Exposing the exploiter.

Warning: Spoilers
When a prize winning photographer (Ian Patrick Williams) from Los Angeles shows up and wants to take pictures of the ladies of Sugarbaker's as part of a spread on "the new south", they realize quickly that he's not after the real women of the south, just exploiting them for their location to get scandalous style photos simply to sell issues rather than represent reality.

Wendi Jo Sperber of "Bosom Buddies" fame is his cynical assistant who finally has enough with, particularly Julia of course, stands up to him. With how ridiculously phony he is, he deserves everything he gets. The buildup is worth it for two things, Julia's rant and Sperber's sudden decision to quit her job in support of the women. The episode ends with shots of what the real women of Atlanta should look like, maybe gimmicky but certainly more authentic.
