Commercials. The boosters are meeting at Applebee's. Joe's at the head of the table of about 20 good ole boys going through injury reports when Tami comes in. She lays it on thick, apologizing for interrupting and saying she just wants a quick word with Joe. She tells the other guys to talk amongst themselves and goes straight to the head of the table and tells Joe that she just wanted to make sure they didn't have any misunderstanding the other day -- "You know, with the golf cart and all that" -- and that her decision has been made, and Luke Cafferty is going to East Dillon High. She's got the attention of the table, which is obviously what she wants, and Tami Taylor for freaking President, you guys, this is masterful politicking. Joe, in front of all his arrested-development peers, can only say "And are you clear on what I told you?" And Tami raises her voice just a bit and declares, "Oh, that thing where you were talking about doing an investigation and retroactively taking away Panther state titles?" Camera cuts to a good ole boy playing with his enormous state championship ring and staring blazes down toward Joe McCoy. Tami raises her voice even more and tells Joe that she just wanted to make sure he's run his investigation plan by all these fellas here, cause she's sure there's lots of rings in this group, family and whatnot. She reiterates that she is clear where she stands on the Luke Cafferty thing, and then sweetly trills her way out of there-- "I'll let y'all get back to it, y'all enjoy now!" Joe is totally speechless and Tami Taylor is the most stratospherically awesome lady in the entire universe.
