I didn't enjoy the Ellen storyline, not really sure what the purpose of it was other than a bad joke. No character development is acheived and no goals were made other than comedic relief. Sophie's last episode with her becoming a pathological liar was one thing, but this episode kind of pushed her into irredeemable for me. I don't get how bullying is funny and was rooting for Deirdre until the end. However, these negative traits do seem to fit Sophie and Valentina's characters, and they don't have trouble fitting into the mold of "mean girls," but there's no heroine to balance things out. I stop rooting for either party and Sophie and Valentina become even less relatable and no longer any fun to watch. I'm wondering who the target audience was meant to be. I wish Meridith was written differently but her personality fits perfectly with the cast. I don't see how much different Meredith's narcissistic behavior is from Sophie's and Valentina's, so Meredith could probably blend right into their friend group.
