...popular television actors, beginning with their attempt to lure Ronna into a sting operation in exchange for absolution from a previous violation of the law. The setup becomes secondary as they are propositioned by a truly quirky couple, the cop that arranges the sting (William Fichtner) and his wife (Jane Krakowski), and then discover they share a common love interest. This latter revelation brings Adam and Zack back into Ronna's world at the rave, where they find themselves in a new violation...
This letter is addressed to Jane--Jane the person, Jane the magazine, Jane the enigmatic figure who has lurked, inconspicuous but ever-present, throughout most of my sentient life. I just bought the one-year-anniversary issue of your new magazine, and my first question is: What happened? Either the irony of the publication is just too subtle for even the most subtle of readers, or someone with big hair and bigger scissors has snipped out your judgment and put it in the crisper of an industrial fridge.

Part of the joy of your old magazine was that it applauded the idea that movie stars are a little more than pretty faces and talking heads, and that real people doing real things were a lot more worthy of our attentions...
...Jane supposed to be reality for the all-grown up Sassy gang? Are we to interpret it as the next logical step? Sassy made the world seem, to me, like a very small place--like a neighborhood filled with sisters who could give you a few pointers along the way and tell you if you had toilet paper stuck to the bottom of your shoe. Looking at the world through the magazine's rose-tinted cat-eye glasses convinced me to hang in there, that new ideas and a hip new world were around every bend. Maybe I was just...
