"Work Out" Recaps: Episode 203

Not that it matters after last night — The next day, Gregg tells Zen his happy news: His case was dismissed. Zen apologizes for not sounding as supportive as she could have. Gregg is instantly appeased and tells her, "You look great." Men are so fricking easy.

Laugh, damn it — It's Zen big debut at the comedy club. Everyone's there, which Zen wanted, because her entire act is about them. This has "train wreck" written all over it.

She invites the 10 people in the audience to "meet Jackie Warner," and Jackie looks like she's going to swallow her tongue. The room also learns that Erika has a great rack and Rebecca has a great crack. Jesse gets a terrible chef/trainer joke. Gregg thinks Zen's act is good, mostly because he lost all sense of reason when he fell for her.

The big show, however, is Jackie and Rebecca, who are all snuggly-wuggly at the table. Brian wants to believe it's because the room is cold. Andre doesn't understand. Erika is very confused. Zen keeps babbling valiantly on stage, but all eyes are on the lovebirds. Rebecca says it was their "coming-out party," and it felt totally normal and natural. For you, maybe.

Coming out — After Zen's show, Jackie and her girlfriend and the others go across the street for sushi. Everyone is too wigged out to eat. Rebecca plays with her chopsticks, and Jackie looks on adoringly. Jesse calls Rebecca out. Everyone's talking at once.

Jackie: Jesse, why are you so bothered by it?
Jesse: Well, I am a little. I'm weirded out by it. Because it's like all of a sudden.
Rebecca: It's not all of a sudden.
Jesse: It is all of a sudden.
Jackie: It's not all of a sudden.
Rebecca: The sexual tension has been building …
Jesse: [to Jackie] You tell me everything, and all of a sudden, you didn't tell me anything about Miss Rebecca all up in your grill.

Jesse has a point. Jackie didn't say anything to him, and she would have if it were anyone else. Clue number two.

Jackie thinks Jesse's drama is pure jealousy. She and Rebecca run to the front of the restaurant to discuss.

Jackie: What the hell is the matter with those guys?
Rebecca: [whispering] I don't know!
Jackie: I had no idea that they would be this judgmental and bizarre. What's your take?
Rebecca: I don't know. What's your take?
Jackie: [fondling Rebecca's hands] Just freaked out by them … their judgments.
Rebecca: Why are you letting them freak you out?
Jackie: Because of their judgments.
Rebecca: That's not like you.
Jackie: I know it's not, but I work with these people.

Holy maki roll, now she's worried she works with these guys?

Brian is incensed. It's an outrage. If anyone is going to act inappropriately and unpredictably, it damn well better be him and no one else.

Rebecca wants to know if Jackie wants her too back off. Jackie drags out a "Nnnnn …" but can't say no because she's Jackie Warner. Rebecca looks coyly down at her shoes and pouts. She is pushing all the right Jackie Buttons. Jackie won't let go of Rebecca's hands. She pulls her closer.

Jackie: I was feeling really good and then that floored me. I'm not going to lie.
Rebecca: OK.
Jackie: All that judgment and you know, "You're a professional and dah dah dah …" Because these are all feelings that I've been feeling, so it's a little weird.
Rebecca: OK, I can respect that.

Rebecca thinks they should go back to the table and sit with the others, but Jackie has a different idea. She pulls Rebecca to her, draws her in, and they share a long, lingering kiss.

Check, please.

Zen walks into the restaurant late but just in time to see Jackie and Rebecca are no longer kissing sweetly. Jackie has her arms wrapped about Rebecca's body and they're making out like there's no tomorrow.

Next week on Work Out: Rebecca and Jackie rethink their choices and decide to act like professionals. The guys are fully supportive and not at all threatened. Also, hell freezes over.
