Wet Palms 5 - Complete Storylines

(Written by Jack Shamama, Michael Stabile. Directed by Matthew Moore.) Brad (Bret Wolfe), the hot desk clerk of Wet Palms' luxury motel believes he sees pool boy Trip drowning and attempts to save him- only to break the meditative buzz of one of the guests. (I think it's Chad.) He's called away from this moment of annoyance by a bell-ringing guest checking in, ultra-hunky Will Clark (who you may have seen getting stripped down and shaved in Can-Am's Fetist Sex Fights Three). The somewhat flustered Mr. Clark is in town for a Gay Shriner's Convention but his preferred place is already booked. / / / / / CUT TO: Tucker is surfing the web with by-side Peter perpetually in his package-clinging tighty-whities. Tucker is denied access to the Jett Laboratories' website and hits Peter up for info. What Peter is able to tell him has him intrigued. It sounds very hush-hush. The phone rings. No answer. Tucker kisses Peter off to the library and the phone rings again, it's buff troublemaker Todd Marlowe (Ethan Marc) again looking to widen the rift between lovers Peter and Tucker. He claims he needs to see Peter, Peter says no way citing that Tucker could find out about their blackmail fling. Todd is not happy about this deception but Peter hangs up on him before he can order him around again. / / / / / CUT TO: Back at the motel, Brad is looking to replace Trip and interviews Lance Lucarelli (Kelly Jacobs) for the position. As he all but hires Lance, Lucky Hanson swings back into the scene. With money. "From hereon out, I'm a paying guest. Which means I'm not going to be your handyman." / / / / / CUT TO: Back at the magazine, Simon (Michael Soldier) and JP Jett (Zak Spears) are just being evil. Simon has a boner to destroy Peter Dune's career (as, apparently, does every man who isn't his hopelessly devoted boyfriend, Tucker). JP has another idea: bring partyboy blackmailer Todd Marlowe into their power-fold (even though both he and Simon view him as no more than a worm) with his dirt on Peter which they intend to use later on an even bigger scheme. Under threat of potential exposure. (A lesson to us all: consolidate your evil.) / / / / / CUT TO: Lance shows Lucky to his room and the two chat (about nothing). The two soon run into beefcake slowtalker Chad (Corbin Michaels) and Lucky flies off so Lance can figure out what Chad does at the motel. Chad tells him he's a companion, which he defines as a kind of hooker for room and board. Too bad for Lance he has nothing to offer Chad, though Chad is very interested. / / / / / CUT TO: Brad is making up gift baskets when Mr. Clark arrives with complaints. Perhaps this will be important later. / / / / / CUT TO: JP Jett gives Todd a call, confessing that he has secret photos of Todd's blackmail booty call to Peter. Gulp! But he wants something in return. Compromising photos of Chase Walker and info about model Lucky Hanson. Todd promises he'll have the photos ready that night. CUT TO: Todd's desperate. He storms into Peter's house, ready to attack. Assuming Peter has something to do with the photos. But Peter is no fool or victim and he catches Todd's hand and restrains him. Suddenly, predatory Todd is powerless and may soon be answering to Peter. Todd leaves, defeatedly; cryptically denying to fill Peter in on something he may in-fact NEED to know. / / / / / CUT TO: Jett Laboratories, and Lucky's pictures are in. Chase Walker (Rob Romoni), sexy hairy photographer Philip Monroe (the gay porn writer, inside legend Jack Shamama- who co-wrote this series), and Todd are drooling over the returns. Apparently, this means Peter Dune is set to be replaced. This is how good Lucky's photos are. Now, Todd and Simon have Peter right where they want him should either be considering making a move on him. Todd calls JP Jett with the news. / / / / / CUT TO: Back at Tucker and Peter's, Peter is watching porn on TV and feeling himself up... right in front of Tucker, who may well be neglecting his man. Not that he seems bothered yet. He's too busy going bonkers over his investigation into Jett's secrets. He calls up a Mr. Alexandros, referencing a pending lawsuit. / / / / / CUT TO: At Jett, JP and Simon are perusing the pics of Lucky, looking for signs that "Lucky Hanson" is the madeup name of another man they're trying to find named Sebastian. They don't find what they're looking for.
