G-Thang ( Gabby Mendoza [5’5” 120 lbs.]/ Ginnifer Chadwick[5’5” 119 lbs.]
vs.
Beach Bombers (Lily Burlingame [5’2” 110 lbs.]/ Babe Babcock [5’2” 122 lbs.)
The quarterfinals begin with a flourish of lightweights, the recently minted G-Thang pairing Gabby Mendoza and Ginnifer Chadwick take the momentum of their win over Spicy Matzah into the Elite Eight, Gabby having pinned Marisa Fuentes to move the Thang forward.
The G’s slipped past the veterans and look to do the same in tonight’s contest in St. Petersburg. Perhaps not yet quite as fluid as Mendoza’s original team Barely Legal, the consensus of FAWNatics is that, despite their desire to see Gabby crash and burn, her new partner provides a bigger upside. That idea will be put to the test with a semifinal berth on the line.
In the opposite corner are an interesting duo in the high-flying Lily Burlingame and the supremely solid all-around game of veteran Babe Babcock. While Burlingame has been splitting time with Babe and her sister Susan in the FAWN tag scene, it’s blonde and brunette who’ve taken the first step toward the Queens of the Ring moniker.
In the Round of 16, the Beach Bombers outlasted the newcomers of FIC, the unpredictable pairing of Lyra Faulk and Harriet Larkin pushing Lily and Babe to the limit but falling short when Burlingame got the three-count against Lyra.
Tonight would cast a whole new set of challenges as the stakes grow higher for each team, the whiff of the final four wafting through the air.
Mendoza steps up to start G-Thang’s second foray into the tourney, the Babyfaced Killer assuring Ginnifer she’s got this. Mendoza moves to the middle and waves one of the Bombers forward to get blown up.
The crowd roars with delight when it’s the dark-haired Girl From Outer Space who answers the call. Lily chests into Gabby, forcing Mendoza back a step or two.
“Remember when you beat your EX to take my title?” Burlingame asks, knowing well her opponent has the answer, particularly when Gabby’s snarl turns to smirk. “I’m going to make sure there’s no easy way out for you tonight,” Lily continues. “Every time you’re in the ring, I’m in or I’m coming.”
Mendoza shakes her body from head to toe in mock terror before she blows a big pink bubble from her BubbleYum before popping it with her tongue and sucking it back in.
“Then beating you will be that much sweeter,” she responds.
The bell brings the match to order and the two spritely brunettes into a stiff and feisty collar-and-elbow. Mendoza pivots and tugs the former Cherry Bomb into a grinding headlock, a beaming Ginnifer providing her partner an ovation. But the applause doesn’t last long as Lily gets her hands to Mendoza’s hips and heaves her foe off.
Gabby uses the momentum to race to the ropes and rebound, but what she doesn’t realize is Burlingame is right after her. The Babyfaced Killer gets barely a step out of the cables before the Crimson Comet NAILS her in the jaw with a snappy dropkick.
Mendoza backflips over the top cable but manages to catch the rope and remain on the apron as Burlingame kips to her feet. The Terrible Texan tosses an overhand right fist at the approaching Roseate Rocket but Lily deftly blocks with a left forearm and CRASHES a response into Gabby’s cheek, whipping Mendoza’s skull in the opposite direction.
Still, Gabby keeps her grip and remains above the arena floor. Burlingame is unfazed. She reaches over the strands and draws the wobbling Mendoza into a front facelock then welcomes Gabby back within the squared circle with a sweet suplex that SLAMS Gabby’s spine into the thinly-sheathed plywood.
Mendoza arches in pain from the impact but she’s quick to climb to her feet. She turns directly into a dipping Burlingame, Lily sending an arm between the legs of the ebony-maned grappler. Size being no object in this match-up, the former Bomb launches and overturns Mendoza to her right shoulder. But instead of body slamming Gabby to the mat, Lily drops to her backside and DRIVES Gabby’s golden-skinned frame into the canvas with a ring-rattling Juvi Driver that leaves Mendoza spread-eagled at her feet and seemingly a candidate for an early exit.

