Awesome episode. More of the main characters are introduced including Erica's extremely mean boss, Julianne.

9.5

"Superb"

By IdeaBender, Feb 03, 2009

This was the best episode so far. Erica's new boss, Julianne, is one of those characters you just love to hate. This episode was extremely funny and satisfying.

Reciting Britney Spear's "Baby One More Time" was hilarious, because us, as the audience, we know the song. The fact that Lozar thought it was genius poetry was great. Lozar's character was also very well played.

There was also a lot of good character development in this. It's a shame that people that judge new shows by the first three episodes, because this was the best episode so far. Can't wait to see what comes next!moreless

- Erica: Seems most of the time we walk around with the world on mute. But when you're on the cusp of something dramatic and maybe life changing its like a filter comes off and suddenly everything comes alive, and even the smallest moment is in-viewed with the magic of possibility and you think this is the night when you drop your mask and reveal your true self, this is the night when everything is re-written.
