Chloe and June Renew Their Friendship – Shitagi Nashi Episode

June is elated to be able to hang out with the coolest girl in the world. The only problem is, she has to be able to do shots to the point where you need to have your stomach pumped for alcohol poisoning. Robin let’s June know that she can’t drink for the next six months which will make it hard to party with Chloe who is apparently a hero to a lot of Japanese comic book fans. She notices that they constantly come up to her to say “shitagi nashi.”  The term comes from a novel in which Chloe is the main character called Tall Slut, No Panties.

June begins to worry about her cool image fading due to her inability to down shots rapidly one after the other. She is relieved to find out that Chloe has a hidden stack of novels as she has previously claimed not to have any such association with the whole shitagi nashi craze to be cool. June shows Chloe her own comic book called the Adventures of Trina and Sissy. Well, it’s not really a comic book, only handwritten stories in a notebook, but Chloe sets the writings on fire.

June thinks that she and Chloe may just have more in common than drinking as she decides to invite her to go bowling. Somehow, they end up at a club where June meets the creator of Tall Slut, No Panties, Patrick Kelly. He just happens to be the hot roommate of a guy that Chloe dates sometimes. Patrick watches her from the distance when she goes out with his buddy.  June realizes that she is doing the same thing with Chloe.

Chloe is furious when Patrick does a new graphic novel called Strong Bowling Girl Talks a Lot. The story is about a hero who goes around Manhattan bowling and giving people pep talks. Chloe is so upset about the demise of her character that she actually starts wearing panties again. James says that Chloe is just worried about being a thing of the past, the reason the graphic novel was so important to her.

June then writes a new issue of Trina and Sissy with a special character in it called Tall Slut, No Panties. She tells Chloe she can burn it if she wishes but that won’t happen. Chloe tells her she will keep it in case she needs to wrap a fish or something. She tells June that the two of them don’t need to have things in common to be friends as she removes her panties so she can breathe again.

Meanwhile, James is beside himself since Luther got first pick of the dressing rooms for the New York rehearsals of Dancing with the Stars. His excitement is blown away when he hears that Dean Cain’s dressing room has an extra third of a ceiling tile. He’s made his first mistake as an assistant and tries to make it up to James by trying to con Cain out of his room.  It doesn’t work and Luther now thinks his job may be in jeopardy, but James has an idea. He breaks the wall leading into Fred Savage’s dressing room to give him more space.
