Because this isnt just a pop-culture callout.

At the pub, Yasmin and Celeste drink endless martinis.

When Kenny tries to join them, Yasmin chews him out.

Celeste balks a bit at her reaction but turns the conversation to their mounting sexual tension.

Unlike Yasmin in season one, Celeste wants to address things head-on.

Hence her getting Yasmin to admit that she masturbates while thinking of Celeste.

The glass of water quickly turns into extensive, extremely hot sex.

Except it turns out things arent quite as transgressive as Yasmin seems to think.

Yasmins face falls; suddenly shes not as special as she thought she was.

Back in the office, Yasmin gathers her things from her desk to go upstairs to private wealth.

Do I sense a little wistfulness?

Is Gus the only truly, innately good person on this show?

Maybe, but it doesnt look like hell get to stay in local politics after all.

At the confirmation, Guss sister changes her tune and tells him its time to stop dancing.

Now, about Harper.

Basically, this means Harpers advice to Jesse was very, very wrong.

Harper says she had some personal things, but Jesse is beyond having any sympathy.

(Did he ever have any sympathy?)

Jesse leaves, but DVD can tell something is up, though Harper refuses to tell him whats wrong.

taken to New York.

Fast Aid continues to tick up, and Harper goes outside for a smoke break to blow off steam.

Who should be there but her former mentor-tormentor Eric, who is having a crisis.

Eric counters by saying that his defeat is his responsibility, yes, but also DVDs.

To me, it appears more like Eric is sowing seeds of discord between Harper and DVD.

Eventually, Fast Aid comes off its high.

This is where I stop being able to follow exactly what is happening financially, but it doesnt matter.

Harper seems not to care.

Her plan to turn Jesse a profit fails.

Sometimes I forget just how young Harper really is.

I realized she sounds like Eric here talking a big game about the first flush of a new career.

But I dont think that has ever been what Jesse wants from Harper.

Its not so much about the money as it is a game of financial-emotional chicken.

Do you know what else isnt a surprise?

The person Harper turns to in her moment of need: her twisted pseudo-father figure, Eric.

She enters his office and asks if together, the two of them are worth a bid away.

I guess Harper and Eric are taking their show on the road!

Loose Change

Brava to the costume designers.

What book is Eric reading in his office?

I tried to zoom in on that but couldnt get a close enough look.
