I really like Rachel’s family, including her sister, Pamela. I think she is so supportive, however at 25:54 , I wanted to make her disappear. Joey is trying to do the final touch-up on Rachel’s makeup, right before she has to present her collection, that she put her heart and soul into for so long, to some of the most important people in the business. Yet, Pam decides this is the moment to tell her to think about all that she has achieved and to really take in the moment. Rachel makes it clear she is way too nervous to think about anything, and she’d rather not think to keep her mind clear and control her nerves. Joey then even tells Pam to shut up and not make Rachel cry with her overly emotional speech. Pam is standing on top of Joey and he barely has the space to take care of Rachel’s makeup. Her sister was so annoying in that moment and kept going on and on. Rachel is about to give this huge presentation, isn’t it common sense to maybe keep your emotional “I am so proud of you” speech till after the presentation is over!? I know Pam just came from a place of big sisterly love and pride, but she picked the worst moment. Give your sister space, don’t crowd her makeup artist/hair stylist and don’t make her cry right before this huge moment.
