This one is a very special episode, because finally Valerie "cupcake" Cherish punched nerve-racking producer of "Room & Bored" on his fat belly. This is my dream for a while to kick the ass of Paulie G and it is accomplished firstly in a classy way, after something gross happened. Paulie G had been doing tequila shots and eating pizza like a pig while shooting scenes for Valerie and in punching scene, these solid and liquid in his stomach came out and then Valerie threw up but it was so funny, i laughed so hard!

Valerie still faces some difficulties of being faded out in show-biz and she is so jealous of Juna but she is so right to feel that way because she was Juna. Valerie had a stalker, too but now she plays a role of Juna's guidance through being sitcom star!moreless
