- The reviews are in for the first draft of "A Crazy Little Thing Called Love: The Musical." Hank looks for inspiration from Faith to help get him to the next level. Becca contemplates alternate careers. Charlie and Stu join forces to win back Marcy, but first, they'll have to pry her from the man-hating clutches of Ophelia Robbins.—SHOWTIME
- Becca is dismayed with her father's lukewarm response to her manuscript. Not half as much dismayed as he himself is for having had to give her his honest opinion. He suggests a rewrite.
Charlie tries once more to hook up with Marcie, and apologizes for the Housewife Hannah/Fun Time affair. She feels she's let down her she-ness His quote regarding accepting an ice-cream cone in hell might have won him the day, but manhater feminist Ophelia is there to drive in the wedge. She won't shake his hand offered in friendship ("How dare you offer me that diseased appendage?", and is rude, belligerent, unfair and quick to find an excuse to slap poor old Charlie. Marcie tries ushering him away.
Hank finally finishes work on the screenplay for the musical of his book "God Hates Us All" and Charlie sees to it that copies are made for the relevant parties awaiting this product.
Karen (classy as always Natascha McElhone) is furious with Hank for having been too staightforward.with Becca, who is now thinking about law school. She questions Hank re his opinion about another writer in the family, an interesting Freudian slip showing at least a little bit of a bond still in place.after all. She, of course, blows it off when he points it out. He does truly think Becca has loads of talent, and that she is way ahead of him when he was that age. Not that he told it that way to her.
Charlie and Stu discuss Ophelia at Atticus's place. Stu laments the cock cage, Charlie doesn't even know what that is, and Stu starts going into vivid detail about how a penis is trapped in its flaccid state, until Hank interrupts. Neither Charlie nor Stu nor Atticus likes Hank's dark approach to writing a Broadway musical. Atticus thinks its bollockd and tosses the script at him. No longer enthralled with his original work either, now that he has actually read it. Previously he had only judged it by its title. They insist on a rewrite.
Stu is just as desperate to win back Marcie. He even offers to bribe Charlie not to see her anymore. They decide to join forces against the cock-blocker. What better way than to lure 'the little stoner chick' out than with a stash of weed?
Hank is off to see Faith (she with the longest legs in Hollywood, Maggie Grace) and she is reclining alongside the pool, strumming her guitar. He explains that the product of their fusion has not been well received, people are calling it a 'creative miscarriage' and she will take a look at it, for that's no way to treat their 'love-baby'. They embrace in the pool.
Marcie discovers that the promise of weed was just a ruse. The two men in her life, professing their love, try to intervene in her relationship with mean-spirited Ophelia. It comes to light that Stu is still wearing the cock cage, unable to take it off, excruciating, but the ol' witch holds the key.
Faith, gracefully in the nude, her long legs as smooth as mirror surfaces, is Intently perusing the script post-coitally, she gently informs him, in her graceful magical way, that she can see that he was being too intent on his own ways to come down to the level of a fluffy musical, posturing, and that the end product is unfortunately heartless, while he should have realized that it is a boy-meets-girl story that needed way more, because she knows, he's got a very big... (as we all know)... heart. Her soft approach gets through to him. "Anyone can be cynical, Hank. Dare to be an optimist.."
In the bar, Ophelia arrives. She is tracking Marcie, having gained access to her GPS on her cellphone by deftly observing Marcie's keystrokes and gaining her password,Ilovemyhubbysbigfatcock. (Hello! Stalker!) Which alerted the manhater that there was work to be done. Stu is damned proud that the reference to his prowess is still in place, but Marcie responds that she was simply too lazy to change it. Ophelia has an attitude of 'men are a m-e-n-i-s to society'. The slightest protest from Charlie, and she zaps him with her stun gun. He falls back onto the pool table. Stu tries stopping her, and she aims it between his legs, and considering the torturous steel device, that must hurt x100. Charlie has wet himself, and Marcie stays behind to assist, foiling nasty Ophelia's every intent.
Hank finds Becca burning her manuscript and intends to add his own, but decides she could take a look at it first. The father&daughter relationship from her story, which sounded familiar, could just be fleshed out and maybe turn out to be a novella. He echoes Faith's advice. "Anybody can be cynical. Dare to be an optimist."
