Well, well, well, two of our Coterie ladies are getting very honest this week.

For one, it looks like speaking her truth will have long-lasting repercussions.
For the other, it seems like perhaps nothing will (ever) change.
Lets start with the former, Malika.
Malikas finally in therapy!
Then with her therapist, Malikas mouth says something different.
She tells her therapist that shes very confused.
Dyonte is kind and they share a similar life story.
Shes happy to be around him.
Isaac makes her feel safe and loved and he challenges her.
Malika chats it over with her friends.
Does Malika think Isaac would be into it?
And then we see a tearful Malika back in therapy.
But she also wants to continue dating Isaac.
She wants them both.
At the very least, it looks like Malika and Dyonte will be taking things to the next level.
However things shake out, its sure to get uh, complicated.
So whos the other Coterie member speaking the truth tonight?
This causes problems for Alice in two ways.
Ruby claims that Scott actually has a great track record (of HR complaints?
Alice suggests) and has helped launch a lot of careers (and racial stereotypes Alice adds).
Its a troubling argument on so many levels.
Thats translated into not being available whenever Ruby happens to want to hang out.
At first, the plan works.
Alice is in aspot.
Gaels on a real roller coaster of emotions this week, too.
Davia and Gael bring the restorative-justice kids over to Yuris studio and he is so great with them!
Who is this man?
He has them work on a project and lets them ask questions and … imparts some wisdom?
Could this really be Yuri?
He has them to give it a go on one of his own paintings.
They all agree that his painting makes them feelnothing.
Again, good on Yuri, he takes the critique with a smile.
Then the impressionable children leave and Yuri slashes the painting in question with a knife.
Ah, theres our Yuri.
His daughter is his inspiration and he misses her.
Gael tells him to channel everything hes feeling about her into his art.
Yuri thanks his intern for the advice, but seems less than confident in it.
Hed like to come see Gaels art.
This is huge because Gael needs a big-time artists recommendation to get his stuff into any gallery.
And then he hands Gael a sketch and tells him to paint it.
We leave Gael in a very precarious situation.
Family Dinner
Kathleen Gale and Associates (is that what theyre calling themselves?
Thats what Im calling them) is taking on a murder case.
Who do you think is on the prosecution?
Mark is trying to use Jamie to rattle Callie, and it works!
But Callies advised to rattle back and that works, too.
So this should be fun.
Like I said: so much fun!!!
Aw, Callie calls in a favor from Ben (Ben!)
Meanwhile, Jamie asks his boss Mark more about the investigation and Mark says that Kathleens definitely dirty.
Hopefully we get some clarification on that situation soon.
Shes right about both things!
Marianas red lipstick in that Tech team honesty circle is perfect and I worship it.
