Last we met with the People's Revolution crew they were still short staffed and trying to get new clients to make up for lost revenue. Kelly's company has been hit hard by the recession and puts the staff on notice about making sure that they get payment on jobs prior to the job. The bills are stacking up and so getting more clients to make more money is the goal. Robyn is looking for a replacement for lispy-lisp. Michelle recommends a former co-worker of hers named Mallory - she doesn't look to enthusiastic to me when accepting the offer but she says she's excited and takes the job.
We get a look inside Skinner's life and visit her closet- oh I mean- apartment which is about the size of a closet. And guess what?!? Skinner has a boyfriend- Skinner has a boyfriend! I'm so glad this girl has a tiny semblance of a life outside of the People's Revolution office.
George Wayne- a writer for Vanity Fair comes to office to talk to the team about helping out with a big event for the magazine. He is a friend of Kelly's and wants this project done for free in 4 days no less. The team talks to Kelly about it and she says in no uncertain terms- HELL NO! You can't have a viable business by constantly doing things for free- period. No freebies people.
So the new hire Mallory ends up on Page 6 of the NY Post for stealing jewelry from a former employer- yikes. There goes that new hire. Skinner isn't too happy because no new body means more time at the office for her and less time spent with her "boo". Skinner goes out for drinks and Emily somehow ends up on the date- Emily I think that's weird and a bit inappropriate.
Kell is off to the Los Angeles office to look for some new business opportunities and Robyn is still interviewing. Robyn meets Grace, who came highly recommended, and Robyn is ready to hire her.
Once in LA Kelly meets with a music industry friend of hers about another business venture and she're ready to move ahead.
Meanwhile in the NY office work continues. Skinner and Andrew go for a walk and talk about the lack of balance between work and life- she spends more time with Andrew then she does her boyfriend.
Kelly meets up with her friend Rick Ross- owner of Delicious Vinyl. They go to Freak City an "everything" space and we learn that Kelly used to tour with "The Brand New Heavies" - who knew? Not really surprising though because creative people do all sorts of creative things.
She goes to the LA office and she wants to decrease overhead and increase revenue. An intern in the LA office interviews Kelly and she believes that the recession has made people to re-evaluate everything about fashion and people are just not going to spend 2,000 dollars on a pair of pants anymore. No surprise there.
At home in NY Grace begins her new life- or lack thereof- at People's Revolution. Kelly is happy to have Grace around and so is everybody else. Kelly plans on renting out the 2nd floor of the building to a friend and now the team has the task of moving all the stuff. Skinner and Andrew assess the situation and everybody is just working together. Grace leaves the office at some point- because when asking Skinner if there was anything else that she needed help with and Skinner says no. Emily tells on Grace and Kelly screams on Skinner. It turns into a huge blowout. Grace gets called back into the office because Kelly tells her to come back. Kelly clears things up quickly- "we stay till the end". I'm usually on Kelly's side but this was made into a big deal for no reason- but I guess if it's your company and you're paying the new girl $70,000 a year you want to make sure that your money is being invested wisely.
Kelly talks to Skinner about her boyfriend who no longer wants to be her boyfriend because Skinner is a workaholic. I hope it's worth it Skins! Andrew really helps Skinner keep her sanity so it's sweet of him.
So we have one more episode left with Kell and the gang. '
Will People's Revolution go out with a bang? Will Grace return next week. Until next time...
