So it's paying to be crazy.
The designers are dragged to Newark, New Jersey and made to dig through recyclables for materials for their designs. Unfortunately, there is not fabric there. Only paper and crap like that.
Laura's salty personality is the focus of a lot of this episode. Some people like it (Michael), some people are growing weary of it (Kayne of Many Colors, Robert), and some people are plotting her demise (I hate Jeffrey).
Completely by surprise, Alison finds this challenge very difficult. Her design ideas conflict with the materials that she has gathered, and mayhem ensues.
Per usual, Vincent creates a big giant stupid load of crap. He, of course, thinks that it's great.
On the runway, Vincent, Kayne of Many Colors, and Alison are called out for being the worst designers. Michael pulls out another win, which infuriates Jeffrey, and we will most definitely be discussing it later. And I donât know what's going on. Alison is sent home. Sure, her model looked fat in the design. But have we ever sent a model home for making a dress look too big? I'm just not sure it's fair. And she was so lovely. And VINCENT IS STILL ON THE SHOW. Are they waiting for bloodshed? It had better be good, is all I'm saying.
Previously: Michael won the challenge, for updating Pam Grier's iconic look. Now, if he could only update her acting talent. For real, her work on The L Word is painful. Jeffrey was a dick to Angela in the sewing room, because he's incredibly talented and successful and she's cramping his style. Also previously, my heart was broken and my beloved Bradley Baumkirchner was taken away. And, after a week of shaking my fists at the heaven and kissing the clock every time it read "12:34" in the hopes that my wishes would replace Bradley's dismissal with, I don't know, anybody's... we're back for another episode of Project Not Working Out The Way Jeff Had Hopedway.
It's morning, and Michael makes sure that Robert is awake as he's on his way to the potty. He interviews that he was very excited to win the last challenge. It has motivated him and he wants to win again. Robert notes that he and Michael are the last guys remaining from their apartment.
In the other boys' apartment, Vincent laments Bradley's departure. "My boy is gone!" That's sweet, but I'm feeling territorial and would like to cut him. Vincent says that the judging is subjective, then screams at Kayne of Many Colors, "N O Vay Shun!" I love it when they play phonetics. Let me! Okay, here goes: you're crazy, Vincent. ... I don't think I did it right.
Vincent reminds us that he cashed in his 401k and quit a job to be on Project Runway. That totally freaks me out for his child. Granted, he's 49, so his 401k may actually be substantial; but fame doesn't always pay the bills. Even though this show brings a lot of attention (and Vincent is clearly a stand-out personality, for better or worse), it seems like such a huge risk to assume that you will be able to parlay that into a family-sustaining paycheck. And unless Vincent makes a massive turnaround in future challenges, no one's going to be beating down his door to get a piece of clothing made by him. Even if he's incredibly talented, that's not what we've seen. I'm probably ignorant to the myriad ways just being a celebrity can bring in cash, but... if Vincent was expecting this to really be his calling card, I think he's in trouble.
Vincent continues in his interview, saying that the show is the riskiest thing that he has done, but he thinks he has the "talent and the construction skills" (not to mention "delusion") to make it to the final three.
In the girls' apartment, Alison shows Uli a lotion or tube of something. It's anti-stress, and she has already used half of it.
At Parsons, Heidi enters the runway in a really horrible outfit. It's a flapper-cut dress with a thigh-high slit. And she's wearing thigh-high boots underneath. For whoever is in the bottom three in this challenge: I suggest that you refer Heidi as "Those Who Live In Glass Houses."
Before Heidi introduces the challenge, Michael gets to decide if he wants to keep working with his model, Nazri, or choose another one. She's freaking gorgeous and he's not stupid, so he's sticking with Nazri. That means that Katie, Bradley's model, is going home. You should've thrown down when you had the chance! See ya, Katie!
Now, Heidi asks them if they're ready for the challenge. They all kind of mumble "yes," except for Angela, who's loud about it. Then Heidi jokes that the designers have had it easy so far. This is, of course, absurd and all of the designers kind of laugh. Except, again, for Angela who loudly protests. Heidi says that, compared to last season, they have had it easy. So I guess she wasn't joking. I don't feel like it's been easy this year! Alison interviews that they all rolled their eyes at Heidi's comment, and she lisps, "I feel like I've been here for months working constantly." Heidi continues saying that the couple of challenges are going to be really hard. Robert interviews that they are all exhausted and working their tails off. Does the production think that we viewers feel like the designers aren't being challenged? Do they think we hate them and want to see them tortured? Okay, asking the question, I realize that maybe I want to see them tortured a little bit. That's fun. But I don't hate them. Well, I don't hate all of them.
