On her way back from dinner with Lois, Babs thinks about her relationship with Katarina. She recalls that they hadn't really spoken to each other at all at college until they'd discovered they both loved to run. From then on they were best friends but always competing with each other. In one pivotal race, Katarina deliberately trips Babs, making her hurt herself, then goes on to win only to admit to the judges what she'd done and allow herself to be disqualified. From then on their friendship had ended.
