Dutchess had a fit, because it was a day before the opening and the place was clearly unfinished. The next day in Dutchess’ shop, her staff members were relaxing and not doing any of the things that she needed them to do. Sky mentioned that Dutchess was having a grand opening in North Carolina, and Donna got it in her head to go to Pretty in Ink to show Dutchess her portfolio (with the thought that Dutchess would beg her to work in her shop).

She at least wanted Dutchess to see that she had been working hard. It seems that Donna wanted some validation from Dutchess that she had improved. Sky accepted the drink, and Donna’s friendship, and Donna chatted with Sky, telling her that she really wanted to show Dutchess her portfolio. During her first staff meeting, Dutchess tried to motivated her staff to work quickly, because her grand opening was soon.ĭonna had the nerve to come to Sky’s place not with money, but with Sky’s favorite drink.
