FADE IN:

INT. CONFERENCE ROOM - EVENING

Previously on Network, Jesse tries (and fails!) to clean up his mess, leading to another potential off-brander getting ordered straight to series. And for TVRGO synergy, that show was Whoa Folks, I Had Another Dream. Now that we are up to speed with the events from last week’s episode, let’s get on with the show. On this week’s episode, it is the evening of Leah’s bachelorette party. Leah and Kasey are in the conference room.

Leah: Hey Kasey!

Kasey: Yes?

Leah: You still coming to my bachelorette party?

Kasey: Of course I am.

Leah: Good. Do you need a ride?

Kasey: I think so. What’s the venue?

Leah: I actually haven’t decided a full venue yet, but it will be spontaneous.

Kasey: Okay, anyone else coming?

Leah: We’re picking up Holly.

All of a sudden, Charlie shows up out of nowhere.

Charlie: A bachelorette party, huh?

Leah: Yes, Charlotte. My bachelorette party.

Charlie: Where?

Leah: I haven’t decided yet.

Charlie: Don’t bachelorettes typically go to the club?

Leah: Usually.

Charlie: And don’t they usually have male dancers.

Leah: You mean male strippers, Charlotte? Sometimes, but not always. I hope not to have any at mine.

Charlie: Oh, such a prude.

Kasey then interjects, glaringly.

Kasey: Rude.

Charlie: You know that’s the truth.

Kasey: Eh...I’m not so sure about that.

Leah: Okay, let’s all get in the car and head out, shall we?

All characters leave the scene.

CUT TO:

INT. CAR LOOP - TEN MINUTES LATER

Leah, Kasey, and Charlie are in the car. Leah is driving.

Leah: We are heading to Holly’s apartment, am I correct?

Kasey: Yes.

Charlie: Dang. Last time we saw Holly, she was at that punk’s place.

Kasey: Could you please stop calling my boyfriend a punk?

Charlie and Leah then look surprised, then they look at each other.

Leah: Oh wow, Kasey. Finally standing up to the feisty vigilante, huh?

Charlie: You do realize I’m saying this for her own good. This guy dumped you, then Holly, and he might as well dump you next unless someone knocks some sense into him.

Leah: And I’m marrying the network president. So I’ve obviously moved on.

Kasey: So why can’t I be happy with Jesse?

Leah: Let’s just drop the subject. We’re at her apartment complex.

CUT TO:

EXT. APARTMENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS

The women get out of the car.

Charlie: You should probably know that happiness is a social construct that turns into sadness, right?

Leah: You may need to drop that subject entirely, Charlotte.

Charlie: If I had a baseball bat in hand, I’d knock some sense into him when I get the chance.

Kasey: Then you’ll have to go through me first.

They go inside.

CUT TO:

INT. COMPLEX HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS

They enter. The argument has been brewing for a good long while. Then Holly bumps into them.

Holly: Hey guys.

Leah: Hey Holly, how are you holding up?

Holly: Doing well. Say, what are you guys doing here.

Leah: My bachelorette party is tonight. I don’t know where.

Holly then thinks of something.

Holly: My apartment is open. Let’s do it there.

The girls then exit the scene.

CUT TO:

INT. HOLLY’S APARTMENT - A COUPLE MINUTES LATER

The girls then enter the scene. Surprisingly the apartment is well lit and cleaned up for someone who recently experienced a breakup.

Holly: I cleaned out my apartment just for you guys. What shall we do?

Kasey: Well I was thinking we could order pizza.

Charlie: Good thinking.

Leah: That’s a great idea! DJ turn the music up!

Music then starts playing at medium level, at a level where neighbors won’t be disturbed. Then pizza gets ordered. The girls are having a good time, and it’s better than a typical bachelorette party with male dancers. On the next episode, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for! The press tour with critics! Will Ash stumble or will he triumph? Find out then!
