A 1990s girl group that managed to score only one hit gets an unexpected chance at a comeback when their song is sampled by an up-and-coming rapper.

"Bomont"

Gloria worries about the lack of lesbians in their next stop, a town in the Ozarks. While at an ultrasound, Dawn gets the attention of conservative, pro-life state senator Chuck Dennis, who is revealed to own their upcoming performance venues. Meanwhile, Summer has a fling with a biker and styles herself a biker chick, before realizing she needs to develop her own identity. Wickie and Dawn initially agree to placate Chuck by performing John Cougar Mellencamp covers instead of their setlist, but are eventually convinced by Summer and Gloria to perform "Big Pussy Energy". Chuck evicts the women and the subsequent stops are cancelled.

"Cleveland"

While in Cleveland, Ohio, the other members of Girls5eva realize that Gloria has befriended world-famous pop star Gray Holland. Gray, who is tired of his fame, elects to perform with Girls5eva and hangs out at their motel room afterwards. The women attempt to invite him to perform at Radio City Music Hall with them, but he angrily reprimands them for using him as a shortcut to fame. To help him, Gloria fakes Gray's death by switching his teeth out with that of a fox that died in her care; this causes a boycott of their tour from Gray's enraged fans. Gray is seen happily performing at a Canadian dive bar with his fox-toothed mouth.

"New York"

Two days before their Radio City Music Hall performance, the group has sold no tickets and has begun souring on each other. Wickie attempts to sell their documentary to a streamer, but pivots to faking a true crime documentary with Percy as the murderer. Dawn meets Richard Kind, who encourages her to seek moderate fame. Gloria thinks that Caroline is her soulmate but learns that she has moved on. Summer manipulates resale bots to sell out Radio City. The group performs for their friends and family. Dawn gives birth and names the baby Lesley, after Wickie. Wickie's song "Yesternights" plays on the fictional finale of The Crown, and due to this newfound fame, is offered the chance to contribute to the soundtrack of a film.
