    I'm always here for funny jokes(racist, dark or other it doesn't really matter) and I got what I came for. Tho, this episode was too long so it lost main idea. It was a little bit too messy and all over the place.

And you are nothing but great to your ho, and you told her that she was the only ho for you, and that she was better than all the other hos in the world. And then... Then suddenly she's not your ho no mo'!
