Thats sort of what I was thinking in my head while watching this episode.
The thing is, I love Kelly Dodd like Fox loves promos forThe Masked Singer.
But she really is a truck full of dynamite that does not go in reverse.
The thing is, more often than not, Kelly is in the right.
You are an accomplished woman.
Gina tells her that she looks like an asshole right then, and shes not wrong.
Kelly always doubles down on whatever she just said.
Her natural inclination is to go on the defensive and hold on to her position.
That, more often than not, is the wrong inclination.
Do you want a Xanax or something?
she says, the only question that one should ever pose to a friend in need.
The answer should always be yes.
Of course everything is fine with her.
Well, at least physically.
which is the only actual response, but it is not the one to have right to Shannons face.
That is the reaction you have as soon as you hang up the phone.
That is a very valid point, and all Kelly has to do is say, Im sorry.
I was just fooling around, I didnt realize how much this meant to you.
Kelly, well, she does not.
What is wrong with you?
And, naturally, the situation spirals from there.
Despite all of this, I cant help but love Kelly Dodd.
Everyone is skittering out of control, like a lopsided top on a skating rink.
Gina just careens from blowout to blowout like a rag doll in a tsunami.
Gina is mad that Emily is there for her but not there for her enough.
Emily is mad because Gina went with the popular girls when Emily has been there for her all along.
Its the classic Janis Ian fromMean Girlsdefense, and Emily is not wrong about what is going on.
Emily is in a tight spot here.
Shannon has blocked her from all social media and Emily claims they wont return her texts or phone calls.
I dont think life really works that way.
Oh, poor Emily.
Someone give her a hug (because we all know her husband wont do it).
Gina asks if she can only write one, because she has a lot of things to release.
