Oh boy, could what Laurens doing in this episode be any more cringey?
It was a circle of trust.
She would let her know when a decision was made.
There are 300 other things you could assume.
Can you tell Im frustrated?
Everything is just feeling a tad too contrived at the moment.
Theres no middle ground here.
Its quite the tragedy.
Kelsey wants to be there for her friend and so advises her to focus on her work.
Liza and Kelsey are looking to sign Fupa (oh,Younger) Grunhof as an author.
Fupa is a 16-year-old Austrian environmental activist and up until now has refused to sign with any publishing house.
Shes basically yelling the entire time and for some reason like so, so mean to her mom?
She also tells Liza and Kelsey that if they publish that guys work, they arent publishing hers.
Lizas lost a lot in the past few days, so shes not letting this one go.
Fupa says shell bend to have [her] voice heard.
And then she turns it all around on Liza.
In her experience, a lot of the advice adults give her is exactly what they need to hear.
Does Liza maybe need to bend in some way, too?
Lizas obviously heartbroken that Charles is treating this like the end of them.
Maggie assures her itll blow over, especially because they see each other all day at work.
How could he not be reminded of his feelings for her?
Liza takes that to heart and tries to flirt and make nice.
Charles isnt cruel to her, but he doesnt seem interested in reconciling, either.
They love each other, they just want different things.
Charles seems like hes already moved on and that makes Liza even more upset.
No last look is not a good sign, Liza.
Go turn the page and find out, Kelsey says, pushing her toward Charles.
Its cheesy as hell but also gave me chills, I guess its just that time of year.
Liza asks Charles if they could maybe compromise here.
Maybe each of them could bend a little.
Charles is not mean, even though Lizas idea is terrible.
But he is firm: He bent when he gave up Empirical for her.
He bent when he had to change his custody agreement because Pauline was so angry about Lizas lie.
If I bend anymore, Im going to break, he says.
It is a devastating line!
Charles is very calm about the whole thing.
He tells her that this is hard but its for the best.
There are no villains here.
It feels like Liza acknowledging for the first time that she might have to move on, too.
Shes like one of the Von Trapp children but hangry.
