Characters

Love and Rockets: El Fontanel; Sean Ogata; Scott; Rex Walker
Carl Davis; Bambi Dibble; Fritz; Gerry; Maricela; Kristen Niznick; Mike Niznick; Petra; Riri; Igor Valdez; Cynthia Walker (also as Cindy); Wanda; Starfire; Todd

Synopsis

Cynthia Walker's big Hollywood party is on as most of the main cast of characters attend. The mixed-race Igor mocks a racist comment made to him and converses about the (non) validity of a Hollywood-made Iggy Pop movie. Scott parties with Fritz and Petra. Mike schmoozes with various Hollywood types. Riri takes to the party while the more wary Maricela is on the receiving end of a cringey conversation with Kristen. El Fontanel and Rex get high before the Love and Rockets band's show starts. Kristen flirts with Sean but is crushed when she catches him in a sexual act with Bambi.
