Plot Summary
Ernie and his boys are invited to a big time party hosted by George Cukor. Jack decides this isn’t his scene, especially given the homosexual implications of this, but Ernie exudes a convincing speech about hostility towards gays, convincing the aspiring actor to go nonetheless.

Roy (now going by the alias of Rock) returns to Archie and they eat together where he talks about his troubled past involving his family. Archie realizes he’s perfect for the role in Peg and decides Rock should go ahead and audition. At the same time, Jack interrupts Dick’s lunch and pitches himself as one of the lead roles in that very same picture.

Rock then meets Henry and he’s brutally honest with him, telling Rock to keep a level-head and invites him to his house that evening. After a bizarre dance and a night in his arms, Henry phones through to Dick and organizes a screen test. Jack catches wind of this and Ellen tells him he needs to step up his game in the wake of Henry’s new client.

Camille continues her role in the black and white picture, told to keep things as comedic as possible. When she changes her lines, it annoys the Director and she walks off set. While Claire gets a screen test to be Peg, Camille sleeps with Raymond and tells him she should screen test for the same role but change Peg Entwistle’s name to Meg and make her from Mississippi.

With all the pieces set into motion and revolving around this film, all our different characters show up at George Cuker’s party. Dick gets nice and drunk, prompting Henry to watch from the shadows while all the different boys from the gas station start working.

Henry manages to get Rock to speak to Dick in private before he runs into Jack inside. Jack tells Henry he needs an agent and agrees to speak to him in private to talk. They head to the tennis court while Claire watches from the shadows as Henry forces him to get undressed. As he does, Jack realizes he doesn’t love his wife and rushes away, unable to go through with this, as Henry promises him he’s now finished.

After convincing Dick to head home and calling him a good man, Rock speaks to Archie and tells him he loves him. At the same time, Raymond tells Camille that she’s perfect for the screen test and is determined to set out and get her the role. So much so that he heads back to the studio and tells Dick that if he doesn’t screen test Camille then he won’t Direct. Dick decides to give it a shot, especially after the incident involving Anna Wong all those years ago.
