“Lasting memories”
Aria and Tarah are driving together as the show opens. The scene is a week after Pain for Pride and the ladies are getting ready for Season 10 of EAW. Tarah is picking up both girls to head to the final taping of Battlegound.
Aria Jaxon: Yeah it’s gonna be great. We just got to get past this last weekend and focus on the next thing. This guy Lucas Johnson is challenging me like he’s some god or something.
Tarah Nova: Please, there’s only one gawd… but who the hell is Lucas Johnson?
Aria Jaxon: Exactly. But he’s got the Young Lions Cup, and he’s willing to put that on the line so… I’m game.
Tarah Nova: Well, I don’t know what else to tell you. Kick his ass, take his things… there really isn’t anything else to say. Other than don’t hang your head on Pain for Pride. You’ll be back. You’re too talented to stop now.
The two pull into a parking lot and Tarah lays on the horn. A few minutes later Cailin Dillon comes jogging out of the front door of a hotel with bright orange hair and the camera.
Aria: Oh lawd…
Tarah: What the…
Cailin gets in the car to dead silence and looks between the two of them before raising a brow.
Cailin Dillon: Is it the hair?
The opening credits of the show start while “Something New” by GIRLS ALOUD plays. The cast is shown one-by-one: Tarah Nova, Cailin Dillon, Eris LeCava, Aria Jaxon, Stephanie Matsuda, Erica Ford, Azumi Goto, Claudia Michaels and Cameron Ell Ava. The show goes back to Pain for Pride as the girls are shown backstage in short clips throughout the three-day event. A graphic introduces Vixen’s legend Kendra Shamez to the show as she’s shown walking through the hallways with Claudia Michaels.
Kendra Shamez: It just felt right this time. I mean here I am always meeting up with you so we can talk about all these trash girls showing up and trying to take a piece of our legacy. This time I had to do it. And what she did to Rey? That’s family. That one hurt.
Claudia Michaels: I was surprised. But I get it. I’ve come back. I deal with these idiots on a daily basis. Everyone one of them trying to use HBG as their stepping-stone to the top. And most of them have terrible grammar. And this Aria is the worst. Or maybe it’s Cailin. They’re all awful.
The two share a laugh for a moment before stopping in the hallway.
Claudia (in confessional): This is a big comeback for Kendra. We haven’t always got along, but we go back and we know we’re two of the best women to ever grace this industry. We define what it means to be a successful Vixen in EAW. I mean we’ve done it all. I can see that she’s almost nervous. But her opponent… I mean please.
Kendra: Well, they all try way harder than they need. It just comes natural to legends like me and you. This Sherman Miller girl is about to find out.
Claudia: Yeah she, wait. Hold up. What did you call her?
Kendra: Shannon Milton?
Claudia: No that isn’t what you said. You said something else…
Kendra: Sherwin Williams?
Claudia: Why are you getting further away now?
Kendra: I don’t know, but does her name really matter?
Kendra (in confessional): No, it doesn’t matter what her name is. Because she’s trying to be all French Efficient and (HBG off camera: German). Claudia I swear. I swear I don’t even care.
Claudia: Well I’ll tell you one thing. Come the end of this weekend. I’m going to be the greatest Vixen’s Champion of all time. Four-time champ.
Kendra: Yeah, yeah. Oh! What if Eris shows up?
On cue, the ladies pass Eris LeCava in the hallway who smirks as she stares at HBG and then turns and starts walking backward.
Eris LeCava: See you Sunday…
Claudia: Damnit, I thought I put that bitch on the shelf!
The scene moves to a gym where Azumi Goto and Erica Ford are working out in preparation for their inclusion in the Divide and Conquer match.
Erica Ford: Think about it Azumi. Stephanie, Tarah and Cailin are all in this weird love triangle or something. So they will be fighting about that. Then me and you swoop in and take out the New Breed guys and then we win the Specialist’s title.
