I'm sure that I could write a lot about so many things in this episode. But for now I'd just like to say something about AJ's girlfriend, Blanca. I think I understand her a lot better now. Especially after Meadow talks about Carmella's cousin needing a mansion now that they have a baby on the way.
I guess Blanca always figured that if nothing else, becoming his gf would mean there would be something good in store for herself and her child. But imagine yourself in her shoes and month after month, there is nothing for her or her son while there are such unimaginable rewards for people that don't even seem to be liked by AJs family - never mind being related to them.
It's a wonderful way to know what people think of you (or how little they do thing about you) when the things that they say just rip you apart and they didn't even care enough to think how their words would make you feel. I'm sure Meadow didn't intend to harm Blanc, but if she had just taken two seconds to think how Blanca would feel when she said that Carm's cousins needed that mansion cuz they had a baby on the way - all the while Blanca and her son live in a terrible little apartment ... it seems obvious that Meadow just doesnt consider Blanca to be of any value or importance to her family whatsoever.
I guess it just got too much for her to take. Seeing the contrast between AJs parents and all their associates on the one hand, and AJ the scared little baby (remember him crying out to Carmella when the bear came to say hello? "MOMMEE! HELP ME! MOMMEE!). Yes, AJ is just a scared little baby and Blanca must have decided that she must have been crazy to ever hope for anything good from him.
I must say that she had a very grown up way of breaking things off. Both men and women everywhere should pay close attention. Just put your ex's stuff in a bag, hand them the bag and drive off. No muss, no fuss and no wasted tears. Goodbye little AJ. Adios Muchachos!
