Thank you. This really is about Holly but I recognized that is was an opportunity to showcase Carla as well. She's making the most of her newfound opportunity. She's tuning up to put it to one of Katie's girls!

I have to give Holly this much... she's taking it like a big girl. And this has got to be tough. Not only is she getting beat six ways from Sunday, but listen to the way Carla and Steph are talking. I don't think they mean to be... well, mean... but talking about how the two of them are going to go at it after this is over? They may not have intended it, but that's pretty cold. Almost like saying the two of us will have a REAL fight after we get done slapping this jobber around.

I love your take here. It seems to be exactly what is happening

I've got to agree with this and it's why I keep saying this isn't a good look for Allison. Sure, see whether Holly's got what it takes.
But there's no need to rub it in like this nor to go about it in this manner. Even if this 'works', I'm kind of disappointed in Allison in particular for not going about it in a different way.
Particularly when we have the comparison of how she went about testing Stephanie's skills.

True - I was thinking more what you said about Stephanie and Carla bantering, I think. But no, this isn't public shaming.
And I can't disagree entirely either, albeit I think part of Allison actually wants to see Holly just give up. Which is why I feel this is particularly harsh. Holly steeled herself to offer to fight and this is her reward.
As for what Holly does, I suppose it depends. She certainly seemed to be steeling herself for something but the question remains whether she's got what it takes to beat Stephanie. Oh well, guess we will see!

Thanks for the thoughts. I really enjoy reading everyone's take on how this is going down. Is it right? Is it harsh? Is it mean? I love all these little questions. My only thing to add as it compares to Stephanie is she had a pretty good idea Stephanie had been in the battles before and knew what she had been through. Deep down she felt if Stephanie could get her head around her past she'd be good to go. She doesn't have that same feeling with Holly. and it's understandable. She wants Holly to succeed, but at the same time isn't certain Holly has it in her and is trying to prove it to her. It's tough love for sure. We will see how it plays out.

Fair points. And certainly, I think Holly calls for a different approach to Stephanie. At the same time, I just feel that it's for Holly to make this decision. If she wants to fight, Allison's focus ought to be more on making her as ready as possible instead of trying to convince her otherwise.
Even if that means Holly gets hurt.
Just my view, for what it's worth. At the same time, I love that ambiguity in Allison and I think it makes her a more fascinating, multi-faceted character - something I hope to see more of.

Thank you. I've seen this used from time to time and wanted to see if I could replicate
