Yeah, my dream came true, Jackie finally woke up and dumped real psycho acting Mi Mi (like someone else said...her name should "me me")
It was painful to watch mi mi pulling on jackie's hair, slapping her face, and trying to get jackie to be jelous by flirting with peeler...when all failed she blew a bomb by throwing a glass to jackie and her friends...."Wow"!! Great job Brian/ Peeler for carrying that time bomb out (Peeler, great job for intervening, this was smartest thing you have done on the show!)
I know many of you have said this show is fake and it's not real, but I really saw raw emotions and it didn't look acting at all....you could see jackie was in real pain watching mi mi sabotaging her.
Mi Mi, she indeed needs anger management course asap!
Jackie's clothes are HOT! Bravo, please post for us where we can buy them and please bring Jackie Back!
Tess was so glowing and looked happy and strong! Go Tess!
I like when Jackie does her own hair better, that guy who did her hair made her looked bit clownish...and it was funny when she commented "I love it"..she is such a good sport! Yeah if I paid much money for my hair...i would just agree too..
I love un-apologetic, confident and self-assured women...I didn't see her egotistical at all....if jackie was a man...he would be seen regular.
Jackie, there are women out there for you...i think it's totally sexy when women have their own goals and goes for them...jackie if i looked like you, i would totally flirt also..nothing wrong with that....you are doing all of us a service by flirting with us:)
Jackie, do some healing so you don't go back or pick another toxic and high maint. g/f.
Mi Mi...do some healing too, you are hurting yourself!
Lots of love, xo

... She bites, slaps, and throws a glass at Jackie's freakin head all while the cameras are rolling! What if a piece of glass hit Jackie in the eye?
What about the poor woman Jackie hid behind when the glass went flying? Jackie owes that woman an apology for using her as a shield. That one incident made me think Jackie is not as strong as she claims to be. I would never use another woman as a shield if someone threw something at me. Shame!
involving mimi are you crazy she is a ten year old craving everyones attention and is mean to get that attention. She is abusive in all ways. good-bye could not come too soon. I am just shocked a woman like Jackie would put up with it.
LOL...OMG I TOTALLY AGREE ...
(1) MIMI IS SUCH A 7YR.OLD
(2) NEVER HAS ANYTHING GOOD TO SAY BOUT JACKIE'S SUCCESS
(3)SHE LOOKS OLDER THAN JACKIE

I am so glad that destructive, emotionally and physically abusive relationship is over. It was painful to watch and astounding that even someone as "strong" as Jackie would put up with that abuse. If a man did that he would have been locked up for domestic violence and rightfully so.
I hope it's over for good. Mimi is immature, insecure, jealous and she's not supportive of Jackie at all.
OMGoodness are you the only person on here that is looking at both sides of the picture. I agree that Jackie was self absorbed. When I look at the episodes Mimi seemed to act up during times when she felt bad about not being a active part of Jackie's success. At the begining Jackie says Mimi doesn't express herself but she did very clearly as she was expressing she felt they were growing apart, they didn't spend time together nor was she an active role in Jackie's endeavors. Jackie never made any efforts to change that. If she spent some of those dates with Mimi instead of tryna look for another that may have been helpful, and did she really have to cut her out of the training retreat?
The last episode really showed Mimi's facial expressions while Jackie was thanking her trainers for being a part of her success, I know Mimi felt left out of that as Jackie didn't even mention her for being supportive in anyway. I think Mimi feels hurt by that since she is her woman she should feel like teh most important person in Jackie's life and Jackie didn't display much of that during the series at all. Everything else always came first and let's be real Jackie would lie to Mimi about her actions and then be upset that Mimi didn't believe the BS. Mimi reacted negatively because she knew Jackie was lying even without truely knowing so I'm not mad at her.
I do still say Mimi should have responded differently instead of her immature antics but she usually had good reason to be upset. Anger always stems from deeper emotions of fear, insecurity, hurt, etc. and the anger is a way to lash out in an effort to try to gain control or release those feelings. Jackie states she needs a special kind of woman to be with her but will she be attracted to that type of woman. Right now it looks like a selfless person, who's very passive and that goes hand in hand with a less motivated, low self-esteemed person. I don't think Jackie will find that attrative.

