(Still, we love him!)
I feel like Kelseys been so disrespected by Charles for the past few seasons.
Hes never backing any of her choices, and shes so confused.
Is it because shes young?
Its what she deserves.
Exquisite burn.I know, I loved it.
Do you think there was any other solution to Charless problem besides promoting Kelsey and pushing himself out?
I think she has good resources behind her with Liza and Quinn, and even Diana.
With Charles, I think hes love starved a little bit.
Hes clearly smitten with Liza and I think he was so overwhelmed in running the company.
Hes done a shit job.
Even with these changes at Empirical, do you think thats still going to be the case?
Paired with Liza, she thinks they can take on the world with their sweet, innocent outlook.
Theyre the powerhouse couple in their friendship and their work.
She constantly feels lied to by Liza.
Its a constant big betrayal.
Its now like,What else is there?All of their experiences are tainted now by her lies.
I dont know if Kelsey getting this big promotion means it doesnt matter now, but who knows?
Is there truth to that?Yes, definitely.
I dont think Kelsey wants to admit it, but there is truth to it.
It constantly makes Kelsey nervous that the wrong person will find out about the secret.
Even just letting that one journalist know, it almost ruined their Reese Witherspoon deal.
By the way things ended, it seems like Lizas secret will be exposed to the public next season.
Do you agree with Quinn that the general public will celebrate her story andThe Viewwill be calling?
But I dont know!
I hope its that easy, but then I know we dont have a show.
Do you think any power dynamics will shift?Im inclined to say theres going to be some fighting.
But that said, the true love story of this show is Kelsey and Lizas relationship.
Theyre supposed to be partners and team members.
But at the end of the day, shes a liar.
At what point are your lies harmless, and at what point are you just a liar?
I feel like Kelsey is going to struggle with that a lot.
Or, Kelsey creates a badass team with Quinn and Diana and Liza, and its a girl-power dynamic.
I want her to crack into how Charles drove the business into the ground.
Shes a smart one.
Shes going to pull it out from somewhere.
You know, she might totally rebuild the structure of the teams and assign different jobs for people.
Or what if she fails?
Its gonna suck, but it could happen, too.
But I dont think its really in her DNA.
I love all of the fictional authors who are clearly based on real-life, popular figures.
One of my best friends in real life is engaged to Andy Favreau.
His brother is Jon Favreau, whos the inspiration for Jake Devereux.
Their group chat was hilarious.
They were teasing me and telling me what they were offended by and what they loved.
It was funny, because I was with a friend getting a couples massage when they were texting me.
So Jons definitely seen the episode.
Its a shame his character turned out to be a jerk.
