You know what, is it me or is this elevator getting smaller and smaller? Raven Have you been working for Laura behind my back? Have you been working for Donna in front of my behind? Well, this is my stop.
Get back here! How long have you been stabbing me in the back? Not long i mean, I'm not.
I mean, I was trying to tell you, miss Donna.
But I couldn't.
This is all so typical of you.
Trying to steal my best intern.
Well, if she were happy, she would have never come to Lora.
Like Mick Jagger.
Oh, snap! All right, if that's how it's going to be Hold up, now, she done turned off the elevator.
We got a problem.
You have been jealous of me ever since we were young interns for Yvonne St.
Labue.
It's getting cramped, y'all.
Because Yvonne told me, you said I was a no talent hack! What?! Yvonne said that you said that I was a no talent hack.
See, you're both no talent I mean, we really need to press the alarm button.
Listen, listen, people, ok.
3 people, small area, not enough oxygen up in here.
Let me get this straight.
You never said, Lora No talent hack.
Of course not.
In fact, I thought you were very talented.
No! Yes.
Really? Yes.
I thought the same about you.
I did.
I think Yvonne turned you against each other.
I think you're right.
It makes sense, right? Yvonne fill us with the lies and the hate and the poison.
Well, at least it made us work harder? Yes, but it made us enemies.
Yes, well, a bit of fun bugging you all those years.
You were very good at it.
Thank you.
I do my best.
Kiss, kiss.
Make up? Kiss, kiss, make up.
Donna! Lora! Can we get out of here! I can't breathe! I can't breathe! All right, all right.
Let's everyone get back to work.
So, in gesture of our new friendship, I give you your intern back.
Thank you, Ms.
Lora.
Welcome back, Raven.
Thank you, Ms.
Donna.
And now that you're working for me again, Raven, you're fired.
That's harsh.
Now let me show you my office.
Going down? Way down.
What are you doing here? Just came out to clean up my stuff.
Done.
Sorry about the confetti.
I threw myself a little going away party for you.
Yeah, thank you.
I just wanted to apologize to Ms.
Donna.
I'll give her the message.
Yeah, I bet you will.
Ms.
Donna, do you have a minute? No.
Second? Fine.
Raven, what is it? I'm very busy.
Ms.
Donna, I know you were right to fire me.
And I just wanted to say I'm sorry for taking that job without talking to you first.
Raven, you know, I never had children of my own.
And I was like a daughter to you? No, you convinced me I made the right choice.
I gave and gave and gave, and you just didn't appreciate it.
You're right.
And I really wish I would have realized that sooner But, I appreciate the opportunity.
Raven, you're headstrong, impatient, but you're also creative, talented, and one day you're going to make a fabulous designer.
Really? You think so? If I didn't think so, would I be offering you your job back? No! Well, I got your message, tater haters.
Chels, Cory and I wanted to tell you how sorry we are about what happened to Abe.
And in his honor we took the money that we made and donated it to the community garden.
Look.
What? That's the receipt.
You guys.
Abe would have been proud.
Thank you.
No problem, Chelsea.
You know, we just wanted to make it up to you and show you that potato Abe meant a lot Wait.
Is it me or does this oatmeal cookie look exactly like Vin Diesel? It's amazing! Yeah! People would line up for blocks to see this.
Yeah.
We could make a fortune.
Hey, it didn't come from my garden.
Check it out, Mr.
B.

You know what, not too crazy about the raisins.
But not bad.
Why?