Burlingame reaches forward to collect Mendoza’s legs and fold her into a matchbook for the…
ONE…
TWO…
Gabby keeps the G’s alive with a flinching kick out, rolling to her side within the extended legs of the Crimson Comet, at least delaying Lily’s revenge.
Later…
A rubber-legged Mendoza wobbles in front of the feisty Burlingame and Lily decides to go the smallish version of big on the Babyfaced Killer. Dipping, she sends an arm between the tawny stems of Mendoza again, this time scooping her foe into a horizontal position across her chest.
With the Latina squirming for her freedom, Lily’s dual grip remains true and she lays out, heaving Gabby up and over through a barrel roll that sends her foe’s vertebrae CRASHING into the deck with a fallaway slam.
Fallaway Slam (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNAuZBPU5_k )
The force sends Mendoza rolling to her chest then over to her back once more. She sends a hand down to grasp at the base of her spine but can manage little more as the pain washes over her.
For her part, Lily kips to her feet to the adoration of the FAWNatics. She skips over the splayed G and slips through the ropes, taking her attack to the outside.
Grasping the top ropes as she looks upon the stirring Gabby, the former Cherry Bomb takes to her natural environment. She hops to the uppermost cable, her soles landing firmly on the top rope. Burlingame springboards HIGH into the stratosphere and front flips into a MASSIVE senton bomb across the unguarded midriff of Mendoza.

As Gabby writhes in pain, hugging her tummy, Lily rolls to her feet, unable to hide a satisfied smile.
Later…
With Ginnifer pleading with an increasingly stymied Gabby to make a tag, a vertical but wobbly Mendoza tries to locate a racing Lily. The Babyfaced Killer catches a flash out of the corner of her eye and manages to scoop the former Cherry Bomb up on her hip, but as she does, Burlingame clamps on a head scissors and twirls around Gabby.
Flying Headscissors (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcXbWKt60kc ) @ 00:26
Mendoza is sent flipping to the canvas via a flying headscissors, tumbling all the way to the G-Thang corner where she climbs to her feet with the help of the buckles behind her. A poised Lily pleads for Gabby to come back for more, but Mendoza’s had plenty and reaches behind her for a tag to Ginnifer. An eager Chadwick enters the fray, charging at Burlingame.
The Girl from Outer Space isn’t bashful, also racing toward her foe, leaping into a tuck and bowling The Gorgeous One over with a cannonball-like Thesz Press. There’s a race to vertical between the two Lily wins and she leg sweeps Chadwick to her back then drops an elbow to the blonde’s chest.
Later…
With Chadwick flattened and face down on the mat, Burlingame races to tag her partner, but instead of leaving the squared circle, she returns to her foe. Stepping on the back of Chadwick’s thighs, the former Bomb secures Ginnifer’s lower legs around her own then collects the blonde’s splayed arms at the wrists.
Leaning back, the lithe brunette rolls to her back, simultaneously elevating a trapped Ginnifer above her, the limbs of the Gorgeous One tugged and tortured with Burlingame’s Cherry Cola.

As a stubborn Chadwick grimaces in pain, the official starts his count on Burlingmae. Babe intercedes and certainly not for Chadwick’s benefit, as the former lifeguard comes flying in with a double axhandle to Ginnifer’s exposed midriff, gutting Rose Evans’ replacement.

