Meanwhile, Jacqueline takes Lauren to meet with someone who has a line of mineral makeup. Jacqueline is apparently a licensed cosmetologist and, as is evident if you look at her face, very into makeup. So she's serving as sort of a mentor and helper to Lauren as she gets her "business" "started." One of her jobs is to help find products to bring into the store (which we are reminded is going to be called "Caface," best name ever), and thus they are meeting with Richard Hanson, president of Bellapierre Cosmetics and Nicole Lotito, the CFO of ENV Consulting. Jacqueline ups the professionalism of the meeting by ordering a Screaming Orgasm and then mentioning vajazzling. We learn that Lauren Manzo's euphemism for "vagina" is, I think, "chuckie." Or "juggy." As Lauren talks about how serious she is as a business person, Jacqueline spills her Screaming Orgasm all over the table. And, scene.
Back at the bakery signing, Kathy and Rich show up, with their book in tow. Everything seems to be going okay until Kathy mentions her dessert tasting at the other bakery. Teresa says she'll be there, but has a weird look in her eyes, and then starts talking about all the dessert recipes in her cookbook. They flip through the pages and Kathy is like, "Oh! My mother's pizzelles," and "Oh! My mother's cookies." In an interview, Teresa assures us that Kathy is crazy and passive-aggressive and that these are HER mother's recipes. I'm sure there's some insane previous generation feud about the cookie origin. And what's more, Teresa has even more dessert recipes for her next cookbook. Outside, Kathy is like, "I didn't even know she could bake! Good for her!" but she obviously is not entirely pleased.
And then it is time for Kathy's crunk little dessert tasting. Her kids are outside holding a hand-written sign, and Rosie helps hang up some flags. I will say that Kathy's desserts look awesome. Kathy and Rich talk about who is coming to the tasting, and Rich says that he hopes Teresa doesn't come, largely because she's a horrible person. Kathy maybe kind of agrees. The entire Manzo family shows up to the tasting, and Jacqueline, and the Gorgas. Kathy hands out little rating forms for everyone. Poor Lauren feels weird eating actual food in public. And then Teresa shows up, with her friend Linda. Their parking lot conversation is about how Kathy has stolen Teresa's recipes, which were handed down from HER mother. Teresa is not going to bring it up today, though, or so she claims.
