Violet was always a nasty and selfish character. When she was pregnant out of wedlock, she ruled the home like Princess Malevolent. When the baby was given up for adoption, Violet had a bad attitude about that, and did not want to see the photos of the baby in the new home, or to visit the baby. Christie, Bonnie, and Violet only visited one time, even though it was an open adoption and they were welcome to keep in touch with the baby. Overall, Violet has always been a repulsive character.
In this episode, it turns out Violet is making podcasts so she can make money from her "Poor Me" life. Christie is the villain of Violet's podcasts. For the sake of this TV episode, the podcast is supposedly popular and making money. Someone in law school who is studying with Christie, has heard the podcasts, and tells Christie about her role as the evil Mom in Violet's stories.
Christie and Bonnie go visit Violet to find out what is going on. Violet rips out her Mom's heart, and then drags it across the floor and kicks it out the door. I guess that the dynamics of this family are realistic for a lot of sad and bitter people. Maybe Violet has the right to hate her Mom, but then Violet has spent her life shifting blame to everyone else, and she was always a nasty and lazy character. There is no love lost here, and no Mother-Daughter relationship. Just anger and bad memories.
I was really impressed by Christie (Ana Faris). She really did a great job reacting to all the hate from Violet. I wonder if Violet will ever be back as a guest? Will there be reconciliation?? Will Violet crash and burn, and come back as a hard-core alcoholic or ex-convict, or both??
