#broken heart by motion city soundtrack

[terrainofheartfelt]

I'm sorry I have to disagree. When in Rome is Dan's post breakup song for Blair. Because it's musicians Dan would actually listen to imo. Can easily picture a tear rolling down his cheek as he listens on the flight to Rome

Did…did you mean the song “The Promise” by When in Rome? or is it one of the several songs titled “When in Rome” that comes up on the Spotify search function?

If the latter, then please let me know the artist bc I’m now curious and want to listen! If the former…. I don’t really see it. Or hear it, like, When in Rome (the group) sound more like they are to Rufus’ taste. Rufus Humphrey, confirmed Wham! stan, never forget.

But a plurality of music hcs can exist! But I shall continue pushing my own musical agenda on this blog o’ mine. That song bops though.

Either way, we were both wrong on this ask, because Dan’s breakup music is absolutely him listening to Blue on vinyl on repeat ala Jessica Day.

Fuck it, posts my SmallEtho playlist.

Part-Time Soulmate, Full-Time Problem: A SmallEtho/Boat Boys Playlist

(Best listened to on shuffle.)

This is a kinda long playlist (28 tracks), so if you only have time for a few songs, check out: ‘Pyrokenesis’; ‘I Am Fred Astaire’; & ‘Built To Burn.’

Full track list & selected lyrics under cut.

1. Son of a Gun - Motion City Soundtrack

Have you had enough? Are you tough? Are you broken?/Hit me where it hurts, don’t just curtsey & sulk/I know I deserve every elegant word that you’re hurling at me

2. Pyrokenesis - 7chariot

When you say the things you say, they start a little spark/Ignite this small but also highly flammable heart

You’re setting me on fire, I don’t wanna fight it/You don’t need a lighter, you’re a flame/Drowning myself in water only makes it harder/Hard for me to keep myself away

3. Just One Yesterday - Fall Out Boy

I want to teach you a lesson in the worst kind of way/Still I’d trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday

4. Violently Alive - I Hate Kate

I hate that you’re there/And I’m here/In the same room/Miles from me to you/We’re so distant/But close enough to touch

5. Tiger Teeth - Walk The Moon

Give in, give in, I want you back/One heart, one too many to stomach/Love bites so deep and we got tiger teeth

6. It’s Not A Fashion Statement, It’s A Deathwish - My Chemical Romance

Hip-hip-hooray for me, you talk to me/But would you kill me in my sleep?/Lay still like the dead/From the razor to the rosary, we could lose ourselves/And paint these walls in pitchfork red

7. True Romance - Motion City Soundtrack

I’m a screwup of epic proportions/A walking hand grenade/Hyper-manic, a dime store dramatic/A conduit for pain

She said “Don’t speak, don’t think,/Just take it off, take it off”/I said “Don’t speak, don’t think,/Just mess me up, mess me up”

8. Violence - blink-182

Like violence, you have me, forever and after/Like violence, you kill me, forever and after

9. I Am Fred Astaire - Taking Back Sunday

I’m under the assumption that I’m gonna be the one that’s leaving you/Tonight, oh, tonight/Well I flipped every switch that I could find on my way out/Just to upset you more/Just to keep you busy/Just to make you angry/Just because you were right

I’m stuttering through it, but I hear it/Well I-I I hear it’s good t-t-to stick to what you know

10. The Wolf - The Crane Wives

I am not a tempest/I light torches in my sleep/I have gasoline in my veins/I am always burning, burning burning

11. Crave - Waterparks

I’m cravin’ a getaway from the/Smooth talk that’s keeping me grounded/To the carpet in my room/My quiet blue tomb of you

I wish I could forget you

12. Hold Me Like A Grudge - Fall Out Boy

Hold me, hold me like a grudge/The world is always spinning and I can’t keep up/Faster and faster, can’t do it on my own/Part-time soulmate, full-time problem yeah/Hold me like a grudge

