| - The morning after the previous arc, as Penny mourns the loss of her friends, Aggie meets Marshall for a jog and enacts her plan: trying to convince him that Karen is ultimately responsible for Charlotte's slander against Sara, as part of a scheme to ruin Penny's reputation and friendships. Marshall, though acknowledging that Karen is insecure, refuses to believe she could be behind such a thing. He says further that Karen's the only one who's ever loved him for him, not just his looks. "You sure?" says Aggie, leading her to confess that she's loved him from the moment she first saw him. Marshall loses his temper, saying that Karen had warned him recently Aggie might try to steal him, but he didn't believe it. Now, he says, he feels betrayed, that he's tired of girls expecting him to "whore" himself out. Ignoring Aggie's tearful pleas to hear her out, he runs off, saying "Your parents would be ashamed of you." Aggie falls to her knees crying, while a car pulls up, seemingly watching her. A few minutes later, she gets a call from an angry, also tearful Karen, who calls her a "slut" and a "shrill, self-righteous poser" who cares only about her feelings. She also claims that if she'd kept those feelings in check and "stuck to your so-called morals," she might've had a chance with Marshall. She hangs up. Now at her lowest ebb, with everything she stands for having been called into question, Aggie recalls her mother's death in graphic detail and thinks that she can't go on. Then someone gets out of the car and walks over to her. It's Penny. She tells Aggie that she doesn't, deep down, care about superficial trappings of fashion and popularity, and thus doesn't even care that much about Karen's popularity games, because they aren't important in the long run. Except, she says, that unless Karen's stopped, she'll go on to hurt many others throughout life, as she's hurt Aggie. With that, she extends her hand to Aggie, who accepts it and allows Penny to pull her up. The comic's titular enemies are now allies.
