Back at Sky Sport, Mistress Erika is not happy. "This place is a disaster," she says, eyeing one towel and two jump ropes on the floor. Doug is wearing ripped jeans while training a client. Erika asks, "What's with the jeans?" Doug defends his work attire, "I..um. Uh.. Um.." Boy, you told her, Doug.
Erika whines to herself, "I don't believe this. I'm a trainer. I'm picking stuff up." The indignity of it all; having to put ball and a towel back in their place. Surely there are cleaning people for such lowly work.
Brian has a group class going full tilt outside, "Ya'll hate me. That's good, I love it. Ya'll learn to love to hate me." I hate you, and I didn't have to learn to do it, it came so very naturally.
Back in Palm Springs, Sarah tells us, "I looked Jackie up. I did a little Google session. And Jackie turned up as the crème de la crème."
About Sky Sport, Jackie boasts to Sarah, "It's so inspiring to be up there. I have Paul McCartney and Heather. Nobody stares at you. It's not freakish." A one-legged woman on a treadmill is a little freakish, if you ask me. But hey, I love that sort of thing. Anyway, it must have been a while ago when they were there. Will you still need me; will you still feed me, when I'm 64? Turns out, the answer was “No.”
Back in the gym, Erika hears barking, and no, it's not Peeler. "Dude, what is that? I mean, I know it's a dog. What is he doing here?" She points to a yellow lab that's running around, happy as can be. Zen thinks while Jackie's away it's completely appropriate to bring her dog to work. Erika starts a speech about professionalism and liabilities and blah, blah, blah; no one is listening to her.
Zen says, "Erika is a really good dictator. Stress management is not Erika's strong point. That woman should not be given power. She gets a taste of power and she abuses it." If everyone else is gets to abuse their freedom, isn't it only fair Erika Jolie abuse them by cracking her whip?
Ut oh. There's dog poop on the waffle mat outside on the deck. Yuck, how do you get that out of those nooks and crannies? Doug leans down for a really close look like he's never seen dog poop before. "That is not pretty." Jody Watley concludes, "And that's why there's no dogs in a gym." Erika is having a really bad day. "I walk into the gym for a cardio session and I see poo, cowboy boots, and a dog." Sounds more like a Saturday night in Laramie .
Frankly, I think the poo was from a Halloween store, it looked fake.
On the poo-free side of the gym, Rebecca and Playmate Victoria Fuller are working their glutes and adductors. Except for that, the rest of the place is breaking down like a shotgun. Zen's dog is loose, Andre, Brian and Doug are scoffing at all the rules. Erika decides to crack the In Case of Emergency Break Glass seal and cries out, "I'm calling Jackie. I can't f***ing take this anymore."
Andre jumps in, "We need free playtime. Jackie signs our paychecks, not Erika. When the cat's away, the mice do play! Rarrrrr!" Good thing Jackie will never know what went on while she was out of town. The production crew won't say anything, I'm sure of it. Speaking of production, a helpful recap reader suggested those necklaces everyone has been wearing are actually mics. And after some investigative work on my part, I confirm it's true. Mystery solved.
Jackie and Sarah arrive at the house in Palm Springs. They're heading out to Sarah's tennis court to do a little "power tennis." Sarah tries to set up the automatic machine, but it's lobbing balls too fast for Jackie to return them. Jackie yells at her, "Sarah, come on now. Just because I'm a lesbian, doesn't mean I play tennis."
Jackie says after a few hours with Sarah, "I felt like I'd known her for years. We instantly became friends and had so much playfulness between us. She just makes me smile." Back in LA, Mimi's brain tick just called some friends to come on over for a block party on her temporal lobe.
Jackie and Sarah go for a run in the hills near the house and do some weight training by the pool. Jackie works Sarah's triceps and other upper body parts, all the while touching her back and standing really close. I guess that's what trainers do, but it clearly looks like more than that.
