House. Tyler sticks leaves into Styrofoam. John and Paula like how it looks. John plays the guitar. The phone rings. Paula gets it. It's a snotty-sounding Svet. Paula babbles to us that it must be hard to lose a parent. Paula needs a ride from the airport. Wow, what an exciting scene that was. Maybe next they could show us a print-out of Paula's Travelocity page.
Twinkley music. Photos of Svet and Martin. Paula paints something for the float. John reads about a new hurricane (Wilma) in the gulf. They joke about hurricane names. Hacks! Get some new material. (But still hew close to the essence of what happened.) Commercials.
The scummiest gym of all time. Janelle and John and Zach and Jose work out, lifting dangerous weights as "cute" music plays with the lyrics, "Well I've been heading out to the gym every day. Been working out for a while. I'm in such great shape." Oh, lord. More working out. More acquiring of diseases from the equipment. In the FORD! afterwards, sweaty Janelle brats that she can't wait to get out of her clothes, and John offers to take her pants off her for. He then laughs, smiling proudly like he shit in the bowl for the first time. They have a bad, flirty conversation about sweaty-clothes-removal and it's very boring. Janelle camera-snots that John is coming from a sexual perspective and making it clear that he'd like to get physical, but she doesn't need a guy right now. "Sorry," she tells us. "No."
Key West. Airport. Plane. Jose picks Svet up. They hug. "[Martin's] dad passed," says Svet. "Wow," responds Jose. They drive. She didn't expect it to be this painful. Svet says that her heart crumbled because Martin never expresses his feelings and for him to actually verbalize them as he did, he was clearly devastated. She thinks that the two of them got over a huge mountain this weekend.
Salon. Zach and Jose talk on a videophone about their paltry sales that day. Then Jose reveals that Wilma is indeed now a hurricane and it's suppose to hit Key West that weekend during Fantasy Fest. D'oh!
Winds. Clouds. Sky. Night. House. The kids get ready. John, popping a collar like he's trying out for a Jose-look-a-like-contest, informs the others that the place they're heading is getting rid of all their seafood in anticipation of Wilma, so they're going to go there and eat discount fish and drink discount beer. They stand around and drink DIET PEPSI! getting ready. John and Janelle hug for no reason. They catch a cab.
