She realizes that she can't plausibly make it seem that her insult was about some other Gavin from the office. She can't try some other way to recover from the embarrassment, after having started with an excuse that obviously won't work. Her saying "nope, no way to recover" is much like admitting that she made a mistake that, now, she can't fix. | |
