Episode Report Card Miss Alli: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT The Tooth Hurts
By Miss Alli | Season 2 | Episode 3 | Aired on 09.22.2004
"I can tell you the real reason," Maria says. She goes on to say that Stacie's behavior during the toy task led them to think that she had multiple personalities. Literally. No, I'm not kidding -- that's what she says. Maria goes on to describe Stacie's antics with the Magic 8-Ball, and she and Elizabeth insist that they've "never seen anything like it." And...they need to get out more. Seriously. Not just in the wackier parts of New York, but in, like, suburban grocery stores. Stacie tries to argue that the entire thing is being blown out of proportion. "I'm not crazy," she says. Trump points out, though, that this is coming from two people who don't like each other. The dumb thing about that observation is that although Maria and Elizabeth don't like each other, they have an obvious reason in this case to put that aside; they have a common interest in this particular situation, and that's getting the blame off of themselves and on to anyone else. Stacie makes a comment about how the 8-Ball said something even though she didn't ask it a question, and...that did sound a little off. Trump asks her if she "believe[s] in that," and she says she doesn't, but Maria immediately points at her, all, "She does, too," and in a sense, Stacie's own comment about the 8-Ball answering when she never asked a question kind of made it feel like she at least concluded that it was noteworthy in some way, which...is unusual thinking. Trump asks who else saw this behavior, and they say everyone did.
At this point, Trump declares that he wants all the women on the team back in the Boardroom, because "this is too important of [sic] a subject." Maria takes off for the suite as fast as her heeled feet will carry her.
Up in the suite, Maria bursts in excitedly and tells the Apexiennes they have to go back to the Boardroom. No one is happy with this news in the slightest, and Maria isn't able to tell them why they're going. Meanwhile, up in the Boardroom, Trump is telling Stacie that if she has "a problem," he doesn't want her to run a company for him. She tells him she understands: "I wouldn't want a crazy person working for me, either."
The women re-enter the Boardroom. Trump tells them that Elizabeth and Maria have reported "disconcerting" behavior from Stacie, and that he wants to hear from the rest of them, even though he makes it clear that he thinks that Elizabeth was a horrible leader and that Maria sucks. But there's bad, and then there's "scares people," and he's trying to get to the bottom of it. Jennifer C. reports that Stacie's behavior was "very odd." Ivana, flying right up the hate list, both ignorantly and bitchily calls the behavior "borderline schizophrenic." Thanks, Doctor Ivana. Ivana claims to have been "scared." Stacy -- pretty much at the very top of the hate list -- says that she is "sad," because she doesn't know if it's "something clinical." And she wants to be "sensitive to that." Bitch. Bitch, bitch, bitch. HATE. She goes on to say, "It was one of the most scary moments of my life." Meaning that she really, genuinely needs to have a few more scary things happen to her, and I would be more than happy to arrange for some at this point. Jennifer M. says that she thought the behavior was strange, but "it was a confined period of time and [she hasn't] seen it since." Trump does not seem so reassured by this. Jennifer M. resists going overboard, but allows that she was "nervous." Sandy -- who is almost too dumb and obvious for me to bother hating very much -- snots that she totally agrees, totally horrified, blah dee blah, fire Stacie, I AM PRETTY!