Azumi Goto: Ok, one, it’s a one-person title so we both aren’t winning it. And, two, it’s not a love triangle. I think Steph and Cailin broke up, and Tarah and Cailin are like best friends.
Erica: Wait, but what about Formation?
Azumi: Where have you been? Formation died weeks ago.
Erica: No, that’s no right. They just fought together like last week.
Azumi: That was three weeks ago. Yeah, that was like their curtain call or something.
Nasir Capitani comes shuffling into the scene and surveys the two ladies for a minute before smiling at Azumi.
Nasir: How you doin?
Erica: Oh for god’s sake. Really? Didn’t your mom have something for you to do this week? Azumi… this is a big week for us.
Azumi: This is a big week for my Nasy, too. Come on, he just wants to help. He knows our opponents. Sort of.
Nasir: Chill, Erica. Your boy is here to help. Let me tell you something about that New Breed team. They’re soft. Honda Suzuki? Get outta here. JJ Simpson? No, that guy is nothing but a long talker. He’s like a human rain delay. He has a lot to say, but you don’t care about any of it. You got a couple party dudes in there. No worries about them. And then that dude, uhhh, Lucas Johnson, right?
Azumi and Erica: Who?
Nasir: You know, the guy that has the, uhh, Tony the Tiger Plaque. That he can cash in someday or something.
Erica (in confessional): Azumi always says he’s trying to help, but Nasir never has anything remotely productive to say. He just talks a lot. I mean talk about human rain delay.
Nasir: My mother always told me that when people like that come at you, just punch them in the lip and bulge your eyes out a bit. Then they think ‘yo, this guy’s got something wrong with him.’ Or in your case, a couple broads, know what I’m sayin?
Azumi (in confessional): Honestly, without Nasir I don’t know how Erica would get through the day. He teaches me so much and he’s just everything to me. But she always thinks she’s got this all on her own. No, Nasir won’t have that. He’s training us to be winners.
Erica: You two do what you want, I’m going to try to catch the Carlos Rosso press conference. It’ll probably be late if you guys wanna come too? We have plenty of time to make it.
The other two nod and start following her out as we shift across town to another gym where Tarah and Cailin are putting the finishing touches on their workout.
Tarah: Hey, so me and Ryan were wondering about something.
Cailin: Yeah?
Tarah: Are you dating Carson Ramsay? I know you and Steph have been done, thank god, for a while. But… Ryan heard something earlier this week and…
Cailin: Wow… we had dinner like once.
Tarah: Well I’m just telling you that I’ve heard things.
Cailin: Like?
Tarah: That he likes feisty blondes and that he has good taste… sounds like you Ivy.
Cailin: Anyways, did you get my title shined up this week? You know I’m taking that right back from you this weekend.
Tarah (in confessional): Cailin has been talking a lot of trash leading up to Pain for Pride. I mean it’s friendly banter. But she wants this title. She wants to call herself the leader of the Vixens. I can play the trash talking game right back.
Aren Matislav and Aria Jaxon comes walking up to the group as they finish their own workout.
Aren Matislav: You ladies ready to fuck some shit up this weekend?
The group goes quiet for a moment as they all stare at Aren.
Aren: What… are we on camera or some shit? Oh fuck… my bad. Shit!
Tarah: No big deal. We all know Aria’s gonna do some damage. Down goes the legend, right baby girl?
Cailin: It’s really not that big of a deal, I beat her like two months ago.
Aria: I’m hella nervous, but I’m confident. She’s tough. And then I hear Eris is gonna be back, too.
Cailin: Yeah, I just beat her like three months ago, too, it’s not a big deal.
Tarah: Don’t worry about those two. Piece of cake for you. You’re the Vixen’s Champion.
Cailin (in confessional): I literally just beat both HBG and Eris in the past few months. Like what the hell?
Aria: I better see you two in the final of this match you’re in.
Aren: Hell yeah, the Command and Conquer match. I can’t believe they made a match based on strategic military warfare.
