Page 85 – Duality
In case you missed it, the red border boxes are Brooke’s thoughts. I thought you might like to see inside of Brooke’s mind while she’s in a conversation with Sabrina. Some interesting thoughts she’s got for Sabrina, especially when Sabrina is being sincere with her coming clean! And it all seems to hang on Sabrina developing a relationship with Vincent, and it also seems that Vincent should know better. And Sabrina might not be so intrigued by dating Vincent if she wasn’t getting such a push from her ‘buddy’ Brooke.
Sorry to be so mysterious but all will be reveled soon. Hopefully not too late for Sabrina, or her career as a pro wrestler.
So, a bit wordy on this one, but i really wanted you to see inside of Brooke’s thinking, especially with her being so particularly unkind!
So Krystin and Sun still sleeping? or eating doughnuts? 😀
I really appriciate Sabrina’s action and attitude. telling what happen, and not hiding. Sabrina really take friendship really seriously.
I really can’t figure out why? why sleepying with Vincent, is gonna get her fired?
I really don’t know what’s phase two in Brooke’s plan, but I would suggest Brooke, isolate Sabrina first. like I mean, even Sun woudn’t help Sabrina anymore.
I felt drama and tension coming… I felt tension on Sun, Sabrina and Brooke. reason: Sun will surely tell Sabrina that Brooke is planning to get Sabrina fired. Sabrina won’t take Sun’s story easily. or maybe Sabrina will get angry on Sun on that point. Sabrina says to Sun “Brooke, is a good friend too.” Sun says to Sabrina “But, Sabrina!” then Brooke interupted the conversation. Brooke say Sabrina “I’ll take it from here,” Brooke say to Sun “I think, your just jealous. coz Sabrina is hanging out with me often now. and I think your the one who wants Sabrina get fired. you ducked and which the liqiuor hits Sabrina, and in which Sabrina punched Krystin.” Sun became angry and prepare to punch Brooke, but Sabrina quickly block Sun, so Sun fist hits Sabrina. Sun was shock. then Brooke added some comment “you see Sabrina. Sun is a traitor, some shinobi are traitors”
but I like to comment on Brooke’s plan. How can Sabrina get fired? in which Commissioner Gabrielle favors her?
one: Sabrina kicking the hell out of Commissioner Gabrielle
two: dating and sleeping with Commissioner Gabrielle’s boyfirend/husband
three: not showing up, on a fight.
four: failed in drug test, (maybe Vincent might plan a drug on Sabrina’s drink. before their wellingness program, policy test for wrestler if they’re using some drugs)
five: Sign other contract on other wrestling company. (maybe Vincent, will let her sign things in which Sabrina just signing it, unknowningly. in which it’s a contract for other wrestling company. in which Sabrina violated her contract on Rival Angels)
So Vincent is part of Brooke’s plan, I wonder how Brooke used Vincent?
GRRRR! I think I hate Brooke. I disliked her before, but now it’s approaching hate. Spiteful, utterly spiteful. It’s not Sabrina’s fault that the league is pushing her more than the rest of them; and the other girls seem to know that.
I’m trying to figure out how sleeping with someone could get Sabrina fired. Someone mentioned the idea that Vincent was involved with their boss. I’m trying to think of something other than that idea that could be reason enough to get her kicked out. Maybe Brooke’s overestimating the situation.
Whatever Brooke “knows” about Vincent probably came from Vincent. He lied to Sabrina about his job (at least, that’s my take on his faltering explanation), so he could have lied to Brooke about whatever it is she believes she knows about him. Maybe he really just wanted to have some fun with Brooke, but wanted to do more with Sabrina or one of the other girls. Or, maybe he’ll take whatever he can get from any of them. I still think he’s sleazy, so, whatever his plans are, I don’t expect them to be honorable. Maybe he’s trying to play them against each other.
It occurs to me that if the other girls (likely just Sun, because Krystin doesn’t want anything to do with it) could try to discourage Sabrina from going out with Vincent. But, it’s likely she won’t listen. People have a tendency not to listen to their friends when those friends tell them they shouldn’t go out with someone (only to be told, “I told you so” later). So it’s doubtful that kind of direct approach will work. Sun could also try to do something sneaky, like “steal” Vincent from Sabrina. Sabrina wouldn’t like her after that, but it could save Sabrina from Brooke’s evil plan. Of course, that all hinges on whether Sun wants Sabrina around or not. I happen to think she does, but I could be wrong.
This is really good. I love the dynamic of the inner thoughts of Brooke and the conversation 🙂 Top work…. and on a side note, Brooke in a bikini *wide eyed* Pass me the suntan lotion! Snooch!
The mystery around what could get Sabrina fired thickens and actually we won’t be getting back into it for quite a while. Let me leave you with this. Wrestlers are allowed to have sex. Generally, sex with other wrestlers is fine. However, sex with a ******* could be seen as trying to gain an unfair advantage in their matches which is why wrestlers and *******’s dating is prohibited. I hope I didn’t give TOO much away there. 😉
MGC, Sun will be dropping tomorrow and Krystin soon after that. I hope the hint I provided below sheds some light on the drama of Brooke’s plan and the potential recklessness of Vincent’s inability to come clean with Sabrina. Definitely more drama coming with this situation and I could certainly see the scenario that you outlined happening. I don’t think I’m ruining anything by saying that the 5 things you outlined could get Sabrina or any other wrestler fired, its NOT what Brooke’s plan hinges on.
