Lipstick Jungle Episode 2.11 Chapter Eighteen: Indecent Exposure

Wendy and Nico help Victory pick the best marketing piece for her new home furnishings line. Wendy shares some of the struggles she and Shane have been having.

Josie brings Natasha Bedingfield by Shane's studio to offer him a position in the band for her upcoming tour. At Nico's apartment, she and Wendy are practicing fertility injections on oranges. Nico is taking the fertility drugs to freeze her eggs in case she wants kids down the road, an insurance policy for the future which Wendy supports.

Victory is conducting a business meeting in a hotel bar when Joe Bennett arrives for a meeting of his own. Victory decides to take the opportunity to approach him and exchange a few words. After asking for some time to see him, Joe suggests she set something up with Ellen, his assistant. Victory, returning to her meeting, is told that the model they'll be using in her campaign is... her... nude... in a bed. She's caught off guard.

Nico and Wendy are calling Victory out on her nudity hang-up. Victory, insisting she doesn't have one, agrees to do to the ad. Nico even suggests Victory hire Kirby to shoot the ad to make her feel more comfortable.

Back at Bonfire, Griffin approaches Nico with resumes for candidates he'd like her to interview for the Head of Bonfire Online Content position (www.bonfiremagazine.com). Kirby pays Nico a visit, filling her in on his interview to shoot Victory's ad. Nico tells Kirby about her fertility treatments. Kirby is taken back by this development, but tries to be supportive.

Shopping together as a family, Shane fills them in on his offer to tour with Natasha Bedingfield. Maddie is thrilled, but Wendy is hesitating based on the length of the tour and suggests they discuss it later. Back at Bonfire, Nico is still working hard, but manages to fit in her next fertility treatment.

Shane returns home after work. He and Wendy discuss the tour offer. Wendy is worried about him being gone for four months, but Shane reminds her that she went off to movie sets for weeks at a time and was gone collectively for longer than that. While they are arguing, Taylor watches them without their knowledge.

The next day, Nico meets with Griffin again about the candidates for Bonfire's online content. Nico complains about being very hot and thirsty and it concerns Griffin a bit. She takes a moment before their meeting officially starts to head to the restroom and administer another fertility treatment, but not before she tells him that she and Kirby have broken up.

Kirby is prepping for Victory's photo shoot. Victory has gone through hair and makeup, but is anxious at the thought of taking her robe off. She starts to have a panic attack. Kirby tries to calm her down and give her the confidence she needs... plus a little liquid courage can't hurt.

Nico passes out at the office. Griffin rushes to her side and has the office call 911. After getting checked out at the hospital, Griffin brings her home and makes sure she is settled and comfortable.

At home, Wendy gets a visit from Josie. She tries to convince Wendy that going on tour is the right thing to do for Shane. Wendy makes it clear that she doesn't want Josie's input.

Kirby wraps the shoot and congratulates Victory on a great job. She's really excited she finally found the confidence she needed... and much more. Wendy and Shane have a meeting with Taylor's teacher about his recent behavioral issues. She suggests that Shane and Wendy address their "new" problems at home.

Nico shares her fertility options with Griffin. She finds comfort in his company and understanding. He tells a story of friends who recently went through the same struggles but now have beautiful and happy twins. Then, after sharing dinner, Nico and Griffin grow a little closer, discussing their personal lives and past relationships.

Wendy tries to talk to Taylor about his behavioral problems at school, trying to understand why. When Shane gets home, Taylor wants him to read his good night stories rather than Wendy. In silence, Wendy and Shane exchange heavy emotion.

Finding her courage, Victory pays Joe a visit and tells him everything. Most importantly, she tells him "I would have said 'yes.'"

The next day, Shane tells Wendy that Taylor is worried they will separate like Finn's parents. Wendy tells Shane that they need to see a marriage counselor because they aren't "fine." At Joe's, Victory has found happiness.

Shane and Josie are watching a cut of the movie he's scoring. Shane decides to take the tour, despite Wendy's hesitation, and tells Josie to call Natasha and give her the news.

Victory shares with Nico and Wendy that it's now her turn to propose to Joe.
