I've vicariously experienced the emotional turmoil caused due to the crashing of expectations from close ones through TV, films and books but seeing it happen with one of my close ones has made me more sensible to such issues.
It is a cause of concern to look at your friend consternate at the egregious taunts of her best friend and in a jiffy adumbrate a rosier picture of everything swinging back to normal at the slightest attempt of a preposterous and conspicuously pretentious adulation by the latter. Although she might be soliloquising aloud that "The grass is always greener on the other side", some part of her believes that some preternatural transformation might take her back to square one with her former best friend. Any attempt at making her realize the futility of cherishing the vestiges of a relationship which was supposedly built on the principle of trust and equality shall go in vain.
People need to be given their time to handle such things. Although as a friend we can give her suggestions, but the dictates of a friendship straitjacket your role to giving suggestions and not enforce it in an authoritarian manner.