Heidi tells them that they will find out about their challenge the day. Then she gives them a wicked little wave and walks off of the runway in her truly hideous outfit. That dress was ugly.
The morning, at 5 AM, Tim Gunn knocks on the door of an apartment in the Atlas Building. Michael answers, clearly having just been woken. You can tell that, for a moment, he thinks he's dreaming. Tim gently tells him, like when your mom would wake you up when you were a kid, that he's taking them on a field trip.
Laura answers the door at the girls' apartment and she seems unfazed. I guess if it's not one of five kids waking you to vomit or pee on themselves, it's really nothing too surprising. Tim tells Vincent that, on their field trip, they are not allowed to wear open-toed shoes.
Laura has on the riding pants that she wore during the dog challenge. Alison says to her (and her lisp has never worked so well, for a moment), "It's a good thing you wore your riding pants. In case it's horses." It's so dry, it's champagne. I'm loving Alison right now.
All of the designers pile into a practical yet unfashion-y black van and start traveling. As they are driving on the New Jersey Turnpike, Alison says that she quietly hummed the theme to The Sopranos to herself. I prefer Bon Jovi. More than that, I think I would prefer imitation Bon Jovi to the imitation Sopranos theme that the Project Runway team has whipped up. It may just be a matter of taste, but I really don't like the flavor of a lot of the scoring of this show. It feels like Right Said Fred found a new career. Laura mentions that New Jersey looks awful. And with that, Laura is dead to Sars. ["Hee, Joe R said the same thing -- but, you know, even I can't defend Exit 13A." -- Sars]
They finally end up at a warehouse, which Robert likens to waking up in a nightmare. Tim tells them that they are in Newark and introduces them to a warehouse of recyclables. Robert says that his first reaction was, "Shut up! I don't wanna work with... trash." I have to say, I'm kinda seconding that. Do we have to do trash?
Suddenly they all have hard hats and vests in fluorescent yellow. You know, in case a car can't see them. Tim is standing to some guy and says that the challenge is to create an outfit from recycled materials. He introduces Matthew Coz of Waste Management Recycle America. I swear to all that is holy, if Matthew Coz is a guest freaking judge on Project Runway, there will be blood. Five tons of recyclables come through the doors of the Newark recycling place every day, says Matthew. I guess that's supposed to make the designers feel like their chances are better for finding something that's not just a piece of plastic or a freaking Coke can. Or the producers are trying to endow Matthew with some usefulness by giving him spiel time. Seems like a failure either way. What ? Clothing out of melting polar ice caps? I don't need conscience-raising right now, Bravo; I need some damn fashion.
Tim says that they'll each get three bins to collect materials and that this challenge is about "innovation and creativity." Might I suggest that the producers try a little "innovation and creativity" when choosing the challenge? I'm sorry, I'm just gonna put this out there -- not too excited about the trash outfits. They've already had their repurposing challenge this season. I just feel like our chances of seeing beautiful work is greatly diminished when there are multiple challenges like this. Sure, it's great to see people innovate, but so much energy is spent trying to make an apple an orange instead of just trying to make the apple taste good. Apologies for that. What a stupid analogy. But, right?
They get thirty minutes to dig through the trash; then they will go to an art store for supplies. Laura grabs some shredded paper and asks Alison if she thinks that she might be able to make fur trim out of it. I'm sensing -- and deeply hoping -- that was a joke. No more fur trim, Laura. Jeffrey gets very excited about seeing Martha Stewart on a magazine.
Kayne of Many Colors tells us, as he is taking the tops off of bottles of water, that he grew up "white trash" and used to go dumpster-diving with his sister. "I've spent my whole life in the trash can." I'm not sure what to say. I don't want to just laugh, but I want to laugh at least some. It's sad too. Kids dumpster-diving is never funny... unless it's part of the not-so-secret past of a pageant dressmaker. Then, what are you gonna do, you have to at least chuckle.
