Things are reaching critical mass — in front of everyone, no less. Being embarrassed in front of her staff is Jackie's worst nightmare. Finally, Jackie says to Mimi, “Why don't you just leave.”

Mimi screeches, “Stop it !”

Jackie's drunk too, when she says, “I'm asking you to leave.”

Mimi yells, “I am asking you to stop it.”

Jackie counters, “I'm asking you to stop torturing me.”

“I am not torturing you,” Mimi screams.

Jackie shouts in her face, “Leave my existence!” Leave my existence? Be gone with you, woman! I hereby banish you from Sky Sport and Spa!

The whole staff is craning their necks to see more, their mouths agape. Rebecca says: “Seeing the toxicity of Mimi and Jackie's relationship is truly eye-opening. … I just sit back and watch [giggle] like a train wreck. You just can't take your eyes away.”

Mimi says: “Jackie. Jackie. I've got something to tell you.”

“I don't care,” Jackie says dismissively. “Anything you have to tell me I'm not interested in.” Jackie's sitting with Peeler's girlfriend, Kate, and Rebecca, confessing that she's being bitten and hit on a regular basis. Rebecca and Kate are scandalized.

Everything goes slow-motion. Mimi turns away, then turns back. Here's the windup. And the pitch. Mimi hurls her drink right at Jackie's head. Jackie ducks and the glass shatters on the wall behind her. Everyone shrieks. Rebecca and Kate jump back. Rebecca screams, “OK, like glassware, what are we, 2 years old?” Peeler picks up Mimi like sack of potatoes and carries her outside.

That was the last straw. Jackie says: “She humiliated me in front of my staff and my friends. Enough is enough. I'm done. It's over.”

Jesse, Rebecca and Jackie are huddled together after Mimi gets thrown out. “That was insane! Who does that?” Jesse asks, shocked.

Rebecca says simply, “She's this crazy Brazilian lesbian.” Why ya gotta go and disparage Brazilians and lesbians, Rebecca?

No use pretending everything's fine anymore. Jackie says: “I told you. And by the way, I've been [expletive] choked and punched all week, OK?”

But wait — here are Jackie's last words on her relationship with Mimi: “I know I'm a handful … I'm controlling. I have a strong ego, and I'm flirtatious. I like my sexual power. I don't apologize for those things. So you have to be a strong person to date me. You have to be a person that's evenly matched. … I feel like another chapter of my life is waiting to happen because I'm way too strong, way too independent and way too self-assured, and on the fast track. I don't need to be held down by a 26-year-old girl anymore.”

She stands out on the deck of Sky Sport and Spa with her arms crossed; I imagine a cape fluttering in the breeze behind her. “I will shoot to the stars this year,” she declares heroically. “I will bring everybody with me. And we're going to have the most amazing, amazing experience and success. Now the sky's the limit for me.” The staff all rally behind Jackie. She knows she'll be fine, with their help.

It's so sappy, I can't take it. Here's what probably happened: Erika Jolie realizes why she never met Mr. Right when she starts training a woman from the HRC. Doug and Brian defect and open a gym in Pasadena called Peeler's Palace of Pain and Pleasure, but they're shut down by the vice squad after two weeks. Rebecca marries her well-endowed boyfriend and gets breast implants. They earn notoriety on the internet as Boobalicous and Magnum. Zen gets artificially inseminated by Doug, but they have a falling-out over designer infant clothing. Jesse still works at Sky Sport, where he continues to kiss Jackie's ass. Andre gets called up for active duty and is never heard from again. Mimi and Jackie are each dating one-half of a couple who broke up last month. They remain friends.