Cailin: Aren, it’s called Divide and Conquer.
Aren: What the fuck is that? I mean the hell is that?
Tarah: Aren they don’t need to edit you, chill out. No one really knows how it works. They don’t talk about it either. But if Haruna makes it to the end, legend says we pretend it didn’t happen at all.
Aria: That’s savage.
The scene moves to the first night of Pain for Pride where a couple of the Vixens are shown watching Sheridan Mueller vs. Kendra Shamez. The match ends with Sheridan pull the upset and keeping control of the Vixen’s Cup. As she walks backstage, Kendra is met by Claudia who consoles her by giving her a soft, two pats on the back.
Claudia: Welp, that didn’t go as planned.
Kendra: Shut up. I feel like I’m done now. This is embarrassing. But not as embarrassing as this whole division. People like that think they can run this company someday. Oh my god I would write myself out of the EAW history books. We gotta do something.
Claudia: Oh, I’ll do something alright. Just check back with me after my match with Aria.
At that moment Stephanie Matsuda and Eclipse Diemos pass by them in the halls and the camera shift to following them.
Eclipse Diemos: Just remember what I told you. It’s all up to you now if you want it.
Stephanie Matsuda: (in confessional): I’ve decided to leave the show for reasons that will become clear soon. It sounded like a good idea back when Cailin and I seemed to be in paradise. But so much has changed. And I can’t stay quiet anymore. I can’t be the face of this reality, either.
Stephanie: I gotcha. Let me think about it.
Eclipse: Sleep on it. Your heart will lead you the right way.
The show switches into highlights of the Divide and Conquer match on Night 2. Cailin is struck with a chair by Stephanie before she goes crazy on all the Vixen participants in the match. A camera follows Stephanie backstage before she shoves it away. Erica and Azumi’s eliminations are recapped before they are shown standing just backstage and watching the end, a showdown between Cailin and Tarah.
Erica: Never saw that coming. Never saw that kind of betrayal against all of us.
Azumi: Nasir could have told you about this. But no, we wasted time waiting for Carlos Rosso at that presser and he never showed up.
Erica: Don’t blame him! He’s got like two part-time jobs or something…
Azumi: We fight a lot lately, you know that? I’m getting real tired of you talking about Nasir the way you do. All he wants to do is help.
Erica: How did he help us here? Huh? Do you see one of us out there fighting for the title right now?
Azumi: You’re impossible!
Erica: Maybe we’re done then. I’m out of here.
Back to the match there are highlights of the back and forth close finish between Tarah and Cailin, with Tarah retaining the title. Tarah celebrates with a hug from Cailin and both women are cheered loudly as they leave up the ramp one-by-one. A flash to a backstage area shows Cailin sitting and leaning against the wall with her head buried in her arms and softly weeping. A male wrestler in a hoodie walks up to her and tries to console her. He pulls down the hood to reveal himself as Carson Ramsay.
Carson Ramsay: Listen, keep your chin up. You’re acting like this is the end and you know this is far from it. Look at me? I lost my title to someone who is retiring, but I felt the respect. People love and respect you, and you have the tools to make them love you even more. And you demand everyone in that locker room’s respect.
Cailin (in confessional): To this point, Carson and I have been talking quite a bit. But we kept it quiet. We know how people in the back are. I was devastated after losing that match. And he… he lifted me up somehow.
Carson: Come on now. Let’s get up and get you out of here and on to something else. Alright? No need to dwell on this. Your moment will come. Hell, you’ve already had more of a moment than half these girls. And even they know you aren’t done yet.
The camera switched to a moment between Tarah and her boyfriend Ryan Adams, better known as Mr. Dedede.
Ryan Adams: We’re going to Disney World. Whew!
Tarah: Really? Disney?
Ryan: You’re a princess, babe. You deserve to take that title and your crown and go to a real castle.
Tarah: Oh my god, you’re making me melt.