13. Formidable - Twenty One Pilots

You are formidable to me/‘Cause you seem to know it, where you wanna go/Yeah yeah yeah I’ll follow you/But you should know/I might be cynical towards you/But I just can’t believe that I’m for you/Yeah yeah yeah I can die with you/Just let me know

14. Play With Fire - Sam Tinnesz feat Yacht Money

I ride the edge/My speed goes in the red/Hot blood, these veins/My pleasure is their pain/I love to watch the castles burn/These golden ashes turn to dirt/I’ve always liked to play with fire

15. Bulletproof Heart - My Chemical Romance

I’ve got a bulletproof heart/You’ve got a hollow point smile/Me and your runaway scars/Got photographed dream on the getaway mile/Let’s blow a hole in this town/And do our talking with a laser beam/Gunnin’ out of this place in a bullet’s embrace/Then we’ll do it again

16. The Truth Is, You Should Lie With Me - Say Anything

You’re a pretty face, you should like me/I want to get used by you/‘Cause I’m full of hate, just excite me/I want to get bruised by you

17. Red - Pale Waves

Oh no baby, are we gonna make it this time?/I always take hearts that shouldn’t be mine, be mine/Slow down baby, are we gonna make it alive?/You’ve got a face that I always recognize/Always recognize

18. Kill V. Maim - Grimes

I did something bad, maybe I was wrong/Sometimes people says that I’m a big time bomb/But I’m only a man/And I do what I can

19. FUNERAL GREY - Waterparks

I said that you can call me, beep me/If you want my skin/She rolled her eyes and then she said/“I know your dying wish is to be baptized in my spit”

20. Shiver - Motion City Soundtrack

Shiver away, I thought the action was real/Somewhere I know that’s just the way you are/it’s hard to believe that you’re a part of me/And I can’t believe when you carry on and on

21. Kiss With A Fist - Florence + The Machine

My black eye casts no shadow/Your red eye sees nothing/Your slaps don’t stick, your kicks don’t hit/So we remain the same/Love sticks, sweat drips/Break the lock if it don’t fit/A kick to the teeth is good for some/A kiss with a fist is better than none

22. Mr. Brightside- The Killers

It started out with a kiss/How did it end up like this/It was only a kiss/It was only a kiss

23. Tear You Apart - She Wants Revenge

Escape was just a nod and a casual wave/Obsess about it heavy for the next two days/It’s only just a crush, it’ll go away/It’s just like all the others, it’ll go away/Or maybe this is danger and he just don’t know/You pray it all away, but it continues to grow

24. Can You Feel My Heart (Remix) - Bring Me The Horizon, Jeris Johnson

I’m scared to get close/And I hate being alone/I long for that feeling to not feel at all

Holding on, bring me close, feel my heart/Can you feel my heart?

25. Built To Burn - Shaffer James

We’ll build a world/And burn it down/Everything is pretty/When we burn it to the ground

26. Hatef—k - The Bravery

There will be no tenderness, no tenderness/I will show no mercy for you/You had no mercy for me/The only thing that I ask/Love me mercilessly

27. Stupid For You - Waterparks

You’re playing ring around my head/I’ll wear you like a halo/You’re a symphony/I’m just a sour note/I’ll take what I can get/The best is hard to grip when everybody wants you/And everybody wants you

28. My Obsession - Pale Waves

I’m stood still, I can barely breathe/You’re such a mess but you’re always beautiful to me/Run your fingers across my mouth/I’m not prepared to stay here without you

Quote from Motion City Soundtrack's Broken Heart

[batgirlsay]

Misplaced Arrows

"In Love with the Mark" Playlist for Obiyuki Trope Madness 2023 by @snowwhite-andtheknight

Initially tried to make an all Motion City playlist with early assassin Obi vibes and then included a few other songs to fill in the blanks. The songs transition from the usual Obi self-doubt as he falls for her to realizing he can’t follow through with his assigned task by the two songs from “Even If It Kills Me.”

