Flipping Out on Tuesday, the slap?

[npmommie]

Did anyone see this episode? the client Chuck slapped Trace in the face??

my word, what in the world was he thinking? and they all just sat there like " oh chuck is drunk look what he did hahaha"
they seemed horrified but didn't really say or do anything about it, except finally Jennie..........but it took a few minutes.

First off if I was Trace I would have immediately left, immediately.......... after probably slapping him back out of instinct.

and if I was Jeff I would drop him as a client, I don't care how much money he has.
that was so very inappropriate and crossed soooooo many lines.

anyone else see it, what did you think?
I felt so bad for Trace, he almost looked like he would cry any minute.

I saw it. I was waiting for some type of reaction,too, and was disappointed that the client was not put in his place. I wanted Jeff to say "That's it. We're done." and walk out.

I saw it and I think the whole thing was "scripted". Even Jenni allowing Chuck to hang all over her. This was in the middle of the day. Who drinks like that at lunch on a work day? All scripted.

I used to LOVE this show but week after week it is getting away from Jeff's renovations and flips to drama from within the office; Sarah to Ziola to Jenni ... ugh.

Even that whole 'call Jeff' with Chuck when Chuck and Trace were picking out the tile ... ugh.

So one word "scripted".

I saw it, too. Totally unacceptable behavior. Jeff certainly doesn't hold back when he's yelling at his employees -- he should have told Chuck that he had crossed a line and that they were done.

I don't know if it was scripted or not, but the look on Trace's face was real, and he is not an actor, he looked visible upset to me, he had that look before you cry look to me

What amazed me was the fact Jeff was so upset by the slap, but didn't give a second thought to the fact that Chuck had inappropriately touched Jenny. How can anyone experience "sexual harassment" in the work place and your boss witnessed in and did nothing?

very good point, I was also bothered by his grab on Jenni, but I think when he slapped Trace I just went into super horrified mode.
Jenni handled herself very well, but Jeff imo did not.