After watching this episode I don't dislike the "Jackie" character as much as I used to. I actually kind of felt sympathy for her, for one reason.
In the kitchen scene in the beginning of the ep, when she and Mimi were talking, Jackie's eyes lit up when Mimi insincerely said that she loved her and that she missed her while she was away.
You can't fake that look in her eye. Seems like she really did/does love Mimi and was hurt by her behavior. Previously I believed everything was staged, even the litte hissy-fits.
The product placement in this episode was spectacular: Harley Davidson, Jonathan Antin, and of course, now, Lift. All that was missing was Propel and Bravo's next star Sarah S-M.

Hi Kiasmama
I read your fist line and thought holy crap I said the same thing at first. You may be right, and I hope you are. Seriously, I find Mimi irritating and distracting but even she can’t distract from the brilliance of Jackie.
Woman, you nailed it in your last paragraph!! I was waiting for the trainers to be confronted. As the last two episodes played I had reconciled myself by thinking that even though I wanted to see Peeler confronted, he really is harmless because he’s so powerless. But I was looking at her website last night and I didn’t see him in the trainer picture. Did I miss him?
Great talking to you Kiasmama.

To be honest Mimi does act immaturely, but I don't think she necessarily seeks for all of the attention. From what I saw Jackie just gave a speech acknowledging all of her staff for supporting her and helping making her gym the success that it is. No mention of Mimi as a supportive person in her life at all, I mean she is sacraficing her social life with Jackie for Jackie's success so that should count for something.
I think Mimi started to kiss all over Jackie not for attention but to look like she is an important person in Jackie's life. There she was Jackie's lady without any mention on top of her already feeling insecure about not being an important part of her life. I wouldn't like feeling less important than my partner's staff/friends.

AHHHHHH! I think they're back together. Check out the 5 "webisodes" on the home page. The one called "Dinner with Mimi" is the first time they've shown Jackie and Mimi actually getting along and enjoying being together. And when they toast, Jackie says, "To one more." That has to mean they made it to 4 years after all. Wow.
In the other one called "Role Playing," they're all obvioulsy drunk. They're cracking up at stuff you'd only think was funny if you were wasted.

During the show in the bar Jackie said Mimi was choking and punching her but looking at the last webisode that seems like four play for them. Jackie knows she likes it when Mimi bites and throws her fits.
I HOPE Jackie and Mimi aren't back together! But I do think, and I hope I am WRONG, that Jackie actually likes it when Mimi becomes jealous and makes a scene. Personally, I can't stand Mimi. Jackie is WAY to HOT for someone like Mimi! She needs someone who will complement her, not give her grief.
Mimi was too young for Jackie. I for one have been involved with someone not quite suited for me, and chose to stay in the relationship. I related to Jackie in that I dated a woman 12 years yonger once and will never do that again. 
Go Jackie...congrats on being single and focusing your energies where they need to be right now....on your business. Everything else will fall in place.
Love from Washington, DC.,
Christine

Jackie has spent six episodes saying that Mimi doesn't support her in her work. Regardless of whether you think Mimi is being supportive, Jackie obviously doesn't. Possibly, a case could be made for Jackie "praising" and thanking Mimi to encourage such behavior but, personally, I don't think it would work with Mimi.
I totally enjoyed learning about Jackie over the past few weeks; I think that she is a perfect choice as a role model for all women lesbian or not; she is a modern, dynamic, strong, independent, successful, beautiful woman !! Mind you, I am a Gay man, so, this is not some sort of flattery It was great to have some 'access" into her life as she progressed over the past few weeks ( or months)-she handled it all with grace, strength, and courage. Her trainers and her clients were all lovely, colorful, and fun to watch; I was especially touched by the transformation Jackie encouraged amoung her clients, the lady with the health problems did make significant progress and that was very nice to see. As for the "drama" with Milenna, well, drama is part of life. Jackie shall PREVAIL !! She is a NBS ( natural born star) and as she said in last nights episode, " the sky is the limit" I do hope to learn more about her and her life and look forward to another season of " Working out"
I hope that Jackie finally gave Mimi the boot, because it really bothered me to see Jackie stay in such a trainwreck of a relationship. I do not know Jackie or Mimi, but Mimi really comes across as a selfish twit who cannot handle not being the center of all the attention. Perhaps she is jealous of Jackie's success, but whatever the factors, it is clearly obvious that Jackie deserves so much better. If I wasn't straight, I'd be flying to LA to woo her myself... That woman could turn me in a heartbeat... I'm addicted *LOL*
I'm glad that Jackie was strong enough to finally end things with Mimi. I'm sure many of us can relate to being in an unhealthy, co-dependent relationship...and having the wherewithal to admit it is so hard. I just hope that Jackie holds to her decision! She deserves someone who supports and appreciates her. (Heck, I'm a straight woman and I think Jackie is just about the best thing since sliced bread!)
I know one thing! and THAT is: I LOVE THIS SHOW! Glad to see that Jackie finally moved on from MiMi. I understand about the co-dependancy thing. I was also in a relationship for far too long b/c it was simply, 'familiar'. When I couldn't help but see how sick the relationship was and that it was only going to get worse & I wanted MORE out of life, I finally left the relationship! Everyone has their own path in life and I take responsibility for my part in that mess and I am soooo grateful to be free of it. I'm sure Jackie and MiMi feel the same! Good luck in love to both
I agree!! I love this show and couldn't wait for the next weeks episode!! I want MORE!! Please!!! As far as the Jackie/MiMi thing is concerned..MiMi is young, she will grow. Jackie is awesome and beautiful and I want to see more of her!! Glad you've split up! You two "weren't bringing out the best in each other"..is what Jackie's best friend said of the relationship and I agree with that. We're not dealing with evil people here, we're dealing with "people" with real problems.
I would love to see "Work Out" with new episodes..Just when I was getting into the show..it ended..Pooey!! More please