"Because this is trash, I want to make something that's contradictory to trash." Socrates, you say? Maybe Albert Einstein? No, you're thinking its Thomas Edison. Well, you're underestimating Vincent, then, because he was the genius responsible for that blueprint-for-amazing remark. You know, Vincent is not very guarded at all, which is kind of refreshing, and I'm sure that's how a lot of that stuff slips past any filter he might have. But, still... geez. He wants to make something contradictory to trash. So, he's saying that he doesn't want to send trash down the runway? I can't thank him enough for clearing that up. If I see trash, I'll know that that's not what he wanted to do. Got it.
Alison interviews that she was excited and inspired to be working with something besides fabric. I can hardly see her face due to the smoke from her pants catching on fire.
After their thirty minutes is up, we see a moment of Michael beat-boxing and Laura doing this hip-hopper-cum-stroke-victim dance that Michael mercifully puts a stop to. I wish they would just do that instead of making trash dresses. That would be so much fun.
Back in Manhattan, without a single designer having been rubbed out, they go to Lee's Art Store, where they will have fifteen minutes and twenty-five dollars to get what they need. Jeffrey grabs some paints and says that he wants to make a pretty textile with paints.
Back at the workroom, they have ten hours to finish. And that's all. Angela is freaked out because they usually have two days to finish the challenges. That's when they're using materials that aren't actively decaying and don't give you hepatitis. Kayne of Many Colors says that this is definitely going to be a challenge.
Alison says that she plans on making a large skirt. She's nervous because the time restraints mean that there's no room for error. Angela is shooting for a simple design using patchwork, because she "love love loves" patchwork. Michael seems like he's pretty inspired. He's got some thick plastic and he's trying to respect the integrity of its shape.
Vincent is also trying to let his inspiration lead the way. He says, "I let things evolve. I don't own the future. I don't go there. I let it come. And, that's how I work." Oh my. Laura interviews that Vincent is totally insane and about to crack. The mannequins are all, "Cover your temples if he starts swinging?" We see Vincent making some really weird faces as he's thinking, and just as I was about to say, "Oh, he probably just stubbed his toe, or maybe he has to go to the potty," I decide, no. If it walks like a crazy, talks like a crazy, and makes crazy poopie faces like a crazy, well, why do I need to try to translate that? Vincent is freaking crazy. They said as much in the Road to the Runway. Fashion can't actually kill you. It's not coal mining. It can, however, drive you batty -- three words: Andre Leon Talley. Two more: Vincent Libretti. Crazy is not necessarily bad, but it is crazy. I was just feeling kind of bad for always pointing out how insane he seems, but really... it's just there. I'm merely observing. And then cruelly making fun of what I observe.
We see Robert and Kayne of Many Colors enjoying some catered food in a rest area. It's nice to know that they at least feed the poor designers. Robert suggests that they trash-talk someone, but Kayne of Many Colors says that his own design is pretty weak. Robert doesn't want him to leave because that means he'll be left alone with Laura, who he sometimes feels wants to shoot him in the face. Ouch. Kayne of Many Colors thinks her dress looks pretty. It reads, "For Nuts Only," on the back of it. Robert thinks it looks like a straitjacket. I guess he doesn't like her. Maybe they're all just having a little caustic fun, but you can never tell when they're saying it without the target present. Kayne of Many Colors mentions that Laura kissed him on the cheek that day and Robert replies, "I know, you're gonna get a rash. You'd better wash."
Apparently, it's Pick On Laura Day, because Jeffrey interviews that he's really bored with Laura's work. "Another high-waisted skirt," he huffs. Oh please. Could we have another shredded asymmetrical skirt? It's called a point of view, fart blossom!
As they are all chugging away, it looks like Alison is having trouble. She was arranging lots of different colored strips of paper, but when she started to sew them, things got hairy.
Robert interviews that he recycles: "Papers, plastics, ex-boyfriends." Rita Rudner called -- the Carnival Cruise is leaving soon, and she'd like her act back. Kayne of Many Colors says that the time crunch is really getting to everyone.
Alison tells Laura that she has scrapped her original idea (we see her looking at it in a mirror, and it was horrendous. A square skirt? I don't know, but it was bad) and is starting something new. She's using crepe paper. She says she doesn't want to go home because designing clothes is her life.
