He says there are people we love to hate and there are people that we just hate.

Ashley is someone we just hate.

Just look at their interaction.

Whitney approaches her at the party and says he doesnt appreciate the awful things she says.

Ashleys apologies, sincere or otherwise, always come with some kind of insult.

Madison says, Then why do you keep saying awful things about her on social media?

Well, I dont really want to get into that, so keep your mouth shut, Ashley roars.

Thats the thing about apologies.

Its not like hosting a dinner party where you get to set the menu.

Its more like a school potluck dinner, where you might only serve what youre assigned.

That seems to totally track.

Other than that, everything that Ashley says is complete and utter nonsense.

Ashley just goes around the party offending various and assorted groups.

The whole thing is just a debacle, and, seriously, why did we have to see that?

There was no way that anyone on the show would forgive her or move forward with her.

Of course Ashley was thrust upon us by Eliza Fetch Limehouse, who is literally the worst.

Im an outcast, she says, so I wanted to give Ashley the chance to make peace.

Did she not believe everything that they had said about her?

Did she not watch the show?

Why would she give her a chance?

Should I ask her to leave?

How about listen to everyone in your life who says that shes awful?

How about pay attention?

The person I do have time for is Susan, Elizas mother.

She looks like a plain Southern belle, just as regular as a gingham tablecloth.

But then, when she sits down with Eliza shes like, Isnt your boyfriend too old?

Do you think youre dating him because you have daddy issues?

And what about this couch?

It looks like someone died on it.

Why are we even wasting our time with Eliza?

Jazzercise, honestly, has more testosterone than the Barre Method.

Naomie says she cant disrespect her new boyfriend Mehtul by going on a trip with her ex-boyfriend Craig.

Naomie told them she wasnt going because of Craig, and that I understand.

By why wouldnt Mehtul want her to go?

But is he afraid shes going to stray with Craig?

Is he that insecure in their relationship?

And who wants a man who tells her when and where to go places and with whom?

Finally Naomie and Craig sit down at the plantation party and talk out their differences.

Craig tells her he knows its over and that hes happy for her and Mehtul.

I think thats what he said.

Its so sweet that everything is a little bit back to normal.

Then Craig and Shep do the smartest thing Ive ever seen either of them do.

They go to the pier to venture to catch fish so that they can avoid Ashley altogether.

Oh, if only the rest of us could be so lucky.
