When we last left off, Amanda was about to get her a** kicked by Heather. Although Heather started after her, she didn't hurt the girl, probably because she realized she was drunk as heck!  Even after she was granted a reprieve, Amanda still continued to talk crap, but Heather just laughed her off and wondered again who she was and where she came from. Heather had to intervene again when drunk Amanda ran back over to Aviva and Carole and tried to get in their conversation again! 

Aviva and Heather went back and forth a bit more, with Aviva insisting that since Heather wasn't at the lunch with her and Carole, she couldn't defend anything. Reid even jumped in, saying that he heard the rumors about Carole's book too. Of course he did, from Aviva! Something else to consider: Carole's book has been out since 2006. How suspicious is it that suddenly when Aviva is "writing" a book of her own, she wants to bring up rumors about Carole's book? Seems like a shameless ploy for publicity for her own book, which she clearly knows will not sell on its own. At the very least, she was trying to make Carole look bad, because if she really believed Carole didn't write her own book, why did she ask her for advice on her own book? That girl is just shady. 

Before leaving LuAnne's , Heather reminded Aviva that no one likes her, and no ones wants her around.She made the mistake letting her her hood side come out. While arguing, Heather yelled "don't tell me nothin m*tha f*cker" and of course, Aviva, "park avenue princess" retaliated with "did you learn that talk in prison"? Aviva calls Carole a snob, but clearly she is one herself! Aviva left, feeling victorious and ready to continue her righteous smear campaign against Carole. 

It's no secret that Queen Aviva lost her leg in a terrible childhood accident, but we learned more about the accident that nearly took her life when her friend Becky contacted her for the first time since it happened. I always thought the accident happened at Aviva's house, but apparently it was while she was sleeping over Becky's house. At Becky's invitation, Aviva and Reid headed up the the farm where Becky still resides, the same farm where the accident happened. 

Aviva realized that Becky was carrying around a lot of guilt because it was her idea for them to play on the conveyor belt. I think Becky healed from seeing for herself that Aviva was ok, and Aviva clearly was no longer afraid of the machine that almost killed her. She even turned it on and even stood over it, unafraid. Queen Aviva conquers all! 

Stay tuned!
