This episode made me asdfghjkl. I love it way too much. I loved everything that you said and I love that this is a show that can show the main female lead being confronted by being one upped and mocked both professionally and personally but in the end she completely kicks butt without being malicious, proves the haters wrong with her compentence and ingenuity and then extends an olive branch.

You don't have to be a rude to deal with haters. You can deal just as well (if not better) with grace and humour. Hurray for strong ladies in all their forms.
