Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

After the commercial, we see that the Catholics in Media lady is a total liar, because instead of the award presentation, we have to listen to Natalie Cole sing "I Say A Little Prayer For You." Like I won't be getting my fill of Bacharach on the other show I'm recapping this season. Instead of being polite and listening to the lovely woman who's singing at a benefit in her honor, Harriet decides she and Matt should continue their resentment spectacle. Matt is still baffled that they're even having this fight, which is maybe the thing that most makes me want to give him a flick in the eyeball. He can't get over how unimpressed Harriet was at the date auction thing. She wants to know what "eruptions" Matt was talking about back outside: for the last five months, Matt wasn't blaming the "eruptions" for their not being together; he's been blaming "the show." Matt continues to stress that the show is the reason he and Harriet are not together, and he runs down the laundry list of every single person involved in the show as people who would be affected negatively if they were both dating and working together, concluding, "I landed in this thing. I didn't ask for it." But Harriet's the one who needs to be taking accountability, right? Harriet says that they broke up two weeks before he "landed in it," so what the hell? Matt says that they broke up all the time before! And that last one occurred when Harriet was "so filled with the spirit of the Lord" that she "sang a few ballads for people who throw rocks at pregnant teens!" Harriet's like, "So that wasn't an eruption, that was just me being a whackjob." "I never cared," Matt scoffs, "that you were a whackjob." Harriet, rightly pissed, spits, "I can't believe I haven't shown more gratitude for that." Matt, fed up, says he thinks what's happening is that Harriet can't walk away, so she's "burning the house down." Harriet realizes that's exactly what she's doing and says, "Yes." So now they're both gobsmacked, since Matt still wants to argue and Harriet simply wants to end it. Matt tries a different tactic, asking her, "All the times I said I loved you, you think I was lying?" Harriet, sadly: "Yeah." Matt says that's "disappointing." Harriet looks away, about to cry, just in time to get called up to the stage.
