Mumble Jumble

Rick drags an unwilling Gigi to dinner with a famous director where a grave misunderstanding seems to be the main course. Gigi, whose role as Princess Zethronon has had her seated on a block of ice for hours on end, is ill and less than thrilled to accompany Rick to dinner with A Tale of Two Seamen director Pedro Davidd. The acclaimed director wants to ensure Rick will be able to play a convincing gay man. Pedro mumbles his way through the dinner and they leave “with an understanding” though neither Gigi or Rick understood everything Pedro said. The following day Gigi has taken to her bed when Pedro drops by her home. When he comes out of her bathroom naked, Gigi is quick to explain she could never betray her ‘boyfriend’ Rick, but soon costs Rick the starring role when she accuses the sensitive Pedro of mumbling. Livid, Rick is forced to take matters into his own hands to win it back. Stella sees some nudity of her own when Detective Ronaldson pays an off-duty visit bearing flowers. Getting to know one another over a glass of wine soon turns into “the hottest date ever,” as she tells Gigi the following day. And Roxy, convinced she’s pregnant with Paul’s baby, shares the news with Livia who is at a producers’ conference in Telluride. Crushed, Livia drowns her sorrows in drink and ends up in a tryst.
