He also accurately calls out how Naomi was horrible to Lacie for years and isn't any nicer now, only asking her to be maid of honor to make herself look good.

One of the most ''chilling'' images of the episode is Naomi grinning with delight when she realises the boost she's getting as her oldest friend has a sobbing, screaming breakdown because of her.
