After beginning the intern program, the sisters are soon fired due to careless mishaps. They soon meet Derek Hammond, who re-hires them. They spend the day at Hammonds house, where Leila meets bad boy Ryan, who happens to be Dereks nephew. Leila and Ryan develop a liking for each other. Back at work, the girls are grasping more the concept of being responsible. They become great friends with the other interns. Charli and Paolo develop feelings for each other.

Everyone helps to make new dresses, using Charlies designs, before the big day. In the end, the photoshoot goes well and Tortoni re-hires the interns. Derek arrives with the police to arrest Mr. Tortoni, and it is discovered that Tortoni was always jealous for having everything, the money, and the girl (Jamie).
