Jamie (Ellie Brigida), the owner of the Flame, everyone's favorite LGBTQ bar, is having a rough day. It's the anniversary of when her proposal was rejected by her ex-girlfriend Rachel (Chilina Kennedy) and all she wants to do is marathon Buffy Season Six.

There's Jo (Jenn Colella), the divorce attorney who sleeps with most of her clients, Bridget (Vico Ortiz), who's always looking for new trivia team members and Jessica and Ashley (Liz Mongrello and Dana Piccoli) who just got back from their honeymoon and brought a postcard for the wall.
