Lyla is at her locker, looking at a note that says "For a good time, call Lyla...SLUT!!" Tami walks up and says that everyone missed her at the pep rally. She sees Lyla's stricken face and then looks at the note Lyla passes over to her. Tami remains Queen of the Awesome as she shakes her head and says, "Well that's just bush league. We don't listen to those jackasses." She throws her arm around the girl's shoulders and leads her to her office. Inside, Lyla tells Tami that she's been trying to just let people say what they were going to say, that she could tough it out. She blurts out that she's going to quit the cheerleading team. Tami doesn't judge, just says it would be a big move. Lyla tells her that her parents dressed her as a Panther cheerleader since she was five years old. That being a Panther cheerleader was supposed to be a dream come true. But that since Jason's accident, she's been pretending, that she is "done pretending that I care about any of this." Surprisingly intelligent words for a girl whose life plans had hinged simply on getting an M.R.S. degree.
