IMAGES AND RECAP: PART ONE |
Gary can't wait...the Staten Island Sideshow is in town! |
Holly is wondering why Gary doesn't do anything more
substantial with his school break... |
...like sleep. |
Holly lets Gary know the sad truth about New York City: there
are freaks everywhere you look. |
But none of them can swallow a paper bag whole! |
Kiki, Valerie's assistant at Harper and Diggs, calls her to
say she's not able to come to work because she's in Orlando with
some guy. |
As Gary leaves to see more freaks of nature get their freak
on... |
...Holly watches Val freak out over the loss of her
assistant for a few days. |
Why waste $500 on someone who can't even pass a drug test
without having to "borrow" a urine sample? |
Holly didn't hear the part about the urine sample, but that
"$500" came in loud and clear. |
Holly suggests that she work with Val for a few days,
because she could use the $500... |
...and she could get some use out of a skirt she's saved for
just such an occasion. |
Val tells Holly she's to conduct herself in an absolutely
professional manner at Harper and Diggs. |
She can do that...right? |
At Harper and Diggs, Valerie displays her latest
"get": Kira Martin on the cover of My Magazine. |
H&D's newest employee couldn't be happier! |
Like we said...absolutely professional! |
There's a lot Holly needs to understand about the PR
business...like why they would play up the fact Kira got a boob
job, then deny it just as quickly. |
Since Smelly Susan is out of the picture, the firm needs a
new executive director. It's down to these two: Lauren, just in
from Chicago, and Val. |
Holly ponders if she has the qualifications for the job. |
But Val's off to a bad start as Lauren comments the pic of
Kira that she signed off on makes her look cross-eyed. |
Vic is slow to agree, but the more he looks at the pic, the
more he concurs that she looks cross-eyed. |
It's just another one of those weird
quirks of optical illusion that Val has to address. |
Holly notices that Lauren is getting a little competitive in
front of Vic. |
Holly tries to ID Vic as Val's superior... |
...when in reality he was the guy she asked to fetch trash
bags. |
Val wants the promotion since it would leave her as the
second in command at H&D. |
Holly sees that "cross-eyed" remark of Lauren's as
just a power play, and she believes Lauren is capable of worse. |
She believes that the Chicago hotshot should be brought
down... |
...but can't resist the opportunity to dish
on Val's would-be rival. |
Val just thinks the only thing Lauren is doing, is her job. |
And Vic's done his job, getting Holly her trash bags. |
Later, Holly's in the break room with Vic and Lauren. |
As Holly is serving coffee to the business titans... |
...she sees Lauren hand Vic a box of fine Cuban cigars. |
Word gets around to Val, naturally. |
And Holly had help for the simile
concerning Lauren. |
Even though Holly has confirmed her own suspicions that
Lauren is bad news... |
...and that this stranger from Chicago is slowly moving in
on her turf... |
...Val thinks it's just high-school-style one-upsmanship. |
But Holly's got news for her. |
Val would much rather the best person get the job, not the
one who dazzles with flash and style... |
...and the occasional putdown, as Lauren lords over the
cross-eyed thing again. |
Now Val's concerned. She announces that she has a plan. |
Holly's happy cause it looks like Val's finally getting a
spine. |
She plans to write Vic a nice little report in a neat little
cover. |
But the paper pushing doesn't sit well with Holly, who
thinks the weapons should be a little more blazing. |
Again, Val insists she'll work hard for the promotion. (We
emphasize this too mainly to get more pics of Jennie in the
recap.) |
But Holly is out for blood, and she leaves to think things
over. |
Just back from the Staten Island sideshow is Gary, whose
seen things he will not soon forget. |
Jeff winces when he hears about one of the freaks, a chap
who ate a bucket full of hair. |
He tells Holly about still being able to hear the crunching
sounds. |
Which is a heckuva thing to discuss when people are eating,
after all. |
Holly's in to pick up Val's lunch. Which does not include
human hair. |
Holly describes Val's barracading herself in her office
writing the report. |
Jeff's hoping she's not going to be too much longer because
he's got two tickets to the Knicks-Wizards game. |
It's Michael Jordan's last game in Madison Square Garden
before his next retirement. |
No matter how much Jeff wants to see Jordan's last visit to
New York... |
...Holly wants to see Val get that promotion. |
Holly explains the competition and the gifts that have been
flying around H&D over the course of the day. |
But it's not enough to convince Jeff to give up the tix. |
So Holly gives Jeff a different angle |
No matter if Jeff gives up the tickets, he may still get to
see Michael Jordan... |
...only this time, up close and personal. |
So Jeff gives up the passes to Holly, who passes them on to
Vic in Val's name. |
Day is done, and our star pupil kicks back and tells us what
she's learned. |
Like the right way to greet your
coworkers. |
Vic tells Val he was very impressed by the report. |
Val's happy because it appears that her hard work was
recognized... |
...but then Holly mentions the Knicks-Wizards tickets. |
Val cautions Holly about doing that underhanded stuff... |
...until she learns that it works! |
Or kind of works...Vic announces that Lauren was able to
implement all of Val's good ideas! |
Another setback for Val up the corporate ladder... |
...as Val gets set to let Holly have it for meddling in her
office affairs. |
