Episode 6 starts with the ever-frantic Bret Wolfe vacuuming the pool deck before 7:00 a.m., much to the chagrin of the residents. It seems the Jett Laboratories energy pills he took back in Episode 4 are finally kicking in. How will these mysterious drugs affect the denizens of Wet Palms?
Brad goes back to work on his Jett Laboratories case, but boyfriend Jason Ridge accuses Brad of an infidelity with Michael Soldier, which of course Brad denies (even though he was blackmailed into it for Jason's sake). When Jason starts to remember the photos that caused the whole scene, he backs down. Brad doesn't need to know about those!
In another room, Jason Adonis isn't quite ready to turn over the solo porn video Rod Barry did, a tape Rod is getting in exchange for helping Jason in his quest to bring down the Jetts. Ethan's calls to Jason Ridge, where he hangs up whenever Brad answers, are annoying Jason. "As long as you're a Bubble model, I have the rights to your ass, runway or otherwise," Ethan snaps. Ethan gloats about Gabriel getting the model spot, but he also sets in motion an angry Jason's desire to confront nefarious Michael Soldier. And poor Bret is running out of energy pills.
Brothers Michael Soldier and Zak Spears have decided to take control of Wet Palms. Bret sputters that they can't do that because their other brother, Gus Mattox, is the true owner. Looks like Bret will be out of a job and Wet Palms as it is known will cease to exist.
Back in Jason Adonis' room, Jason informs Rod he's been obsessed with his straight ass ever since seeing the video. Since Jason holds all the cards and wants Rod's "cherry ass," Rod has no choice but to submit. "Go slow," sighs a resigned Rod. Golden boy Jason then strikes a majestic pose, unleashing his cock and ass from his shorts and Rod gets busy blowing him. Rod goes a mile a minute delivering the blowjob as Jason pinches his nipples in abject heat from the wonderful blowjob he's getting. Tattooed Rod isn't known for playing the bitch in too many porn scenes, but he really does great work here, giving Jason a thrilling blowjob. Jason counters by sucking Rod's cock so far he gags and drools buckets of saliva. Jason works his absolute hardest in rattling off a sensational deep-throat. Whether working in a 69 or solo, both of these guys are cock-mad for each other. With Rod reminding Jason to go slow, Jason indeed carefully slides his dick into Rod's ass. Rod probably likes it more than expected, remaining hard and jacking off as Jason suddenly tears off into a mean-spirited lusty fuck. Planting his massive arms on the bed outside of Rod, this titan slams at Rod with all the command he can muster and it's a superb fuck. Rod roars in character, but Jason only goes faster and harder, his hips swiveling as fast as possible to get in Rod deeply. Jason demands that Rod spit in his face and the exchanged volleys are mighty hot. However, that's just icing on Jason's gigantic shattering double fudge seven layer cake of a fuck. For his part, Rod plays the part in character, detesting the fuck he's getting, but as Rod Barry, he seems to be having the time of his life. When Jason assaults Rod doggy, he somehow works up the energy to go even faster. Just watch how powerfully he sends the fuck into Rod using just his thighs. He's on fire. His massive shot all over Rod's body is a testament to the work he's done. Amazingly, Rod's shot tops it.
Bret is down to his last energy pill, and it comes at the worst time since he's about to lose his job. Gabriel helps calm him down, even assuring him that he doesn't want Jason Ridge's job. Actually, only a new shipment of pills can soothe Bret, who violently calls the company to find out how to get more.
The complex relationship between Jason Ridge and Ethan Marc comes to a head as Jason announces he's leaving Bubble and L.A. "A john is a john, whether he be in a trench coat or a Prada suit," Ethan snaps as Jason tries to free himself of Ethan's jealous paying clutches.