Later…
With the Cherry Bomber having left the ring, the beach Babe gets to work on a splayed Chadwick. Babcock collects both ankles, lifting Ginnifer’s lower limbs. She rotates around them, locking the legs in a figure-four. With the crowd roaring, Babe shifts to bring the pouty-lipped blonde over to her chest and lock in her Inverted Cloverleaf.
Inverted Cloverleaf (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej8mRIvYYeI )
Babe drops to her knees to increase the pressure on both legs and The Gorgeous One’s spine, drawing a worried gulp from Mendoza on the outside. The ref drops in front of Chadwick, asking for a submission but she shakes her head, holding out until the cavalry arrives, Gabby feeling forced to make a saving dropkick to Babcock’s shoulder, setting her partner free.
Later…
After reaffirming control with the ejection of Gabby by the ref, Babe has Ginnifer pulled into a front facelock. The beach blonde reaches to wrap an arm around the pit of Chadwick’s knee for a vertical cradle. Tugging Ginny’s left leg up tight, Babcock is ready to launch the blasted blonde up for a fisherman’s suplex, but Chadwick drops backward and trips Babe to the deck, rolling her into a cradle of her own; the difference, Babe’s shoulders are on the canvas for the…
ONE…
TWO…
Babcock squirms her way free while giving up her own remaining grip. The veteran scrambles to her feet and catches a rising Ginnifer flush in the chest with a karate side kick flattening Ginny to the canvas.
Babe heads for the Bombers’ corner and tags to her acrobatic partner, Lily already on her way to the top buckle. The Roseate Rocket rises to a stance on the ropes and skies into the air to finish the quarterfinal blowout with a Cherry Warhead.
Cherry Warhead (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu3VFsSxRcA )
But showing a sign of life that has been rare in the match thus far, the G-Thang blonde pulls her knees in and up and Lily guts herself across the bony joints. With the finisher gone horribly wrong, she rolls off her foe, unfortunately for her toward the middle of the ring rather than an anxious Babe.
Ginnifer crawls on all fours as quickly as she’s able and dives to a tag of the Babyfaced Killer who turns the tables on the former Cherry Bomb, going to the top, launching and landing in a flush Frog Splash. Gabby crushes the already weakened abs of her rival, sending Lily into a fit of spasms as she hugs her blasted belly.
Later…
Gabby has Burlingame up and is bullying her around the battlefield, nailing her with a couple European Uppercuts that stagger and stun the high flyer. The Terrible Texan then tugs Lily into a front facelock and buggywhips the former Bomb up and over with a snap suplex. Lily splatters to the canvas with a THUMP, Burlingame arching in pain from the collision.
But Gabby is far from done. She corrals the woman from whom she’d taken the lightweight title and draws her into another front facelock then snaps her over again with a warp speed edition. Lily’s face is pinched in pain and then anxiety when Mendoza forces her up for a triple Burlingame can’t deny, Gabby completing the three-spot of suplexes with the most powerful one yet, the impact blowing up the former Bomb, the Crimson Comet banging into the deck and sliding a foot before stopping and reaching for the base of her spine.
Snap suplexes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_4XqYidBUQ )
Later…
Feeling more herself, Gabby is blowing big pink bubbles with her trademark wad. She has a body scissors around each set of ribs of the wincing Burlingame from behind, both dark-haired lovelies seated on the canvas. The Babyfaced Killer snakes her arms under and around those of Susan’s sibling and laces her fingers in a full nelson.
The spiteful Latina shakes the head of the former FAWN interviewer from side to side, scrambling Burlingame’s senses, the big doe eyes of the former Cherry Bomb vacant after the rattle. But they gain a focus when Mendoza leeeans backward then thrusts her pelvis upward and forward to launches Burlingame in front of her and spike her tailbone into the deck with a keister bounce.
Even a few of the Bombers’ fans appreciate Gabby’s painful ploy, the crowd ‘WHOAAAING’ as Lily’s pulled back and lifted again. Burlingame squeaks out a ‘no’ as she heads back to earth, her coccyx plunging into the deck, a shockwave rising up her spine.
Another three-spot on the mind of the Terrible Texan, Gabby sets Lily for a third bounce, but when she lifts Burlingame this time, Lily is able to get her boot soles into the canvas and push with her foe’s pull. Breaking free of the nelson, she back somersaults out of Gabby’s possession and traps her in a crucifix pinning combination, Gabby’s shoulders planted, her legs above her bicycling for freedom through…
ONE…
TWO…
Mendoza breaks free and scrambles worriedly back to her corner for a tag.
Seeing the woman she so wanted to destroy retreat and evacuate, Burlingame decides it’s time for Babe to get some beach time and tags her partner in.
Not much later…
The two newly legal blondes race at each other and the veteran takes Ginnifer to the canvas with a drop toe hold, Chadwick’s chin banging off the canvas. As the Gorgeous One checks her teeth with a swipe of her tongue, Babe kips to her feet and heads for the nearest corner. She reaches and rises as Ginnifer staggers to her feet, turning to face the beachgoer.
Off her perch as her foe turns, Babcock leaps toward Ginnifer. Babcock balls into a tight ball, knees pressed to Chadwick’s chest as she loops her hands behind Ginny’s neck. Using gravity, Babe pulls Ginnifer off the deck as she drops to the canvas and demolishes the blonde G with her signature Chest Compressor, an inverted version of a Taliban Backpack
Inverted of the following (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVcCJydZuhE ) @00:11
Ginnifer whiplashes from the impact, ending spreadeagled, knocked into next week by the veteran. A little jarred herself, Babe takes a few moments to crawl to the splayed Thang and drop her body across in a lateral press for the…
ONE…
TWO…
THRNOOO!
Later…
Babe has a reeling Ginnifer in a neutral corner and races toward a splash of the Gorgeous One. But a pivoting Chadwick meets her with a nasty back elbow to the mush that spins and stagger the former lifeguard away a few steps. As Babe does a tooth-check of her own, Ginnifer turns to start a climb of the buckles. She overestimates Babcock’s recovery time and Babe catches the rising Chadwick with a forearm blow to the spine that ends her ascension.
