And because poor Nina is not good at extracting herself from awkward situations in any way, shape or form, she finds herself sitting backstage at Channel 10 and explaining to Billie that’s she’s going to be on TV and begs her not too watch. Billie agrees. Then quickly tells everyone she has ever met.

“That looks like sexual harassment,” observes a shrewd Carrie (gosh, this woman is so believable, almost like she is a real TV journalist with years of experience).

She’s also pretty good at convincing Mick, while they are snuggled up and loving smooching in bed, that she doesn’t want a party, despite the fact that she’s already got a speck prepared and is agonising over what to wear.

Brody, poor, sweet, lost Brody, tells him that she is pregnant and he says all the right things. He tells her that her baby-daddy Jason is a total dipshit and that dipshit’s sometimes evolve, but right now he is not going to be there for her and that sucks but it’s not her fault.

Jimmy declares that he can’t just buy Billie’s love and Billie jumps in and says he absolutely can. And with a bag like that, I am firmly in her corner.

Billie jumps onto stage to give a speech and that’s when she loses it, and her joy is replaced with an intense avalanche of grief.
