Hayley Plays a Dangerous Game With Bill — Plus, Get Ready to Meet The Impaler!

Hayley is dining solo at the club when Leslie waltzes in and plops herself down at the other woman’s table. Hayley makes it clear she wants nothing to do with Eva’s mom, but Leslie… well she’s not one to take “no” for an answer. In fact, she says that “game recognizes game,” countering Hayley’s denials with a raised eyebrow and a warning that “you just haven’t been caught yet.” Leslie says she’ll be available if Hayley ever needs a favor. “All you’ve got is a pre-nup and a ring on your finger,” says Leslie, pointing out she is an Articulette by birth and business partner of Joey, who can help if Hayley “actually needs somebody dead someday.” Just then Bill — fresh from a meeting with Joey — walks in, surprised to find the women together.
“Not today, Satan,” says Bill, insisting Leslie leave. He later tells Hayley about his hand tremors, suggesting maybe they should see Madison again. She pretends to agree, but then suggests it might just be stress over recent events, ultimately using reverse psychology to talk him out of going to the doctor!
