Frankie asks Grace for help with Rich, but is stopped in her tacks by Mini. Grace follows Mini and Liv out the door as if the night at the pool never existed. Grace was not tiring to be two-faced or phony toward Frankie, but after all she has been friends with Liv and Mini much longer. She just doesn't want to piss anyone off.

Grace finds Rich and talks him into letting her help him with the angel of death, a.k.a the metal head at the library. Rich takes Graces to the metal music store for a taste of the metal head ways Above the shop owner's head is the legendary golden record that is said to be so deep that to some people it sounds like nothing but white noise.
