I just realized part of my first response made no sense... let's try again...
Elodie... • will find Barney totally adorable and wants to ruffle his hair. Plus, she'll find the way Stella clearly likes him very cute. But she will wonder if Cal has figured it out... • is something of a feminist herself since her mother did the whole building a life for herself without any help from anyone thing. She would like Mel. • will glare at Lee. Humph. • will not be impressed with Yakov, but will mostly worry that maybe he needs some kind of help from a medical professional since he doesn't seem to care for himself.
Elena... • will either be amused or flummoxed by Barney's denseness. Only time will tell. • won't have a problem with Mel that I can think of. • won't notice. Lee will have to get in line, it would seem... • says YAY. Except it is more like when the girl in Igby Goes Down says "that's funny" in a monotone instead of actually laughing.
