The next stop on Dugmor’s “porn tour” is Lake Havesu, Arizona. Together with Jay Scott and Uncle D, they pack Dugmor’s van and hit the road. Dugmor still has Karen on his mind and is finding it impossible to get in touch with her. On the lake, the boys rent a boat and jump into action. There are hundreds of people there, all ready for decadent play. It’s sensory overkill for the boys, and particularly disturbing to Uncle D. While Dugmor questions whether or not Karen is intentionally ignoring his telephone messages, Uncle D has had enough of the debauchery and sneaks away in the middle of the night.

Malezia returns from Los Angeles to the suburbs of Montreal, and her first stop is her Mom’s place. She pulls up to their farm in a stretch limo, still glowing from her experience with Vivid. With Dugmor on the road, Malezia is going to have to work with his associate, MGH. At the best of times she has a testy relationship with MGH, but it all comes to a head when she misses a scheduled promotional appearance at a rock concert he’s arranged. With Dugmor on the road, Malezia is on her own.

Laurelle is settling into her job as a webcam girl at 2Much; she appears very comfortable in front of the camera. Her relationship with Dallas is slightly more complicated: although they’ve moved into separate apartments, they still occasionally see each other. Dallas, once very much supportive of her decision to work as a webcam girl, is now not so crazy about it. He feels the job is taking over her life, and he criticizes her for taking work home and spending all her free time emailing her clients. When Laurelle invites Dallas to a 2Much.net costume party and catches him in a bathroom stall with another girl, it’s more than she can take. She may love him, but now she knows she can never be with him.
