Beneath Her Beauty - Episode 7

After a tense scene ends, a woman struggles to stand with numb legs while Simon and another trade barbs. The immediate conflict surfaces: Joy has told everyone the protagonist was kicked out despite them cutting ties, and an ally rages at the smear. Told not to "dirty your hands," they choose a public counter instead: applying to VT to outperform Joy and expose her lies. Friends scoff it's overkill, but the group rallies to prove competence. The episode closes on that decision—apply to VT so everyone will see what you're capable of, or you'll remain a pushover.
