Later that night, Reza, Asa, and Lilly meet up for Lilly’s celebration dinner. MJ is running late, so Reza blesses us with a story that starts out with him and MJ in the shower, and ends with them having sex on her bed. I feel like that explains a lot about MJ and Reza’s relationship. Me thinks MJ is in love with her long time best friend. Also, Reza is a great story teller. MJ arrives to the dinner an hour late and immediately brings up the fact that she has been stalking Lilly on the interwebs. She tries to embarrass Lilly by bringing up a picture she took, topless and with her dog covering her nips. Lilly figures out pretty quickly that MJ is jealous of her and points out that she has the exact photograph framed and on display in her house. MJ says that she considers it animal endangerment.
Animal cruelty or desperate attempt to get attention?
Of course Reza is mortified, but MJ is not getting the hint. Cue awkward laughter from him. Lilly is very cool about the situation, as she tells MJ that she does not need to be jealous that Reza has a new friend. This seems to aggravate MJ even more. She pulls Asa into the conversation by saying that her and Lilly are just “romps.” MJ is very confident that she will be around for the long haul.
Cut between Reza and MJ weekday morning routine. Reza says he works very hard because he would like to maintain a certain lifestyle. He does not want to worry about money when he is 80 years old. MJ, on the other hand, has scheduled an early morning eyelash extension application appointment. She also has time to burn some pita bread and explain to Julio the importance of covering her bruise-filled legs. She cannot look like a whore in public, but damn the man, she WILL rock a see-through skirt!
Asa takes some time to visit her awesome parents. Their whole interaction still has me wondering how she turned out to be a sleazebag. Anyway, she asks her father if he thinks she will be rich one day. He tells her that money will not make her happy. Back story: Pops was in the Shah Navy. Once you are in, you are in for life. One day pops did not show up to work, and the family fled the country. At least Asa’s need for cash stems from a well-intentioned place. She says she wants to help out her family, especially her mother, who is her “lioness.” Her mother works 70 hours a week as a visiting nurse. And for the second week in a row, the show makes me have actual feelings besides anger.
I think Clay Davis said it best.
It is 9:00 am, and Reza is in the office. Mike calls and we find out that he has an interview with the company in a few hours. It looks like Reza plans to follow through with his plan to squeeze out MJ and replace her with Mike. MJ shuffles into the office at 12:15 pm. Reza gets rid of client he is on the phone with to inquire why MJ is at work. She sasses him and things go from uncomfortable to awkward in minutes. Reza takes a jab at her outfit and MJ goes for the gut, literally. She calls him fat. Bitch fight!! I think MJ is going to make a comment about him attracting high-maintenance clients, but she says “people” instead. Somebody is still upset about dinner the other night. We finally get to the MJ/Reza/Mike confrontation from last week’s previews. Unfortunately, Reza never told MJ that he was going to partner up with Mikey. Her excitement for him interviewing at their company is quickly extinguished when Mike makes a joke about taking MJ’s desk. Reza comes clean and says that he wants to move on and work with Mike. Their plans for total office domination are in motion.

@plockness monster. As soon as GG made her little leprechaun rage face I knew you’d make it the 1st pic in your recap!
“douche brigade” is a good thing to call them. By the time this episode was over I was wishing every one of their mamas would’ve made a different choice.
GG’s batshit crazy. Plus has got some alcohol issues. Which they all know. So Asa didn’t need to keep poking at her like she did last week. Knowing it’d just set her off. Just to get that out of the way.
I don’t give a fuck how compliquated Reza and MJ’s relationship is. There’s no bigger scumbag in the world than somebody that tells about private stuff like that. About somebody else . In a public place and on tv. I don’t care if it’s a boy, girl, transgender or TBD.
Last week I’d about decided Reza’s character just got re framed. But now I just think he’s a fuckwaffle.
And then tries to blame it all on being hurt because MJ didn’t make some statement or something about GG’s Tweets. In the 1st place GG’s batshit crazy. So what does he expect? In the 2nd place he should’ve told MJ his feelings were hurt back when it happened. Maybe when he sees this episode. How GG acts with her own family he’ll get it. But if I was MJ I’d be so done with him after the restaurant stuff.
You’re right there’s no excuse for MJ acting so ugly to Lily. I don’t think Lily’s all that likeable either. But MJ should’ve just said she had plans and couldn’t go.
So I was already mad at both of them by the time they got to the real estate office scenes. And I’ve about had it with the way Mike talks to girls. I let it slide last week when he was calling himself calming GG down. Thinking well maybe he was just real upset. Because you don’t slam the table to calm down a drunk violent crazy person. And boys don’t raise their voices like that to girls. Not if they’ve had a scrap of home training.
But then he puts on this tone fussing at MJ like he’s her dad or something. Like she was in there hollering by herself. But I guess in his mind it’s OK if Reza wants to yell. Just not MJ. Seriously? Way to keep those stereotypes going for another generation.
