Rock Follies S01E04 · The Talking Pictures

Overview

After touring comes to an end, little progress has been made. The girls' various affairs create significant fallout with their established partners, and a fair amount of hypocrisy on their partners' parts is exposed. Finances are all but gone, so through a contact of Q's, the girls end up performing in a softcore porn film. In the meantime, Q's partner Carl has gone through a huge transformation from lazy layabout to cutthroat businessman; this is due to his meeting Greek entrepreneur Stavros, who has decided to manufacture his surfboard design. Carl talks the girls into meeting Stavros, who he thinks may be the answer to their financial problems. Anna's boyfriend Jack is discovered in bed with one of Dee's commune girls.
