Bad Darius is back!

Darius tries to sign a new client, a down-on-his-luck rock legend named Pagan Smith. But when Jamie publicly questions the idea of having his former idol play soft-seaters to an aging demographic, Darius puts him in charge of signing Pagan. He unkindly reminds Jamie that he's the only A&R Rep (junior or no) without any clients. Seems the man's good will in the wake of exploiting Patsy's death has gone out the window. Awesome!

Jamie ends up telling Pagan that if he wants to sign with someone he can trust, G Major isn't where he should be. Then he barges into Darius' office to quit. D's the voice of reason, telling Jamie that he's got a gift for connecting with musicians and asking if he's gonna let Patsy kill that too. Jamie quits anyway and calls him "baldie" on the way out. It would have been awesome if Darius just murdered him on the spot. But he didn't. And Pagan liked Jamie's refreshing honesty, so Jamie uses Pagan to leverage a new title and an office out of Darius.

In the land of people Jamie's barely speaking to: Jude has decided to organize a benefit for a Homeless Youth Shelter in memory of Patsy on what would have been her 23rd birthday (really? 23? I guess we'll just chalk it up to hard-living and move on). She's in over her head and asks Sadie to help. But by "help," she meant "do it all," and when Sadie encounters the mall manager from hell and barely loses her temper (after A LOT of bitch baiting), Jude gets pissed and accuses her sister of trying to sabotage her to make her feel better about her own crappy life.

Apparently Sadie being jealous is so two seasons ago and she doesn't have time to be treated like a doormat. She's going to be an intern. At the UN. In New York. Huh? Jude bitches to Tommy, who makes her see that Sadie's one of the only people she will always be able to count on and that she's taken her for granted (true). It's a lot like Jamie's "It's time to grow up" speech and I like that Jude has the maturity to take it to heart and apologize for her bratty behavior. Meanwhile, Sadie's been talking to Kwest and has realized she should cut her little sister a break on account of the crushing guilt of Patsy's death.

The formidable Harrison sisters work together to defeat the evil mall manager and put on the benefit. Jude pulls Sadie up on stage to thank her, tell her how much she'll miss her when she's in New York (like she'll actually go) and make her play the tambourine (Manny Santos style). Later Jamie breaks my heart a little when Jude gets all hopeful, saying she's glad he came to the benefit and that she thinks Patsy would have loved it. He gets that cold look he's been wearing a lot lately and says, "A concert in a mall? I don't know about that," before walking off. The boy seriously needs a hug. Not that he'd let anyone give him one.

In other news: Sadie and Kwest are officially in a committed relationship, Mr. Harrison can't pay his bills and is selling off old Dylan albums, I'm pretty sure no one goes to school anymore and I suspect Darius is assembling an army of squeegee kids as part of an underground drug cartel (though as of yet, I have little proof).

Next week: Tommy and Jude totally make out. In a church. Hot!