Misplaced Arrows

Broken Arrow- Motion City Soundtrack Gravity- Motion City Soundtrack We Dreamt in Heist- Anberlin I Can Feel You- Motion City Soundtrack The Samurai Code- Motion City Soundtrack Can’t Finish What You Started- Motion City Soundtrack Even If It Kills Me- Motion City Soundtrack You Kill Me- Paper Route

Summary lyrics are cited below the cut:

Broken Arrow- Motion City Soundtrack

How many times do you lose what you find? Does your shadow keep bringing you down?

Everywhere you go I follow You treat me like a broken arrow

Torn from the page like a knife cuts the rain Every instinct screams "where are you now?"

There's a love for valediction When you're stranded on the shore

Our lives are intertwined You learn to live, you learn to die

Gravity- Motion City Soundtrack

I didn't want to be the anchor in your heart I only wanted you to notice me

Sometimes it carries you out Sometimes it buries you under It's not the weight of the world It's just the way that I am

We Dreamt in Heist- Anberlin

We'll stay here until someone falls in their own snare I had this planned all along, and I brought you here for this So tie your mask on and pretend that nothing's wrong

And I'll try to stay awake as long as I can And I'll try to stay here, here with you

This is a black market reformation How does it feel to be under the gun? Last ones to laugh pull the trigger here on the run You can hide the money, I'll mark an X I'm above the law and you're the order You make everything make sense

I Can Feel You- Motion City Soundtrack

All this time I've wasted Waiting for the world to end

Dizzy indecision Veering off the open road Anchors away Lack of infrastructure

There's nowhere to hide Oh, where do I go? Get back in the cage Just keep me away I'm staggering

Easy to resemble Hard to learn the workings of This lonesome charade I'm filled with hesitation Staring down the tide

It pulls you apart It stabs in the dark It carries away

I never know who I am I only know what I'm not It doesn't make any sense It doesn't further the plot

I never learned how to love I only learned how to fight I only see in the dark But never get through the night

I've got a flurry of words But I've got nothing to say I try hard to let go but the pull is too great Consumed with the promise

The Samurai Code- Motion City Soundtrack

I had a dream now it's gone So I'm going it alone today Trapped all the driftwood thoughts I'd rather just ignore

I had a plan but it turned Now I'm bleeding it the other way Can't quit, lost cause, non-stop Anywhere but here

I tried to run from the thought, it unraveled me And here I stayed

Finding the time to embrace each moment Shouldn't be hard, it's the hardest thing

I'd like to anchor some day I'd like to anchor and stay

Can’t Finish What You Started- Motion City Soundtrack

Why can't you finish what you've started? Why can't you try and understand? It doesn't make a bit of difference if you start what you can't finish Every story needs an ending, after all

I think I've known it for a long time Suffice to say, it's been a while You're too afraid to face the outcome Quite likely, you're a failure

I thought of all the things I'd like to say Cramped up and couldn't write a word all day I'm just waiting for my world to fall apart That's why I'll never finish anything I start

Adaptation and retribution If you truly do believe in something Somehow it all works out

Even If It Kills Me- Motion City Soundtrack

I'm not saying that I'm giving up I'm just trying not to think As much as I used to Cause never is a lonely little messed up word Maybe I'll get it right some day

For the first time in a long time I can say that I want to try I feel helpless for the most part But I'm learning to open my eyes And the sad truth of the matter is I'll never get over it but I'm gonna try To get better and overcome Each moment in my own way

I sure want to get back on track And I'll do whatever it takes Even if it kills me

You Kill Me- Paper Route

Hold your head up, dear I’m the one who's wounded here But I love you still the same

There’s patterns on the floor When I can't look at you anymore That's when you look at me

You pull me down, underneath In my head, I can't breathe I can't sleep, I can't dream And I can't stop loving you kill me

