Dr. Walker breaks up the lovely conversation by walking in and excusing Payson and Kaylie from the room. Lauren seems enthusiastic but Dr. Walker reminds her that the surgery is not a miracle cure and there was a reason why she was not considered a candidate previously. He doesn’t know how her heart will heal and that there is a real chance she will not heal in time for the Olympics.


Violet schemes to take down Charlie. 

Wendy turns in her piss test and asks Annie what substances are banned because she feels like she is coming down with something and she knows they will be testing more frequently as eliminations come up. She is told not to take anything with the active ingredient of Pseudoephedrine because it will cause an automatic elimination. Wendy is told to get lots of rest and drink plenty of fluids but we all know she isn’t coming down with anything. Wendy has become my favorite character so far because she’s even worse than Sheila on a good day. Who knew maliciousness could be wrapped in such a cute package?


Woop woop, pull over dat ass too fat. 

The girls are all stretching and talking about Coach Keegan who is in Mac’s office. Kaylie says he is the one that made her fall in love with gymnastics and I just noticed this but damn, Payson is packing. Ayla has a heck of a body…get it girl! Anyway Jordan keeps her distance from Keegan which is weird considering she spent so much time with him previously and that’s why Kaylie hated her. I really think something bad happened and that’s why she not only doesn’t want to be around him but she can’t perform her signature move that he helped her create. Pretty sure someone got molested!


Who gossips that obviously? 

Meanwhile, Kaylie is attempting to start her routine but can’t concentrate due to some other girls nearby gossiping about her and Austin breaking up…at least that’s what she assumes. What if they were making fun of her for a loose tampon string or her terrible arm hair? Jordan walks up to her and asks her how she is doing. They whine that they strive for perfection but that perfection drives others away. Jordan offers some advice to Kaylie that she use her anger to fuel her gymnastics because that is what Jordan does. Jordan then walks up to the gaggle of girls gossiping and threatens to punch one if they don’t scatter.


That seems a little close. 

Wendy is working on her routine with Coach Keegan who attempts to correct her by putting her into correct position but he gets REAL close to her vajayjay and slaps her thighs a little too much. Putting my money on molestation at this point! He tells her that she is good but her performance needs to be flawless prompting her to ask who her closest competition is. Keegan says he can’t say and Wendy says that she’s sorry to put him in a pickle but it could be a learning tool for her. Keegan says that it’s Kaylie and that as a kid she was destined for the Olympics and Wendy tells him that it’ll be their little secret. Coach Mac tells Jordan that it is her turn to work with Keegan and she makes up an excuse that she has physical therapy and goes to grab her bag. Coach Mac tells Keegan that he’s been working on her attitude and Keegan warns him that she is very jealous and to watch her when he works with other students. Keegan offers to talk to her about performing her special move since he did help her create it. Jordan walks out while they are talking and gives him stank face…man he really did a number on her.


Is Jordan Jelly?

Steve is walking along side Lauren as she is wheeled over to surgery. They are soon joined by Payson and Kaylie who tell Lauren how much they love her and that they are in this together. In the waiting room later that day, Dr. Walker comes in and lets the trio know that it was a success and that Lauren will be able to leave as soon as she wakes up. However, they will need to monitor her heart rhythms to determine if they have truly changed. He says she should be back to normal soon and Payson questions if normal is good enough for the Olympics. Debbie Downer!

    SG, you totally called what happened to Jordan. Don’t like the girl, but I felt for her!

    As for Wendy, girl is Cray! With as much pseudoephedrine she put in that shake, They both can get kicked off the team! Unless she poured herself a glass first, I don’t remember.

    I think Ayla has a rocking body and some of those leo’s they put her in, do not do that woman any favors!

    Sad horns for next week!

    I called it here on the comments about Jordan being molested. I don’t think one episode can really wrap all of this up properly. At this point only Payson and maybe Lauren will be going unless Wendy screws up the drugging Kaylie. Yeah, I would not trust anyone if I was there about giving me food or water.

    Will miss this show. I don’t think he has molested Wendy yet but he might be grooming her. Usually they have to groom the girls a bit before going for the molesting. Yuck.

    Gah…I feel like there are way too many things to try and tie up in one episode. It all feels so rushed as it is, and now I have a feeling that the finale will be the same. I sincerely hope somehow Wendy gets caught and kicked off the team for drugging Kaylie. I am still irritated as to why she is so intent on sabotaging the Rock girls in the first place, and sadly, I don’t think we are going to get a suitable explanation. SG—I seriously thought the same thing when Wendy dumped a crap load of the Pseudoephedrine in the smoothie, like, “Dude, are you nuts? This isn’t Ibuprofen you’re giving her, it is basically speed! Kaylie’s going to die from an overdose, you lunatic!”

