Bianka Ismailovski came on through into Palsville to hang out with Mayor Ashley, but her unhired PA/local jeweller Mandy Vankleefken had to interrupt the meeting.

After discovering what made her the woman she is today, the three friends get 10 basketballs and try to reenact the traumatic events that turned Cynthia from a childhood bully, to an adulthood bitch (compliment).
