Hunter announces that she's getting married in two days to a guy she met the day before--Dweezil Zappa. Wedding party members include maid of honor Marcy and bridesmaid-for-hire Elizabeth Berkley. Meanwhile, Marcy and Dave make a love connection.
Jason Priestley sponsors the latest member of Sex Addicts Anonymous--Quentin. Marcy frets over a phone-in campaign to kill her character.
Dave prepares to break up with Hunter, who only makes things more difficult for him.
While Hunter and Dave embark on an intimate but decidedly unromantic relationship, Marcy embraces her Jewish heritage--and a nice Jewish guy with it. A denial-ridden Quentin is obsessed with his impending birthday.
A magazine publishes nude photos of Courtney without her permission, causing a big hubbub among the cast and crew. Meanwhile, Dave prepares to tell Marcy how he really feels about her.
After making a big stink on the set, Hunter takes out a restraining order against Quentin; Courtney does a Japanese commercial, not realizing what her overseas nickname is; a studly guest star sets his sights on Marcy.
Hunter and Courtney vie for the attention of Hunter's ex-boyfriend Jonah, who's on the set to direct an episode, while Dave and Marcy realize they have something in common--their underwear.
Courtney's hotshot boyfriend causes a stir on the set, and Johnny has to go out with the winner of a fan contest, who turns out to be a 14-year-old boy.
Cast and crew revolt when the new producer aims to shoot a graphic sex scene. Protesters include Marcy, who says she's too inexperienced; Johnny, who hates being nearly naked most of the time; and fellow producer Rob, who decides to take action.
Tabloid rumors that Helena and Quentin are romantically involved send Hunter fuming--primarily because the rumors are true. Johnny's movie premiere provides an excellent opportunity for the cast to steal some spotlights.
After recovering from an accident on the set, Marcy finally finds her own hot guy when the girls take her out clubbing. Meanwhile, Dave has to find another place to live when Johnny throws him out of the trailer.
Hunter gets an audition for an Oliver Stone movie but is hesitant when she learns she may have to gain weight to get the part. When she balks, Courtney tells her a real actress would put on the pounds, and Marcy offers to help her beef up. Meanwhile, Dave snags the movie script and makes copies to auction on the Internet.
Hunter freaks when next week's script calls for her character's boyfriend, played by Quentin, to kiss Courtney's character. She asks the producers to stop the story line and tries to get Quentin to support her case. But when both rebuff her, she decides to spread a rumor about Quentin. Meanwhile, Marcy throws a party to lure Johnny into spending time with her.
Hunter talks a reluctant Marcy into helping her sabotage Courtney's scenes by making faces at her out of camera range. Hunter's ploy backfires, however, when the unsuspecting producers call her on the carpet about her less-than-legal off-duty habit.
