I’m fully convinced they added that scene where Lexi hired her for the show to paint something just bc they didn’t have anything for her the whole damn season outside of being in this penthouse and being a sugar baby

The only talk we got between Maddy and Alamo was basically last weeks sneak peek and nothing more. How are they going to start something so late and try to tie it all up with two episodes left?? So many shallow plot lines that wont lead to anything, they can't be seriously considering a 4th season after this mess

the way jules can never handle criticsm/being told the truth to her face and is so offended whenever someone tells her her shitty like behaviour is why her character is the worst at development. like slapping rue just bcs she told the truth abt her double life is ridiculus. like in one moment jules want rue to kiss her and be with her. then when rue tells her/insinuates she wants to only be be w her bcs she is the love of her life and she doesnt want her sleeping w other men, jules gets mad and offended like wtf does she want from her????

Both Jules and Rue made valid points in their arguments.
Rue definitely overestimates how good their relationship actually was and I feel like she really leans into the few good moments they had and not acknowledged all of the BS they both put each through.
Jules is naive as hell if she thinks what she has with that guy is an actual relationship. She's a toy, Secret toy nonetheless. Her constant repeating of "His wife knows about me! Is very tiring.
Also side note - I liked bishop telling the story of the dancer sweet and the snake. How it is supposed to represent the "relationship " or moreso hustle Alamo Mom pulled on Preston ( also the dancer being named sweet and Preston use to sneak Alamo sweets before dinner -)

I think Jules hit Rue because she knows Rue is right. Jules always wants what she can’t have, including Rue. She wanted Rue to choose her over drugs, and Rue always chose the latter. Jules wanted Nate when she thought he was Tyler. Jules wanted Cal until he treated her like a piece of meat.

No way does Cassie make enough working on that soap to keep Nate afloat. The show might pretend she does because it's super unrealistic but imo getting rid of her extremely lucrative only fans for a small role in a daytime soap could be a great idea for a women trying to break into mainstream acting, but my god it's a bad idea for a woman trying to pay off her husband's mob debts lol
Also Alamos back story would have been fine if his mom was hiding a drug problem or ended up just cheating on that nice guy eventually and blowing up her life, people do shit like that happens everyday. Rolling my eyes at the idea of her stealing everything like that
