Victoria then informs Melanie that only the actors from the last scene are coming back, as that is all they could afford. Melanie asks Victoria, who then will be on the other side of the door. Victoria is at a loss, as she hadn’t thought of that. Hugh suggests an evil twin of one of the actors.

Later, Elka trades Joy to the fat pool boy, for her favorite lipstick. The man then asks Joy if she is ready to give him a chance. She then begins talking and telling him what a tough year it has been for her, as far as relationships are concerned. He in turn asks her if she is one of the women who like to talk about stuff. She says a yes. The man then tells her that he just got divorced from someone who likes talking about stuff, and it’s not something that he wants right now, and leaves. Elka then tells Joy what a sad life she has. The episode ends at this point.