    I totally knew Jordan was molested by the coach. And him being all creepy with Wendy in the gym solidified it. The back story with Kaylie and her refusing to do her signature move led right to it. I thought the moment between Jordan and Kaylie at the end was really well done.

    I actually am going to be pretty mad if Lauren makes the team. I feel like they have given her character this challenge to help her grow as a person, and that means not having her go to the Olympics. Lord knows that they will let her go so she can, what, do ONE beam routine? Maybe all the way through? Totally unrealistic that they are even letting the girl train! Sad for it all to end though :(

    Things I’m Grateful For In This Episode

    1) The writers throwing all cheesiness caution to the wind and saying fuck it

    2) “Let’s get some sizzle up in here”

    3) Making bets with myself to see if I can find even tiny 1 thing @SG missed and always winning.

    4) Rigo being even dorkier than his hair

    5) Little Evil Wendy making pseudoephedrineberry smoothies

    6) “I’m used to monitoring these girls for all types of reasons”

    7) Forgetting to make the I Took A Pain Pill warning #1 on this list

    8) Next week: It’s good-bye forever as Jordan and her secret ninja bunny save Little Evil Wendy from getting almost child molested by Creepy Coach doing his redneck politician imitation. Just then Payson redefines gymnastic salsa. Which makes it more organically white people friendly but also unfortunately causes a vortex of Olympic size black holes to eat the universe. Nothingness ensues.

    Want to know something weird? I took gymnastics at a gym that had a sex scandal for reals. The owner had consensual sex with an underage student of his. I think she was 16 or 17. There was a trial. I think he got off with like probation or something. The gym is still open to this day. His wife never left him that I knew of and kept running the gym while that was going on. Crazyness.

    April you did call it! I just feel like the fans will get a very shitty sendoff sort of like what happened with the end of LOST. There’s probably no promise of a movie either which would have been nice if it were set at the Olympics and we found out how everyone placed.

    This show has never gone in for realism, alas, so I’ll bet Lauren, Payson & kaylie all somehow make the Olympic team and medal, at least as a group. How the heck ABC will wrap all the storylines, get them to the Olympics AND show the competition, is beyond me.

    What I WISH would happen instead is that none of them make this Year’s team, and the episode ends as other girls head to London. Then a scroll over epilogue about their futures:
    Wendy shaped up, after (whatever Meaningful Moment created in the finale where she repents) and medal led in 2016.
    Payson became a sought after coach, and doctor. She and Rigo broke up but still exchange Xmas cards.
    Kaylie is a guidance counselor.
    Lauren hawks on the home shopping network.
    Emily (remember her?) owns a pizzaria.
    Kelly/KC is a sports agent.
    Jordan runs a bunny rescue.
    Etc.

    Escapee you hit the mark on the epilogues! I would only change thet Jordan runs the pizzeria because she eats a lot and that bunny is no where near being safe and that Emily runs the bunny rescue because she loves breeding.

    I never noticed how awful Kaylie’s handwriting is, thanks for pointing it out. It looks like someone that broke their normal writing hand and now either has to work with a cast or write with their other hand. Did anyone else notice that the ‘page’ she tore out of her diary was perfectly smooth on all edges and the page was still larger than the rest of the pages in the diary. Plus, there was that torn-out-page-part still in the diary.

    The bottle Wendy had the mystery powder in was a Benefit cosmetics jar, I think it has concealer in it normally. I notice random stuff like that, not very useful.

    Unless the final episode is 2 hours, there is no way they could actually end this show on a good note. They better not leave it on a cliff hanger with hopes that the viewers will do a petition to ABCFamily to put the show back on the air. They knew they only had 8 episodes to wrap it all up, I don’t know why they are trying to introduce new plot lines so close to the end.

    Carol—interesting about the cosmetics jar Wendy uses to hold the pseudoephedrine powder. I thought it was intended (initially) to be a lip gloss case, as she pretends to be “putting on” lip gloss when someone sees her with it (I think this was in the sneak peak clip for next week).

    I agree about not being able to wrap up the series properly. The previews showed them winning something but with all the storylines they’ve written and the Olympics, it seems impossible.

    I’ll miss your recaps SG!!

    Congrats to everyone who called the creepy coach thing! I didn’t think that until he was “fixing” Wendy’s leg in the gym.

    I thought Kaylie had sex??

    This show always seems to address sex pretty extensively..so I figured if Kaylie had had sex with Austin, it definitely would have been discussed/mentioned like when she was contemplating having sex with Carter in season 1.

    @carol I went back and looked and you’re right! I didn’t notice the wrong note paper at all. (Which is no big surprise) But @SG didn’t either! So if you bet yourself pizza she’d miss something, you won!

    I always bet she won’t and win. But that’s the trick to betting yourself. Either way, you end up with pizza.

    So to keep things 100% fair, since you discovered that, I’m counting that I also lost. And now owe myself another pizza.
