Sophie Episode 1.07 Checking Sophie Out

The good news is, Judith wants to be closer to Sophie. The bad news is she's closing in on Sophie's agency. She wants to become sophie's partner and turn Parker Talent into Parker FAMILY Talent. Her threefold plan includes moving into Sophie's office (complete with her "Great Wall of Denial," as Sophie calls Judith's montage of family photos), driving Estelle out, and, most important, bringing Sophie's ex-con brother, Christian, into the business.

It all starts out well and good, with Christian showing up for work as one of the conditions of his parole. In Judith's eyes he can do no wrong. but Sophie knows better and warns him: One teensy little felony and he's out.

Meanwhile, Estelle has a hard time adjusting to the new regime. Actually, it drives her over the edge. After Judith makes her feel insecure about her looks, Estella quits the agency, and Sophie finds her in a grave situation -- kneeling at Sophie's father's tombstone.

After that, it becomes painfully clear to Sophie that Judith must to be quite useful when Estella disappears. He jimmies the lock on Estelle's front door, and he and Sophie discover Estelle's at the plastic surgeon -- THIS close to going under the knife. Luckily, Sophie and Christian convince her she's beautiful just the way she is, and she agrees to come back to the agency.

With Judith gone, that leaves Sophie and christian to run Parker talent. Just how much help he'll be remains to be seen... but it's already pretty obvious he sees something in Bridget. There are definite sparks, but will Bridget take a walk on the wild side?
