Love is in the Air
Season 1 | Episode 14 | Aired 02/13/05
Gabrielle can't book any more jobs as a model after she's labeled difficult. She takes her frustration out on her maid, Yao Lin, who tells her "You are not better than me! The only reason you have anything is because you are pretty." Gabrielle promptly fires her. The only job Gabrielle can find now is as a lingerie-wearing "mattress model" at a mattress store. When she puts up a sign that reads "Do not talk to the model," the owner fires her. Finally, Gabrielle swallows her pride and takes a job at a makeup store. Who should walk into the store, but Yao Lin, who clearly delights in having Gabrielle wait on her for a change.