Turning her back to Ginnifer, Babe presses her palms into the blonde’s armpits and lifts her high off the middle ropes in a crucifix position, ready to send Ginny to Splash Mountain.
Splash Mountain (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqGV0v6LaGI )
Before Babe can send her foe to a fateful ending, Ginnifer shakes free and slides down Babcock’s back. Chadwick reaches over her right shoulder, wrapping her arm around Babe’s noggin in a ¾ facelock. She pulls the veteran’s neck tight to her shoulder and drops to the canvas delivering a nasty neckbreaker.
Neckbreaker (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLXIj4HwVSU )
Later…
Chadwick has Babcock on the canvas standing above her with a tight double-hand grip on her right wrist. She drives a boot into Babe’s back, rolling the beachgoer onto her side then bends the arm back, close to the snapping point. But that’s not enough for the frustrated Ginnifer, who’s had a tough match. Instead, she places her opposite boot atop Babe’s forearm and SLAMS the limb to the deck, Babe screaming in agony from the Chadwick Crush.
Chadwick Crush (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsCkw4QAQXk )
Sneering down at the shuddering blonde, Ginnifer maintains a focused snarl as she uses the injured wing to RIP Babe to her feet. Chadwick secures a waistlock and, spinning away from the pained Babcock as she vaults Babe into the air, secures her wriggling foe atop her right shoulder.
Carrying her cargo to the middle, the Gorgeous One genuflects to her left knee, thrusting Babe down into a vicious shoulderbreaker to the already throbbing limb. Babe tumbles off to the canvas, howling in pain, cradling her arm next to an impassive Chadwick, who eschews going for a pin.
Shoulderbreaker (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvAWoyDsEUw )
Not much later…
Instead, the Gorgeous G snatches the wrist of Babe’s aching arm and again pulls the wincing, mewling Babcock to vertical. The blonde ties Babcock’s right arm behind her back with a hammerlock, sending the beachgoer to tiptoes in the process, trying and failing to relieve some of the pressure.
But Chadwick has more in mind for the reeling veteran. Securing her foe in a front facelock with her free arm, she sends Babe flipping overhead with a hammerlock suplex that sends Babcock crashing into a neutral corner, her ankles hitting hard against the middle buckle while her folded arm lands beneath Babe’s bodyweight.
Turnbuckle Hammerlock Suplex (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEdIWafCV5A )
Again, the precise attack of the Gorgeous One pays dividends, Babe squealing in anguish as she flounders to her side, pulling her right arm close, cradling the demolished limb as Lily paces nervously in the Bombers’ corner.
Chadwick grabs the left wrist this time, but only to drag Babe to the middle where she drops across her foe for the pin and the win at…
ONE…
TWO…
THRNOOO!
Not at all later…
The gutsy Babe disregards the anguish she’s in and kicks free of the pin, that movement alone causing her immense pain.
As Babcock rolls to her chest to avoid another pin attempt, Chadwick mounts the beachgoer in a standing straddle and plucks Babe’s right arm off the canvas, locking it in a vicious knot with her own arms. She YANKS the limb into an agonizing hammerlock, then falls backward, thrusting her knees into her fellow blonde’s spine, trapping Babe in the Gorgeous Lock.
Gorgeous Lock (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJkddlflmRI )
Midriff thrust upward as her backbone is arched in pain with Ginnifer also threatening to remove her right arm at the socket, Babcock wails in pain and the cavalry is quick to answer. Lily, seeing there is no escape for her partner and precious little time, dives through the ropes and knocks the knotted blondes over, breaking up the submission.
Unwilling to let the interference go unanswered, Gabby shoots between top and middle strand and gets two steps toward the flaxen-haired pileup when an already risen Burlingame spears the HOLY HELL out of the Babyfaced Killer. Mendoza jackknifes around Lily’s shoulder tackle and is sent flying through the cables back first, the former Cherry Bomb detonating with enough force, she also heads out of the ring attached to the Texan.
Gabby and Lily bounce off the apron and tumble to the floor below where Burlingame lands next to the flattened G. Snatching Mendoza’s left arm at the wrist, Lily lies back with her new possession, scissoring and extending Gabby’s limb far beyond what it is designed for, Burlingame securing a brutal armbar.
Armbar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StxEQfp3gYk&t=118s ) @00:51
As Gabby enthusiastically taps the lightly padded cement outside the ring, signaling her surrender to Lily; inside Ginnifer has ably reestablished the Gorgeous Lock on a ragged Babe and it takes but a few seconds of urging from Chadwick for Babcock to capitulate, tapping her own chest with her free hand when she can reach nothing else.
The ref turns to the timekeeper and signals the match over and the bell clangs behind.
Only when the announcer intones “Your winners by submission and moving onto the semifinals of the 2017 Queens of the Ring tourney, Ginnifer Chadwick and Gabby Mendoza, G-Thang” do both Chadwick and Burlingame release their pleading victims.
Lily hops to her feet, having gained a measure of revenge on the mewling Mendoza, but is dejected when she sees a softly smirking Ginny hovering over the sniveling Babe, the zebra raising Chadwick’s hand.
Burlingame slides into the ring and her approach convinces Ginnifer to back off and leave Lily to tend to her partner. Meanwhile, the Gorgeous One celebrates serenely with little hint of worry for the missing Mendoza. Gabby, cradling her injured wing, finally makes her feet and painfully rolls into the ring to join her teammate in victory, carefully keeping an eye on Lily and flinching when Burlingame makes a move toward her.
In response, Gabby makes sure Burlingame knows who is advancing to the final four…loudly…as the G’s head for the exit and leave the Bombers to think about what could have been.

