Backbone. Hatch and Mark are going to the prop and furniture house. They realize their gay theme could go good. Or not. And Mark's concerned about Busey being the grandpa, because it will be hard to rein in his crazy. The rest of Backbone is at casting, where they'll write, direct, and shoot the video. Lil Jon and Meat Loaf are working together to set up and direct the video, but Busey keeps interrupting, in character. He's totally Method. Meat Loaf and Lil Jon are losing their patience, especially Meat Loaf, who tells us that Busey has no consideration for other people's space. Cut to Lil Jon and Meat Loaf trying to talk as Busey runs up and touches both of them to ask a totally pointless question. Lil Jon says Busey can get distracting, but with people like him you have to learn to listen but not let them take you away from what you're doing. They have a bit of a spat, though I'm not sure Busey gets that they're arguing.
ASAP arrives at the studio to audition their supplemental actors. Nene's the video director and Marlee's assistant director. Marlee's stressed out that Hope and Dionne aren't there with props yet, because lighting can't set up until the furniture is here. The lighting guys ask what's up, and Marlee promises them Dionne and Hope are almost here. Cut to slow, slow, slow Hope and Dionne just shopping around, having fun. Nene calls Hope, who tells her they're about to leave the prop house. La Toya, whose job is to keep the time, is worried that they're running against the clock. Nene tells Marlee and Star that no one else on this team has any skills, so they're the only two people she can count on. Marlee and Star agree completely, even later in their interviews.
Backbone. Jose's getting dolled up to be the gay boyfriend of Busey's grandson. Hatch has to let them know what it looks like to be gay because he's the only gay guy. Hatch is sort of in love with Jose all gayed up, which is hilarious considering how much they hated each other in Week One. When the props arrive, Lil Jon hates the purple couch that Mark and Hatch brought back for the grandpa, because no grandma in the world would have a purple couch. Mark thinks it's pink, and his grandma has a pink couch. Anyway, too late, and WHO CARES? ASAP's prop crew finally arrives back, too, and Dionne gets all pissy when Marlee wants to help her put the props in place. What's weird about Dionne, though, is that she yells at Marlee's interpreter, Jack, instead of at Marlee. Nene interviews about how feisty and bitchy Dionne is.