Jackie seems intelligent and like she has it all together - but this all seems false when you look at her relationship with MiMi. How can someone so together be with someone so crazy,and for so long - goes to show you that you can't believe what you see - Jackie must also have MAJOR problems to stay with a Crazy person
I'm thinking Jackie didn't thank Mimi during her speech mainly because she was talking as an employer to her employees and also because she didn't want to sound like a hypocrit. It is clear to most people that Mimi does little but cause trouble - case in point: when she didn't get thanked, she went over and kissed Jackie blowing a mouthful of smoke at her, babbling in baby talk, trying to embarrass Jackie........... (at that point I was ready to throw her off the roof.)

I heard that they got back together, then broke up again.
I think Jackie was correct EVERYTIME she said it. It was a relationship she got stuck in, she got confortable, it was what she knew, unfortunately it took ALL of those immature, unnecessary incidents to happened in order for her to see she was worth so much more.
Such a beautiful, strong person taken for granted, and brought down....BUT NOT ANYMORE...HAHA...at least we all hope not....MIMI, shes undescribable, IM 23 years old, and i would never, EVER think there were people out there, LIKE HER.....I cant even immagine my reaction if i were one of jackies friends....ummmm, dont want to go there.
CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT SEASON

I just want to say that I injoy the show, I am a fire fighter Just north of Manhatton and i worked out on and off for the past 6 months, I had to stop due to a knee injury and just satrted back yesterday. I have learned some great workout forms from this show and it is so nice that sshe cares about makeing people feel better about themselves. She is a hard working woman. I am going to support Jackie as much as I can. Does anyone know when her workout clothing line is going to be for sale online. I would llike to that Jackie for making me get off the coach and into a gym.
"on Jackie and Mimi.. man that relationship was just as described.. habit. Mimi was looking for a way out and Jackie was so cool that it was hard for Mimi to finally let go too. I do wonder if the whole taping of the show, etc is what got Mimi to feel left out. "
I think you're right. It seemed to me like Mimi had a hell of a lot of hostility and resentment toward Jackie, even in their peaceful moments. It just boiled underneath the surface.
To some extent, I think that was justified. The moments that lead to the biting incident really demonstrate that for me ... Where Mimi was clearly upset with Jackie and Jackie told her, in a voice you'd use on a three-year-old, "Stop it. You're just being silly." You could see by Mimi's silent reaction that that kind of dismissal really frustrated her. And, as I watched it, I cringed thinking of my husband saying the same thing to me. (He'd be on the couch, for sure!
Of course, that doesn't excuse Mimi's behavior. She's really, really, really got a ton of growing up to do. Big girls do not bite, do not poke, do not squeeze faces, and do not throw things to communicate. Spoiled children do.
I admire Jackie's restraint ... particularly in the club during last night's episode. Mimi was out of control with her physical demonstration and Jackie basically handled it like you would handle a child having a tantrum ... or a pet having a fit ... Don't react. Don't fuel the fire. Diffuse, diffuse, diffuse.
Jackie shouldn't feel "humiliated" by the display, as unfortunate as it was. She handled it with incredible restraint and came out looking like the sane half.
Hope Mimi finds a way to channel more of her passion into her artwork, because one of these days she's going to get physical with a less patient and forgiving person ... and either end up on the other end of a fist or in a jail cell.
Really enjoyed the show ... I said somewhere else on these boards, I have to admit to a bit of a crush on Jackie. I really suspect that when she finds a partner who challenges her and needs her without hogging her, she will shine as a half of a relationship.

