Tami talks about how if you ever have any problems, go immediately to Tyra Collette, and she's like, "I need a go-getter! I need two go-getters!" and ushers Lyla over. There are few things I love more than the contrived "now you have to work together and get over yourselves" story, but this one is awesome because it's not like they have this huge rivalry anymore, so it's just like, "X thing happens so that the powers of Lyla and Tyra will be unleashed." It literally does not matter what Tami wants, the whole point is that Lyla and Tyra are both magic, alone or together. Tami continues firing her cokehead monologue at both of their heads, all about how Pantherama is this huge drag that is slowly killing her and so she can manage either the "entertainment" or the silent auction, but not both, and with Tyra's skills in party promotion and general havoc-wreaking, and Lyla's ability to make things happen simply by thinking really hard about it, plus their varied skills in dancing and/or making a huge spectacle of themselves, make them perfect for the entertainment. Tyra babbles about how she is really studying hard, and Lyla babbles about Christian activities, and Tami takes them both on so perfectly. "Oh, honey. You are not using Jesus Christ, Our Lord, as an excuse not to help your counselor, are you?" Bested, Lyla smiles sweetly and gives in; Tyra's even more of a pushover because she loves Tami Taylor more than anybody on earth whose name isn't Taylor. She yaks at length about nothing at all and then wanders off, still talking to herself and acting crazy, and the girls just grin at each other.
