Outside, Annie gets all hot and bothered while practicing another sexy scene with Ty. She says she's stressing over everything, even though she's only in the chorus. Ty's conjoined twin, Foreshadow Collins, reminds her that she is also Adrianna's understudy. He asks if she's going to the Roosevelt Hotel after the show. She blathers on about the hotel until he cuts to the chase -- he booked them a room. He gives her the standard "only if you want to" line, but I'm pretty sure he has at least one other chorus girl lined up in case she bails.
That night at the Wilson abode, Debbie and Harry chat about Annie's newfangled life in the theater. Harry thinks it's too fast, too soon, too sexy! Debbie knows stifling her will backfire. She trusts Annie's judgment; he thinks she'll buckle under the pulses of Ty's libido. Debbie calls him out for punishing her for his mistakes. Her righteous indignation is a bit undercut, however, when Annie walks into the dining room in a dress that places her somewhere between Ashley Alexandra Dupré and Heidi Montag on the sliding scale of slutdom.
At school, Brenda and Adrianna do vocal exercises. Adrianna's mother busts in to tell Adrianna that she has invited agents to the show. "All you have to do," she says sharply, "is kill in this performance... and you'll start working again... and... we'll both be fine!" What a conniving bitch! Let's see more of her! She walks out, each clack of her hooker heels reminding us that Adrianna bears the weight of the world. She's a modern-day Atlas, that one.
Outside, Annie tries to avoid being late, but Harry wants to talk about Ty. He insists Ty should spend some time with the family. (Now will that be before or after they see The Bicycle Thief?) Annie is less-than-enthused, so Harry takes it one step further and invites Ty to join the family for dinner after the show. Annie reminds Harry of the after party, which only inspires Harry to start in on the sex talk, part two. She cuts him off and accuses him of not trusting her.
Inside, Brenda and Silver walk through the halls freaking out that Adrianna is nowhere to be found. Brenda, like, a true professional, lays all the decision-making on Silver. Silver screams out frantically. Conveniently, Adrianna is lying on a couch in that very room. Something tells me Silver was never very good at Where's Waldo? Brenda stomps up to a visibly loopy Adrianna, who claims she's taken a lot of cough medicine because singing so much has strained her voice. Then she lets out a giggly squeal, and the jig is up. Brenda calls Annie off the bench, with 15 minutes until curtain up. Commercials.