Ryan: But on the way, we need to stop by a Donald Trump rally near Orlando. I want one of those slick red trucker hats. The ones that look like your grandpa wears them? God Trump is amazing…
Tarah (in confessional): I love the man. But he was a way with words. He has a way of ruining things. Disney, but Trump first. Like… what?
Ryan: Anyways, we’re after the show ends tomorrow. Taking a quick vacation. We both deserve it baby.
Tarah: Ok, I gotta go check on Cailin real quick and… what are you doing?
Ryan: You just took your boots off.
Tarah: So?
Ryan: Oh you know… you know…
Tarah: I could so kick your ass right now
The final night highlights begin as a classic match between HBG and Aria ends with Claudia winning her fourth Vixen’s title. She takes the title back toward the locker rooms where she holds it up high as she passes by members of the Vixen’s division.
Claudia: That’s right. Feast your eyes on the prize none of you will ever taste again. The queen has taken back what’s hers. The fourth reign will never end.
HBG let’s put a sinister laugh as Kendra walks up and lifts her arm and presents her to all the Vixens.
Erica (in confessional): In a moment like that, you just wanna walk up and kick her right in the ovaries. I swear.
Kendra: The queen has returned. She is going to shape this division up into what it deserves to be. If you can’t keep up, you better find the nearest door and get out. Your days are numbered. This is the top now. This is the measuring stick for this whole company, and you all don’t measure up even halfway.
Claudia: Everything she said. That’s the way it’s going to be. You want a shot? Kiss my feet. You want a…
Eris comes walking up and stares at HBG from a short distance away. Everything goes quiet and then she smiles and leaves.
Claudia (in confessional): That bitch is a problem.
It’s the week after Pain for Pride, and the last episode of Battleground is on the horizon. Noteworthy Orlando scenery — Walt Disney World, Universal Studios Florida, Lake Eola, and SeaWorld included — flash across the screen before the shot shifts to a wrestling gym somewhere downtown. Inside, Tarah, Aria, and Cailin appear to have just finished training and are sitting on the ring apron.
Cailin: This week is gonna be…interesting.
Aria: Why? ‘Cause of all the post-PFP shit or the Draft?
Cailin: Both.
The three exchange a look and Tarah unscrews the cap on her water bottle as the shot transitions to the confessional.
Aria (in confessional): People always said there was blowback after Pain for Pride, both good and bad, but you don’t know how severe it can actually be ‘til you experience it yourself. Everyone’s got whiplash from that goddamn show. It’s fucking hard to come to grips with the fact that I wound up losing the Vixens Championship when I worked so hard just to get to that point, but I ain’t making excuses. HBG was the better woman that night. One night, and one night only. I slipped up and it cost me. If not for Aren, Tarah, Cailin, and everyone else this last week, I dunno what kinda frame of mind I’d be in.
Highlights of the Vixens Championship match on night three of Pain for Pride are shown.
Cailin (in confessional): The Divide and Conquer match was…something, wasn’t it? A pretty weird concept, but we made it work. There was never a question as to whether the Vixens team would win, ‘cause we always had it in the bag, but…we couldn’t plan for everything.
Highlights of the Specialists vs. New Breed Divide and Conquer match are shown, including Stephanie Matsuda’s betrayal of her team.
Cailin (in confessional): I can deal with not winning. I’m competitive, and it’s in my nature to wanna win all the time, but I can deal with that not happening. I can dust myself off and keep going, but what Steph did? That’s totally different. All those insecurities of hers started eating her from the inside out and everything exploded last weekend.
Tarah (in confessional): I’m still the Specialists Champion! I always knew it would come down to Ivy and I. It could’ve easily been either one of us to walk out with the belt, and if it wasn’t me, I would’ve wanted it to be her. I hate to pull this card, but hey, considering what went down in the match…I TOLD EVERYONE! I KNEW Aquaman was shady, but we didn’t need her to knock off that New Breed team.
