Backstage, Felicia tells the models to “have fun, have attitude, just screw with each other,” whatever that means. They should've used all of the trainers as models — they all look good and already have attitude and screw with each other every day.
A really built guy walks out. Rebecca smacks her lips and says: “Yeah. That's hot.” Typical. Each model struts out and rips open their Lift T-shirt to reveal the new, sporty design underneath. The skinny blond has trouble ripping her T-shirt in two; she must be too weak from hunger. When it's Zen's turn, they all hoot and holler for her. She's having a blast and you hardly know she's nervous under that raccoon makeup.
Jackie toasts her staff: “I know that I have the best team to support me. You guys rock. … You've made me grow, and that's what life is about. Thank you so much for being a part of my life.”
Jesse's still the consummate ass-kisser and yells back: “It's all about leadership, Jackie. You're the best, Jackie.”
Mingling with Jackie after the show, Jesse says, “I think that Jackie is the hottest, like, being ever.” She's wearing a suit and tie. Jesse thinks she looks “handsome.”
Mimi steps in and gets in Jesse's face, saying, “I do too, bitch.” She sounds drunk.
Jackie can taste the flavor of trouble. “I can't help but think, in my heart of hearts, that she is just going to try and sabotage my success,” she predicts. This girl needs something of her own. Get a job. Read to blind kids. Go paint something. Seriously.
The next day, Zen and Doug are talking about a Jackie intervention. Flush with new confidence, Zen wants to help Jackie the way Jackie helped her. “Do you think she would be better off without Mimi?” Zen asks.
Doug says, “I only see Mimi pop in and out every once in a while.”
Zen says, “When she's here, it's like crazy.”
Doug agrees: “It's stressful. It's stressful on all of us … I think Jackie wants it over, to be honest with you.”
Zen says, “But she keeps getting sucked in!” There would be no show if Jackie didn't keep going back for more. I mean really, who cares if some D-list celebrity gets nicer abs and sings the praises of fresh vegetables?
Mimi tries to punish Jackie by not going to Jody Watley's party but it backfires because that's more of a reward. Realizing she's going to miss out, she changes her mind. They're sharing the mirror in Jackie's bathroom. Mimi warns, “I haven't forgiven you,” as she applies mascara. I want to jam that wand into her eye.
Jackie's not falling for it anymore. She's no longer contrite, nor patient. Jackie says, “I have that song in my head …”
“Which one?” Mimi asks.
“‘These Boots are Made for Walking,'” Jackie replies. I'm thinking of the Guns N' Roses song, “Used to Love Her.” I used to love her, but I had to kill her/I had to put her/Six feet under/And I can still hear her complaaain …
At Jody's party, everyone's drinking. Fueled by a few cosmos, Mimi yells above the music to Doug and Andre: “Hey, guess what? Jackie went on a date because we're having problems, so she goes on a date. She just goes on a date. So she comes to me and says ‘Baby, I went on a date with this girl and I just want you to know that we didn't hit it off.' I'm like, ‘Oh really? Well that's wonderful. Thanks for telling me.'”
Later, Mimi's hanging all over Peeler, singing the same song. Rebecca sees it and says: “It's very disrespectful. Here's Peeler's fiancé, and Jackie's girlfriend is hanging all over him. You just don't do that past the age of 18.” If Rebecca thinks something is immature, it must be really immature.
