While there is no doubt that Honey has maintained her modesty and down-to-earth sensibility despite the whirlwind of success that has unexpectedly swept her up, it would certainly be understandable if some of Honey's prosperity went to her head just a little bit. Therefore, it is totally acceptable that she feels entitled to stroll into a class she does not teach and change the music without asking; on the other hand, Honey seemed less than thrilled when Benny showed up to an earlier session and did the exact same thing . Perhaps this "new" Honey derives some smug pleasure from the fact that Benny has changed his tune and joined the ranks of her former students.

And yet, in contrast to the Honey-centric safety of the Centah, the real world holds real threats for Honey. B.B., alarmed that his grip on Benny's future as a drug dealer is weakening thanks to Honey's meddling ways, is immunized to the inestimable power of Honey's agreeability; this alone renders B.B. one of the most powerful men in the world, as the President of the United States would probably braid Raymond's hair himself after one flash of Honey's beaming grin.

Indeed, with the power to conquer entire industries with her sunny disposition alone, Honey is distinctly vulnerable to anyone who doesn't find her delightful. Obviously, Honey does not even realize how vulnerable she is: as a young, attractive woman walking home alone through the ghetto in the middle of the night, confronted with a large, threatening man who is a criminal with personal grievances against her, Honey decides this would be a good time to talk back ("Tell [Benny] I'm lookin' for him." "I'm not gonna do that") instead of keeping her mouth shut until she's in a safe place.

For a lifelong resident of the Bronx, Honey is consistently surprised by and unprepared for any contact with the "hood" part of the hood. Common sense may prompt most young women to avoid walking alone in  the Bronx in the middle of the night, but Honey has decided that optimism is her best weapon against crime. In fact, Honey is proved right when her love interest, Chaz, appears from nowhere and compels B.B. to leave her alone. Surely, however, the trauma of encountering another person who doesn't find her delightful will haunt Honey for years to come; this is surely the impetus behind Honey's announcement that she plans to buy some pepper spray "or something" tomorrow.

Finally, as if Chaz or the audience did not find Honey Daniels charming enough, Honey takes an "America's sweetheart" tumble as she prances upstairs to her apartment. Chaz's attraction to Honey is only enhanced by her lovable clumsiness, as it reveals a sillier and less perfect side of her. Alternatively, Chaz may be laughing because he greased the steps himself to remind Honey that he saved her life and he can take it away just as easily.
