And to be totally honest, she seems to be thriving.
But the biggest takeaway is that Christinas clean.
And theres no one better to help a young girl in the industry than someone whos been there.

But in terms of the here and now, Christina has found a place where she seems to belong.
Elsewhere, Alvey asks his therapist to take him off Lexapro.
And she says yes, so at least she got something out of it.
An ex-fighter, Dom coached in New Jersey before moving to L.A. four months ago.
Also, why is he packing protein powder in his hotel room?
Then theres Jay, whos fighting harder than anyone currently inside a cage.
Hes fighting his true self, and hes fighting to keep his job.
The tenant from hell?
Yeah, hes now threatening to file a police report.
When Jay claims he was provoked, Dan asks, What are you, a fing wild dog?
to which I want to scream, YES!
THATS EXACTLY WHAT HE IS!
But instead, Jay calms down enough to grovel.
I can do better.
In other words, adios tenant from hell!
(Oh, and he asks him not to tell Lisa, which is the first red flag.)
Although, Ryan seems to be the only one letting loose.
Remember that time Casey told her cousin in Anaheim?
Well, Dixon trains in Anaheim.
But that doesnt mean Nate is ready to tell his father.
Hes had such a great day with his dad.
In fact, this episode has some of my favorite Nate-Alvey scenes.
It seems Jay forgot to invite his father.
More on that later.
So long, UFC.
As for Alvey, he ends the night how he ends all nights with a drink in his hand.
As he puts it, men drink for three reasons: ritual, pain relief, and py.
And that sips for pain relief.
Im amazed at how much Frank Grillo and Jonathan Tucker can get across with a phone call.
I really liked this episode.
It had a lighthearted quality to it with the Nate-Alvey interactions and with Lisa running around being a boss.
With only eight episodes left, Im reminded how lucky we are to have this show at all.
