Outside, Tracy's on the phone telling someone that they haven't charged Jeremy and have only circumstantial evidence, at best. She tells Dennis (whoever that is) that she's calling in a favor. She thanks him and hangs up. When she does, Samuel's standing there in a black trench coat. He says it sounds like she's shaking things up in there. He thinks the place could use it, from the looks of the place. He asks how a girl like her ends up in a place like this, and she scoffs he's going to have to do better than that to hit on the likes of her. He says his name's Samuel, and all he wonders is what's next if she's here to save Jeremy's life? She looks puzzled that he knows what she's doing here. He asks if she's going to take him somewhere to live, and as he asks that, the camera swirls around them and the dusty town turns into the carnival. He finishes: "... Or where he belongs?" She asks what he did, and he says it's all right: "I'm a friend, Tracy." She's sort of freaked, but he says it's safe here, because they're all like her. She asks what this place is, and he says, "Home." She looks around as we get the faintest hint of the awesome theme music we miss so much. Commercials.
Dank slaughterhouse. They come to a fork in the hall and wonder, "Slaughter floor? Or operations center?" Um, may I vote operations center? There are probably phones there. Or at least an exit. No sorority is worth this, especially when you don't even really want to be in it at all. Snotty and Ditzy take off toward "operations center," after one last snotty comment to Claire and Gretchen, who head downstairs to the slaughter floor. Since there are pools of water on the floor, we see Becky's footsteps follow them down. Claire asks Gretchen how long she's known. Gretchen: "What? That I really don't want to be in this sorority?" My thoughts exactly. So, possibly consider leaving the slaughterhouse then, so that we don't have to suffer through this storyline? No? Okay. It was worth a shot. But Claire meant the whole liking girls thing. Gretchen says Claire makes it sound like something she has to declare, like her major. Claire says she's jealous that Gretchen's already figured herself out. Gretchen says she isn't sure about that; she's actually had more boyfriends than girlfriends. Like, six or seven more. Then she asks Claire if she's a virgin. Claire is, so Gretchen says, "Wow! We could not be more different. Maybe we're strange attractors." Well, they have the strange part right, at least. Gretchen explains that it's a physics thing where particles end up together that don't really belong, but when they're together they're super powerful. "Sort of like we could be. Or not." Gretchen turns around and looks at Claire, who's focused on something going on behind the bloody sheets of plastic Gretchen's now standing in front of. Gretchen tells Claire not to tell her she's freaked out now, and she charges on through the bloody plastic. She says it's "just more lameness," just as a big heavy chain and hook comes hurtling toward her. Claire pushes her down and lands on top of her. She tells Gretchen she's starting to think this isn't a game. Kidnapping? Slaughterhouse? Nah, Claire, it's totally a typical game.