Mendoza breaks free and scrambles worriedly back to her corner for a tag.
Seeing the woman she so wanted to destroy retreat and evacuate, Burlingame decides it’s time for Babe to get some beach time and tags her partner in.
Not much later…
The two newly legal blondes race at each other and the veteran takes Ginnifer to the canvas with a drop toe hold, Chadwick’s chin banging off the canvas. As the Gorgeous One checks her teeth with a swipe of her tongue, Babe kips to her feet and heads for the nearest corner. She reaches and rises as Ginnifer staggers to her feet, turning to face the beachgoer.
Off her perch as her foe turns, Babcock leaps toward Ginnifer. Babcock balls into a tight ball, knees pressed to Chadwick’s chest as she loops her hands behind Ginny’s neck. Using gravity, Babe pulls Ginnifer off the deck as she drops to the canvas and demolishes the blonde G with her signature Chest Compressor, an inverted version of a Taliban Backpack

Ginnifer whiplashes from the impact, ending spreadeagled, knocked into next week by the veteran. A little jarred herself, Babe takes a few moments to crawl to the splayed Thang and drop her body across in a lateral press for the…

THRNOOO!
Later…
Babe has a reeling Ginnifer in a neutral corner and races toward a splash of the Gorgeous One. But a pivoting Chadwick meets her with a nasty back elbow to the mush that spins and stagger the former lifeguard away a few steps. As Babe does a tooth-check of her own, Ginnifer turns to start a climb of the buckles. She overestimates Babcock’s recovery time and Babe catches the rising Chadwick with a forearm blow to the spine that ends her ascension.
Turning her back to Ginnifer, Babe presses her palms into the blonde’s armpits and lifts her high off the middle ropes in a crucifix position, ready to send Ginny to Splash Mountain.

Before Babe can send her foe to a fateful ending, Ginnifer shakes free and slides down Babcock’s back. Chadwick reaches over her right shoulder, wrapping her arm around Babe’s noggin in a ¾ facelock. She pulls the veteran’s neck tight to her shoulder and drops to the canvas delivering a nasty neckbreaker.

Later…
Chadwick has Babcock on the canvas standing above her with a tight double-hand grip on her right wrist. She drives a boot into Babe’s back, rolling the beachgoer onto her side then bends the arm back, close to the snapping point. But that’s not enough for the frustrated Ginnifer, who’s had a tough match. Instead, she places her opposite boot atop Babe’s forearm and SLAMS the limb to the deck, Babe screaming in agony from the Chadwick Crush.

