George leaves, and Danielle talks to Joanie. Joanie says, "Maybe you should stick to it and don't do it." She is, of course, talking about the gap. Danielle says that if she doesn't get it closed, she's going home. Sara interviews that Danielle sees her gap as something that makes her unique, because it's become her signature. Joanie tells Danielle that she thinks she'll have peace (or as the captions tell us, "piece") of mind if she doesn't do it and will feel better inside. I really hope Joanie isn't being shady here. Joanie adds that she doesn't want Danielle to go home. Danielle interviews that she's trying to remain calm and not to trip, and it's the business, so she should go along with it, but she's disturbed. She's still undecided about what she'll do. Danielle tells us that she had to go home and call her mama, who is her strength. Danille tells her mom that it's taken so long for her to get comfortable with her gap, and now she's pissed off because she's being told that if she doesn't close it, she'll go home. Danielle's mother says, with a voice somewhat reminiscent of Bea Arthur's, that Danielle should remember the girl from Texas -- she, of course, means Cassandra -- who loved her hair more than being in the competition. Mama says that in the modeling industry, that's going to happen. Mama adds that Danielle has to step up to the plate, and that will make the difference between her staying and leaving. Mama says that Danielle has to call the shot on this one, and asks Danielle what she wants. Mama sounds awesome, and also like she's smoked six packs of Parliaments a day for the last thirty years.
