At the bookstore, Joe learns that Calvin was wrong. The woman who came in did not have a copy of the novel, Portnoy’s Complaint, but rather a screenplay of the film adaptation. After they argue about the difference, Calvin gives him an iPad to watch a video from a celebrity named Henderson. Henderson has a web show called F@#K Narcissism. On the video, Henderson is describing a woman who sounds like Amy. She likes blueberries and has a lot of pubic hair, two things Joe always fixated on. Henderson refers to her as “Amy baby” (73). Calvin says Henderson lives in the hills and has Friday night parties. Joe gets the password to the party from Delilah and agrees to meet her later.
At a hardware store, Joe buys rope, duct tape, gloves, and zip ties, before riding to the party with Calvin and two of his friends. They make it inside with the password. Joe surveys the house and it annoys him that Amy lives in such finery. Henderson appears and says his girlfriend won’t be there because she is visiting her mother. Then Henderson takes a microphone and asks to work on a comedic bit for the room.
