==Episode Summary==
===Plot A: Alexa's auditions===
The episode opens with Jane, Alexa, Rachel and Blanket engaging in a game of Twister. The game gets quickly interrupted when Alexa receives an email notification from her laptop, causing the other girls to collapse on top of each other. Alexa excitedly approaches her laptop, only to realise that the email was from Julie's instead. Her friends soon grow curious onto why Alexa seemed excited to receive an email, and she tells them that she was expecting to hear back from a company that was auditioning for a hairspray commercial. After this moment Alexa receives another email, however it's from the grocery store. Frustrated, Alexa begins to leave the room when she receives yet another notification, and another soon after that. After the fourth email gets dismissed once more, Rachel reads the third email aloud, and it is revealed to be from the production company; confirming that Alexa earned a spot in the audition process. Rachel and Jane agree to accompany Alexa to her audition, and after Alexa pushes Rachel down in excitement and decides to run off. Jane continues to complain about her foot being asleep while sitting on the Twister mat, and Blanket attempts to wake it up. Unfortunately, this causes Blanket to trip over, leaving all three girls on the ground.
At the audition, the three girls appear to line up while Jane attempts to calm someone's nerves. The person is soon revealed to be Rachel, who appears to be hyperventilating with nerves for Alexa. She instructs the two to hand her a bag to throw up in with little success at first. Jane then proceeds to ask the woman in front of her for a bag, but when the woman turns around, it is revealed to be Emma Ginley. Jane immediately recognises her by name, leaving Emma confused. Meanwhile Alexa manages to steal a hand bag of another woman and hands it to Rachel to throw up in. After a little while Rachel lifts her head up, revealing her identity to Emma. The two share a hostile conversation with each other about their past before Emma reaches the front of the line. She enters the production office, and Rachel begins to feel sick again.
A few days later, Alexa is seen helping Rachel out with the dinner, however her lack of previous cooking experience causes the spatula she was using to break. After this moment Alexa eventually receives an email notification on her laptop, and she decides to go and read it. The email is revealed to be from the production company stating that she earned a callback audition, however she believes it to be a spam at first and manages to delete it. Rachel and Jane then rush over to her laptop to tell her that her email was legitimate and Jane manages to retrieve it from her trash. The pair then read the email aloud, and it is revealed that the callback was down between Alexa and Emma Ginley. As a result, Rachel agrees to "coach" Alexa into making the perfect audition in order to get back at Emma. She starts this by drilling her lines into her.
Alexa and Jane soon arrive at the production office and they encounter Emma Ginley in the lobby. When Rachel arrives a little later, the four exchange another hostile conversation before Emma and Alexa get invited into the office. Rachel and Jane attempt to follow suit, however the security guards refuse to let them in. Rachel and Jane agree to sneak through some vents in order to spy on Alexa's audition. Following the vent sequence, Alexa and Emma are seen standing in front of a backdrop with a bunch of hairsprays on a table in front of them. The casting director then instructs them to improvise. Alexa, being confused at the concept, eventually decides to say her original lines anyway. Emma decides to improvise, however, which eventually leads to her spraying the hairspray product in Alexa's direction. Fortunately, Alexa blocks the spray with a nearby umbrella. After this she finally decides to go off script, and she decides to spray Emma with two streams of hairspray. The casting director immediately yells at them to stop, and soon enough Emma's hair strongly reacts to the product. Around this moment Jane falls out of the vent, twisting her ankle, and Rachel follows suit with no difficulty immediately afterwards. Soon later the skin on Emma's face starts getting blemishes, so the casting director decides to drive her to the emergency room and rewards Alexa with the role in the commercial. Rachel and Jane are thrilled with the outcome, however Alexa feels the opposite. She decides to visit Emma in the emergency room to apologise to her.
===Plot B: Reuben's revenge===
After the opening credits, Dean can be seen sitting at the table in his work's break room looking glum. One of his coworkers notices this and asks him about why he was looking that way, and he tells him that he forgot his lunch at home and he had nothing to eat. After a few suggestions of the coworker's meal and the broken vending machine, the coworker eventually suggests for him to eat something from the fridge. Dean listens to him, takes out a blank looking chicken sandwich, and begins to eat it. A few moments later Reuben enters the break room in deep conversation with two of his coworkers. During the conversation he mentions the "glorious" sandwich that he packed in the fridge and goes to look for it. When he realises that it's missing, Dean immediately realises his mistake and hides the sandwich behind his back. Reuben notices his suspicions and approaches him, causing Dean to spit out a chunk of the sandwich. Dean quickly defends himself, claiming that the sandwich had no one's name on it. Reuben quickly points out a note taped to the bottom of the sandwich though, reading "ANYONE WHO EATS MY SANDWICH WILL PAY - REUBEN". Dean begins to apologise, however Reuben refuses to hear another word. He simply threatens him; telling him that the rest of the day will be "living hell" for him.
Later that day Dean attempts to enter Reuben's office, however bumps his head on the glass when he finds out that Reuben locked it. Dean raps on the door to get Reuben's attention, however he refuses to let him in. After a few attempts he finally caves, and tells him that there was a key located in the bottom drawer in the filing cabinet outside. Dean opens the drawer to find nothing but a pile of garbage. Reuben then corrects his "mistake" by telling him the key was actually in the drawer above it. Dean opens the drawer and sticks his hand in to find the key. He does, however he also quickly realises that the drawer was actually full of honey too. Furious, he eventually uses the key to unlock Reuben's door and greets him in there. Him and Reuben share a timid conversation before Dean agrees to pay Reuben back later in revenge.
