1"Dream Machine"Matt SpicerCara DiPaolo and Brendan KellyMay 19, 2022 (2022-05-19)
In the early 1980s, billboards with images of Angelyne appear in Los Angeles and catch people's attention. In 2019, Angelyne is interviewed about a recent article in The Hollywood Reporter by Jeff Glaser, who claims to have uncovered Angelyne's real identity. In 2015, Glaser connects Angelyne to an old boyfriend, Cory Hunt, the former guitarist of punk rock band Baby Blue. Around 1977, Angelyne and Cory meet, she joins the band, and reshapes its image around herself. Band members Bud and Ray want Angelyne gone, but they can't kick her out after she gets them booked at the famed club Whisky a Go Go. Despite the band getting a bad review in the press, Cory buys Angelyne a Chevrolet Corvette and proposes marriage. She turns down the proposal but keeps the car. In 1981, Cory does a solo cover version of "Wild Thing" and finds minor success on KROQ-FM. He claims Angelyne was so jealous that she broke up with him. Angelyne counters that she actually broke up with Cory for cheating on her. Cory goes to rehab for drug abuse, where Angelyne visits him and they make amends. She gets large breast implants and paints her car pink, feeling this better reflects how she sees herself. In 2015, Glaser is frustrated that his investigation has hit a dead end, but his hopes are renewed when he gets the chance to interview Angelyne.

In some cases, criminal or anti-social behavior occurs when the person is under the influence of a drug, and long-term personality changes in individuals may also occur. In addition to possible physical, social, and psychological harm, the use of some drugs may also lead to criminal penalties, although these vary widely depending on the local jurisdiction.