[spiltcandycoatedpunkblood]

19, 22 & 27 for song asks!!!

thanks so much!! i couldn't pick, so i have a couple or so for each of them (song lyrics put down from each song respectively)

19. A song that makes you think about life

Not to make it feel bleak, but I have two that are both like that considering my general outlook on things currently: House on a Hill by The Pretty Reckless (it's pretty much about how those that have come before us higher up end up controlling the narrative and society in general even centuries later to have such a stranglehold; and yes, I can tell you, I do sadly think and worry about the children all the time, especially now in many facets of how they are treated in society), and Hello Helicopter by Motion City Soundtrack (feels like seeing from a birds' eye view of the corruption of society and both asking and lamenting with disillusionment at what has happened, which is definitely how I've ended up after the anger subsides in our current world).

Somewhere in the end we're all insane To think a light ahead can save us from this Grave that's in the end of all this pain In the night ahead there's a light up on this

House on a hill The living, living still Their intention is to kill and they will, they will But the children are doing fine I think about them all the time Until they drink the wine and they will, they will, they will

----

In several years no one will care They'll be rich and dead So let somebody else devise a cure for it I'm not saying anything you haven't heard before I'm just trying to understand the way we are

Nobody seems to care Nobody ever learns Hello helicopter, are you here to stay? Bodies rest in motion fighting night and day Well, it's kill or be killed And one day we'll get the best of them Hello helicopter, are you listening? Nobody seems to care Nobody ever learns

Are we ever gonna get it right? Are we ever gonna start making sense And stop pretending that we care?

22. A song that moves you forward

Two songs in particular do this to me. Alone In A Room by Asking Alexandria (I still have yet to admit to a lot of feelings out of fear and shame, but this was really a motivating factor that got this song to hit me - especially alongside the acoustic version that really hits a nerve with a level of desperation, and really nailed a lot of feelings on what's happened to me and what I feel I do to myself and how I feel about life in general) and Even If It Kills Me by Motion City Soundtrack (a song about the general tiredness and unhappiness with life and a reflection on a new perspective on how to still keep going in your own way regardless).

All I needed was the last thing I wanted To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud Every moment, every second, every trespass Every awful thing, every broken dream A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage Banging my head 'gainst the wall, tryna put words on a page All I needed was the last thing I wanted To be alone in a room, alone in a room

I can be better than I was I can be better than I am All I needed was the last thing I wanted To sit alone in a room

----

But I'm too tired to go to sleep tonight And I'm too weak to follow dreams tonight For the first time in a long time I can say That I want to try to get better and Overcome each moment In my own way

I'm not saying that I'm giving up I'm just trying not to think as much as I used to Cause "never" is a lonely little messed up word Maybe I'll get it right some day For the first time in a long time I can say That I want to try I feel helpless for the most part But I'm learning to open my eyes And the sad truth of the matter is I'll never get over it But I'm gonna try To get better and overcome each moment In my own way

27. A song that breaks your heart

I have a few. Especially on people I've lost. Used To by Daughtry (though more of a relationship song, it still feels relevant to me and lays out a lot about me and my sister and my complex feelings around still not having spoken to her and how she's behaving - it's not so much pleading, but asking why she's doing this and what happened to her), Amelia by Tonight Alive (though about the death of a 16 year old, there is a lot here that feels relevant to people I've lost, especially a friend who sadly died at 11 and for some reason I've never really been able to get over; there are others I have, but the feel and sound of this song really hits in particular for her) and We Are The Others by Delain, in particular the acoustic one that REALLY touches a nerve with the strings and Charlotte Wessels' voice (an anti-conformist song especially dedicated to Sophie Lancaster, who was beaten to death, whilst her boyfriend was severely injured - it was very much presumed that the attack was incredibly aggravated by them being heavily involved in the goth subculture - and which took place in the UK in August 2007, and diving more into it and attacks like this really rips my soul in half).