Kayne of Many Colors is having problems too. He interviews that he chose lime green paint to adorn his design, which was "an atrocious mistake." I'll say. Everybody's laughing at it. Laura interviews that his dress was the "clear dog" in the room, not counting Vincent's secret friend. Don't be scared, she doesn't bite. She does, however, kill the bad guys with cotton candy!! Kayne of Many Colors explains that he went overboard until it looked like "a toad exploded all over it." At one point, he implores his dress to "come on, sister." The mannequin's like, "What? Dumpster-dive?"
Jeffrey is having a much easier time. He is working with newspaper and loves it. He points to a patch on his jeans, which I assumed he made, and says that he has been working with newspaper for a while. Reading them? No. Making clothes with them? But of course. He feels most confident that he will win this challenge. I personally would like to keep on seeing Jeffrey lose challenges. It pisses him off so much. It's just kind of funny.
Michael puts his name card on his winning design from the last challenge, and everyone in the workroom applauds him. He interviews that he auditioned for Season 2 of the show, but didn't make it. He had written, "I will make Project Runway and I will win Project Runway" on a piece of paper as encouragement, and he just discovered it in his wallet today. He feels like it is "predestined."
Vincent seems all kinds of fucked up while he's designing. He blathers on about how he's tweaking his dress. His dress is finished, but he's just adorning it with other stuff. Laura says she is not crazy about Vincent's design. Essentially, he has made a long white sheath dress and now is just "gluing garbage all over the front of it."
With an hour and a half left, Tim enters. He talks to Uli first and loves her dress. She is so sweet when Tim is complimenting her. She seems like a really great girl. Tim tells Jeffrey that his dress is "stunning." Then he tells Vincent that his dress is one-dimensional, which is "not good." Tim likes Michael's bodice, but isn't crazy about the skirt. He thinks it's a "blank canvas."
When Tim sees Alison's dress, he mentions that her model, Alexandria, is "zaftig" and "large." You know obesity in America has REALLY gotten out of control when even our models are fat. Way to go, McDonald's. Alison interviews that her challenge is going to be cinching the waist, so it looks modern instead of super-sized. She's worried. Tim says, "It's about the model you have. It has to look good on her." In all fairness, it sounds like that was looped in. Maybe he didn't offer that nugget in the workroom. Of course, you should probably already know that if you're Alison.
Tim immediately laughs at Kayne of Many Colors's dress. He says it looks like a "high school crafts project." Poor KoMC. He's looking a little crushed. Tim continues, saying it looks like "amateur hour" and a "high school prom backdrop." Then he brings out KoMC's pet hamster and squeezes the life out of it with his bare hands. And then he shoots him in the kneecaps. For real, overkill much, Tim? That was brutal! KoMC just removes the skirt. He's going to make some changes. KoMC interviews that he's not considering winning the challenge; rather, he's just hoping to not be auf'd.
With one hour left, KoMC attempts to make a new skirt. It is not going well. Alison is more stressed after Tim's visit.
They all return to the Atlas apartments in their yellow vests and hardhats. KoMC knows that he won't win the challenge, unless the judges are on crack. Let's cross our fingers for Mayor Marion Barry as guest judge.
The morning, Laura wakes fully dressed and makes some coffee. She interviews that she will definitely not be going home for this challenge.
At Parsons, Tim tells the designers that they have two hours before the runway show -- fittings, hair, and make-up included. A lot of the outfits are uncomfortable for the models. Robert interviews that he hopes that his outfit will make it down the runway without falling apart.
Alison directs the hair guy, Nathaniel, to give Alexandria a "big bow of hair." We see a shot of Laura shaking her head, presumably in reaction to the hair bow. She interviews that KoMC's and Alison's styling choices were painful to watch.
Backstage, while looking at KoMC's model, Amanda, who is swathed in liters of dark green eye make-up (with generous interpretation for what is the actual eye area), Laura asks him why he chose the color. "Stress," he replies. Laura says, "I swear to God, I wonder about your choices so often, sweetheart." KoMC cuts back, "Well, honey, I worry about your character, and that's worse. And, the thing is, I've won a challenge, and I was in the top three last time. So, you don't have to worry about my choices." He's not done. "So, I'm just not gonna be degraded on camera. That's just bullshit." While I thoroughly enjoyed that exchange and wouldn't trade it for all of the paper dresses in the world, I do think KoMC is a touch the Kayne of Many Hypocrisies right now. He's talking shit all the time -- does he not see the cameras when he's doing that? He didn't say that he wouldn't degrade someone else on camera, but... he sounded a little self-righteous. Still, give me more.
