Jaye's trailer. Night. The lion is singing a song. "Sharon and Poor Bitch sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then comes Poor Bitch with a baby carriage." Jaye tries to sleep, but it's not working.
Morning. Trailer. Jaye now looks homicidal as the lion sings the word "Sharon" to the song "Daisy." Jaye screams at the wax lion: "If I do this will you SHUT UP?" The lion keeps singing. Jaye throws something heavy at the lion, knocking him off the table (he makes a sound like he felt that). From inside the trash can, we hear his echoed words: "Make me a match." Jaye pouts with her eyes wide.
The passage of time is shown with messages Jaye leaves for Sharon. We see Sharon's message book, with repeated urgent messages from her sister. Jaye tells Sharon to be at The Barrel at 8 tonight. Then: "Wear something slimming."
The Barrel. Jaye stuffs the wax lion into the centerpiece at the table as she waits. Sharon shows up: "This had better be good because I'm having a real hard time getting it up for your drama." Jaye orders Sharon a glass of wine. "You call that slimming?" she asks Sharon, giving her the once-over. Sharon asks how many people Jaye asked for dinner before she asked Sharon. Jaye: "None." Sharon sits: "Did you get fired again?" We learn that the UPS guy's name is Thomas. Jaye asks Sharon if she remembers talking to him today. Sharon says she vaguely remembers him, but that she didn't think he was particularly cute: "He's not my type." As Jaye goes on about how Sharon could do a lot worse, suddenly Thomas shows up. Jaye introduces Sharon to Thomas again. He gives Sharon some flowers and sits down. Jaye says that's so sweet, and then excuses herself to the bathroom. Sharon smiles at Thomas, who smiles back.
Jaye visits her bartender friend and asks for him to get her drunk. He looks at his tray of multi-colored shots and asks if she wants a Jell-O shooter. She asks if he has grape. He hands her one, and we hear Sharon off-camera say, "That's not the bathroom." Jaye leaves with her drink.