A Mouse, Brooke’s on a mission and won’t be stopped! She’s pulling out the big guns, being nice to Sabrina’s face but planning on ruining her career. Let’s just say that when Brooke found out Vincent’s real occupation, she went running from Vincent as fast as she could, which is probably why Vincent is playing it a different way with Sabrina and just finding it lucky that Brooke hasn’t told Sabrina what she knows about him. And isn’t that the truth about people not listening when they ought to? You’re not wrong about Sun and Sabrina’s friendship but we’ll see if Sun is comfortable with interjecting herself in this drama and if she does, will Sabrina heed the warning.
Hi Matt! I’m glad you enjoyed the musings of Brooke as well as her bikini. More on Wednesday. lol
Sabrina bragging about kissing a boy? Isn’t that behaviour straight out of middle school?
Sabrina needs to realize this isn’t eighth grade anymore. This is The Big Time, there’s a career worth hundreds of thousands of dollars at stake here.
The ruthless versus the clueless.
Oh dear.
Great work with the comic! There’s a symbolism here, Sabrina’s ‘just getting her feet wet’ while Brooke is in the pool but floating above the water, much like she wants to be above the other wrestlers for the championshup…
just a crazy thought about Sun, could we see on the next episode, Sun climbing up the ladder and then give atomic elbow at the back of Brooke.
Sun is very reckless, I would say, when she don’t like she really get into a fight. like in episode 78.
it’s just a funny thought..
I wonder why, Sabrina isn’t wearing bikini.. I rather see Sabrina in bikina than Brooke..
Roller Derby Fan, Sabrina wasn’t bragging, she was apologizing (she said ‘sorry,) but apologies if that wasn’t clear. Right you are about this being for big money and the symbolism catch is very good. Makes the next page even more interesting. 😉 Thanks for the compliment too!
MGC,what ladder?! I’m sure I don’t know what you’re talking about. 😛 Sun is a daredevil no doubt about it, maybe that’s why Sun and Sabrina get along? Sabrina’s not a prude, she does wear bikini’s but it just wasn’t the right time to wear one as she wanted to apologize to Brooke.
@Albone
Sorry I didn’t made it specific.
About the ladder panel 1. there’s a ladder going to the roof. I think Sun will climb up the ladder and atomic elbow Brooke from the rooftop. 😀
Sorry MGC, I was kidding. The ladder is there for a reason, but I am unable to remember what that reason is. 😉
“However, sex with a ******* could be seen as trying to gain an unfair advantage in their matches which is why wrestlers and *******’s dating is prohibited.”
If this is what I think it is, then Vincent’s heading for a lot more trouble than Sabrina.
After all, the Rival Angels management does have big plans for Sabrina, and if Vinny’s big secret finally blows, Sabrina can still pull the “I never knew!” card and have a reasonable chance to get away with it.
Vinny however does not enjoy that kind of protection. AND he’s the one who’s not telling the truth.
Brooke could still claim that Sabrina did know all the time (perhaps because Brooke herself told her). But to pull that off, she would need to secure the loyalty of Krystin, because Krystin now knows that Brooke is actively trying to get Sabrina fired.
Yes, Sun knows as well, but Brooke may not know that she does.
And if I’m correct, then Vincent really is a Grade A Idiot!
P.S.:
If I’m correct, then Time is actually working in Sabrina’s favor.
She doesn’t seem to be in too much of a hurry to … intensify her relationship with Vinny. So there’s a good chance that she will be confronted with his secret before they’ve gone too far.
JackAce, I think you might be on to something and I’d be remiss if some of your observations weren’t spot on. The idiot part and the not in a rush to intensify the relationship are especially observant!
Ahhh… Alan, thanks for clearing that up, I thought Sabrina was being sarcastic and bragging about kissing Vince. I see now Sabrina was just being her open, honest, self.
The ‘inner Brooke’ thought text is 180 degrees out of whack with what she’s saying, the contrast between them shows just how much Brooke hates Sabrina.
Three ‘ifs’:
If: Sabrina still has a career after this,
If: Brooke still has one too,
and
If: Sabrina gets a hold of the truth ( Sun spills all, she figures it out for herself, etc, )
THEN:
Sabrina vs Brooke is gonna be the rival Angels pay per view spectacular of the year!!
Any chance Commissioner Gabrielle foresaw this and promoted Brooke out of the development league hoping this sort of ratings boosting rivalry would happen? Or am I seeing sinister plots where there aren’t any?
Brooke vs Sabrina IS shaping up to be a doozy considering alll of the facts should Sabrina keep her job after this. Commissioner Gabrielle didn’t know that THIS exactly would happen but she did pick these four girls to live together purposefully. Definitely more than just rent control here so you’re definitely seeing something there.
Oh, Brooke. I hope you’re into the rough stuff, cuz this plan is gonna bite you on the ass. This is the kinda stuff SMH, or even Stratus when she was bad, would come up with.
Stephanie McMahon was certain a schemer and I think I enjoyed her more onscreen than off. I don’t agree with a lot of her assessment of the backstage talent, but I digress. Brooke’s betting big on this, big win or big fail.