Alison is having problems because her model, along with being enormous, has no waist. Alison's dress is in trouble.
Vincent loves his design. "It gets me off." And, ew.
The viewer question this week is, "Who's the toughest judge? Heidi, Michael, or Nina." Nice question. Hmm, I say Michael.
On the runway, Heidi introduces the judges. They are Michael Kors, Nina Garcia, and celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe. Thank that puppet of Satan for the Olsen twins. ["I'd rather they'd have used the recycling dude." -- Sars]
The show begins with Uli's dress. It's a high-waisted dress with a flared skirt that hits right above the knee. The bodice is strapless and white. The skirt is a white and silver braid. She used silver mylar and muslin. It's really beautiful. The fit is a touch stiff but, uh, it's trash. What can we expect?
Angela's design is . It's a plastic dress with purple patchwork on it and huge cutouts on the side. Underneath are a skirt and bandeau top made of aluminum foil. Her materials were graphic prints and mylar. It's kind of ghastly, but does demonstrate innovation and creativity. Angela is happy with it and feels like Clarissa "really worked it."
Michael's design follows. With a peanut sack, gold mylar, and plastic tarp, he made a skirt and bodice with a wrap. The bodice is gold and braided fabric and strapless. The skirt is white, and Michael acknowledges that it is "hard as a brick." It's really pretty. It fits Nazri beautifully. The wrap is awesome. It's got this stiff structure that resembles dresses from the 1950s.
is Vincent's design. It's a paper version of the dress that Madonna wore to the Oscars back when she sang the Steven Sondheim song. That was around the last time Vincent was sentient, I believe. It has what appears to be confetti glued to it. Besides being ugly, it's seriously a time warp. Very Stephen Sprouse. And not in a good way. "It's like watching art in motion. It just really got me off." He needs to stop that.
Robert's dress is . It is made entirely of silver mylar strips. It's a lovely little cocktail dress. There is a slight v-shape at the neck with medium-width straps, and little mylar bows along the bodice and skirt. There's lots of ruching along the dress, and it fits like a dream. Robert feels like it looks like a real cocktail dress, although maybe one that a hooker might wear. Okay, I've been debating for like five minutes about whether I should make a joke about hookers and cocktail dresses. I'm just not classy enough to do it without being really gross.
Jeffrey's model is walking now. His is a halter dress with a wide belt at the waist. The skirt is longer in the back and hits above the knee in the front. There is a deep yellow-green coupled with blue as the palette for his design, and it's really beautiful. He, of course, is thrilled with anything he touches. "The execution was flawless," he says. I felt vibrations there like he was about to refer to himself in the third person. I'm thankful it didn't happen. Jeff doesn't like the thought of Jeffrey doing that.
Laura's design is . It's an empire-waisted minidress with a v-neck. The neckline plunges to the waistline of the dress, which is white with a thin black trim at the waist and a black flower on the side of the trim. Again, the back reads "For Nuts Only," which is cute. She made all of this with peanut sack and black plastic strips. Laura thinks it was stunning.
Alison's is . Oh my. Alexandra looks huge. I'm wondering if she's about to unwrap herself to reveal the actual dress that Alison designed. It's an interesting concept, with lots of different textures created with the same colored paper. But the execution was not good. And: the hair bow. Looks very bad. Alison interviews that she isn't sure what the judges will think.
Here's Kayne of Many Colors's dress. It has improved since the long skirt. Still not very good, though. Now, there's a flared skirt of silver mylar. The bodice is sleeveless with a lot of tacky green paint all over it. There's lacing on the back of the bodice that's pretty interesting. Glitter everywhere! It's like KoMC's inner child vandalized a square dancer. KoMC interviews that he hates his dress but hopes that his silhouette and construction were enough to keep him from getting auf'd.
Afterwards, Heidi calls Alison, KoMC, Laura, Vincent, Michael, and Jeffrey. The others are safe. Clarissa and Angela embrace backstage. Onstage, all of the models return. Michael Knight explains that he imagined the plastic in his wrap to be organza, the bodice to be taffeta, and the skirt of peanut sack to be linen. Rachel likes its fit. Nina thinks the wrap was very clever. Michael Kors applauds his innovation.
