Let's get the shit over with. So Julius barges in on Eddie and some random girl, who turns out to be bait to get Eddie off guard. He tells Eddie that he won't blow his brains out if he gets rid of Claudia and makes it look like she died of natural causes. Claudia, as we might remember from last weeks literal bath of blood, is Julius' long last half sister that's stopping him from getting a butt load of money from his father. Personally, I live for Claudia (more on that later) so hopefully Eddie fails and Julius just ends up killing Eddie and moving in with Claudia and have their own Odd Couple-esque spin off but let's be honest, Claudia's probably toast. Anyways, Eddie agrees. Great?

Esperanza is such a jealous, petty, nosey fool. Shouldn't she be somewhere taking care of her daughter instead of wedging herself up in other people's business? I think it's so ironic that she was trying to talk Kelly down and get her to see what was right in front of her when she's over here jumping to the absolute biggest conclusion she could over a hug just because she thinks that Claudia is some sort of loose woman. How so, Esperanza? Because your ain't shit ex relentlessly tried to hit on her and get her to sleep with him? Because you're so jealous of the fact that Eddie was showering her with attention (which he does with nearly every women that comes on screen) that you would dedicate your entire life to taking down this damn 911 operator? (Well, as far as Esperenza is concerned) Girl, sit your nosey ass down and do your job and take care of your damn baby and stop meddling in other people's lives when yours is a hot tumblefuck of a mess. Esperanza confronts Claudia and Claudia reads the entire fuck out of Esperanza's Mickey Mouse ass. Girl, you think you scaring anyone? Miss Tilda gave birth to Claudia's ass so there's no telling what Claudia will unleash on that bitch once you've pushed her buttons enough. Esperanza got real quiet and changed the subject when she called out how jealous Esperanza was being about the whole Eddie thing.

Speaking of which, can we just talk about how annoying the women on the show are? Kelly is over here having a panic attack, writing a whole black ass story about who that woman is to Ramsey and about how he's disrespecting her. Granted, I don't see how Ramsey had no idea that Grace would rub Kelly the wrong way. They had been feeling each other and some light skin girl wearing next to nothing comes out of nowhere and you don't think that's going to get Kelly feeling some type of way? I just think Kelly took everything way too far. She should have taken Lushion's advice and just talked to Ramsey instead of sitting in her office and her living room cussing him out because she didn't have the guts to talk to him in person. I also really, really have a problem with the way these women go about treating other women. Esperanza is taking her aggression out on Claudia when it's EDDIE who was hitting on her? Kelly called Grace a slut because of the fact that she was wearing short clothes. So just because a woman wears short clothes that makes her a slut? Kelly, your entire history on this show makes you an idiot but have we been coming for you? No. Because you give good advice and you're usually a sweet person but I have no idea who this Kelly is that we've been getting the last few episodes. Shaming another woman when it's Ramsey (if anybody) who you should be talking to. Get the fuck out of here until you can develop some sense, girl. Some sense! I don't blame Natalie for getting mad at Lushion and Claudia because it's all Esperanza's fault for meddling when she should have been doing her DAMN JOB.

And I don't think I have to go in too deep about Randal. I have absolutely no idea how his mind functions. Literally every sentence he says is a contradiction of the last one and I'm not going to dedicate too much time to him because that's a waste of time. All y'all need to know is he's suing Brad for beating him up (because, damn, it's a felony to hit someone. DAMN :(!!!!!!). Also, um, Alex goes to her parents house and just when I think I might like this bitch she fucks everything up. Despite the fact that she already told her mom that he didn't rape her, Alex goes to her father and tells him her neighbor is bothering her and won't leave her alone. BITCH. WHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY?! WE GOT RID OF THEM AND NOW THIS?! YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND, EXIT STAGE LEFT, MISS.

EPISODE GRADE: B
There were some really, really big problems but I thought the opening scene with Eddie and Julius' cousin was hilariously just the right amount of over-the-top and ridiculousness I've been missing from the show. I may have had some serious problems with the character development in this episode but it got me fired up and that's usually the best type of TV, right? They set up a really, really killer plot for the season finale next week so let's hope they can deliver!

EDDIE IS THE BEST:
Eddie's justification for not wanting to get shot in the face: "I entered this world pretty, let me leave it pretty!"

-I almost forgot Julius used to fuck with Esperanza! Just another one of her awful decisions...

-I legitimately thought that Grace was Ramsey's light skin half sister or something but cousin's wife will do. As long as Kelly realized how stupid she was being (:

-I just wish I could have reached through the screen and tape Kelly's mouth shut. She was being so OC this whole episode.

-Ramsey was being so dramatic when he came to Kelly's house. Nigga, just tell her who in the samhell Grace is. It's not that hard.

-Esperanza played the worst game of telephone I've witnessed my entire life.

-I love the fact that the dude at the gas station store (or wherever Pete got the video from) referred to the other cop as "deer-eyed". That would have been a perfect description of Steven, so I thought it was Steven, but nope. It was Andrew.

-Also, he let Lushion in way too easily. Was that just me? "You'll be doing the community a great service!" "Kk! :)" ?!?!
