The following scene took place on Thursday, December 30, 2021.
(The scene opens, as we see Daniel Russow in the gym of the hotel, working out. The camera pans across the room a bit, before the door opens, and in walks Alexis Makarios. Dan looks up at her, placing the weights down as he stands back up. Alexis walks up to Dan, and immediately starts apologizing.)
Alexis Makarios: I come in peace?
(She notices the serious look on his face and holds up her hands)
Alexis Makarios: Seriously though… I’m so sorry about what happened at Crusade… I really don’t know what happened… but I swear to you I had NOTHING to do with it… I wouldn’t!
(Dan lets out a heavy sigh, as he looks at Alexis.)
Daniel Russow: Oh, I know what happened.
Alexis Makarios: You… you do? But how? None of the surveillance cameras caught the attack…
(She tilts her head a little bit, confused.)
Daniel Russow: Audrey saw what happened. She turned around in time to see who attacked her. That’s why she hasn’t responded to your texts. Taking a day to process things.
Alexis Makarios: Oh? Well that explains alot. Who the hell would have it out for Audrey and attack her like that? I can’t think of anyone … unless … NO … she wouldn’t… would she?
Daniel Russow: She would…and she did. That’s not it…I need to show you something.
(Dan goes over and pulls out his phone, scrolling to a screenshot Audrey had sent him. He shows it to Alexis. She reads it over, looking confused still, and a bit shocked.)
Daniel Russow: Any of this look familiar to you?
Alexis Makarios: I… I didn’t send those text messages. The only time my phone wasn’t in my pocket or on my person the entire night was during my match, but James had it then. Oh, and when I was taking a shower and…
(The realization hits her and her jaw drops. She takes out her phone and pulls up Audrey’s texts and shows Dan that the messages he showed her were not on her phone at all.)
Alexis Makarios: OH … MY … GOD … She must have sent that while I was in the shower… that’s why she was so insistent that I didn’t invite Audrey out to celebrate… God I can’t believe I didn’t see this happening…
Daniel Russow: Welll it did…and now Audrey wants blood….sooo…there’s that.
Alexis Makarios: I… guess there’s NO HOPE of any sort of truce happening.
(She chuckles a little bit, trying to lighten the mood.)
Alexis Makarios: I’m so sorry… this all happened because of me. I really do feel terrible.
Daniel Russow: No, it happened cause you have a psycho for a tag partner who is throwing a temper tantrum because you’re starting to get back to your old self and not putting up with her bullshit.
Alexis Makarios: This is… this is unbelievable. I hope Audrey doesn’t think I put Heather up to this… because I really DONT want to constantly be in the middle. Is… is she doing ok?
Daniel Russow: Yeah. She’s doing fine. Just getting things ready before we fly out back to New York and get ready for the surgery. She had a pretty good idea you weren’t involved. Just didn’t wanna talk about it outside of face to face, which brings me to something else.
(Alexis looks nervous, suddenly)
Alexis Makarios: Whats that?
Daniel Russow: Well, before we all fly back home, we were wondering if you and James wanted to go out to grab a bite to eat tonight? Just to show there’s no hard feelings. You’re still on our good side.
(A small smile overtakes Alexis’s face.)
Alexis Makarios: OUR good side? Wait does that mean that…
(Dan chuckles.)
Daniel Russow: I have to admit, I wasn’t a fan of all this in the beginning, but as hard as you have been working..And the way you’ve been there for Audrey…I’m starting to wake up to it.
Alexis Makarios: Awe… I’m wearing you down
(She chuckles a little bit)
Alexis Makarios: But yes, James and I would love to go out to dinner with you guys, It’ll be nice to do something… i dunno … normal?
(Dan laughs.)
Daniel Russow: You know good and well neither of us do well with normal. But yes, it’ll be good.
Alexis Makarios: I come in peace?
