69A It Girl/69B Deconstructing Arnold

Fashion designer Johnny Stitches discovers Helga’s hidden talent for the runway and makes her the new “It Girl”. The more she leans into her prickly persona, the more the crowd loves it. But she’s not a fan of having her ‘natural’ meanness, nastiness, and insensitivity co-opted by everyone in town, so she starts looking for an out. Arnold is separated from his own essential self (a nosy, do-gooder fount of advice) in “Deconstructing Arnold,” when his friends implore him to stop being such a kibitzer (that’s Yiddish for ‘big, fat buttinski’). It’s not long before several moments of crisis have them yearning for his avuncular advice, but Helga steps in to fill the gap – and her suggestions turn P.S. 118 a bit of an amoral bedlam.
