Joey storms into the cafeteria, evidently on a mission. She walks up to Warren Garry's table, taps him on the shoulder, and says, "We need to talk." Warren addresses the other subhumans at his table, who chuckle. Warren pulls a snap off one of his friends and follows Joey while Jen watches nervously. Joey leans in and purrs, "It wasn't very memorable, Warren." "What?" he asks. "The sex," she replies. "In fact, I don't remember it at all. Why don't you refresh my memory?" Warren says, "It was actually pretty good, although you eventually complained of fatigue." Joey says, "What is going on in that twisted head of yours?" "Look," says Warren, in a deal-striking voice, "this could be a win-win." "Explain," Joey growls. "Our reps," he says: "I have one to live up to, you have one to...live down." Disgustedly, Joey asks, "What, and people think we're doing the deed is going to help my precious reputation?" Warren says, "Well, you know how in baseball there are major and minor leagues?...Think of this as your call-up to the show." Having lost all patience, Joey mutters, "You are such a bastard. If you're the major leagues, Warren, I hope I never get out of A-ball." She starts to walk off, but he grabs her arm and says, much more loudly, "Look, I never said I would be your boyfriend." All chatter in the cafeteria stops and every head turns to stare at them. Joey glances around, mortified, and marches out. Quiet catcalls from Warren's table greet her departure, as Jen leaps up and goes after her.
Jen finds Joey slumped on the stairs, and tells Joey she never believed it. Joey mutters, "Sure. That's why you asked." Jen says she only asked because she was concerned, but that she would have bet anything against it: "Besides...I always pictured you with someone different. Someone like..." Joey regards her silently. Jen concludes, "You know, just a different type." "Walking upright?" Joey asks. Gratefully, Jen chuckles: "Yeah! Opposable thumbs, the whole bit. And maybe someone even a tad more sensitive than Warren Garry." Joey ruefully remarks, "In my experience, even the sensitive ones can let you down with the best of them." Jen says, "Joey, maybe Dawson --" Joey snaps, "Look, I didn't say a thing about Dawson. And as far as Warren and his pathetic fantasies go, you know, what harm can the guy do? I mean, being called a football groupie could describe half the girls at this school, so it's not that big a deal." Jen says, "Joey, I may be overstepping my boundaries, here, but I think I know a way to get Warren back?" Joey asks if Jen knows how to make a voodoo doll or something. Jen says she's serious: "Guys like Warren have been getting away with this kind of stuff for way too long. So? What do you say, Joey? Are you interested in a little payback?" Reluctantly, Joey says, "Okay, I'm listening."