Lots of really smart, together, have-it-all people have bad habits ... whether they are substances, food, or people. Doesn't make her a mental case ... makes her human.

As far as the Jackie/MiMi thing is concerned..MiMi is young, she will grow.
there are many people much younger that do not act like idiots.
I disagree with you on your remarks about including Mimi. In a good relationship you have your separate interests, jobs, etc and come together in other ways. Relationships are suppose to compliment your already fulfilling life, not consume it. I think Mimi was over the top with her spoiled little girl bull$%^&. Her behavior did not seem situational to me but more a reflection of her inner character. I am sure her character is why Jackie did not include her in her business. The glass throwing and biting, and hitting are all just a small piece of a bigger problem that is Mimi's alone.
By the way, the finale episode showed a date of April 2006 on a form Jackie was filing out for Tess, which is only 4 months ago.

It's called a co-dependent relationship & it doesn't mean you are crazy. Just unaware of what is unhealthy and habitual.
(The sex was probably killer)
(The sex was probably killer)
Maybe I'm overly sensitive, but Mimi's treatment of Jackie was nothing short of abuse. If that were a man treating her that way someone would have called the police. She bites her, pulls her hair, acts like a dog and threatens to bite her and then throws a glass at her.
If I had witnessed it, I would have dialed 911 and Mimi's butt would be in jail.
I was in an abusive relationship in my 20's. It started out with "playful" hitting and turned into beatings. He wasn't going to grow out of it and I'm lucky I got out with my life. Without serious help Mimi will not change and no matter how cute she is, that's abuse and there is no excuse for it.
I hope that Jackie reads this, and starts getting professional help. I needed a lot of help. When I first met my husband, I never told him about the abuse, then we spent our first night together and I woke up screaming. I had nightmares for years before therapy helped me.
I wish Jackie all the luck in the world and I hope her friends convince her to get help. She needs it as much as Mimi does.

I am not a Mimi fan at all however I think there is no need to be dogging out Mimi's occupation or artistic abilities. Art is subjective and her business has nothing to do with the show. She appears to have enough issues without the extra criticism.

This is so true. I know a couple of lesbians who are in a co-dependent abusive relationship even though they broke up 8 yrs ago. They just can't or won't let go of each other. They consider themselves bestfriends but do nothing but fight constantly. When I've tried to coach one or the other into therapy to learn how to divorce each other and move on they become angry. It's impossible to tell which of the two was the initial abuser. Unfortunately, 13 years of verbal abuse towards each other has made both of these women angry, bitter, and unhappy people. It has also made both of them leary of starting a relationship with anyone else because of their fear that the next woman will be just as bad as the last.
I thought the finale was very good. I was so excited when Jackie decided that it was time to break it off with the [expletive deleted] Mimi. I have not liked her ever. I thought the season was really good but I wished it lasted longer. I think Jesse is a total hottie and would love to date him. I think Doug is the hottest trainer. I was not a big fan of Zen. She is kind of bitchy and I don't approve of her. I really liked Ericka. She is a great trainer and an amazing person. Brian is an ass and I really don't approve of him being on the show. What he did to Jackie's house and then for Jesse to take the blame was totally irresponsible on his part. I hope there is another season because I love looking at doug and Jackie is so beautiful.
why does it have to end....
finally a show other than the L-Word for lesbians to watch. Jackie - if you only knew how many woman out there wish they were on a date with you......
oh wait, i gotta go to the restroom.......don't you have to go?

