When she's not training her own clients, Jackie walks the floor, assessing the others. The camera follows her as she meanders around, stopping near Brian and a client. Right away, she starts correcting him in front of the woman. The Peeler keeps his game face, but you can tell he's livid.

“Are you an idiot? What are you doing?” he complains later. “I have to do my style to keep my clients. I don't need to do Jackie's style. If I need to do Jackie's style, I'll send my clients to go train with Jackie. That just pissed me off.”

Brian confides in Doug and Andre. “I was sick to my stomach,” Brian says dramatically. Andre's eyebrows go up in disbelief, and I'm right there with them. Get over yourself pal. You're gonna be laid low by a power dyke more than once if you're going to work at Sky Sport, Vision High in the Sky.

Rebecca and Erika are also talking about the incident. Rebecca sides with Brian, quelle surprise. “I think he was put off, as I was as well,” she tells Erika. “How do you feel about Jackie?” Erika asks. Why Erika, are you trying to stir up something? Rebecca smiles and says, “I think Jackie is bad ass, she has a lot of male energy I like.”

The conversation turns to flirting. Erika asks, “What about you and Peeler, why do you guys flirt so much?” Rebecca says proudly, “I'm a flirty person, I flirt with girls, guys, grandmas, you name it.” Erika ventures, “And you don't find that in the workplace, maybe that's inappropriate?” Rebecca says, “This is a sexual environment, we're bent over, we're grunting, it's just very out there... We got booties in da air!”

Erika takes a very different view, “I have a rule, first time you flirt with me, ok. Second time you flirt with me, I'm gonna be a little annoyed. Third time you flirt with me, you're fired.” None of this computes with Rebecca, all she can say is, “wow.” Why so harsh, Erika Jolie? Is it because your Mr. Right is actually Ms. Right? OK, that's just me, wishful thinking.

Look everyone, a “real” person is at the gym. Alina is a hair stylist who wants to lose weight and reduce the size of her breasts to avoid surgery. In knife-happy L.A., the idea that Erika Jolie and Jackie want her to work it off, instead of cut it off, is actually refreshing.

Right about now, I've finally noticed all the trainers and clients are wearing the same necklace--a big silver washer on a thin black leather cord. If $400 an hour doesn't make you feel special, perhaps this members-only costume jewelry will?

In comes 80's singer Jody Watley, who's lookin' for a new bod, baby, a new bod, for an upcoming video shoot.  Doug keeps her busy to make sure she doesn't get bored and leave early. If I were paying those rates, I'd be trying to sneak in an extra ten minutes, not leave early.

At a staff meeting, Jackie reiterates her motto, “My place, my rules.” She looks right at Brian. Later, Brian pulls Jackie aside. “We're both the same personality," he says. Jackie cuts him off. “OK, we're not the same personality, because I've learned to control myself better than you have. You can't, for every situation, be balls-out who you are.” Yeah, Brian, especially if who you are is “The Peeler.” Eeesh. Good night, and drive safely.

The next morning, Jackie and Mimi are just waking up. We're told Mimi's eleven years younger than Jackie, but I suspect she's even younger because she's wearing footie pajamas. OK, they're not footie pajamas, but they're long sleeve and flannel and she's wearing socks. Is that what all the young, hot, Beverly Hills lesbians are wearing these days? Tres sexy.

Jackie tells Mimi over morning coffee by the pool she's thinking of letting someone go. Gee, I wonder who that could be? She has three interviews lined up for the day, all of whom Jackie will later parade right in front of Brian's nose.
