Premise[]

Al and Darius walk around Amsterdam. Psssh, I could make a way better tv show than this.

Plot[]

In Amsterdam, Earn meets with Alfred and Darius at a coffee shop. Earn gives them passes for a spa session and both Alfred and Darius leave to spend the day there. While heading to the spa, Alfred notes a man with a blanket outside a doorway.

After consuming space cakes, Alfred and Darius separate at a red-light district. Alfred flees from a group of fans who recognize him, hiding in an undisclosed location. He inspects the building and finds a woman crying. When he asks her what is happening, he realizes they are in an acting performance. As he continues exploring, he finds himself in an art gallery. He has a conversation with a woman named Lorraine, who criticizes most of Alfred's personality but catches Alfred's attention.

As night surprisingly falls quickly, Lorraine takes Alfred with her friends to a club named "Cancel Club", where Alfred is nicknamed "New Jazz". He feels uncomfortable when her friends question his possible relationship with Lorraine and leaves their table. At the bar counter, he meets Liam Neeson, who recounts one of his scandals involving a race-related issue. Neeson surprises Alfred by stating that he doesn't like black people for nearly ruining his career and considers them "mortal enemies", claiming he doesn't have to learn anything if he doesn't want to before leaving the club. Lorraine then takes Alfred out of the club just as the presenter introduces him.

As Lorraine and Alfred leave, the night turned into day pretty quickly. Alfred decides he had enough and starts leaving, while Lorraine states she wanted to show his truths throughout the day, calling out his friends and family. Suddenly, the cakes start taking effect and Alfred collapses in a doorway and Lorraine leaves him with a blanket. Just then, Darius and Alfred walk past him, reminiscent of the scene at the beginning. He then loses consciousness. Later, Alfred wakes up in his hotel room with Earn by his side, who found him in the streets. When Alfred asks about Lorraine, Earn says "your mom?", prompting Alfred to change the subject.

As Earn is about to leave, Alfred asks him about the ownership of his masters and Earn says that Alfred himself owns them. Earn leaves while Alfred stays to rest.
