* Post-breakup, Billie has been lashing out at Ruth in almost all their interactions. She accuses Ruth of being selfish for not hooking up with Daisy [[TheHypocrite because Billie wanted a job from her]], physically assaults her for "lying" (i.e ''trying to be nice.''), then basically rants twice in a row at Ruth about how the latter ''must'' [[PsychologicalProjection be angry and bitter at Billie for being happy without her.]] But in spite of all this, Ruth has managed to maintain the high road while not being a complete pushover. Accused of being selfish? She snaps right back that it was ''her'' birthday to begin with. Gets slammed to the wall? Lets Billie vent before bluntly shoving her ass to the floor. And after two times where Billie rants to Ruth where she basically vilifies her, Ruth calmly but firmly states this:
-->'''Ruth:''' ''Of course'' I hated that you walked away and never came back. I thought you would ''try'' at least a little. For me. A dumb fucking assumption I guess. I never thought that getting rid of you would have been so ''easy.''

Joyce and Dina also manage to get some hits in with their adrenaline-fueled rage and velociraptor imitation, respectively. And, of course, Sarah [[CallBack gets a baseball bat.]]
** Dorothy puts her keen analytical mind to good use, strategically planning the group's escape ''and'' preventing anyone from putting in an assassination order for Mike (at least in the short term) by taking note of the location of Blaine's cell phone.
