After rehearsal for Somerville Melodramas’ over-the-top show “A Ship of Fools,” actress Maddie returns backstage to retrieve forgotten items and is approached by the director, Will (William Jeffrey Throckmorton), whom she dislikes for ghosting her after they previously hooked up. Will awkwardly tries to bring up their past and then seeks praise for a large stretching-rack prop he built. Maddie uses the moment to flirt, lures him to the rack, restrains him with strong knots anchored to heavier set pieces, and asserts control in a sexual roleplay. She teases and pleasures herself while denying him release, culminating in her orgasm using a prop banana while Will remains trapped and frustrated. Maddie dresses, tells him to stop being an asshole, loosens one knot so he can free himself, and leaves, saying she’ll see him at rehearsal tomorrow.

Later, while changing in the pool house, Nick is confronted by the same scented, commanding partner who blindfolds him again, teases him, and performs oral sex before revealing herself as Sang, a usually shy South Korean company dancer.

The script ends with Mila and Ty asking listeners for ratings and story ideas via email.