Back in real time, Tarah hops down from the apron, walking over to her bag on the floor while Cailin and Aria stay perched on the apron, unlacing their boots.
Aria: I don’t know if everyone is completely adjusted to how much some stuff has changed, but we ain’t got a choice. The Draft’s coming up and shit’s gonna change even more.
Tarah: Ladies, ladies, don’t worry about it! What’s done is done, okay? Pain for Pride changed a lot of things, but what it didn’t change is that you two are still two of the best Vixens in EAW, titles or no titles.
Cailin cracks a small smile and gestures in Tarah’s direction.
Cailin: Thanks, Tare, but let’s focus on these matches coming up, shall we?
Tarah: Yeah, of course. While all the boys are creaming themselves over who gets drafted where, you’ll be putting Aquaman in her place, I’ll beat HBG and mini Hitler, and AJ is gonna kick that wannabe Starr Stan’s teeth in. It’ll be perfect!
Aria (in confessional): I am putting so much pressure on myself to stay on the top tier now that I don’t have the title anymore. I found out that I have a match for the Young Lions Cup on the Draft show and I’m really excited, but again…I’m putting mad pressure on myself. I’m putting myself in a no-lose situation ‘cause I wanna be a champion again BAD, and this is a way for me to get there.
Cailin (in confessional): I’m going out there with every intention of beating Steph. It won’t change anything that’s happened over the last few months, but that won’t stop me from playing to win. I’m taking away everything else — retribution or whatever — and just going out there to win a match. Because that’s what I do.
Tarah (in confessional): Champion vs. Champion matches aren’t new. Champion vs. Champion vs…whatever Sheridan is, those are different, but it doesn’t matter. I’ll adapt, and prove that right now? I’m the most dominant champion in our division.
Back in the gym, Aria and Cailin hop down off the ring apron almost in tandem, stooping to retrieve their bags off the floor. As they do, Tarah rises to her feet.
Cailin: We all got a lot to think about going into this show, but I’m not worried for any of us.
Aria: Worried? Never. Anxious? Maybe. I don’t know about y’all but I’m dying to get back out there again.
Tarah grinned and threw an arm around each of her friend’s shoulders.
Tarah: Battleground is gonna roll around, and the Sirens are gonna slay like they always do. But in the meantime, I’m starving. Lunch needs to happen, like now.
Aria nodded in the direction of the door.
Aria: Let’s go talk about our plans for world domination over lunch, maybe?
Cailin: You ain’t gotta tell me twice.
A montage of iconic Los Angeles scenery is shown — an overhead shot of the Hollywood sign, shoppers walking down Rodeo Drive, cars swishing past on Sunset Boulevard, and tourists meandering down the Walk of Fame — before the shot settles on a small cafe in the Beverly Grove district. Cameron Ella Ava sits outside on a shaded patio, fingernail tracing around the rim of her glass of water while she looks around. She looks vaguely irritated and impatient.
Cameron Ella Ava (in confessional): Just like everyone else, I’m putting my best foot forward after Pain for Pride. That means making some changes for the better, and not just in a professional sense. In a personal one, too. That’s why today means so much to me, and the person I’m waiting for better not be late.
The shot shifts back to real time and Cameron glances over her shoulder as another woman — who, in many regards, looks exactly like her — approaches her, sitting across from her at the small, circular table. She wears a warm smile on her face.
Cameron: Fashionably late?
She waves the waiter back over and he places a glass of water directly in front of the other woman. Cameron’s guest nods and thanks him.
Consuela: Of course.
The shot moves to the confessional where Cameron and the other woman are sitting side by side. Cameron’s guest is still smiling.
Consuela Rose Ava (in confessional): For everyone in the EAW Universe, this will be their first time ever laying eyes on me. My name is Consuela Rose Ava. No, you don’t need to get your eyes checked…Cam and I are twins!
As Consuela continues to talk in the background, a montage of pictures of the younger Ava twins overtakes the screen. They’re shown at various points as children and teenagers, and then as they embarked on their adventure to begin wrestling training.
