Welcome to The City! Whitney Port, who we've all come to know and love as Lauren's co-worker and friend on The Hills, has decided to leave her California life behind and risk it all for a new career opportunity in New York working for the fashion house of Diane von Furstenberg. Whitney has one old friend, Erin, waiting for her in Manhattan, and a whole host of new people she's getting to know. Although the coast-swapping move is professionally driven, Whitney's excited to for the chance to spend time getting to know Jay, the Australian singer/guitarist she met during an earlier trip east while working for People's Revolution. Erin and Jay, along with his roommate Adam, round out her "downtown" circle of friends; Olivia, a self-described "social," is a new colleague at DvF and invites Whitney into her "uptown" world. Arriving at the Diane von Furstenberg offices in Manhattan's Meatpacking District, Whitney is ready for her first day on the job. She's given a quick tour of the office and meets Olivia for the first time. Olivia is quick to grill her about who she knows in New York, as well as about her budding romance with Jay. Olivia also tells Whitney about a dinner party she's planning to throw at her apartment, but it's just small talk so far, and she doesn't offer an invitation. Back at her temporary home in Erin's apartment in the city's Gramercy section, Whitney gives Erin the scoop on her first day at DvF and her experience meeting Olivia. When Erin mentions that she knows Olivia, the city suddenly begins to seem like a pretty small world. The conversation then segues into Whitney's date with Jay that evening. Whitney arrives at Nero to find Jay waiting for her on the patio. They toast her first day at DvF and Jay offers to be Whitney's personal tour guide of the city. They flirt, giggle and touch ... and it isn't long before they're calling for the check. The next morning, Whitney recaps her date for Erin. She admits to going to Jay's place afte

After getting the go-ahead from Kelly, Whitney and Roxy fly down to Miami to get everything ready for the Gen Art Fresh Faces in Fashion show. Whitney quickly sizes up the competition (one of the other designers worked at Vogue!), but Roxy refuses to feel intimidated. "You worked at Teen Vogue!" she points out, reassuringly. Although Whit warns this could be "competitive," Roxy encourages her friend to embrace the challenge. This is a chance to separate ourselves from Kelly, she tells Whitney.

Score an exclusive interview with Zac Posen at the premiere party of his new Target collection. Olivia promises to get the goods this time (after all, she and Zac are friends!) but not before Joe reminds her what's at stake: "You gotta deliver if you wanna keep your job," he warns. Otherwise, Louise Roe (Erin's impressive new find) is ready to "take your place." Over in Miami, Whitney and Roxy (and the other Gen Art designers) gather at the Catalina Hotel for a model casting.

Whitney chooses Erica, a pretty brunette, to represent her line, but then spies another designer trying to move in on her model!

Later that night, Olivia, Joe and Erin attend the Zac Posen Target Collection Party at the New Yorker Hotel. While Joe stresses about the interview, Olivia mingles with the crowd, posing for photographers and socializing with fellow guests. Fortunately, she knows how to mix business with pleasure.

Season 1 - Episode 2 - Aired 12/29/2008
Whitney meets for lunch with Alex, a model who she had previously gone on a date with during one of her trips east with People's Revolution. Hills fans will remember that the second time she saw Alex, after a fashion show they worked together before her move, she blew him off for Jay, who she's been with ever since. Whitney apologizes to Alex for leaving him that night and tells him that she's been seeing Jay. Alex admits that while he was a bit hurt, that's not why he's invited Whitney out for lunch. He goes on to tell her that his roommate is friends with Jay's ex-girlfriend, Danielle. According to what Alex has heard, Jay recently told Danielle that he wasn't seeing Whitney anymore and that the exes spent the night together. Whitney is visibly upset by the story, but tells Alex that she has to decide who she's going to trust. Back at Erin's apartment, Whitney recaps what Alex told her. She tells Erin that the story made her heart sink to her stomach and that she isn't sure who to trust. Whitney decides she's going to talk to Jay about it and let him know that she may be new to the city, but that she's not that naïve. While playing basketball in Central Park, Adam asks Jay whether he plans to stop seeing other people as things get more serious with Whitney. They discuss timing for such a conversation and agree that neither would want to be the one in the relationship to bring it up. When Olivia goes out to dinner with her cousin, Nevan, they discuss Whitney, who Nevan advises Olivia to take her under her wing.

Whitney meets up with Jay at Café Noir to discuss the story he heard from Alex at lunch. Jay explains his side of the story: Danielle approached him to talk and that he got a cab home for her, not that he went home with her. He swears to Whitney that he's telling the truth and even offers to call Danielle to confir

Whitney also questions her relationship with Jay -- she wants to trust him, but is finding it difficult. Whitney and Olivia help out with the styling at a Diane von Furstenberg photo shoot. While on the job, Whitney gets a call from Jay about an apartment he wants her to see immediately. She tells Olivia she wants to check out the place, but doesn't want to leave the shoot.
