Marlena arrives at the Body and Soul office to see Leo. He’s sorry he had to cancel their date to watch Drag Race. Marlena tells Leo he needs to fire Hattie because she’s decided she wants to play Charlamaine. Aren’t they BFFs? Is Leo going to help her land her dream role?
Leo tells her that Hattie already has a signed contract, and if they fire her without cause, they’ll have to pay her the length of her contract. Marlena says she’ll do it for free. She’ll give Leo free therapy for a year. Will he fire Hattie and hire her?
Leo points out that it wouldn’t be fair to Hattie. Marlena yells, “you don’t even know that broad!” Leo points out that this is a big break for Hattie. He can relate, as writing the show is his big break too. Marlena tells Leo he either stands by his BFF or that crazy Hattie Adams.
Leo won’t let her strong-arm him into firing Hattie.
Marlena says she’s never been so insulted in her life. Then she breaks down in tears. She’s never been so touched. It’s really Hattie. She was pretending to be Marlena to test Leo’s loyalty. Leo is impressed by her ability to imitate Marlena but asks her never to do that again. He’s had enough of doppelgängers.
That’s when Bonnie storms in, telling him the script is a total mess. She’s upset that Charlamaine gets the last word. She gets the better of Cassandra in every scene. Charlamaine has 62 speeches, and Cassandra only has 41.
Bonnie thinks Hattie is Marlena because of the way she’s dressed. Hattie says she’ wouldn’t have encouraged Bonnie if she knew she’d try to steal the limelight. As the two argue, Leo wonders what he’s gotten himself into.

Biggest waste of screentime and not even a little bit entertaining. Sorry you had to put up with this today ProudTVJunkie. I think I'm in store for a similar fate tomorrow. |

I am actually a Hattie groupie at this point. I find her coarsely charming. Leo makes for a good straight (no pun intended) man dumbbell. Uh duh buddy. Fell into the same pot hole.
I kept thinking this woman HAS to be Hattie the way she was describing things.
Bowling Alley Hattie is a breath of fresh air. About time they brought in people with blue collar roots to this uppity nose in the air town. The upper crust feel of everyone after a while gets stifling.
And with Bonnie, who can easily slide into a trailer park resident, Hattie has a good foil.
Sorry folks but I find it all amusing. And again, I say dump Marlena and bring in Hattie full time.
