Better yet, anyone understand why the people who are with her at the beach are with her at the beach? She comes off as a weirdly competitive woman who more than anything else needs treatment for her Main Character Syndrome.
I mean, look at her- she's psyching herself up for what turns out to be a casual pick-up game of volleyball on the beach. In the first few seconds, I thought it was going to be revealed that this game was being broadcast on ESPN or something, but no- that intense look in her face, followed up by the equally intense look she gives to her teammates in the huddle just before the game starts (the group of friends on the other side of the net must be thinking "what the hell...oh, it's that insane woman again, the one who thinks something's at stake here. I hate when she shows up, she sucks all the fun out of this,) and her WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS expression at the end- good lord, woman, what is your issue?
And then we see her dominating the conversation around the beach fire we always see in commercials featuring beaches regardless of the fact that the vast majority of beaches in the United States don't allow open fires (so this is a private beach? How relatable,) probably explaining to her "friends" how she won the game with that move to earn Point 18 and how they really need more practice. We see her friends laughing but because we're supposed to be distracted by the pretty music and pretty faces we can't hear what they're laughing at, but we can guess they are patronizing her until she decides she needs her Recovery Rest and leaves so they can spend the rest of the night chuckling about the super-competitive freak who simply refuses to have fun at the beach.
