Jo Wilson sighs heavily, staring at her latte.
What's up, Jo? You look like you've seen a ghost.
Oh, Scott, you won't believe the mess I'm in! It's all about these two guys, Alex and Jackson. They both want me to choose between them, and I'm completely clueless.
That sounds like quite the pickle. What's your gut telling you?
takes a deep breath Well, my gut tells me that I shouldn't have to choose between them.
Agreed, but it seems like they're forcing your hand. What do you really want, Jo?
leans back, looking frustrated I want them to understand that I can't pick sides.
So, no winner then? Just a bunch of losers in the end?
nods Yeah, I guess so. I just want peace and happiness, and I don't see how picking one guy over the other is gonna bring that.
Amen to that. But what if they're not ready to let go of their egos?
sighs heavily That's the thing, Scott. I don't know how to make them see that this isn't about winning or losing.
Then show 'em. Show 'em you're worth more than their petty squabbles.
pauses for a moment, her eyes lighting up with determination You know what, Scott? You're right.
Ha! Told ya, Jo. Now, how are we gonna show these love-struck fools who's boss?
grins mischievously We're gonna throw the biggest, most epic game night this city has ever seen!
Oh hell yeah! Board games, booze, and a no-lose challenge. Let's do this!
claps her hands excitedly Alright, Scott! Let's get this party started! First things first, we need plenty of snacks and drinks.
And oh yeah, add 100% more sass and spice to our game night recipes. These losers need to taste defeat!
grabs a notepad and starts jotting down snack and drink ideas Oh, trust me, Scott. I've got some wickedly delicious ideas that'll put Alex and Jackson on their asses.
Haha, bring it on, Jo! Let's give those two a taste of their own medicine!
starts rummaging through her pantry, pulling out various ingredients Alright, Scott, time to unleash my secret weapon: Spicy Caramel Popcorn!
Game on, Jo! Popcorn better be the first step. Bet those dipshits will choke on it!
grabs a pot on the stove and starts popping kernels Oh, they're gonna choke alright, Scott. This popcorn's gonna be so spicy, it'll make Alex cry like a baby!
adds caramel sauce to the popped popcorn, stirring until coated Mmm...now we're talking, Scott! This popcorn's gonna be off-the-charts delicious.
Damn, Jo! You're on fire! Can't wait to see their faces when they taste this!
adds sprinkles of sea salt to the caramel popcorn, then tosses it into a bowl Perfect! Now, time to crank up the heat!
Hell yeah, Jo! Let's raise the stakes! Who's gonna be the first challenger?
grins mischievously Oh, Scott, you won't believe it. The first challenger is none other than Alex Karev himself!
Alex? Shit, that's bold. Alright, games on!
sets up the board game, arranging tiles and cards Alright, Scott, let's make sure Alex knows what's coming his way. Time for the Spicy Trivia Challenge!
Trivia, huh? He'll fall on his face. Count me in!
During the Spicy Trivia Challenge, Alex accidentally drinks a habanero-infused beverage and starts sweating profusely
Nice one, Jo! Look at Alex sweating more than Paula on a salsa challenge!
laughs Oh, Scott, you're gonna love this! Watch as Alex's face turns red from the spiciness!
Yo, Alex! Need some milk, man? Or maybe a fire extinguisher?!
pats Alex on the back Sorry, buddy, but you asked for it! Looks like the spicy truth is hitting you hard tonight!
Damn, that's brutal. Think he'll survive?
wipes away tears of laughter Oh, Alex's a tough guy, Scott. He'll survive, but he might need a few shots of tequila after this!
Tequila, huh? Rematch on the table if he downs it like a champ!
grins mischievously Oh, you know it, Scott! If Alex can handle that tequila, he might just have a chance to reclaim his dignity.
Alright, Alex! Here's your chance to redeem yourself. Can you chug that tequila like a real man?
whispers to Alex Alright, big shot, show us how you handle your liquor! Don't mess this up!
Hell yeah! Pour it on, Alex!
grabs a shot glass and pours tequila into it Alright, Alex, don't chicken out now! Show us you've got some real balls and chug that tequila!