I still suspect him throwing MJ out of his office was producer driven, though.
And I’m going to have to call bullshit on Asa’s mama supporting that whole family in their nice house in LA. From working 70 hr wks as a visiting nurse. For $30K a yr. The same amount Asa says she’s got buried in gold coins under the porch. Of 1 of her houses she’s got. So either Asa’s as clueless as GG. Or being a Persian Pop Priestess pays way better than anybody guessed.
What the fuck. Usually it is one person they single out for the bitch/bastard edit, but this whole crew sucks this season. Was I so enamored I didn’t see them for who they are?
I love GG just because I can understand her. Anger/alcohol with a twist of spoiled crazy. That I can deal with.
What in the hell is with Asa’s outfits. And I read a blurb she may win an oscar? Huh?
Reza get over yourself. Do we know if he has his brokers license or just a real estate license?
Asa’s need for cash comes from a well-intentioned place? If that were the case, she’d have fewer ugly designer accessories and needlessly expensive crap and be helping her mom support her family. I thought it was horrifying to hear her talk about how hard her mom works and how little she makes after spending the season thus far talking about how much she spends on herself.
At this point, Mike is the most likable character on the show, and that’s saying so, so little. GG desperately needs to be cut off financially by her parents – she’s a spoiled psychopath; Lily needs to stop acting like a bimbo and realize that Persian Cher is not a good look (and try to track down the rest of her original nose so she can speak with a normal voice again); Reza needs to never speak again – he’s never witty and the idea of him using some guy’s armpit like a scratching post is seizure-inducing; MJ needs to get herself in shape as she’s quickly turning into the bitter woman who lashes out at everyone around her because she’s so unhappy with her own life and appearance and can only elevate by trying to cut down the field; and Asa is delusional and should dig up her gold coins and buy her mom a dishwasher.
I guess I’m the only one that likes these guys. I am not a GG fan. I don’t think that you can blame alcohol on all of your issues. I believe she says these violent things because she thinks it’s cool. It’s not.
The model with curves was a joke. I am a thin girl and I probably have curves but I would never say such a thing because it offends others that are really curvy. A la Brooke from Basketball Wives.
GG not knowing the budget for her projects is her own fault. Why doesn’t she be PROACTIVE and prepare a party and say this is how much it’s going to cost then the responsibility will fall on her sister to give her the go ahead on the launch party.
I can see where Reza is coming from. If someone said something nasty like what GG said about my best friend I would take up for them. I wouldn’t let something like that slide. So I think this most recent siding with GG has really pissed EVERYONE off and people can’t believe she’s still hanging with GG.
I am the only one that literally gets mad when these people are on TV?
I’ve tried with the first three episodes, Lord know I did but I can’t stand these people and listen, Lilly Galichi? Bitch, you are so NOT fabulous. There is nothing more boring that a plastic skinny well mannered bitch on TV. Did you take lessions for Yoly on RHOBH on how to be the most boring, Cooter Lover?
Sorry, I had to get that out. Man, these people piss me off.
I was cracking up when GG’s sister called her out on her ridiculous knife/weapon love they showed last season. GG is trying soooo hard to be cool and tough and say all the right things – she looks like an ass. I can not believe she is 30 – what a loser!
Is it possible to say @alloftheabove about these Priceless Persians? They are so awful they are wonderful, from the drunken tirades to the almost-but-not-quite-there microminikinis. Ah entrepreneurship.
They just make me feel so good about myself.
#6 I agree…she is trying to come off as some kind of Angelina Jolie mysterious badass or something. I can’t believe she is 30, either. Her parents have enabled her into a perpetual teenage child with no personality. I saw her on WWHL w/ Andy and Cynthia from RHOA and she was so unbelieviably vapid it was painful to watch.
I borrowed “douche brigade” from my comment homies over at the Challenge recap, so I can’t take credit for it
Reza is totallyyyy different from season one, and I hate it.
Labowner – I agree about the edits this year. No one was likable this episode.
DagnyT – lol at your entire comment! Persian Cher!!! Can I steal for the recaps???? Pleaseee!
Gyp – my blood boils at least once an episode.
I cant really say i like any of the Shahs. I CAN tolerate them at certain times. I am so glad that these people are such a train wreck. It makes for awesome television.
I wish I knew the RH references! I guess I need to catch an ep.
Hilarious recap!!!! And you got all the crucial details too.
Asa the Persian Pop Priestess pompously toasting Omid for NOT getting a nose job took it over the fucking rainbow for me because of the fact that she phrased it so awkwardly that half the drunks at the table thought she was trying to insult him and not compliment him. I was rolling. She is queen of the twits.
MJ is just a mess. She’s turning into a mini-me of her awful mother. Ten pounds of shit in a five-pound bag is not pretty girl. Don’t matter if you bought it on Rodeo Drive or not. And Lilly looks like a pneumatic blow-up doll with extra hair glued on. This buffoonery is so MUCH fun. Great re-cap!
