Synopsis. GFE is five days in the life of an ultra high-end Manhattan call girl who thinks she has her life totally under control. She feels her future is secure because she runs her own business her own way, makes $2,000 an hour, and has a devoted boyfriend who accepts her lifestyle.

The term girlfriend effect or girlfriend air refers to an alleged phenomenon during which a person becomes more fashionable and attractive after they get a girlfriend. The term girlfriend effect is nearly always used to refer to men, but it is also sometimes used to refer to women who get girlfriends as well.

And so the finale ends with Christine alone in the hotel room. Derrick has already left. Gordon is nowhere to be found. She's masturbating alone, unable to get off, surrounded by all the trappings of what sex and beauty have brought: money, control, and very little satisfaction.

David receives an email (sent from Christine's account) of her and Jack having sex, potentially exposing her as an escort. The video of Christine has been emailed to the entire office as well as to her family. David calls Christine into his office to discuss what has happened. She insists she didn't send the video.
