(Sam's phone rings. She answers it.)

Sam: Archie? Now's not a good-

Archie: It's Cheryl. Something happened.

Sam: Text me where. I'm on my way.

(She hangs up.)

(Sam walks into the room, where the Pussycats, Archie, Betty, and Veronica have converged to comfort Cheryl. Cheryl looks up, and she is both afraid and relieved to see Sam.)

Cheryl: Cousin? What are you doing here? Come to tell me how I've finally gotten what I deserve after all this time?

(Sam ignores Cheryl and turns to Archie.)

Sam: What happened? She looks fine.

(Cheryl does NOT want to be ignored.)

Cheryl: How did you know something happened?

Sam: Archie called me. Said something happened to you, but you look fine.

(Veronica stands up.)

Veronica: Sam, I'm so sorry. Nick St. Clair drugged her at my parents' open house. He was going to rape your cousin, Sam.

(Much to everyone's surprise, including Cheryl's, Sam's eyes go completely dark.)

Sam: He drugged you, Cheryl?

Cheryl: Yes.

Sam: Where is he now?

Veronica: Back in his hotel room. We, um… the four of us beat him up.

(Sam looks impressed.)

Sam: The four of you?

Veronica: Josie, Val, Melody, and me.

(Sam is quiet, smiling in approval. She walks over to Cheryl and takes both of her hands in hers. She holds them and looks at Cheryl, smiling strangely but comfortingly.)

Sam: I don't want you to worry, Cheryl. Nick will pay. (Silence as her rage blankets the room) He. Will. Pay.

(Cheryl smiles, because she believes she may be winning her cousin over. Archie looks uncomfortable, because he knows now exactly what Sam is capable of.)
