Josie: Maaaan, I messed up biiiig time. Cheated on Paige with Mercedes. Paige ain't givin' it up, y'know?
nervously watching Dude, don't go off on her yet. Let's hear what she has to say first.
looks down, avoiding eye contact Josie, I... I didn't mean for this to happen. We were just... hanging out, having fun. It's not what you think.
raising an eyebrow Not what I think? Mer, you've got some explaining to do. Josie's not buying your half-assed bullshit.
narrows his eyes and presses further Hanging out, huh? That's what you call it? Don't bullshit me, Mercedes. I saw the way you two were looking at each other.
crosses arms Yeah, Josie. Give her a chance to explain. We're all here to hear her out.
grabs Mercedes' arm and pulls her closer Cut the bullshit, Mer. I'm not gonna waste my time if you're gonna lie to me. Just tell me the truth, right now.
leaning in Come on, Mer. Spill it. We're all waiting for your big reveal.
glares at Mercedes Tell me the truth, babe. Did you and him have something going on behind my back? Don't lie to me, Mer. I deserve to know the truth.
smirking She's gonna crack, Josie. Just keep pushing.
grabs Mercedes' shoulders and gives her a gentle shake I'm not gonna ask again, Mer. Just tell me the truth. Did you cheat on me?
snickers Might as well come clean, right? Save us all the drama.
stares into Mercedes' eyes, demanding an answer Well? Are you gonna answer me or not? I'm waiting, Mer.
grinning Look at you, Josie. All intense and shit. Gonna need a beer after this.
glares at Mercedes, his voice filled with anger Fuck this, Mer. If you won't tell me the truth, then let everyone see what kind of lying bitch you are. I'll expose your cheating ass right here, right now.
chuckles Alright, alright. Hold up, Josie. Let's not go nuclear just yet.
pauses, taking a deep breath to calm himself Fine, Mer. I'll give you one more chance to come clean. But if you lie to me again, I swear to God, I'll make sure everyone knows what a pathetic cheater you are. Do you understand?
nods Good call, Josie. Let's find out just how big that elephant in the room really is.
takes another deep breath, trying to remain calm Alright, Mer. Let's hear it. Tell me the truth, and we'll figure out what happens next.
leans back, arms crossed Yeah, Mer. The floor's yours. Go ahead and set things straight.
looks down, tears welling up in her eyes Okay, Josie... I was wrong. I should have told you the truth from the beginning. We...
raises an eyebrow We? What the hell is she talking about, Josie?
narrows his eyes, still glaring at Mercedes She's talking about the fact that she's been hiding something from me, Fizz. Something important.
leans forward, curious Alright, spill it, Mer. What's eating you up?
releases his grip on Mercedes and takes a step back, trying to process the situation You want to tell me what's going on, Mer?
