The Rachel Zoe Project Welcomes Skyler Morrison Berman (And Possibly Jeremiah Again!)

Previously on The Rachel Zoe Project: the demise of Jeremiah. Currently on The Rachel Zoe Project: the demise of Jeremiah. Mandana breaks the news to Joey that Jeremiah was "let go" and also that he's acting like a little bitch about it. She wishes that Jer would understand that they fired his ass because he's too smart for that job, but he's obviously just focusing on the "they fired my ass" part of it. Joey gets it. He also kind of laughs at him, though. Mandana is off to meet with our fallen homie and talk him down, I guess. Meanwhile, Rachel Zoe is at full term in her pregnancy. She's technically on sabbatical since, ya know, she's ready to pop any day now. Rodger forbids everyone from discussing work with Rachel - no jobs, no phone calls, no CCs on emails. He means it. No like, for real.

Mandana meets Jeremiah for coffee. He calls her "Boo," and I don't know what to make of that. He's "all over the place emotionally" and Mandana thinks he needs to stop wallowing. I mean, he just got fired from an awesome job and it's going to be aired on national television. Give him a break, Mandana. Then again, she's got a point. He's an interior designer. It's not a personal failure because he couldn't launch a full home line with Rachel Zoe. No one can do that, except maybe Joey. I'll bet Joey could convince her to launch a full line of honey baked ham. Designer ham, it's so hot right now. Anyway, Mandana points out that Jeremiah didn't steal all their gowns or their clients, so he's still one step above Taylor and Brad.

Assistant Marisa explains that pregnant women need to be like, super comfortable and chic and stuff, especially when they are doing something gross like giving birth. Thus, they need to prep Rachel's trip to the hospital like a shoot. Which Chanel does she want to bring? Obviously, all of it. Duh. I mean, clearly there are things a woman needs when she's in labor and Chanel is one of them. Chanel and ice chips. I've never had a kid, but I saw The Miracle of Life in ninth grade health class and that movie really stressed the importance of having the right clutch. Rachel wants to bring black thigh-high stiletto boots, because she lives on another fucking planet, and Joey seems to be the only one who gets that a person is about to come out of her vagina and she might, ya know, not want to be in heels. He also notes that having a baby is "not cute". Rachel agrees! Having a baby is such an "unglamorous" experience that if she doesn't feel attractive, it'll be that much worse. Sigh. I think everyone here is missing the point of having a child. Just sayin'.

Apparently, Molly Sims did not get Rodger's memo about not contacting Rachel for work. She needs to be styled and prepped for an art opening in New York. The Zoe obviously cannot do it and everyone else is booked solid. This means that Joey gets his very first full styling job and is going at it all by himself.  Joey's been working with Molly Sims in a hair and makeup capacity for years and he's very excited. On a conference call, Molly says she wants to have a sexy but not too sexy 1960s vibe and Joey gets to pulling dresses. I think he pulls about 72 dresses, no joke. It's like an insane amount of dresses. He says that he loves pulling clothes for Rachel, because everyone just lets him take whatever the fuck he wants. Seriously. I have to admit, that looks fun. I think Joey might be in a bit over his head, though.

Also in over his head is Rodger, who got a bit too wrapped up in becoming a father and forgot his brain. He's hired a videographer to "memorialize" the birth of their son. The Zoe is not happy. She's like, "Oh, how about I hire a camera crew to tape your colonoscopy?" which is pretty funny. Rodger is like, "No sillies, they aren't going to film your icky lady parts!" but Rachel shuts it down. I have to admit, I don't blame her. I mean, is he a total moron? What woman wants a fucking professional film crew up in their face while they're in labor? I guess to make up for it, or just because they're really rich, Rodger goes to some hoity toity jeweler to look at some "sick diamonds." These diamonds are like, as big as a nickel. Insane. Rodger wants to present it to her after she gives birth, I suppose as an apology for putting a baby in her and making her push it out. It's actually kind of sweet...ish.

Joey is getting all pumped for his Molly Sims fitting and he's doing pretty well until Mandana comes in and freaks him out completely. He's confident, but she points out that he doesn't actually know how to do anything. Oops! She's right! He holds up a sparkly pink dress that looks like it could fit about six Molly Simses in it, but whatever. He's off to New York! His brother Eli is meeting him to help, and Joey is so excited because Eli is to him what Joey is to Rachel. I think he means that literally. Eli might actually be his gay BFF. Honestly, it's weird. Is he gay or is that just what men in Joey's family sound like? My question is quickly answered when within minutes Eli says, "OMG I love it" and then makes a Donna Summer reference. Thanks for clearing that up, Eli.

Joey has 90 minutes to do Molly's hair, makeup, fit her and dress her. That's a little bonkers. Molly shows up - all 11 feet of her - and she doesn't seem to be terribly thrilled with Joey's options. Joey is realizing that women are chock full of body issues. Molly needs a certain length to make her legs look good. She feels mannish if her shoulders are bare. I mean honestly, if someone as stunning as Molly Sims takes this long to feel pretty in a dress, it kind of makes me feel better. She finally settles on the dress I hated. I still think it looks big on her. Whatever, at least her disgusting mannish shoulders are covered. Everyone else, including The Zoe, is thrilled though, further proving I know nothing about fashion.

But hey, who cares? Rachel's having a baby! It's 4:05 a.m. and Rachel's water just broke. Rodger's totally ignoring her requests by filming the entire thing. She's in the bathroom doing her hair, telling Rodge to fuck off and covering her entire head in Elnett spray. It's kind of amazing. I guess all those grand plans to have Joey over to do her hair and makeup flew out the window once she had that first contraction, huh?

Five hours later and The Zoe is still in labor. Marisa and assistant Kendall have to get the nursery set up. Marissa wants to get everything done ASAP, but Rachel and Rodger are "so superstitious" about bringing baby things in the house. Now, I don't know for a fact, but Rachel and Rodger seem to be Jewish, right? His name is Berman and hers is actually Rosenzweig, so I'm just going to call it an educated guess. I don't know how alright it is for Marisa to be calling her religious beliefs "superstitions," but whatever. Anyway, Marisa makes the executive decision to start setting up the nursery. The problem is, she needs help. So who does she call? Jeremiah of course! He knows how to set up rooms and shit! Make him do it! Marisa and Kendall go out, buy everything and dump it on a very confused Jeremiah before promptly leaving for the hospital. And yet again, Jeremiah is left alone to work on Rachel Zoe's house. Sheesh. The poor guy is hoping this will help him weasel his way back into the company. Jeremiah, move on. Seriously, just move on. 

Rodger whines about how long childbirth takes. Someone smack him, please? I'm pretty sure you're doing just fine playing on your Blackberry out in the lobby with all your friends while Rachel goes through 16 hours of labor. Idiot. But then there's a baby! Skyler Morrison Berman is born and he is tiny and squishy and kind of ugly, like all newborns. Aww! Next week we get to see more of him. Plus, Rachel and Rodger wear stupid hipster hats and Jeremiah is back...again.
