Oh, you guys, Pauline is angry.
And Pauline is also a dick.
Heres the thing, friends: Lizas true age was the worst-kept secret in publishing.
And also probably because he got a dragon tattoo thinking Liza was born during the Year of the Dragon.
But, alas, she was not.
(Or do they?)
Cheryl never outrightly spills Lizas secret but does continue to taunt our heroine with the fact that she knows.
Using the lie as leverage works both ways, apparently.
Well, how does she take the news?Oh, she is very interested in Liza Miller.
Whats the fallout?Honestly, not much.
Lets hope, at the very least, Lizas still seeing Dr. Wray.
If anyone needs some therapy, its the lady living a double life.
Well, how does he take the news?Is Thad related to Cheryl Sussman?
Aw, what a pal!
From a crane, you guys!
Emily may seem like a dummy, but unfortunately for Liza, shes not.
Well, how does she take the news?Oh, very well.
), Liza decides its time to make likeHilary Duffs 2004 singleand come clean to her best friend.
(Ill never apologize for that joke.)
Well, how does she take the news?No exaggeration, horribly.
Kelseys heart is broken, you guys!
Liza has no good cover story and ends up telling Jay everything over dinner.
Well, how does he take the news?Like its nothing.
The best thing about Jay is that he wants nothing in return.
He is too good for this world.
Whats the fallout?Jay and Liza date a little bit, but alas, Lizas heart belongs elsewhere.
You know the one Im talking about.
I dont know why youre dating a 40-something guy in publishing who isnt me!
We can never truly repay you for this, Jay.
Well, how does he take the news?Probably the worst out of everyone.
Like, so angry.
He ices her out at work and grows progressively passive-aggressive until finally he tells her he knows the truth.
And by tells, we mean he yells at her on a Manhattan sidewalk.
Don finds both of her IDs scattered on the sidewalk and has some questions.
One of them is not Why is your wallet so slippery that your IDs fell out of it?
but it shouldve been.
Behind her back, he writes up a huge story about her forVanity Fair.
Whats the fallout?The article gets pulled before getting published and Don just lets it go.
Don doesnt seem like the best journalist.
The truth hurts, Liza!
Whats the fallout?Not much aside from some mother-daughter bonding.
At least now Caitlin can stop blowing up Lizas spot accidentally.
Well, how does she take the news?Oh, she isintoit.
Whats the fallout?Since Quinn is into Lizas situation, Liza turns down Cheryls offer.
Its a huge, life-altering decision.
So the fallout is basically everything.
All the fallout you could imagine.
Well, how does she take the news?The woman goes nuclear.
Hell hath no fury, etc, etc.
I told you: NUCLEAR.
Whats the fallout?A lot of dirty looks and disappointed head shakes in Lizas general direction.
Laurens going to have some work to do!
Well, how does she take the news?Laurens response might be the best of all.
She immediately starts calling Liza Ms. Miller because her parents taught her to respect [her] elders.
Whats the fallout?Hard to tell at the moment.
Still, Lauren doesnt seem like one to hold a grudge over something like this.
and Liza has to confirm that what Pauline says is true, that Diana finally gets it.
A bonus sting comes when she realizes that she was the last person to know.
Shes the village idiot.
SHE HAS A PANIC ATTACK IN THE MIDDLE OF TIMES SQUARE.
Whats the fallout?Surprisingly (thankfully!
), it doesnt take too long for Dianato forgive Liza.
Bring her urine sample to the doctor!)
to much more meaningful things Lizas done for Diana (held her hand on the red carpet!
Told her to go after Enzo!).
Because thats it, isnt it, folks?
Well see how their dynamic changes post-reveal, but it seems like their bond is only stronger.
The Summer of Scam lives on!
Whats the fallout?Yet to be seen.
Cool, cool, cool.
This should be fun!
