What's really going on
The surface is a polite reunion, but what runs underneath is ownership. Layla isn't threatened by a stranger; she's threatened because this woman is the real Wendy Balsam — the crush whose photo Billy kept in his locker. "She is so creepy, and you are so nice," she says, then lands the real punch: "...you are much too good for her." That isn't praise for Billy; it's a warning to stay away from Wendy and stay with her. Billy can't sit with that feeling. He answers by going cold and violent, grabbing the one thing he controls — "I'm gonna kill Scott Wood. I'm just gonna kill him." Threatening a man is easier for him than admitting he still wants the girl from his window.
Theme

このシーンについての質問
Why does Layla call Wendy creepy?
She's jealous: Wendy is Billy's childhood crush, and Layla has been using Wendy's name, so the real one feels like a threat.
Is the diner Wendy the girl Billy had a crush on?
Yes — Layla points out she looks exactly like the photo Billy kept in his locker, which confirms the connection.
Who is Don Shanks?
Wendy's fiancé, who invites Billy and Layla to sit with them and even offers them hot chocolate.
Why does Billy bring up killing Scott Wood right after meeting Wendy?
The reunion makes him feel small and exposed, so he reaches for the old grievance he knows: the kicker he believes ruined his life.
