Episode Overview
Title: Elka's Shell Plot: This poignant episode centers on Elka as she grapples with the anniversary of her mother’s passing, causing her spirits to dip. While the group opts for a night of revelry, Elka chooses to remain behind. In an effort to lift her spirits and help her "break free," they storm her room, strip down, and humorously dance with pool cues on the pool table. Meanwhile, Genesis feels isolated without fellow LGBTQ+ friends and attempts to connect online with a site for "transsexuals," where she meets a charming drag performer. Her mood brightens further after discovering a local gay bookstore. Elsewhere, Jason, Elka, and Montana form the quirky band "Scotch Tape," capturing playful moments as they pose as musicians.