As a 50 something, straight, african american who just loves "Work Out" I have learned a lot and
lost weight by taking tips and having a more active lifestyle. Like Tess, I have a similar health issue w/the thyroid. I like Jackie, she may be no day at the beach but she's positive and encouraging.
I didn't know much about a lesbian lifestyle but she is beautiful on the inside and its hard not to like her.
So glad she finally dumped spoiled, bratty, arrogant MiMi.
Jacki's mom was right about her! She tried to salvage the relationship by taking a lot of crap off this crazy person. When she said I'm done! We yelled "yes, finally she got it".
I too was in a non-supportive, verbally and spiritually abusive relationship. Looking at this made me realize to garner the strengh to dump my boyfriend of five years...finished, and ran out of gas... Any doubts on her decision, of being treated unfairly; look at the re-runs. MiMi's extremely embarrassing behavior is inexcusable. The biting, punching, pinching, hair pulling,and tantrums are immature and extraordinarily self-absorbed. She is so explosive(the unbelievable throwing the glass)and manipulative that she couldn't be trusted to be part of Jackie's business projects she uses profanity at her staff and her drunkeness in Jackie's business arena will surely sabotage her success; you can see her jealousy in her actions and facial expressions. That Brazilian lesbian nightmare is finally over..... My favorite trainer is Ericka, she was mistreated by the staff when she was left in charge. They are all adults and shouldn't need supervision; they disrespected her by undermining her authority and pulling stunts then saying, she was not capable of being left in charge. Just like when bursting into Jackie's home and leaving their coworker on the hot seat alone to face the music. I also like Rebecca, she is funny esp. when MiMi acts out....Seeing Jodi Watley again was great, so will Jackie find a new love? Seeing the support of her staff was so touching! Can't wait for the next season.

I agree. My father traveled on business for 30 years, and never felt pressured to check in with my mom every night. He probably called once during the week. They had trust, and my mom never felt threatened when he entertained clients or people he worked with.
I kept wondering all season if we just weren't getting the whole story. I figured there had to be some reason why Mimi was SO possessive and jealous. I kept waiting for her to say something that would justify her behavior. But she never once revealed that Jackie had a history of cheating or lying to her. The only thing she ever said was that Jackie wasn't spending as much time with her. So she throws a glass at her? Like that guy said, "Who DOES that!?!" I think Mimi is jealous by nature, and will never trust Jackie.
Additionally, I think that this "reality" show is very scripted and some of the people in the show are just actors.. The only reason I have watched it is because of the gay theme and hottie Doug. Project Runway is a much more interesting show with people that have some real talent to offer.
Key words to describe the situation:
*Trust (or lack thereof)*
Jackie shouldn't have been going out on dates, regardless if they were platonic or not, however, everything with Mimi was a trust issue.
*jealousy*
Mimi's jealousy issues stem from her lack of self esteem, narcissism, and her inability to control Jackie.
*immaturity*
Mimi is young and she will grow up and (hopefully) learn that people treat each other with love and respect in normal, healthy relationships.
*codependancy*
BIGTIME codependancy issues going on, especially from Jackie's point of view. For her to struggle with leaving an emotionally and physically abusive relationship because of their "history" just is not right. Mimi's passive/aggressive behavior is a way of manipulating Jackie into doing what she wants her to do and her way of hurting or lashing out at Jackie.
*physical and emotional abuse*
Mimi's acting out with the biting, hitting and even ripping up the picture of Jackie's client shows that Mimi has some deeper self esteem issues that need to be resolved before she can ever be in a healthy relationship.
*lack of communication*
When Mimi shuts down and doesn't talk about what is wrong, it is purely to induce Jackie into feeling guilty and Mimi wants nothing more than for Jackie to drop everything and have the world revolve solely around what Mimi wants.
*separate goals and life ambition*
Mimi is clearly jealous of Jackie's success. They are on different life paths and have different ambitions, and Mimi makes that blatantly clear. She also makes it clear that she resents Jackie because of her successes.

