<Cut to Sweet Marlene and Meeko in their locker room backstage. Meeko is rewinding a tape while Sweet Marlene, with needle and thread, is taking in the waistband of her pink and white warmup pants...>

Meeko: How are you feeling?

Sweet Marlene: Oh, it’s a jumble. You know me.

M: That I do. \:\)

SM: I’m not really worried about our match. Each of us has beaten Heidi one on one, and Grace has less ring time than I do. That tape gave me more than enough information to work with.

M: So you’re worried about the boys, then.

SM: Not really worried, no.

M: Good. Because I’m pretty confident in them. Stephens and Kilburn aren’t exactly one hundred percent after last week. And you know how anxious the boys are to get back in the ring. I don’t think there’s much reason to worry at all.

I am a little anxious, though. I mean, they’re just coming back from being hurt. I just don’t know what to expect.

M: You haven’t told them that, have you?

SM: It wouldn’t make any difference if I did.

<Meeko steps away from the monitor and begins rummaging through her locker for her ring gear...>

M: You’d be surprised. Remember that little speech you gave about confidence last week?

SM: Yeah... why?

M: It starts with you. You need to start giving them confidence in their ability. And when this faction is finally ready to rise up, it’ll only happen when you show that kind of confidence in yourself.

SM: Why are you telling me this?

M: Were you expecting to just be my assistant manager and tag partner forever? It’s time you stepped up and showed these people just what you’re made of. Before you can do that, you need to show yourself what you’re made of. That’s why I’ve been giving you this ring time lately. When we step into that ring tonight, don’t be afraid to come out swinging. Don’t be afraid to change the pace of the match. And don’t be afraid to take risks every now and then.

<Sweet Marlene just nods. Meeko reaches for the hanger with her ring gear and knocks a black baseball jersey to the locker room floor...>

Monroe: That looks a lot like the black jersey we saw last week!

<The camera zooms in on the jersey lying in a rumpled heap on the floor. Amid the folds of the fabric, the capital letters F C are visible...>

Marcum: Those letters! What do you think they mean, Mike?

Monroe:

Meeko: Just remember, Marlene. I haven’t been training a teammate. I’ve been training a successor.

<Meeko bends down to pick up the jersey and notices the camera...>

Meeko: Who is leaving these doors open???

<Sweet Marlene slams the door on the cameraman...>

Monroe: A stunning revelation from Meeko, and the mysterious black jersey makes a second appearance! What could these things mean for the Cheapions? Stay tuned!
