They keep teasing Callie coming back and then not showing her. I hope she shows up before the last episode.

Mariana and Evan as co-CEOs was so silly it made me wish we were back at Bulk Beauty. But I guess Evan is getting his memory back?

Davia's play still looks awful. Why are she and the understudy fighting over a part in it?

Gael's plot was okay. Is this doctor/painter his new love interest?

Now, I actually liked Alice's storyline and was glad it was resolved with her team telling her how to manage better and agreeing to try and do better. I can see how it would be really hard for someone in her position to have to come in and take over as manager for people older and more experienced. It would probably not be so easy in real life, but I want good things for Alice.

The thing about Alice is, she should know that the writers are used to network politics. It's not like she pitched herself as their boss. She could have told them: Listen, we're going to be cancelled if we don't bring in younger viewers. They told me the tape I made got them to give us another chance, but if we don't change the tone, we're done. 

You'd think they'd understand that and thank her rather than blame her.

It's awkward, but she had the perfect network exec to blame and you'd think they'd all be at least a little motivated by the idea of keeping their jobs.

I think they would too, and it seemed like they were portraying them like they eventually did. Alice is just bad at confrontation and afraid to be a leader.
