The next morning, both entertainers had terrible hang-overs. Jo woke up before Rachel and decided to take a hot shower. She let the scolding hot water run down her neck, slowly turning around over and over to make sure all of her body was warm. She washed her hair, her face, her body, aved her legs, and climbed out of the shower. She had been in for over 45 minutes. Refreshed, she toweled off and got dressed. She made her way downstairs and started making pancakes. She heard Rachel start the shower and yell 'bitch' to Jo since Jo had used all the hot water. Rach took a quick shower and finshed in the bathroom. She waltzed downstairs and sat at the table in their little dining area. Joanne finished their breakfast and placed it on the table. Rachel ate a stack and Jo at a stack. Both were terribly hungry and swallowed 4 Tylenols a piece to ease the pain in their heads.
"Hey, thanks for the hot water," Rachel said between bites.
"I didn't think you'd be up that soon. Sorry mate," Jo answered.
"It' alright, I reckon, just remind me that I don't need to take a shower after you ever again," Rachel said with a laugh.
"Ok. How's the food?"
"Good. It's delicious. I don't know what I'd do without you," Rach replied with a grin.
"Glad you like it. When you're finished, put the dishes in the sink. I'm gonna go brush my teeth and put my make-up on," Jo said while getting up from the table. She put her dishes in the sink and trotted up the spiralling staircase. Rachel finished her 'jacks and did the same. She stepped into her bedroom and noticed the camera on her dresser. Picking it up, she took it to Joanne, who was re-applying her mascara.
"Hey, Jo, check this out," Rachel said, holding down the rewind button on the recorder.
"What's this?" she said, obviously not remembering the events that occurred the night before. Both girls errupted in laughter when the tape started playing. Catching their breaths, they continued about their morning routine.

Rachel was at the set when Jo arrived. By the look on Rachel's face, Jo could tell she wasn't too happy.
"What the hell is this?" Rachel said, lifting up a cassette tape.
"What are you talkin about, mate?" Jo replied.
"What do you mean, what are you talkin about? You know good and well what I'm talking about. THIS, you cow," she said and angrily threw the tape at Jo, hitting her in the side. "Listen to it and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about, you bitch!" Rachel said and stormed away to her trailer. Jo ran after her, but failed when Rachel locked the door after her. Jo went to her trailer and found a tape player. She listened to a compilation of her words on the tape. She heard herself calling Rachel an 'absent-minded piece of ****.' Jo didn't know what to think. She knew she never said those words, ever. She shut off the tape player and bolted out of her trailer. Jo knocked repeatidly on Rachel's door.
"Come on Rach, I didn't say any of that. Please open up, I wanna talk to you!" the blonde cried, still pounding on the flimsy door of the trailer. Before she knew it, she had hit the door in the right spot and with enough force that it swung open, revealing Rachel in a fit of tears.
"How could you?" Rachel asked, staring cold heartidly at Jo.
"Rach, you've got to believe me when I say I never said those things. Besides, even if I DID say those things, which I didn't, I'd at least have enough nerve to say it to your face," Jo said with a sigh, "Besides, where'd you get this?"
"From a fan. A little girl. She said that man had given it to her to give to me," Rachel managed to squeeze out between unecessary sobs.
"Why'd you believe it? You know good and well that I'd never say that, plus, this guy could have been a technical mastermind and put togther my words from interviews, the show, ectetera, ectetera, ectetera," Jo replied.
"If I can't believe the tape, then why should I believe you? You're the one who's denying everything like you actually did say it and didn't think you'd get caught. I know you Jo O'Meara. I should have expected this," she paused, "Out. I don't want to see you. Get out of my trailer,"
"Fine. Have it your way, but don't come cryin to me when you suddenly realise you don't have anyone to talk to, when you realise what mistake your making. I'm gone." Jo exclaimed and stormed out of Rachel's trailer. By that time Jo was crying as well. Paul approached her but she brushed him off. She ran to her trailer and cried until her eyes burned. It was 3 in the morning in Englad, so she couldn't call Laura or Lee, so Jo just sat there, in the dark, and pondered about everything that had just happened.