A little while later Dean is seen shaking a pile of cat hair onto Reuben's desk chair and sets up a trap full of cat toys. Reuben quickly arrives into the room while speaking on the phone, and Dean decides to hide under Reuben's desk. Before sitting Reuben decides to take his pants off, leaving him in underwear. He ends his phone conversation and sits down before noticing that his legs were suddenly getting itchy. This causes him to stand up and set off Dean's other trap, causing a bunch of cat toys to rain down on him. Dean immediately jumps up out from under Reuben's desk laughing, causing Reuben to feel frustrated and embarrassed. He then reveals to him that he was actually allergic to cat hair. Afterwards Reuben threatens Dean with a bee but backtracks, as it is revealed that Dean is allergic to bee stings. At this moment a coworker comes and delivers a package of a single bee to Reuben's desk. He then decides to set it out on Dean, and when the bee starts chasing him, he immediately regrets it. He agrees to "kill" the bee instead by slapping it with a magazine, however he takes the opportunity to hit Dean with it first. This causes the bee to land on Dean's hand, eventually stinging him. Reuben manages to slap the bee away however it's too late. Dean ends up collapsing on the floor.
===Closing scenes===
Alexa arrives at the emergency room with a small bouquet of flowers as a small gift of apology for Emma. The nurse eventually leads her into the emergency department, but Alexa accidentally ends up in the cell where Dean and Reuben were staying. Dean and Reuben are shown to be under the influence of a loopy drug, which causes Dean to mistake the flowers that Alexa brought was for him. She decides to give him the flowers anyway and leaves to go to the next cell quickly. Here she finds a distressed Emma. Alexa soon apologises for what she did to her, and immediately encourages her to take the role in the commercial instead. A little while later Rachel enters Emma's cell, and the two share another conversation. The conversation eventually leads to the two making up once more and becoming friends again, but after one condition. At this moment a loopy Dean pulls back the curtain to Emma's cell, and Rachel gives Emma permission to kiss him (just like she did in the original series. Dean, still heavily under the influence of the loopy medicine, immediately collapses after this.
During the closing credits, Reuben and Dean wake up in Dean's living room with the loopy medicine warn off. The two quickly realise the pain that they were suddenly in, and Reuben notices Emma's lipstick on Dean's mouth and the bouquet of flowers next to where he was sitting. The two then apologise to each other. Despite being on good terms, Reuben still demands Dean to make him another sandwich. Dean immediately calls out to Rachel to do it instead, however she declines.
==Continuity==
===WildSide===
*With Emma Ginley's reappearance in the series, many references are made to her episodes Wild Bully and Wild Bully the II.
**The scene where Rachel and Emma become friends again strongly mirrors the scene where they become friends in the later; each ending with Emma giving Dean a kiss on the lips.
*Dean's love of Bee Man was first established in Wild Mystery. He also previously mentioned it a little earlier in Wild Bounce.
===Wild2ide===
*Alexa's failed acting career was first mentioned in Stick By Each Other No Matter What (Part 1).
==Future References (contains spoilers)==
*The circumstances in which Reuben makes Dean get stung by a bee is mentioned by Rachel in Does That Happen to Normal People? when she details reasons against Dean letting Reuben live in his room.
*The events of Reuben sending Dean to hospital (causing him to almost die) and him getting put on a set of amnesiac loopy drugs brutally foreshadows Dean's van accident at the end of I'm Never Speaking to You Again. Not only does Reuben put Dean in a life threatening situation again (this time Dean is put into a coma), it is further revealed in You Should Think About Something Before You Say It that Dean never remembered the accident.
==Title Reference==
The title of this episode is a reference to a quote stated by the character Bill in the WildSide episode Wild Regret, while trying to make Justice feel better about her nose hair problem.
==Cast==
===Main Cast===

==Trivia==
*The episode title refers to both of the episode's plots.
*The break room of Ur Platform is shown for the first time.
*This episode marks the first time that Alexa lands an audition on-screen.
*Emma Ginley is the fourth WildSide character to appear in Wild2ide, and the second recurring character. She is revealed to be an aspiring actress.
*It is revealed that Rachel and Emma failed to keep in contact following the events of Wild Bully the II, leading Emma to loathe her again.
*It is revealed that Reuben is allergic to cat hair while Dean is allergic to bee stings (he actually has anaphylaxis).
*Jane once again compares her life to a television sitcom, creating a fourth wall moment.
*At one stage Reuben mentions Bee Man, a show that Dean is obviously a fan of. While Bee Man was previously brought up in the original series, Dean's actor Zachary Gordon actually starred as the titular Bee Man in the CFK 2 Go! original movies Bee Man (2020) and Bee Man 2 (2022).
*Justice Leonardo is finally acknowledged and mentioned in the series for the first time in this episode by Emma Ginley.
*Rachel and Emma officially become friends again.
==Goofs==
*Dean's reaction to the bee sting was an obvious anaphylactic shock, so Reuben should've provided him with a shot of an Epipen after Dean collapses. Instead he just takes him to hospital.
**Since some anaphylactic shocks can end in death, Dean should've sued Reuben or got him charged for attempted murder for releasing the bee on him, especially given that it was done by his boss and it happened at his place of work.