We used to have this figured out We used to breathe without a doubt When nights were clear, you were the first star that I'd see We used to have this under control We never thought, we used to know At least there's you, and at least there's me Can we get this back? Can we get this back to how it used to be?

I look around me And I want you to be there 'Cause I miss the things that we shared Look around you It's empty and you're sad 'Cause you miss the love that we had

You used to talk to me like I was the only one around The only one around

----

And you will always be perfect You'll always be beautiful Our hearts will never forget you You didn't belong here And it's become so clear why heaven called your name And it just doesn't seem right Was it really your time, are we dreaming? We'll never let go of you Wish you were here but it's becoming clear That earth's just not the place for an angel like you

----

I'm walking with Sophie tonight She lives in the air that I breathe I can't get it out of my mind How you were left to bleed Was it how you dressed? Or how you act? I can't believe How they could act so violently Without regret We will not forget

🎶✨when you get this you have to put 5 songs you actually listen to, publish, then send this ask/tag 10 of your favourite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool) 🎶✨

tagged by @wellhalesbells and this time i’m ditching my usual habit of sucking at doing the things i’m tagged in just for her.

1. Fix You by Coldplay

this song has a really long history for me, but it’s always been a fallback in moments where i feel a little helpless about a situation. it is also rude as shit that 9-1-1 just used it in an episode, i didn’t need another reason to cry over this shit.

2. The Only Exception by Paramore

i think the theme of this list is songs that mean something to me for one reason or another. i mean the lyrics aren’t that hard to figure out, but it’s important to me and i love it a lot. 

3. Broken Heart by Motion City Soundtrack

there was a solid like three year period of my life where it felt like all of my friends were moving forward and finding people and settling down and i was just like... hey? i’m still here? and this song sort of just summed that up for me i guess. plus Even if it Kills Me is their best album, i will die on this hill. this song is also far more upbeat than i’m advertising.

4. I Will by Matchbox Twenty

matchbox twenty was my first concert when i was 13 and i’ve loved them ever since, but i love this song maybe more than any other. it’s just really sweet and i’ve always wanted to write a fic inspired by it but just haven’t found the right...anything else to do it.

5. When We Die by Bowling for Soup

guys i just really love Bowling for Soup and every time i hear the line “and i know that we’re gonna be fine” each time the chorus comes around i just feel a little better for some reason. plus, The Great Burrito Extortion Case is a fantastic album title. 10/10 no notes.

i’m bad at tagging people so if you see this, please do it!

“I’ll destroy this useless heart

I’ll fuck it up so it’ll never beat again

Not just for me but for anyone

But I get carried away

with every phrase and made up malady.

The longer I hide behind these lies,

The more I disintegrate.

So much to say

But no words to convey

The loneliness building with each passing day

But I never get used to it, you just have to live with it”

Broken Heart by Motion City Soundtrack

"High Heels in the High Seas," S3 E10

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 3 Episode 10 Recap

My Title: Actually, I think Bravo nailed it with theirs!

My rating: 4 out of 5 unpaid Polynesian dancers

Support for Lisa Barlow: Very strong

<><><>

Meredith Marks seems to have lost all of her principles. Her confessionals this episode include some sound observations and one (1) Authentically Iconic Moment, but among the women she just wordlessly clinks around in the manner of a bejeweled wind-chime.

It she who first sees the Pucci tempest looming over the horizon of the Pacific Ocean — Jen Shah's on-coming meltdown aboard their afternoon boat ride — and even expresses concern, but not enough to do anything or tell anybody.

Heather Gay said it best: You're either Jen's ride or die bestie, or you're on her "houses to burn down" list.

We open on a yacht divided. On the bow or whatever we have Team Good Angie, AKA Team It's Insane To Pour Champagne On Your Friends. On the stern or whatever we have Jen about to combust and Heather fanning the flames. Heather of course brings up how Lisa is on Good Angie's side. What is it called when a random plume of lava erupts from the surface of the sun? That is what happens to Jen when she hears this news item.

