Everything is set for the first performance in front of an audience. It is a test run, no television cameras or broadcast just yet. Ruth and Debbie get some help preparing for the big day from Carmen's brothers. They work on their moves and really step up their game.
Sam's camera is still missing. He threatens to fire the person who stole it if it doesn't get returned. He also threatens to fire the person who stole it if it does get returned. He has no clue who stole it. Justine puts the camera in Rhonda's locker. Rhonda uses it to record a video of herself "speak-singing" a theme song for the show. She shows it to Sam but he doesn't get very excited.
The big day comes. They have a small crowd of spectators. Not everything goes as planned or as Sam scripted it. Carmen has a panic attack and faints without even stepping in the ring. Cherry and Tammé talk their opponents into flipping things around and coming out dressed up in hoods, like they are with the KKK. Debbie and Ruth's match goes great until Debbie spots Mark, her husband, in the audience and runs out of the ring to talk to him. That's doesn't go well. Rhonda saves the end of the show from being a complete disaster by stepping in and singing her song. The other women of GLOW jump in and join her.
I really enjoyed this episode throughout. It was a great mix of humor and pathos. Lots of moments that made me laugh and moved me. Debbie's character has become much more three dimensional since the beginning of the season when it felt like GLOW was for the most part about Ruth.