Michael points out that Vincent's dress didn't move very well. His model, Jia, almost fell down on the runway. It might have worked better as a minidress. Vincent replies that he liked that he dress was crunchy. It turned him on. Michael is, for a moment, a conduit for the emotions of the viewer and turns to Nina like he's about to toss his cookies. Nina takes over and says that it's bizarre, and Vincent replies, "It is bizarre and that's what I like. It's artsy. Very artsy." And for a moment, I'm wondering if Vincent Libretti might be a big fat put-on. That shit was like Martin Short. I'm incredulous. Nina breaks it down and asks Vincent if he denies that his model had trouble walking, which he does not. Michael has regained his composure by now, and says the key is to be turned on and gotten off and all of those other nasty euphemisms, but also to make a dress that functions. Heidi says that she admires Vincent for being fearless with his design.
Rachel loves Laura's dress. They all love her tailoring. Michael loves the flower on the side.
Kayne of Many Colors explains that he didn't make exactly what he intended and, in the end, tried to make his model look as if she'd just rolled in a dumpster. Nina thinks it looks like a costume. A bad costume. He reiterates that he was pressed for time. I think that's a good strategy. Better that they at least know that it wasn't his vision. Rachel says that she respects the design, especially knowing that he hurried as much as he did. Michael says that KoMC drove into Bad Taste Land.
Jeffrey says that his dress can function, and everyone agrees. Michael says that Jeffrey's was the only dress that moved on the runway. He also likes the trompe l'oeil belt painted onto the design. Then he says that it's "ugly beautiful" and he considers that Jeffrey's aesthetic. Jeffrey is like, "Sure," but you can tell he's thinking, "This guy just called me ugly."
Heidi thinks that Alison's model looks huge. She thinks the hair looks like Minnie Mouse. She repeats the fat thing and says that Alexandra looks like a plus model. Ooh, you're going to hear about that one, Heidi. Meanwhile, Alexandra doesn't flinch during any of this, which I admire. I'm sure visions of my future plans to adopt an eating disorder would clearly prance across my face if someone were saying those things about me on TV. Michael thinks it's unflattering and is surprised that a woman would create that for another woman. Heidi adds that she doesn't think it's innovative and Michael says Alexandra looks like a "paper brioche."
The judges deliberate. They all love Laura. Rachel says she would walk out in Michael's outfit. Michael Kors loved Michael's explanation for his design. KoMC doesn't get the same marks. Rachel likens his design to a piñata. Nina says, "We went from Marilyn Monroe to Frankenstein." She really emphasized the "-stein" in "Frankenstein" there. It was kind of funny and I plan on saying it that way for the rest of my days. Not that I say "Franken-STEIN" all that often. Michael chalks KoMC's outfit up to a lapse in judgment. They all feel that Jeffrey's design was smart and brave. Nina thought that Vincent's dress looked like a bad science project and Heidi, taking up for him for the second time, says that "he likes to push the envelope a little bit." What is she doing? That dress looks ridiculous.
They think Alison's outfit was a nightmare. Then Heidi asks would she rather look like a "fat Minnie Mouse" or "slim and long." I'm assuming she's talking about Vincent for the third time. Is she getting a chunk of his 401k or something?
The designers return to the runway. Commercials. Nina wins toughest judge by a landslide. 76 percent.
We're back. Laura is "in." The winner is... Michael! Jeffrey is PISSED. I love it. He interviews that he was amazed to win. Jeffrey is "in" and was "just short" of winning. He interviews that he can't believe he lost to Michael's design, which was the equivalent of "diabetic food." Great sport, that one. KoMC is "in," but "just barely."
And it's down to Alison and Vincent. Vincent is told that there's a fine line between "innovation and insanity." Well, it's lucky that Vincent is far into the "insane" section. No need for a photo finish there. Alison is admonished for being a female designer and making a woman look so bad. Alison is "out." She looks shocked.
Backstage, Laura, with one of her boobs seriously hanging out of her dress (and who knew her boobs could do that?), tells Vincent that his girl couldn't walk in her dress. She's outraged that Alison is going home. It's really uncomfortable and I love it. KoMC, trying to smooth things over, says that everyone should just try to enjoy Alison's last moments. Whatever.
Alison says that we have not seen the last of her. She's excited for the chapter in her life.
