Mira will play the lead after the Silver Surfer dies!
Rene, the director, is consulting with his insurance company for a second opinion. Rene’s antisocial nature makes it challenging to find someone to insure him and the film. He is deemed suitable for the position of Irma Vep. Mira is informed by Zoe, who works in wardrobe, that Rene has found a new insurance company. Then, Mira is relieved that she will not have to return to Los Angeles. Mira tells Zoe how her friendship with Laurie helped her get over Eamonn. However, her relationship with Laurie was a disaster.
A Fight Ensues

Carla is on her way to get Gottfried from the train station. He explains that he had to flush his crack stash when he saw the Customs Officers, and she noticed that he was not looking well. He’s been clean for 24 hours, and if Carla doesn’t score for him, he promises he won’t act and will jump off the roof. Zoe is unappreciated and fights for even a smidgeon of respect. Mira is in character as Irma Vep and on set.
Another Argument
