Jamie's nervous. It's her first time working with legendary vérité fetish-porn auteur "Billy." She has some reservations. She has a condition. She has a niche. She's worried. Grady's a "Billy" veteran with the scars to prove it. He'll try to make her comfortable. He might be falling in love--and that might be a problem. Who knows what he'll be asked to do in the room at the end of the pitch black hall?

Like with like interesting scenarios and everything? With the news? And he requested me. Personally. And I’m like: that’s great that sounds great. And it’s a little more money and everything and I’m like: but Boyd he knows what I do, right? He’s not gonna. Like. Ask me to do anything. I don’t wanna do. And he just says: you’re gonna wanna do whatever he tells you. But that’s not like an answer or anything and I know that and I’m a little worried.
