Episode Report Card Potes: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Stabellini
By Potes | Season 4 | Episode 18 | Aired on 09.09.2012
We cut back to Melissa and Jacqueline, and Melissa says that she stayed quiet during the fight because she too didn't want Teresa to feel attacked by all sides. They then talk about how Caroline was hurt, which caused her to be very angry. Jacqueline says that Caroline is pretty done with Teresa, but Melissa hopes that they might still work it out. Back at Kathy's, Teresa explains that she was never really close with Caroline -- she really hung out with Dina and Jacqueline. Then conversation turns to the Jacqueline/Teresa friendship. Jacqueline interviews that she hasn't heard from Teresa since they returned from California, and she doesn't know why. Knowing Teresa's ways, however, it's not totally unexpected. Meanwhile, Kathy explains that she's no longer the wallflower that she once was -- now she's ready to be as bitchy a bitch who ever bitched, for purposes of better fitting in on this show, and airtime. For now, everyone is at peace, at least for the next minute and a half.
Then it's time for Melissa to visit Caroline, who is standing in front of a giant corkboard with a few notecards tacked on it. It turns out she's doing a special for Sirius radio. Melissa of course asks if Caroline can play her song on Sirius. Caroline is basically like, "Uh... no." For part of her special, Caroline is using her vacation experiences for inspiration, and talking about how and when to end a friendship. Lemons, lemonade. Caroline tells Melissa that she's tired, because she has always been there for Teresa, despite what Teresa may say. Melissa asks if Caroline is really finished. Caroline is REALLY FINISHED. Melissa says that Caroline was the one who was initially upset out of nowhere, so it's not fair of her to sit there and act like a victim. Caroline claims that she was upset because she felt so badly for Kathy, and didn't plan to get involved until Teresa said something about how Caroline accepted her apology. She really wanted Teresa to know that she did NOT accept her apology. Melissa points out that this isn't high school. Nay, it's much, much worse than high school. She says that Teresa apologized, so what else is left? I'll tell you what's left -- Caroline's fiery hatred of Teresa. She wins for the accurate cliché of the day by saying that a monkey is off her back, and she's glad that Melissa is in a good place. She's happy to help Melissa in any way she can. Except by playing her crap song on Sirius radio. Sorry!
And then it's time for Melissa to visit with Teresa. As it turns out, it's the evening of Teresa's Fabellini launch party, and Melissa is going to babysit. She wanted Teresa to be able to go out and relax, and also not to have to drink her undoubtedly nasty alcoholic beverage. I suspect Fabellini will be somewhat like Skinnygirl margaritas -- fine if you add tequila. Audriana stays behind, I guess because it's easy enough to put Fabellini in the bottle and knock her out for a few hours.
