A polar vortex is about to hit NYC.
Temperatures are supposed to hit negative 19 degrees in the city.
So what does our youngKaty Keenedo?

Dress appropriately for the weather in pants (or at least tights) and a zipped-up coat?
see to it she and her roommates have enough food in the apartment?
Theres only one thing on Katys mind and thats crafting the perfect outfit for her boss, Gloria.
But the only way Katy can afford to go is with a full scholarship.
Problem is Gloria will only write Katys letter if she can create a gown for her in 24 hours.
to get to sewing.
Speaking of work, Josie is searching the record stores basement with Chubby.
(Smart girl.)
1 priority at the moment.
Jorge, in such a good friend move, whines and complains about Katy putting herself first.
Earlier in the day, Jorges mom had accidentally seen him as Ginger.
Apparently, when he first came out, his parents didnt handle it well.
Katy sympathizes, naturally.
Of course, Pepper swears she didnt do it.
And suddenly Josie isnt buying anything Pepper is selling.
She learns that Pepper isnt living there anymore and she has an overdue bill.
Josie believes it, but I do not.I have seen how this story ends.
Anyway, Katy decides to sketch in the bath … as one does.
She puts on her headphones and ignores Jorge yelling at her from the other room about his dress.
Jorge tries to go to a store 10 blocks away to buy Katy a new sewing machine.
And then she looks at Jorges Aida dress and starts ripping it up to use for parts.
But Katy loves it and joins in.
But the happy mood doesnt last long.
Jorge sees the ripped Aida dress and says, How could you do this to me?
Katy points out that shes sewed him 100 dresses with her own fabric.
She then says, You are a very selfish person, Jorge.
And I may have stood and applauded her.
Katy Keene must be the nicest person ever because she apologizes to Jorge about two seconds later.
She says shes just emotional because shes having a hard time living up to her moms dream.
Without a sewing machine, she enlists all her friends to hand-stitch the dress in an all-nighter.
Years of watchingProject Runwaytells me this dress probably turned out like trash, but Gloria loves it.
Not enough to wear it to the ball but enough to write Katy a letter.
Sebastian just happens to be the name of Xandras cat.
Well, baby steps.
Problem is her sewing machine is permanently broken.
She takes it into Francois to see if its fixable and he declares the time of death.
Oh, and he points out that its a sewing machine that was only made for Lacys employees.
Katy says her mom never worked at Lacys, so her mom must have known someone who worked there.
Is Katy Keene really a Lacy?
Gloria would have a cow.
I would love it.
