Back to the sub-plot. Rick James is giving another one of his endless supply of passionate, "You go girl!" speeches, telling the Stripper that these four months are all about shaking hands and making it happen. "I'm trying," Stripper whines back, as she pauses to light a cigarette. And also reminds us once again that she's a lazy ass who doesn't want to waste time figuring out how to get her career started. If Stripper put as much effort into doing something as she does into reminding us that she knows she's a lazy ass, well, something would get done. Simple as that.

Rick James tells Stripper that her voice is "sick" and that it brings him to tears. Rick James is so supportive. And then we see Stripper and Goody hanging on Hollywood Blvd. Stripper is dressed to work that boulevard indeed, in shorts that look like underwear. Turns out she's there to work Hollywood and Highland as a singer, so people will hear her voice. After they see the cameras already filming her. Now she's getting it!

And you know, perhaps she really is cutting back on the smoking, cause her voice sounds pretty damn good! "Tryin' to make it," she tells her audience with a cute shrug, "Gotta start somewhere!" She makes some money. And then gives Goody her cut.

And I hope that $2 is keeping Goody warm, cause all Meat's giving her is the cold shoulder. She's not sure why. I feel a little bad for Goody, yeah she's annoying as hell, but she was the only one of them who stood by him not getting drunk. She complains to her boyfriend, Mopey Ryan. She feels like she's been slapped in the face. Mopey tells her to try and do the right thing, but with boundaries. Actually Mopey, that's very good advice.

Nice ass voice.

The next day, Meat opens the temporary fencing to greet Molly who is an actress. And a photographer! She also performs at the IO West, and he's invited her over to do his headshots. Which he has turned out for in a signature white wifebeater tee - clearly gearing toward those career-making Thug roles, but hey, like Stripper says, gotta start somewhere!

It's all an excuse for Meat to further lament his situation in the house though, with Molly in the role of counselor. More anxiety talk ensues. But the photo shoot is good, Meat looks good and Molly actually looks like she knows what she's doing. When it's over, Meat - having unsuccessfully sucked her into his web of helplessness with his trapped-in-the-Real-World house tale of woe - tries again with a declaration (mid headshot shoot, mind you) that he used to want to be an actor, but now he doesn't think he does anymore.

Oh, he's only always wanted to be an actor, since he was a little kid, he informs Molly. But now, he's scared to fail. "If everybody felt like that, there would be no one left in this town," Molly laughs, "Everyone's a failure here!" Loves Molly. But it wasn't the inflatable ego raft that Meat was looking for, so he just looks down at the ground. Molly's been here for five years, and she hasn't made any money from acting, she tells Meat cheerfully. That's some consolation. But it does make Meat laugh a little bit.

If you get sick of Ramen Noodles, just add tabasco! YAY!

And that night, he wants to have a house meeting to read the group his "goodbye letter" - cause after Friday, he's making a decision on whether to go home or not. Finally. "I'd like to hear it, Joey," Goody eagerly chimes in. "It doesn't seem like anyone cares," Meat dejectedly tells the camera.

Goody passes the word on to her secret lover, Rick James, now in a hemp ski cap. And she's mad that now Meathead wants to go home. "I went out on a limb for him," she complains. You did? How? By not going out every night, when you never went out anyway? Seriously though, she did show a lot of concern for him. Rick James chalks it all up to miscommunication.