I love Jackie. I'm a gay man but she makes me want to be a gay woman. Jackie you are so freakin hot with the best attitude and personality humanly possible but I knew Mimi wasn't for you from the first episode on. I wish you the absolute best of luck in your upcoming ENORMOUS success!!!
lol, so true! I'm not a gay man, I'm a straight woman, but she has the kind of personality and attitude that EVERYONE can appreciate...with a few apparent exceptions. Or make one question one's orientation, as a lot of people on here seem to be doing, even me! Huzzah for strong female role models! If only her mother could see how much she's influenced people for the better and how being gay/straight is irrelevant when you're helping people.
I've never been concerned with working out and I haven't had to worry about my weight (that doesn't mean I didn't but I know that if I had money I'd hire Jackie. She's the kind of people I love to be around and I'm hooked on this show now. Keep it going Bravo!...and Jackie
I couldn't agree more. I deal with these types of situations on a regular basis where I work. Mimi showed all the classic signs of being an abuser. I am so glad that Jackie FINALLY saw the light and has moved on. She is a strong, intelligent, beautiful person who has so much potential and deserves to have a TRUE loving relationship, filled with support and understanding. The fact that she admits that she's stubborn and controlling is good - she's aware of her personality - she needs someone who will give her balance in her world. Mimi needs help. I couldn't believe that Mimi's "friend" at the party had the nerve to put herself in the middle of the whole situation and was PULLING JACKIE'S HAIR! She was just as abusive as Mimi! Good for you, Jackie, for leaving Mimi!!
I admire her hard work and dedication to her clients, too. Society is SO obsessed with everyone being skinny, but Jackie seems more interested in her clients being HEALTHY, not just "fit and trim." I wish I could afford to have a few sessions with her myself - she's an awesome motivator and inspirational trainer.
I wish her all the luck (& LOVE) in the world.

I really like the show. It has inspired me to workout more and I am getting great tips.
One thing that I notice about the show is that I think that Jackie has a drinking problem. She continuously gets drunk after work and during outings. It's probably partially due to her relationship with Mimi. She even tried to get Mimi drunk so she could get along. I guess we'll see if it changes now that she has dumped Mimi. What does everyone else think?

I get the impression that Andre & Zen is an item they seem to bevery much in love..why is Andre not featured in a prominent role? yes I agree that Zen is sweet I love her humor & was glad to see she was concern for Jackie's future in love
I'm glad but I'm shocked that Jackie finally came to her senses and let that 2 year old child go (Mimi) What was up with the biting she was truly a block in Jackie's life and I think Jackie did better than most men would have done. I know she will agree with her mom that Mimi was bringing her down. I think Mimi was looking for someone to take care of her and more like a parent figure. I think Jackie is beautiful and its her life and she is going to do well. I would love to go to her gym because I know I would really lose alot of weight and keep it off because her trainer go out of their way to help their clients.
I agree because a trainer should have the personality like Jackie, and I comment her for not letting her personal life get in the way of her clients. Mimi was jealous of Jackie still being able to give to her clients, it's like she didn't understand that was Jackie's job and Jackie was taking care of her. I also notice that Mimi was riding in Jackie's car, she was always over to Jackie's house, why would Jackie want someone that didn't bring nothing to the table. I adore Jackie and I would love to meet her someone that care about your health and not how skinny you can get. She's strong and has her head on right and I wish her all success and I hope to see more of this show and how the gym:skysportspa succeeds.
Did you do a background check on these people. Sounds like you're HaTiN'.
There's room enough for everyone. Don't HATE on Jackie because she's doing her thing.
GeminiRae that's me.

Look, I didn't know about the show. I just happened to be at home for the past two weeks. I like the show and got hooked. I tivo'd every episode and watched them.
Now, for that DaMn Mimi, I would have dumped her azz a long time ago. She was definitely twisted. It would not have gotten that far as for her biting me or slapping me. Jackie is far too beautiful. Raquel, should've FREAKED her. Jackie would've dumped Mimi that night. Kick Rocks, Mimi "The Brazilian Tric" Nobody, but Jackie would take that [censored] from you. "A cow never knows the use of it's tail". Mimi's gonna get beat down for some of the [censored] she tried with Jackie. All that childish b/s. I know and I'm not even gay. Just keepin' it REAL.
GeminiRae that's what they call me.

I actully didn't see Andre at all in the last 2 episodes. Or Rebecca. Were either of them at the fashion show?
I know it's just a stupid tv show, lol, but I can't get over watching those webisodes today and seeing Jackie and Mimi together. I'm sure some time has passed since they finished taping, but I wasn't expecting that after hearing Jackie so adamantly say "It's over, it's done, no more." We all got sucked into their dramaticlly disturbing breakup, and now we're supposed to believe they're happy and functional??? What changed? Did they go to therapy? Or did Jackie decide to be Mimi's love slave?
They need to have a second season just to explain what the hell happened in the first season.
