Storyline

A mute Karen doesn't want to bail Hank out of jail. Becca promises him to try to change her mind. In jail, Hank meets Lew Ashby, a record producer who really wants Hank to write his biography. After he was hard on Mia because she stole Hank's book, Dani gives Charlie a mean piece of her mind and goes to his boss and gets him fired. At home, a shattered Charlie wants to talk with Marcy, who has snorted quite some cocaine and isn't able to hold a sensible conversation. Written by Marco van Hoof <k_luifje7@hotmail.com>
