Meanwhile, Javier (Brian Jordan Alvarez) and Harry (Lance Bass) attend a party where Liberace is performing.
As Mel deals with his girlfriend Carol (Missi Pyle) constantly leaving him, a film director who may be making an afult picture arrives at the Ingleside Inn.

After being alerted that that they do not have permission to put on the show, a cast of drag queens arrive and attempt to save the big night.

Now, Mel and his team have to figure out a way to get Liz off of the property and to a new location while the hordes of crowds clamor to catch...
