Sharpen those knives because I am coming for Erin Mew Mew Lichy.
(Maybe I liked it so much because they all dog-piled on Erin, but you tell me.)
Then Ubah snatches the glasses.
If Im being honest, I would have been just as upset as Erin.
Erin says, This is the worst conflict Ive ever had in my life.
In your whole life?
She never got in a barn burner with one of her four siblings?
Have you ever seen sisters fight?
Its worse than this.
What about her and Abe?
Theyve never had a knockdown drag out over someone not wiping up their kids pee from the hardwood floor?
The moment she comes up against an obstacle she folds into tears.
Why would she even bother when its so much easier to just walk into Loewe and pay full price?
Jenna says this is horrendously petty, and she is correct that is what Iloveabout it.
Theyre like, Can you believe people would shout in a restaurant?
(Didnt you know?
Elvis is alive and making the best rum punches in Anguilla.)
It was kind of cute to see her showing off her old skills.
I love her for this (and I hate her because I could never pull this off).
Brynn is a little miffed, but kind of gets over it.
Not, Sorry I called you a social climber; that was months ago before I knew you better.
Instead, shes like, You knew that!
This is what I really cant stand about Erin.
(Well, it is one among a million things.)
Basically, when Erin is not in charge, she bolts.
Sai wants all the drama to end, and it could if Erin says, It was a prank.
It would make my life so much easier.)
Sai realizes what she says is true but doesnt think it applies to this specific situation.
Its interesting to hear what Brynn says.
Why shouldnt Ubah and Brynn be allowed to yell?
Erin gets to yell and cry and pout and no one talks about how she is behaving.
Why is it a problem with Ubah now?
Im not saying this all has to do with race.
Im not saying that anyone at that table is a racist or that their fight had racial components.
These biases have a habit of coming out in moments of stress like this.
For instance, when Erin says to Ubah, Talk to me like a normal friend.
But she cant do that.
No accountability for Erin.
Only Sauvignon Blanc and a husband who (of course!)
loves the Grateful Dead.
Erin really missed out on lunch though because we finally found out that Brynn has a job.
Were 11 episodes into this season, and we just now hear Brynn talking about her job in PR.
What is that niche, exactly?
When the ladies get back home, it really kicks off.
What probably upset Erin was being likened to a fast-food joint rather than the jaw comment.
When the women return, Erin sees Ubah.
Come, like she is talking to a fucking dog.
Maybe this is why Erin is talking to Ubah like this.
But also she has lived in America long enough to know not to talk to people like that.
This is when you see the tone policing very clearly.
As they discuss the disagreement, Erin tells Ubah, Dont talk to me in a condescending way.
Um, you literally just ordered her to your side like shes a dog.
Then Ubah tells Erin she wants to explain why she feels this way, and Erin says, Why?
with so much condescension dripping off it creates a bigger puddle than her kids pee.
Erin is not willing to give others the courtesy that she demands of them.
I find that appalling.
The fight breaks down when Ubah cant find her phone.
We must briefly mention Jessels list against Erin, which is the best thing I have ever seen.
But, again, I think Erin needed this.
I think she needed to see that she doesnt come across to people as she thinks she does.
When Ubah tries to make another point, she shouts, Shut up!
You are such a bitch.
This is how Erin gets it to stop, with her soft, subtle white-woman tears.
No one is saying she went too far by calling her a bitch.
She tells Erin, You do talk a lot of shit.
Erin again denies it until, finally, admitting that she talks shit.
She offers Ubah a generalized apology but not one for anything specific.
No such consideration from Little Miss Ralph Lauren Home.
