With great success comes influence and power, but knowing when and how to use it is a problem for many in Julia's circle. With being the kind of hit that has allowed the station to finance programs that may not have seen the light of day, Julia has power. However, there is an adjustment for all involved with this newfound power. Julia seems to have gained a slight ego as the demand grows for a second volume of Julia and Simca's cookbook. Julia was raised by a man who may not have seen her as the most feminine but did make it clear to her that their family's legacy is that of proud people, who often had to be innovative to be providers and have a purpose. With that in mind, you can see Julia do such with her show. Whether it was paying for parts of it, to cut costs, having friends help, and even doing classes to help get things done, she took on a leadership role with the type of team required to get to where she is now. This is why you have to admire that when Alice says professional, Julia doesn't see what she does as unprofessional. She recognizes what has worked to get her where she is and that these people who know her, and her process, are pros at what they do. Now, can they take those skills and maybe jump onto another show, and it is smooth sailing? Possibly not. However, they know Julia's routine. The same goes for Alice. She saw what Julia sometimes didn't when it came to the show, and while Russ gets credit for the mirror view idea, Alice is the one who got Julia on-air and sold her to other markets. She is a key pillar to her success, so even if she made a faux pas, she is part of the team, the family, and thus, while corrected, she wasn't abandoned. If anything, she was brought in closer and her place secured. So, taking the reins, when Hunter proposes a second season, Julia makes sure to secure Alice's position and give herself and her team breaks throughout the season and have the station pay for groceries. Hunter accepts all of this because, with more stations purchasing Julia's show, she has all the power here.
