Wendy is sitting in the dark staring at her laptop while wearing the cutest little pajamas. She’s looking at those bootleg drug websites for products containing that banned substance and once she finds one, she orders it. This bitch is for real cray cray because this is beyond just being spiteful, this is some pure evil shit.


But my thighs are built for anchor position! 

Payson is now working with Coach Keegan who tells her that she keeps getting better each time she performs but Payson believes she is getting stale and that she needs to spice up her routine. Keegan says that her strength is at the edge and the NGO wants something safe which is why she is going to be a great lead off. Payson gets pissed because she has always been the anchor who brings home the performances. She storms off to talk to Mac and tells him that she is better than the girl who gets the ball rolling. Coach lays it out to her that since her back injury her routines have not been anchor level and that he isn’t trying to discourage her but he is trying to groom her as lead off because she is consistently safe. He tells her that she needs to think of the team and have the best performance of her life. Even though he is basically telling her that she has a spot on the team, it isn’t enough for Payson.


Why is she chopping random vegetables anyway? 

Payson is speaking with Kaylie in the kitchen area and telling her what Mac told her about being an anchor. As she is angrily explaining everything, she’s chopping vegetables with a large knife that she keeps pointing at Kaylie. Kaylie gets her to put the knife down and guides her to a table and says that at least he is telling her she has a spot on the team. Payson says she is grateful for that but they both know that anchors don’t medal and she wants an individual medal more than anyone else. Kaylie says that for the last few years they all discussed going but that they can’t all stand on the first place spot together. You know my comment about Payson having a nice body…I take that back as I stare at her cottage cheese thighs. Lauren walks up and they are surprised to see her. She briefly says Hi before heading into Mac’s office while Payson gets a text to hang with Rigo. Kaylie gets a little jealous and Payson says that she will find true love one day before ditching her for Rigo.


He’s about to get a restraining order on her ass. 

Things aren’t looking too good for Lauren as Mac tells her that she needs to leave the gym because she is not allowed to do any strenuous work due to her heart condition. Lauren begs him to let her stay because if she can’t work out then she can’t get ready for trials. She says it isn’t fair because of her injury and he tells her that it happens all the time but that he cannot take that risk with her. Lauren asks when can she get into the gym and he tells her that he needs approval from her doctor first and then asks her to leave. I’m not going into detail on the Rigo and Payson scenes because they are super boring to be honest. I don’t know why I can’t be happy for her but whatever. Basically he wants to know if she regrets having sex with him and she isn’t because he helped her find herself and she’s happy with him.


Are we in 3rd grade Kaylie?  

Kaylie meanwhile looks like a crazy woman writing in her journal about the things she is grateful for. Ok…I noticed this previously when she had her addiction last year but I wasn’t recapping at that point but she has TERRIBLE handwriting. For someone who is supposed to be about 18-19ish, she writes at the level of a 2nd grader. Seriously…it’s a tv show, they couldn’t get a PA with better skills to write for her?

    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.

    Okay found a description of that case I was talking about if anyone is interested.

    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.
