wendy and Shane talk about Dennis and his split with his wife. Then, Wendy changes the subject. Shane tells her that he played his score for Josie before letting her listen to it, which upsets Wendy.

Tina has an uncomfortable conversation with Nico where she oversteps her boundaries, and when Kirby interrupts them, Nico decides to ask Kirby to move in with her. At the party, Victory is still hoping that Joe will show up. While Nico is giving a speech, Tina tells Kirby that's she's concerned Nico is driving their relationship. As Victory is learning to putt on the mini putting green, Joe walks into the party.

Victory grabs Joe just as he turns around and starts to walk away. They go up to meet with Anna the tennis player. With Joe at her side, Victory tries to explain her concept. Joe decides to sit back and watch her tank the meeting. Upstairs at the party, Wendy tells Shane she's quit the movie. And then she tells him that Dennis kissed her. Shane leaves upset.

After the party, back at Nico's, Kirby tells her that he's not moving in to her apartment. He is upset by how she brought it up, and feels like a pawn that his mother and she are pushing around. He puts her on the spot and asks what would have happened if Charles hadn't died.

After a tough night, Shane and Wendy reaffirm their love for each other. Shane lets her know that she is the only one for him! And that he's not interested in Josie at all.

Ellen pays Victory a late-night visit. She lets it slip that Joe bought a ring to propose, sending Victory into tears.
