Otis arrives at the club as the calendars are being delivered, but when he opens one, he discovers that he isn’t one of the featured men.

Nick travels to New York City, where he pitches his idea of ‘US Male’ to some old friends who deem it sleazy.

The Chippendales dancers have a signing at a local mall, where Otis confronts Steve over being left out of the calendar. Steve tells him it’s just business and not personal, as he thinks a black man in the calendar would be bad for sales.

Nick meets a man at a bar, and post hook up, they discuss bringing Chippendales to New York, with Bradford revealing himself to be rich. Nick then calls Denise about the idea, but she’s not interested.

Steve tells Irene that he bought the printing press that makes the calendars after learning that it would take them weeks to produce more calendars. Later, Steve attempts to take Irene to a posh eatery but faces discrimination from the front desk.

Nick returns to Chippendales and tells Steve they’re opening up a New York Chippendales, or he will open up a rival club. Steve agrees but tells Irene that it was his idea to open the New York branch of the brand.

Otis attempts to make his own calendar with Ray’s help, but Steve shuts it down. Otis then quits.

Later, Ray pledges his allegiance and loyalty to Steve.
