Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 7 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Giving Is Taking
By Jacob Clifton | Season 4 | Episode 21 | Aired on 04.21.2013
Veronica: "You are a pushover!"
Owen: "No, I love my sister and I want her to be happy..."
Veronica: "So I what, want her to be unhappy? Two months and it's back to the hookers."
You better believe everybody goes as still as fawns in the forest when she drops that shit. Even Veronica is amazed by how horrible she's being, and immediately calms down and apologizes.
Veronica: "Should I stop?"
Alicia: "Nah, this is why I have you over! Into my home!"
Veronica: "Fine. If Owen gets to talk to Peter, then I..."
Alicia: "Mother, I swear to you. If you talk to Peter, you will never see those kids again. Or me. This is my life. Do you fucking copy."
She stomps off and everybody shivers all over their bodies and Veronica, hilariously, is like, "Fine, I guess I won't talk to Peter then." Just into the empty silence, with Owen looking like he's about to crawl into the cabinets and the whole world still shaking from the mighty rage of Alicia.
BLOWTORCH
Sooooo the swing votes just got fired. Why? Sickout. How did Blowtorch know about that? Monitoring Skype videos of them discussing what they were doing with their day other than not working and pretending to be sick. Specifically, because they were tired of being pressured for their votes, but generally I guess because they are "artists."
Nancy: "I mean, keep giving me reasons."
Alicia: "It's not a valid reason if you're spying on your employees..."
Nancy: "And if they were monitoring their Facebook pages that would be spying..."
Jacob: "Would it? I can't see how that could possibly be true, but you guys go on without me."
Nancy: "But this was routine monitoring of company laptops."
Cary: "Which they had in their homes..."
Alicia: "...Along with a legitimate expectation of privacy."
Nancy: "Judge Rod? Feeling a little ganged-up on."
Judge Rod: "One at a time."
Nancy: "So the employee handbook does say this stuff is subject to monitoring at all times."
Alicia: "Sure, and if they combed through every email and Skype they monitored, they'd find all kinds of other shit because people are people. But this is specific, because it's pretext, because they knew those two were the swing votes."
Nancy: "But that's not why they were fired, they were fired for lying."