Consuela (in confessional): Cameron and I didn’t necessarily have it easy growing up, but it made our sisters and us tough. Our mother sacrificed a lot to make sure we had everything we needed. She taught us to go after what we wanted, and that’s part of the reason we chased our dreams of becoming wrestlers. In the beginning, we did it together, but after a while, I got preoccupied with something different.
Cameron (in confessional): Consuela went to Spain to look for our piece of shit father. You know, the guy who walked out on our family yeeears ago. Did I agree with it back then? No. Do I agree with it now? No. But that was her business and not mine. I’m past her having left, and I’m worried about the present.
Consuela (in confessional): I knew time was ticking. I knew if I ever wanted to make it to EAW, then I was going to have to make that priority, and now I’m here. I’m proud of my sister and everything she’s accomplished, but I don’t want to use the Ava name as a springboard. I want to carve out my own legacy.
Cameron (in confessional): Simply put, I’m just happy she’s home, and now we can take over EAW together. Not only is she our newest Vixen, she’s also the newest True Vixen.
The shot is now black and white and it flashes back to a scene from a few days prior. Consuela is briefly shown at EAW Headquarters in New Jersey signing contracts to both wrestle for EAW and to appear on True Vixens. Back in real time, the twins are still at the cafe.
Cameron: Just think, everything that’s happening now could’ve happened years ago. Both of us could’ve shown up in EAW at the same time! But…better late than never, I guess. Was it worth it?
Consuela: Was what worth it?
Cameron fidgets with her menu and sighs.
Cameron: You know…putting everything on the backburner to go all the way to Spain to look for our dad. Do you feel like it was a waste of time?
Consuela sighs and shrugs her shoulders.
Consuela: No, not really. I think everything happened when it was meant to. This is when I was always meant to show up in EAW, I feel. I just needed answers from him, Cam, and even if what I heard wasn’t what I expected, I still needed to know. Now I have the best of both worlds. Now I got the answers we always deserved, and I finally get to do what I love.
Cameron: You’re right. I’m just really glad you’re here. I don’t know if I’ve said that enough.
Cameron smiles broadly and reaches across the table to grab Consuela’s hand. She squeezes it right.
Consuela: I’m happy we can finally do this together.
The two laugh and reach for their glasses, raising them.
Cameron: To world domination! Because two Avas are always better than one.
Consuela: I’ll drink to that.
The twins giggle and clink glasses as the shot fades to one of Cailin showing up at a beauty salon and sitting down.
Cailin: Surprise me…
Cailin (in confessional): I decided it was time for a change. It was time for a new look. A turn over a new leaf kind of thing. Hey that’s very Ivy. Let me write that down… (writes it down on a piece of paper in front of her as she keeps speaking) So I just told the stylist to surprise me. And like… holy crap.
Cailin is shown with bright orange hair as she stares in a mirror and smiles. She gives it a look from a left and right angle and smiles as Carson walks in the store and looks around like he’s lost someone.
Cailin: Carson!
Carson: Hey… Oh! What the? Your hair? It looks like a cheeto? Like, it’s cool. But, wow.
Cailin: What do you think Tarah and Aria will say?
Carson: They’ll love it, uhh, as much as I do.
A pink nameplate reading “NEWARK, NJ” pops up in the bottom right corner of the screen briefly before vanishing. The shot pans across the face of a large building, which is revealed to be where EAW Developmental is headquartered. Inside, a young blonde woman is standing directly across from HRDO blinking back tears and looking overwhelmed, but happy. He extends his hand and smiles.
HRDO: Welcome to the main roster, Bianca.
The shot immediately cuts to the confessional where the blonde girl sits facing the camera with a knowing smirk on her face.
Bianca (in confessional): For everyone who doesn’t know me, I’m Bianca Moretti. Go ahead and call me BB Vita, if you tryna get real fancy. I just spent two years as the top Vixen in developmental, and it looks like it’s finally time to bring La Bella Vita to the main roster.
