Jesse's getting ready at her place. She checks out the photos that are scattered all over the bed, and suddenly she's attacked from behind by Riley, trying to strangle her. "I know, Jesse. I know!" she screams. They struggle, and Jesse throws her off, knocking her against the dresser. Riley smashes a vase and threatens Jesse with a shard. Jesse's all, "what's this about?" and Riley wails about how Jesse wanted John to care about Riley, to love her, and Jesse's all, "yeah, that was the plan," but Riley says it's more than that: "She's supposed to kill me, right? That's it! That's the real plan!" That's absurd, says Jesse, but she's not exactly convincing. Riley says Jesse knows the only thing that could turn John against Cameron would be for Cameron to kill Riley, and she wails that Jesse's the one who called CFS, her foster parents, the school. "How could you do that to me? I trusted you! I loved you!" "Loved" you? There's probably nothing behind that, but were there other, um, showers? Jesse throws a -- I don't know, some heavy object at Riley and they start scrapping again until this time Jesse's got Riley from behind, and Jesse starts screaming, "I rescued you from hell and brought you to paradise!" Riley's not struggling. "I gave you a purpose. A chance to be a hero!" She asks how many people get a chance to have their lives mean something. For their deaths to mean something. Yeah, she's a psycho, and Riley starts struggling and screaming again. You're probably going to have to find a new hotel, there, Jesse.
Riley can't get free. "You could have been beautiful. But you're just a coward," Jesse tells her. Riley's all, "I'll show you a coward!" and then they're fighting again. Real knock-down dragout, with the two of them slamming each other against things, choking each other, rolling on the floor. It goes on for a while, like when Peter Griffin fights that chicken.
On the floor, Riley is on top of Jesse, choking her, so Jesse tries to gouge Riley's eyes out with her thumbs. Riley staggers backwards, and finds some kind of long ugly statue or perhaps a rather disconcertingly huge and misshapen vibrator and starts beating Jesse with it. Savagely, ferociously. From the floor, Jesse manages to kick Riley in the chest, sending her flying backwards, and then Jesse kicks a nearby coffee table, springing open a drawer with a silenced gun in it. She grabs it and shoots Riley in the chest. Riley falls to her knees, and then all the way to the floor, dying. Jesse falls back on the floor herself, when she really should be looking for the Do Not Disturb sign to hang on the doorknob.
