btw. Keeley Jones is VERY good at her PR job, btw. This isn't even in discussion. A venture capital firm offered out of the blue to finance her opening a business when she hadn't even presented a business proposal, just on the basis of the freelance work she'd been doing on the side in the past year

Yeah, she's used to working on her own and bad at being someone's boss, and needed a learning curve for that. But she IS good at PR.

One thing I’ve really grown to like about Keeley’s KJPR storyline is the gradual change in her relationship with Barbara. Like, Barbara in the beginning was obviously very condescending towards Keeley and treated her like she was an idiot. Her behavior with Shandy was so demeaning and almost as nasty as Shandy’s own attitude. Then as things went on and Barbara started to see what a good boss Keeley actually is, and began to understand her a bit more, Jack and Keeley still spoke about her like she was the butt of a joke, “I tried to pick the most sensitive, empathetic person I know,” “should we invite Barbara over, mess it all up?,” even their little smirky glances at each other when Barbara was making comments at the football match were designed to make fun of her. It was like Keeley and Jack were in the cool girls club while Barbara was continually the loser on the outside.

Yet, even when they weren’t being kind to one another it still felt real? Like one thing I haven’t loved in general this season is that when characters mess up, they’ve quickly devolved into caricatures (e.g., Shandy) and their mistakes feel ridiculous instead of genuine. This however felt true to the way people, even good people, can dismiss one another so quickly for not being like them. The way we talk about each other in little, unkind ways that add up.

But then in the last episode, when Keeley extends her olive branch, she calls Barbara fun. And it’s just so genuine and wonderful? Like, she notably wasn’t just thanking Barbara for being competent or hard working or organized or anything about her as an employee, all the praise Barbara surely has always received. She was saying, “I like you as a person and I like being around you and I would like to be your friend” and Barbara quitting her job to come work for Keeley was her saying “I trust you as my boss and I know you are competent at your job.” The parts of each other they weren’t able to see in the beginning are what brings them back together in the end. I think that’s so lovely.

Barbara: Hooray, he's kicked the ball. The ball's over there now.

Keeley: That guy has it now. That's an interesting development. Maybe he'll kick the ball?

Barbara: He has indeed. And apparently and apparently that deserves a round of applause

Keeley: How long do football matches last?

Barbara: A billion hours, apparently.

Keeley “Jamie fucking Tartt, you’re dating my business partner!?!”

Jamie “…uh no?”

Keeley “She said you took her to a club and gave her the best night of her life and she loves you!”

Jamie “I took her to Beard’s underground fight club. You can only get in on recommendation of a member. One guy broke his nose and another guy got part of his ear ripped off. Then I petitioned to make her a full member without having to wait the normal three months.”