"You didn't even give me the respect of coming to me and saying, 'Jen, are you OK?'" says Jen. Here is what that would have looked like: Lisa walking up to Jen and saying, "Hey babe, I hear you didn't get the best bedroom in the house on this trip. My heart is broken for you. If there is anything in the world I can do for you in this difficult time, please tell me." ???

The topic of whether or not the other ladies are "intimidated" by Jen comes up in another confessional.

[BK's Take: I don't think they're intimidated. But I think they're defensively triggered by her conflict style. Challenge Jen, and she will escalate by at least 100%. Logic and reason are slippery grips for Jen, but her voice is a weapon she can wield.]

Whatever! I'm sure she won't be a problem. Let's have some drinks!

Kimmy on the beat!

Cheers!

Filling sexxxy!

Jen arrives on the scene and the soundtrack makes that very dramatic sound. Whitney shows her the above pose and says "Even a white girl with no ass can twerk!" Everybody is trying to cheer up Mad Mommy. I did not even catch what Jen said to Lisa, but Lisa is suddenly striding up to her, asking to have a conversation.

Jen does not want one. Instead she is like I would never do that to you! and You need to be consistent! And Lisa is saying What did I do? and I'm a good friend to you! Soon Jen's words become clipped and she starts just saying Do that! Do that! Lisa is undeterred. Jen flings a grocery store crudite platter into the sea, but she calls it a charcuterie.

(Love this screenshot -- looks like a painting of Jen tossing a cherry tomato to a parrot in motion!)

Lisa says: "Jen, you can't throw food."

Jen says: "I can throw whatever the [fuck?] I want." And then she sits down slightly farther away.

Meanwhile the others are turning up.

Lisa has had enough of Jen and the two devolve into screaming. Heather splits them. The group disperses and seems to make new spontaneous arrangements.

Lisa storms off, with Angie, Meredith, and the irrelevant Danna no offense in tow. Whitney joins Heather and Jen but is nauseated to see the two being jolly. She goes to join Lisa's group and immediately starts preaching about authenticity or whatever, which causes Meredith to be nauseated and move to group Jen. A yacht divided once again.

I OOPed when Meredith, in her confessional, called Whitney "little girl." !!!!! This is the Authentically Iconic Moment to which I was referring. Thanks Mare!

Group Jen is laughing, having a ball, when Heather playfully suggests they toss Angie's handbag in the ocean. Almost immediately she realizes this was a bad idea. Jen is like, Where's her bag? Heather and Meredith are laughing with their teeth bared.

Instead Jen seizes on a pair of shoes, asks whose they are, apparently doesn't need a full answer, and tosses them into the Great San Diego Bay.

Then she picks up another pair. Heather recognizes them as Whitney's and tries to stuff them in her purse immediately, but she only saves one — Jen chucks the other one starboard.

Jen seems a little bit wasted.

A producer alerts Team Lisa that there are shoes floating around them. Everybody returns to do an inventory of their footwear. Whitney is down one, but there's another full pair missing. Angie wonders if they are hers, and Jen loudly denies it. Of course, they are:

Jen immediately pleads innocence. (!)

Then she says it was clearly an accident. (Footage is replayed to show her throwing the shoes)

There is no altercation. Maybe everybody is sleepy? The boat solemnly pulls into harbor, having also somehow never left.

The ladies return to the house to get ready for dinner. Jen takes a drunk nap in the sprinter. Heather FaceTimes her BFF Bad Angie. I wonder if Jen will find out their friendship is going strong. "This is a girl's trip, not a women's trip!" Heather says. She's saying everybody is mean.

Jen's glam team prepares her, and then she reveals to the women that she has hired a Polynesian band and dancers. I do wonder about the billing of it all...

She also hired strippers!

