Terry dresses down her Missiles of October bandmates and then tries to break up Hopey and Maggie by talking trash about the latter.

Jesus, in an island prison, fantasizes constantly about the women in his life all the while dealing with the reality of his incarceration. A follow-up to The Laughing Sun story from issues eight and nine.

A flashback story taking place during Rena's younger days. Rena, on foot, chases Sharkey in the desert for stealing and beating up Rosie. They're met with law enforcement officer Bull Marie, who puts Sharkey in her paddy wagon and punches out Rena, leaving her stranded, unconscious. She's found by Duke and Bernie, the latter who later takes her out on a date. Later on, Rena and Rosie confront Sharkey near the Mexican border after finding out he's been released from jail.
