"The end of this episode felt like the climax of a Scooby-Doo cartoon. Everyone is gathered around to hear the evidence that will tell us there wasn't a ghost at all, nor a demon haunting these proceedings. It was really a person in a disguise. As they rip off the mask to see who has been causing trouble all season long, it's Adriana de Moura! Well, maybe when they ripped off the mask, they found a demon after all."
"Adriana has had a good season, ducking most of the drama and staying out of fights so that she can pout at events about how her friend Julia has betrayed her for Alexia and Marysol. Okay, there was that one episode with the dueling boats where she screamed at Marysol about her old knees, but even that was kind of cute and quaint, and it seemed like Marysol deserved it somehow."
The episode culminates in a Scooby-Doo-style reveal where a masked figure is unmasked as Adriana de Moura, with a suggestion of a demonic presence. Adriana spent most of the season avoiding fights and pouting about Julia's betrayal for Alexia and Marysol, punctuated by a dueling-boats outburst. Her earlier restrained behavior gives way to the old, unreasoning persona that takes things out of context and demands fawning loyalty. The conflict escalates at overlapping holiday gifting suites: Marysol's event distributes pajamas, IV drips, and jewelry and hosts Jill Zarin, while Alexia and Frankie's Beauty Bar offers manicures, half-stale prosecco, and warm sushi to Julia, Lisa, and Kiki.