But soon it's time to address the "off" "energy." Danna decides she is the woman to do it. And, to her credit, she kind of does: All Danna says is that Jen doesn't seem very nice to people. She uses the two famous Angie's as examples — one is Jen's friend, the other is her sworn enemy, and Danna has seen her cuss both out. (On the same day!) Danna takes it one step further and calls Heather out: Didn't you say the other day you were gonna stop fuxing with Jen Shah?

[BK's Take: It seems Bravo's Hand is trying to fill a Mary Cosby-sized void with all of the Friend Ofs this season. Unfortunately I've yet to see a true star emerge. But I am grateful to Ms Danna for igniting this particular conflict in a way I cannot wait to see blaze!]

And it's true that she did kind of say that. Heather is now in the hot seat. But Heather is a powerful opponent and quickly silences Danna. When Angie questions Heather's friendship to Jen, Heather reminds her that Jen threw her shoes into the ocean hours ago — does she really consider herself equipped to counsel on friendship?

(Also did we get the shoes back? Are they gone? If so, should that be a bigger deal?)

Then Lisa enters the ring.

She has had it. Because she remembers a recent afternoon spent in a hot tub where Jen said this about Heather:

So why has Lisa become the object of their ire?

Jen seems to not remember her and Lisa's altercation on the yacht that afternoon. Meredith finds this concerning, but of course doesn't come to Lisa's (or anyone's) aid during the conversation, preferring to purse her lips in silence. At one point Jen says "You guys are so fucked up." Actually, nobody, except for Danna (and the cameras) corroborate Lisa's account. Not even defend her -- just say that it happened!

Lisa decides to give a brief inventory of Jen's transgressions, starting from the champagne incident with Angie. Stunningly, Jen looks across the table at Angie, eyes nearly wet with remorse, and says, "It was a bad joke, I'm sorry."

Lisa is like, fuck that, let's stay on task: You had a lot to say about Heather in Whitney's hot tub.

Angie is like, You need to tell us how you feel.

The music begins to swell as Jen explains how, at the auditions for Heather's choir, she was stunned to see Angie (who's fat fucking Elf on the Shelf husband started the @shahexposed finsta account) show up. Heather says, well, I didn't know they were going to show up--

Whitney says, Yes you did!

Heather says, I WASN'T FINISHED, show up in costume with red gloves...

Let's review. Heather is friends with Angie Harrington, who Jen hates. Heather thinks this is fine and in fact, if given an ultimatum about who she can be friends with, has said she would drop Jen. Now they are at dinner and she is doing a clumsy job of downplaying her friendship with Angie (for Jen) and sticking by her self-stated ethics (for basically everybody else.)

The sound effects are going crazy. Jen's voice is breaking. Even though you know it's coming, it takes you by rapture, like watching an angel descend from heaven to claim your soul: Jen asks Heather if she'll stand beside the @shahexposed bitch.

And Heather says: Yep.

Heather identifies Angie's other disciples at the table — Whitney, Danna, and Meredith — and wonders if they will be judged in kind.

"What can I do?" Heather says.

"Not be friends with Angie Harrington."

"K, I'm not gonna do that," Heather says.

Jen is of course livid. She's not giving anyone an ultimatum! She "just needs to know where people stand." Sobbing, she says the only person at that table who truly has her back is... Angie K.?

The entire group is stunned to hear this. The producers even scored it with a kind of goofy violin interlude.

I guess so!

This revelation signals the end of the dinner. Lisa storms off, and so does Heather. Then Jen goes, and the remaining women finally accept the party is over. It is Meredith who leaves holding Jen's hair extensions, but I think it should have been Heather, who slayed her this evening. BK's Take, Final: Jen was at no point enjoyable to watch this episode. Also, will someone please come to Lisa Barlow's aid???

Next week is our last day of this interminable San Diego trip, and there's a Marilyn Monroe-themed costume dinner. I'm excited!

If you made it this far, thanks for reading! —BK
