While certain guidelines and respectful boundaries are completely fair, Leslie is taking things way too far by demanding to be officially listed as a producer on the project. This massive, unwarranted grab for power and credit grates heavily on Anita’s nerves. Pushed to her limit, Anita confronts Leslie head-on, though viewers are left wondering if Anita can actually get through to the stubborn woman or if Leslie will simply dig her heels in further to get exactly what she wants.
