Hailey wants a chance to shine — but Rose has other priorities.

Captain Heroic arrives at Ralph’s Diner with Justice Ltd’s new Director of Public Engagement, Yazmine Velour, who’s recording his visit. Hailey is desperate to take their table, hoping for a little secondhand fame.

Transcript 

A comic sequence inside Ralph’s Diner. Hailey excitedly asks Rose to let her wait on Captain Heroic, who has just walked in with Yazmine Velour filming him on her phone. Rose declines, explaining he’s already seated in her section. Hailey suggests Rose hide a pimple since they’re recording. Hailey directs her to emergency concealer in the storage closet and tells her to “look for an old bag.” 

Panel 1
Hailey: “Let me wait on him today! Just this once!”
Rose: “Sorry, dear, he’s already in my section.”

Panel 2
Hailey: “No problem. But since they’re recording, you’ll wanna cover up that pimple first.”

Panel 3
Hailey: “I’ve got emergency concealer in the storage closet.”
Hailey (continuing): “Look for an old bag.”

Panel 4
Rose (inside closet): “There’s no old bag in—”
Rose: “Oh. I get it.”
