zoya researching monet hehe

I didn't like how camille using zoya to show monet a lesson
also why max are you trying to impress audreys dad,should just be himself

good to see eleanor again,didn't like Jennifer that much accusing kiki stealing her designs

Jordan working at a tech store,Georgina causing trouble again,poor kate she missed her chance with Jordan,and that Aki julien was a bad idea glad they didn't go through with it

audrey and julien at it again, julien was only trying to help, gg is turning into a mess

hoping obie going to gg will work in his favour and glad his sis is helping

Okay this was a little bit boring. I don't care about Audrey and she unnerved me the whole episode, especially when she said to Julien that she always blamed others and that made everything about herself. Seriously? The pot calling the kettle black. I was like why don't you shut up, for once? And look at yourself? I wish someone called her out about it, because she really needs to hear that. She didn't get her competitive side from her dad, she got her being unbearable. Julien was surely wrong about sending the tips to GG, but this time she literally didn't know about Jennifer AND she was rightfully snapping at Audrey's cheating dad.

Max trying to impress the dad, honestly...I appreciate the effort, but it was kinda embarassing the way it turned out.

Jobie and the teachers were the only interesting thing of the episode. In this one I felt a liiiiiiiiittle the stupidity of the whole Georgina story, but hey, it's her, I can forgive her Jordan and Kate were cute

Monet, well, I might feel sorry because of the way her mother treats her - that was childinsh, make her daughter jealous with Zoya! - she's alone, indeed. I read a lot of her fans defending her and blaming her mother for that and while I agree about Camille being horrible, as I said, still Monet reaps what she sows. She has no friends because she always treats everyone horribly and if she shows a softer side or helps someone, immediately she made two other mean things to compensate. A person like she's showing to be right now can't have friends, only minions.

Too bad GG agreed to help him after months and now Helena is probably never coming back to the US.

I doubt it I mean it's not like Julien was always in the right, but still Audrey shouldn't act like she never did the same thing, like she even blamed her mother for being depressed! That her (Audrey's) life was ruined because of her! Also she literally spent the whole S1 hating her dad because of what he did and now he's suddenly innocent? Or not so bad anymore?

C'mon.

Exactly. They both have wrongs. I'm not surprised, though, that's how Audrey is since the pilot, so.

Slower ep, & Georgina's involvement wasn't as entertaining, but still a good one. Julien & Audrey need to have a proper discussion, & Audrey needs to stop automatically blaming everyone else. However so does Jordan. Audrey wasn't wrong in what she was saying, even if in this case Julien was a victim. She's obviously making wrong choices in life. Audrey is just insecure & keeps back flipping on everything. She's too focused on wanting the best for her mother (understandably so) that she failed to see what was right in front of her: the two people who broke apart her parents' marriage. Why were they even at the event? Or in town in this very moment? They should've been blocked from entering. Then Jessica couldn't have harmed Kiki & Julien could've made amends. Also proposing after FOUR months when supposedly the affair started after the divorce? Sorry but no. That's alarm bells & too soon, even if they've known each other for years. Julien shouldn't have agreed to speak with Jessica at all. Not without running it past Audrey first. Especially when things were already rocky. That there is all Julien's choices, not Jessica. Jessica is only to blame when it comes to the video & sending it to GG.

Monet may need to be taken down a peg, but not like that. Georgina crossed a line a bit there, but Monet needed to realise that she shouldn't do something like that. She's a two year old throwing a tantrum, but her mother made her do it. Her mother is abusive & what Monet needs is to have someone realise that & save her from it. Maybe if she could experience real love she'd be able to let people in & show it to others. It is no wonder she has walls when the people who should've shown her love & let her in clearly don't. It wouldn't surprise me if she never learned what having a connection with someone really is.

Unfortunately that's not going to happen. What's worse is that she doesn't even consider the idea of possibly being wrong, at least Julien does.

My guess is that since it was a fashion like charity even she was part of it somehow? Even though Eleonor should have know.

She just wanted to help and you'll see in ep 8 that even when Julien will talk to Audrey first, it won't end well AT ALL and not because of Julien.

Monet's mother was even more childish than her 17 daughter. Yeah, I think the same: that she seems to not have real friends or a lover because she has never been show how to love and let people in.

I didn't get the impression she was a part of it. If she was a part of it, why'd she need to launch herself using Kiki's design? I think she knew exactly what she was doing & the only reason she was there was to take Kiki down (& I felt like Audrey's father, whatever his name is, knew it too & simply didn't care)

If Julien wanted to help she should've spoken to Audrey. Yes Jessica lied to Julien so she thought things would be a reveal that nothing happened while Audrey's parents were married. However she still should've involved Audrey instead of doing it behind her back, hoping it would patch things up.

It is a shame for Monet, but she also needs to grow up. Her mother seems to be going about things the wrong way to teach her lessons. Wrong lessons being taught, so only has herself to blame for Monet's actions

Maybe it was said, but I missed it, then. I use english subtitles and these characters talk A LOT and fast

Maybe, but it would have been the same or even worse, I think, as you'll see. Audrey didn't even believed Julien was just trying to help, she's going even to accuse her to try to fix other families just because her own is unfixable (and Julien's mother is dead! How can that be a fault!).

Camille should definitely make some self-crticism! Like if your daughter behaves that way, where do you think she took that model from?
