John is working on some remote control high heels. The remote causes the heel to rise and fall. Nelle walks in with her hair down. She's wearing a Pop Art parka that is one of those optical illusions where it looks like black squares on a white background when you look at it with one side of your brain, and looks like shit when you use the other. She sees the shoes and asks what he's doing with them. John stammers long enough for Nelle to freak out that he's got a shoe fetish. Her "freak out" look is so scary -- eyes wide, arms stuck at sides under the puke-a, eyebrows fiercely drawn, nose severely upset -- that I start worrying that a house will fall on her. He says he doesn't have a fetish. She brings up the spanking again, which I think makes that officially EVERY EPISODE this year. Let. It. Go. Don't these two ever talk about anything else? I mean, Nelle hates him for a new reason each and every week. You think she'd bring up some other points besides the time he was trying to live out a fantasy for her. She asks whom the shoes are for. He says they are for her. His finger is in his mouth. She loves them, of course. She puts them on immediately. John walks over to her. She kisses him on the forehead. He pushes the remote control and she lowers three inches. She's right at his height. He kisses her and pushes the remote again. She rises to her natural height. "That's what they're for," he smiles. Nelle looks a bit surprised. I giggle. But really, what's with the women going up and down in this episode?
"What do you mean, you quit?" Bleach Boy is asking Pretty Assistant (whose name I always forget is Sandy) to explain herself. She says she thinks he's "a jerk." YEA! "Don't misunderstand, you're a fantastic guy..." BOO! "Underneath that layer of jerk." YEA! She says she can't work for a guy who insists on walking around with "Robert Palmer girls." She says it's silly, that he looks silly, and it makes her look silly. She knows she's giving up a good job, one that could potentially be a career, but she just can't humiliate herself any longer with his crap. Sandy is really pretty. Billy apologizes and says he never meant to demean her. She says that she knows that, and that the look is working for him, so it's her problem. He says that he doesn't want her to leave, so he'll give up the girls. She says that it's not her place to tell him what to do. He grabs her upper arm too fiercely for my taste and says, "I'll get rid of the girls. I want you to stay." Sandy looks a bit defeated.