Sneering down at the shuddering blonde, Ginnifer maintains a focused snarl as she uses the injured wing to RIP Babe to her feet. Chadwick secures a waistlock and, spinning away from the pained Babcock as she vaults Babe into the air, secures her wriggling foe atop her right shoulder.
Carrying her cargo to the middle, the Gorgeous One genuflects to her left knee, thrusting Babe down into a vicious shoulderbreaker to the already throbbing limb. Babe tumbles off to the canvas, howling in pain, cradling her arm next to an impassive Chadwick, who eschews going for a pin.

Not much later…
Instead, the Gorgeous G snatches the wrist of Babe’s aching arm and again pulls the wincing, mewling Babcock to vertical. The blonde ties Babcock’s right arm behind her back with a hammerlock, sending the beachgoer to tiptoes in the process, trying and failing to relieve some of the pressure.
But Chadwick has more in mind for the reeling veteran. Securing her foe in a front facelock with her free arm, she sends Babe flipping overhead with a hammerlock suplex that sends Babcock crashing into a neutral corner, her ankles hitting hard against the middle buckle while her folded arm lands beneath Babe’s bodyweight.

Again, the precise attack of the Gorgeous One pays dividends, Babe squealing in anguish as she flounders to her side, pulling her right arm close, cradling the demolished limb as Lily paces nervously in the Bombers’ corner.
Chadwick grabs the left wrist this time, but only to drag Babe to the middle where she drops across her foe for the pin and the win at…
ONE…
TWO…
THRNOOO!
Not at all later…
The gutsy Babe disregards the anguish she’s in and kicks free of the pin, that movement alone causing her immense pain.
As Babcock rolls to her chest to avoid another pin attempt, Chadwick mounts the beachgoer in a standing straddle and plucks Babe’s right arm off the canvas, locking it in a vicious knot with her own arms. She YANKS the limb into an agonizing hammerlock, then falls backward, thrusting her knees into her fellow blonde’s spine, trapping Babe in the Gorgeous Lock.

Midriff thrust upward as her backbone is arched in pain with Ginnifer also threatening to remove her right arm at the socket, Babcock wails in pain and the cavalry is quick to answer. Lily, seeing there is no escape for her partner and precious little time, dives through the ropes and knocks the knotted blondes over, breaking up the submission.
Unwilling to let the interference go unanswered, Gabby shoots between top and middle strand and gets two steps toward the flaxen-haired pileup when an already risen Burlingame spears the HOLY HELL out of the Babyfaced Killer. Mendoza jackknifes around Lily’s shoulder tackle and is sent flying through the cables back first, the former Cherry Bomb detonating with enough force, she also heads out of the ring attached to the Texan.
Gabby and Lily bounce off the apron and tumble to the floor below where Burlingame lands next to the flattened G. Snatching Mendoza’s left arm at the wrist, Lily lies back with her new possession, scissoring and extending Gabby’s limb far beyond what it is designed for, Burlingame securing a brutal armbar.

As Gabby enthusiastically taps the lightly padded cement outside the ring, signaling her surrender to Lily; inside Ginnifer has ably reestablished the Gorgeous Lock on a ragged Babe and it takes but a few seconds of urging from Chadwick for Babcock to capitulate, tapping her own chest with her free hand when she can reach nothing else.
The ref turns to the timekeeper and signals the match over and the bell clangs behind.
Only when the announcer intones “Your winners by submission and moving onto the semifinals of the 2017 Queens of the Ring tourney, Ginnifer Chadwick and Gabby Mendoza, G-Thang” do both Chadwick and Burlingame release their pleading victims.
Lily hops to her feet, having gained a measure of revenge on the mewling Mendoza, but is dejected when she sees a softly smirking Ginny hovering over the sniveling Babe, the zebra raising Chadwick’s hand.
Burlingame slides into the ring and her approach convinces Ginnifer to back off and leave Lily to tend to her partner. Meanwhile, the Gorgeous One celebrates serenely with little hint of worry for the missing Mendoza. Gabby, cradling her injured wing, finally makes her feet and painfully rolls into the ring to join her teammate in victory, carefully keeping an eye on Lily and flinching when Burlingame makes a move toward her.
In response, Gabby makes sure Burlingame knows who is advancing to the final four…loudly…as the G’s head for the exit and leave the Bombers to think about what could have been.
