We hear from Nina Samuels, who says that despite all her skill, Toni Storm is the easiest puppet to manipulate in her latest manipulate, for all she had to do is find a weakness and have her play right into her hands.

Rhea Ripley shows up. She says she knows how desperately the fans want to see her in action, then says that's too bad because it's not going to happen.
