At a gym in central Paris, Naoko was furiously pummeling a punching bag.
Naoko: Who does that bastard think he is? Thinks he's too good for me? Thinks Suzuka is better? I'll show him what real women can do!
Rei: No, I just think that Dave is an oblivious simp.
Naoko: You know our motto, we turn simps into giga chads, I won't lose to those other girls!
Rei: You'd probably do better with one of the others.
Naoko: No, it's either Dreamer or nothing!
Naoko furiously destroys the bag.
At a smokey bar at night, Coleen reflects on everything.
Sabine: Things are looking up Coleen, we need you.
Coleen: Dave is a gold mine of cars, we need him, if I can lure him away from Sonic Youth, we race gods will never need to work again.
Sabine: Maybe dial back the booze a bit?
Coleen: I'm not changing for him, if he can't accept the package then he shouldn't make the order.
Sabine: Not sure that analogy works but okay, just don't forget that Giulia is keen on having you back and doesn't like waiting.
Coleen: She'll have to wait.
Inside Larasu's lab, Larasu continues her projects.
Tabitha: Aren't you done with Dave, I think you've explored everything that needs to be done.
Larasu: Not yet, I get the feeling that I can persuade that silent worker personality out, if I'm right then Dave is an unstoppable genius. We can rule the world together!
Tabitha: I think Willow said that the only time it came out was when he had no other choice but to let it takeover.
Larasu: The Montfort beast springs to mind, the legend says that 13 witches changed the cruel Duke into a beast when he broke all their hearts.
Tabitha: I wouldn't play that game Larasu, we Jewel Maidens could probably do a lot worse now compared to a handful of Salem witches.
Larasu: Good point.
At a billiard hall down town, Sujin plays a game with her besty.
Sujin: First time I can afford decent clothes for this over blown body.
Malice: Did the Helkin's give you grief for harming Zoe?
Sujin: Only her mother, the rest praised me for silencing her.
Malice: Electra paid for your wardrobe and even approved your sister to takeover the central territory, were going to become hustlers now.
Sujin: Sounds good, although I'm getting bored of Dave, he's so easy to get money out of, its stopped being a challenge.
Malice: I wouldn't completely get rid of him, he's good to race against.
Sujin: Fair point, now about this Gala. I hope you bring your best black lace gown because I'm taking you to the ball.
Malice: I can't wait to see how you look in your gown.
With a loving embrace, the two were ready to conquer the Gala.
