Her son is getting bullied at school as people come to know about her as a porn star. The second episode begins with Jolene observing her online porn content with Maggie, her colleague. Soon, she receives a call from her son’s school, and she gets worried about him. Her agent, Caroline, provides her with some advice on how to manage the situation with her son's school. She tells Jolene to distance herself from her past life as a porn star and stop attending porn awards.

As Jolene prepares to leave the house for a meeting, her husband Eddie asks her if she knows about their daughter's homework. Jolene gets upset and reminds Eddie how much busier she is than him. Later, Jolene visits the school and sees her son, who is upset and angry with her.

However, things take a turn for the worse when Jolene discovers that her ex-boyfriend, Aaron, the father of her son, has told her son's school about her porn career. She immediately confronts him, and while Aaron denies the allegations, it is evident that he has a grudge against Jolene. The scene highlights the harsh reality of the porn industry, which can have personal repercussions even when people leave the industry.

Meanwhile, Jolene's colleague and friend, Maggie, is facing marital problems after discovering her husband has been cheating on her. As a result, Maggie has turned to drugs, making her erratic, and on edge. She is seen snorting cocaine in the bathroom shortly before they perform in a live show.