Pictures of Bianca earlier on in life flash across the screen.
Bianca (in confessional): My dad was Frankie Moretti. Yeah, THAT Frankie Moretti, the mob guy. My mom died when I was a baby. Usually when I say that stuff to people, they say stuff like “Oh, I’m so sorry!” or whatever, but I don’t tell my story for sympathy, ya know? My parents broke a lotta rules and did shit they shouldn’t have so that I could live a nice life even after they were gone. Not having them here with me taught me that you only have one life, and nothing should ever stop you from tryna make the most of the time you got.
Footage of Bianca wrestling and managing on the Northeastern United States independent circuit and in developmental is showcased.
Bianca (in confessional): I’m just…naturally feisty, you know what I mean? I’m mouthy, I’m sassy, all that. And I think that always translates when you’re a wrestler. I’m like ol’ girl from Jersey Shore, Sammi — I’m sweet as hell, but I’m quick to fight, if you want me to be. I don’t think the other Vixens have ever seen anyone quite like me. I’m here to have fun, live out my dreams, and get to the top of the Vixens division. In the sweetest possible way, I’m telling these other girls to watch out, ‘cause I’ve arrived!
The shot transitions back to real time, where Bianca is still standing in front of HRDO with a smile on her face. She wipes at her eyes, using one hand to fan herself and using the other to shake HRDO’s hand.
Bianca: Oh my God, thank you so much! Really. Seriously. I…I don’t know what to say! This is what I’ve been working for. I promise I won’t let you down.
HRDO: We only want the best for our world-class women’s division, and you fit the bill. You’ll be a wonderful asset to the main roster. I speak for everyone when I say I can’t wait to see what you accomplish.
The scene moves to Azumi and Nasir having dinner.
Azumi: I’m thinking about shifting to something else. Away from Erica.
Nasir: Woah, this is big. I’ll train you and get you ready.
Azumi: How do I tell her.
Nasir: Hey, I can’t teach that.
Azumi (in confessional): I had to make a decision. I decided to do something big with my career. I want to go after a singles title and I can’t do that with Erica breathing down my neck. So after the draft, we might be done.
Erica is shown sitting inside of a diner looking miffed. The camera zooms in on her texting Azumi: “Where are you? We still meeting up?” Erica sighs and grabs her things and leaves. The scene goes back to the beginning after Tarah lays on the horn and she shares a conversation with Aria.
Tarah: You see all these new girls joining? I hate to sound like HBG when I say this, but really? These girls all think they can just walk in here and hang with us. I mean we’re redefining what it takes to be a successful woman in this industry.
Aria: They can’t be all bad. Look at last year around this time. You had me and Cailin, and even Eris. We’ve all been champions in our first year. Maybe some of these girls pan out. Maybe some of them figure it out and they become a real threat. Maybe… who the hell is that?
Tarah: I think that’s… is that Cailin?
Aria: Oh lawd…
Tarah: What the…
The two look at the orange-haired girl as she jogs toward the car.
Aria: What we gonna do about this?
Tarah: I don’t know… we put colors in our hair all the time.
Aria: But that? That’s something else.
Cailin gets in the car to dead silence and looks between the two of them before raising a brow.
Cailin Dillon: Is it the hair?
Tarah: No! No, it’s…
Aria: Pretty…
Tarah: Orange… Pretty orange…
Announcer: Next time, on True Vixens. The EAW Draft is over, so what’s next for the girls. Tarah takes on the challenge of breaking in Specialist’s challengers. HBG deals with the threat that is Eris. Aria moves on from the Vixen’s title, but for how long. Cailin and Aria deal with threats from an old friend. Conseula and BB cut their teeth in the EAW ring. Azumi tries out life without Erica in her corner. Nasir learns a new dance. See it all next tome on True Vixens. Only on the EAW Network.