Just as Bret is at his worst, Michael shows up with a new bottle of Jett Fuel for Bret! Michael needs Bret to spy on brother Gus when he returns in order to pull off his coup and "restore [his] ancestral home to its former glory." Turning Wet Palms into anything resembling that is going to take a wrecking ball and Extreme Home Makeover, but Bret has to agree, to get the drugs. Michael insists on finalizing the deal with Bret, who is desperate enough to have sex with the detestable Michael. This man is so evil he rattles the bottle of pills inches away from Bret's face as Bret is busy sucking him off. "Fuck you!" Bret whispers as he's blowing, but that only goads Michael into a more domineering stance as owner of the cock. Michael plays this role to the hilt, not letting Bret even breathe. Michael slowly undresses to his hairy body, still feeding energized Bret his cock. Bret may have been forced into this blowjob, but that doesn't stop him from doing his finest in sucking. Michael, however, declares it's only worth two pills and wants Bret to do more for the rest. In a perilous moment, Bret undresses and is pushed down hard on the couch, butt poked out to Michael's probing fingers. Michael takes his hairy face to Bret's ass, but he isn't nice about it. He pokes and chews hard. Like Rod before him, Bret has to pretend not to like this, despite the intense exciting work being done by Michael. Michael is at his workaholic best here, but it's clear by his calculating eyes that he's also saving up for what is to come next. That would be a ripping fuck of Bret. The last time Michael had a sex scene in "Wet Palms," it was to ravage Brad Benton almost black and blue in Episode 3, and he hasn't lost any spark three episodes later. He is in a less petulant mood here, but he gives Bret the same kind of punishing workout. He's working with a master bottom, and Bret takes the slicking deep-set fuck with regal bottoming focus. Michael is a growling insatiable top, but Bret meets him at that level, which make all three of their positions winners. When Michael finishes, he dumps the load in his condom on Bret and follows it with the energy pills Bret needs so badly.
Jason Ridge literally pushes Ethan out of his apartment, intent on jetting off to Milan for the spring shows. Brad enters seconds later, hyped up with what he's learned about Jett Laboratories, but it's time for a confrontation about Brad's dalliance with Michael. Brad explains that he slept with Michael to save Jason's job, but Jason isn't listening. "You're worse than Simon [Michael]. At least he doesn't pretend to care."
Things end on a series of howling melodramatic notes when Bret's mirror image reveals something quite shocking, followed by Jason Ridge's trip to the pool at Wet Palms to tell Michael he's leaving. A visibly shocked Michael retaliates with the harshest weapon in his arsenal: "For whatever it's worth, your boyfriend was a great fuck!" Jason clocks him and sends him sprawling into the pool. Even Will Clark can't take the drama and goes dashing out with his luggage.
"Finally, home at last," Gus Mattox says upon entrance. The three brothers (this is a family tree I want in on -- Michael Soldier, Zak Spears and now Gus Mattox!) have a tense reunion, with Gus ending it on a cliffhanger note.
Who will retain control of Wet Palms? Will Gus' apparent nice-guy demeanor counter his harpy brothers? Will Jason trip going down a runway in Milan?
DVD features (Disc 3): Disc index at a glance; episode 5 review, episode 6 summary; chapters jumping directly to the sex; previews for episodes 7-9; glamour and behind the scenes galleries; internet tours and trailers ("The Hole," "American Porn Star," "The Fuk Club," "Dick Day Afternoon," "Carnal Haze" and "Desert Pick-Up 2"); and no regional coding (playable worldwide).
The addition of superstars like Jason Adonis and Gus Mattox don't dilute "Wet Palms" one bit. They take their place alongside the spirited performances of pros like Brad Benton and Bret Wolfe without disrupting the flow at all. This is natural for soap operas. After all, adding Joan Collins to "Dynasty" made it even better! In fact, Jason Adonis gives one of his finest sexual performances ever in a scene that finds Rod Barry doing the same. Even Jason Ridge and Brad Benton, who never give less than jaw-dropping sexual performances, are at their ultimate here. If Bret Wolfe gets to steal the plot scenes in this trio of episodes right out from under everyone, the sex is balanced among the sterling cast with great care by the writers and director. The previews for Episodes 7-9 look as though things will only get nastier.
