I shall try my best to recap tonight's episode, because I had a major, major headache about my son's school bag and SM Megamall—and that deserves a post of its own.

So basically now all the kids are out of the show.
Gelai (Bea Alonzo) and Enchong Dee are at Greenbelt 5's Fashion Walk to watch a show of Vera Couture (aka, Angel Aquino).
Nakakatakot ang mga mowdel! Ayaw ni Kelly Cutrone! She would have a major fit!!

So after the show Gelai overhears that Vera is looking for a new design assistant, so she makes it a point to apply for the job in person. Upon getting there (Vera's office is at the One School in Makati), she finds out that she needs to bring a sample of her work and come back.
But not before witnessing Vera's entrance, a la Meryl Streep in "The Devil Wears Prada" where everyone's practically shaking in terror.



Gelai goes home to her screaming bitch whale of a mom (Arlene Muhlach) and proceeds to sew her sample.
The following day she rushes out to her job interview, but not before being stopped for a kiss and hug by her adoptive father, whom I boldly predict will die—because that's what happens to nice dads in telenovelas.
Gelai takes a jeep to Vera's design studio where Vera has two gay bungling assistants, one of whom is my friend RS Francisco!

Gelai sits in a classroom with other applicants while Vela begins the interrogation. The first question she throws out is, "What was your inspiration?"
One applicant who could barely speak English said she was inspired by New York and her studies at "Parzun" School of Design while the other one said she was inspired by "the paintings of Vincent van Gow and Jackson Palak."



Gelai is highly intimidated by the girls who were obviously "more sophisticated" than her.
When Vera asks what inspired her, Gelai could only mutter, "my inspiration is my family...."
Hearing her lame answer the two bungling gays show her the door, but Vera is touched wants to hear more. Gelai spills some sentimental crap about the hum of the sewing machine, memories of her mom and sister and shit like that, and then when Vera sees her actual sample, she shows her the door.

Next scene, Victoria the older sister (aka Gretchen Barretto) is somewhere abroad wearing sexy lingerie while packing her red Goyard trunk. Her gay benefactor is now played by Robert Arevalo, but we are very confused because why is he watching her pack in her undies? Are they lovers or sewing mates?
Victoria tells him she is packing because it's time to go home.

They arrive at NAIA 2 with tons of Louis Vuitton and Goyard luggage which are real, while Gretchen Barretto channels Victoria Beckham in her sunglasses and fuchsia crocodile Birkin.

(Take note that in "Desperate Housewives" Eva Longoria only uses fake Louis Vuitton luggage.
Take note: ang totoong mayaman hindi bulok ang LV luggage.)

Victoria is swarmed by the media, particularly reporter Phoemela Barranda.
Asked what it feels like to be back, Victoria removes her sunglasses revealing unmoving facial features and says, "It feels....fabulous...."
While not too far away, a skinhead on a motorbike watches, and it is....Derek Ramsey.
