"Work Out" Recaps: Episode 3.6 "Get Nasty"

Sorry about the drunk and dis-robed-ly — Afterward, Renessa goes to Jackie, her tail between her legs, and apologizes for flying her bimbo colors in the bar and for showing up to boot camp with dry mouth. Jackie lets her off with a warning.

In her confessional, Renessa sings a very different tune.

Renessa: I apologized, but at the same time, I'm thinking, "I'm a grown woman. I don't have to apolo — I'm of age." It's unrealistic for people to see someone like me and think that I run 20 miles a day and that I never kick back. It's much more inspirational for people to see that, "Oh look. Oh, she can have a good time, too, and still … she can have it all!" Even Greg. [giggles]

"Someone like her" has it "all"? If by "all" she means an inflated sense of self, a high school education and an 11-year-old kid, then the bar is lower than I thought it was.

Is everyone feeling inspired? I know I am.

Back to reality — It's finally time to go home. Everyone packs their bags and boards the Workout Express for the long ride back to L.A. As the bus pulls away, the Dolphin Bay staff is busy draining the hot tub, re-sanding the bar and hosing the vomit off the beach.

Back at the gym, J.D. is getting to know Brian Peeler's former client, Shannon. Shannon's daughter has cerebral palsy and J.D.'s sister has schizophrenia, so they both understand the stress of having medical problems in the family.

Brian? Brian who?

Plitt moseys into the office and finds Jackie out on the deck, using her Crackberry. He sits down to apologize for sleeping through the last day of boot camp.

Greg: I hope you know, from what you know of me, that's an isolated incident. That's not going to reoccur.
Jackie: [deadpan] Are you an alcoholic?
Greg: [laughs] No … I like training hard and I like going out and having a good time, hard …

Hopefully (for the general public) he's going out and later, somewhere private, having a good time, hard. Anything else would just be, ya know, gross.

Greg: … and everything I do is a hundred percent.
Jackie: The biggest thing is when you play, you still have to pay.

Jackie knows Greg Plitt doesn't take her, the gym or the SkyLab program very seriously. But (a) he's a walking billboard, and (b) he's not an emotional, confrontational knucklehead like Peeler. Jackie forgives him.

However, since she publicly said she was going to take action and has to deliver on that, Jackie punishes Plitt by assigning him Deenie. I'd rather be fired.

Plitt asks what she means by "punishment," to which Jackie replies, "You'll see what I mean," and strolls away, laughing merrily to herself. She is pure evil.
