David hesitated. Half of him wanted to stay and bask in the chaos, but the other half couldn’t resist following Janie and Jackson.

Janie, let’s grab some coffee over there,Jackson said, nodding toward a small coffee stand a little ways off.

Janic nodded. Sure.

Jackson’s grin widened as they walked off together.

Wait! Jackson, hold up! I’ll come with you.David called, abandoning the spectacle to join them.

Jackson’s expression soured instantly.

He’d been two seconds away from some uninterrupted time with Janie, and now this guy wanted to tag along

Emily needs to take several seats Girl, you caused the chaos, and now you’re out here starting drama?

[Emily can’t control it and doesn’t know either!]

[David, buddy, read the room. Jackson was about to have his moment, and you just bulldozed your way in.]

After several days of filming, marking the end of Janie and Jackson’s guest appearances.

Her presence over the past few days had been a ratings goldmine, and the production team hated to see her go.

The night before, the producers tried their luck, inviting Janie to extend her stay for additional episodes. But Janie. uninterested in spending another second with the chaotic cast and with more important matters on her plate, declined immediately.

When they turned to David, he rejected the offer just as quickly. With two solid no’s, the producers gave up and moved on.

David wore his signature polite smile, sticking close to Janie as if trying to make the most of their remaining time on set.

Molly

Molly also followed them..

Ryan found himself drifting toward Janie, almost unconsciously. He couldn’t help himselfand followed along.

Xena wanted to stop Ryan but knew causing a scene wouldn’t do her any favors. Desperate, she turned to Zion.

Zion said, Why are you making things difficult for Xena?

Emily looked anxious, I’m not. I just want to know what I did last night.

Xena was already annoyed, and now she said directly, Emily, fine, I just say it You were snoring all night, and I couldn’t sleep. It’s not really your fault, thoughI get it. Let’s just drop it, okay?

Emily stared in disbelief. Xena had actually said it aloud. It felt like a betrayal, the same as when her old roommates accused her of the same thing.

Emily’s voice rose, panicked. “Xena, I don’t snore! You must be mistakenit’s because you didn’t sleep well, right?

Xena rolled her eyes. I’m not mistaken. Go check the livestream playback. I didn’t sleep a wink. I’m done talking about it.

Zion shot Emily a hard look, then took Xena by the arm. See? Next time, don’t be so naive and so kind. Let’s find

somewhere to rest

Xena nodded, grateful to leave.

Left standing awkwardly, Emily turned to Jason for support. Jason

Jason was at his wit’s end. He’d barely slept himself, thanks to the racket. Look, Emily, your were snoring. I didn’t sleep well either. I’m not feeling great, so I’m going to rest now

Jason’s curt response left Emily floundering.

She clung to her version of events. They’re lying. I don’t snore But no one cared to argue with her, leaving her alone to stew in her selfmade victimhood.

[OMG! If Ryan isn’t headoverheels for Janie, I’ll eat my words! Who else could she mean? I’m obsessed]
