Maggie manics that Lisa would be a huge exclusive "get" for the show. Lisa doesn't care about any of that, of course. Lisa says what happened to Caylee Anthony was horrible and she's not about to join the cast of a television show because of it. Also, last she knew, Maggie and Jim were too good for this. Dress woman walks out wearing a dress that looks slightly better than the other one. Jim tells her it "screams Tonys" and she is sure to win while wearing it. The woman says she isn't nominated for any awards. I kind of liked how she said that with a disgusted look on her face, like only horrible people are nominated for Tonys. Jim says the dress is so awesome that she'll win Tonys anyway and that the dress is free if the woman takes it right now. Lisa says it is not free. Why does he think that will work? Is he trying to get Lisa fired and/or destroy her chances at getting this commission? Jim offers to pay for the dress himself. Lisa informs him that it costs $11,000. Jim is SHOCKED to find out that clothes can be expensive.
Lisa gives the woman another dress to try on. Maggie says they're "screwed" if Lisa doesn't go on the show (because their ratings depend on whether or not they book one of Casey Anthony's classmates? Okay) and promises that Will will be "gentle" with her. Lisa says all she knows about Casey Anthony is that they once "cut third period together." She doesn't think that's enough to provide any insight on what Casey Anthony turned into. This should really be enough for the people who are supposed to be her friends to let it go. Lisa heads into the woman's dressing room to help her with some buttons. Jim notes that his $30 pants are "just as good" as the $40 pants. Then he wonders if Lisa and the woman are making out in the dressing room right now. He says he'd spend the whole day kissing other women if he was a woman, and doesn't understand gay men and straight women. Thank you for your early '90s stand-up comedy stylings, Jim!
Lisa and the woman walk out. The woman is wearing another dress that looks pretty horrible, but she claims to love it. Afraid that Lisa will actually make a sale, Jim butts in once again and basically tells the woman to go look for her own stupid accessories while he talks to Lisa about something important. I would have called the police on those guys at this point to get them out of the store. The woman wanders off to look at jade earrings and Jim tells Lisa that this is really, really important because I don't know if you guys know about this, but there's a debate format they need ratings to air and the debate is a "good thing for everybody." Lisa interrupts him to ask Maggie if Will and MacKenzie are counting on her. Maggie says they are. Lisa agrees to do it. Maggie is very grateful. I don't think Maggie would ever do anything like that for Lisa. Maggie got what she wanted out of her roommate, so she leaves. Jim stays behind to remind Lisa that he has been "wooing" her via unreturned phone calls and emails. Lisa clearly isn't interested. Maggie gets impatient and starts banging on the window and yelling at Jim to leave. What a sweetheart.
