Episode 1 - Welcome to The Flame
Jamie (Ellie Brigida), the owner of the Flame, everyone's favorite LGBTQ bar, is having a rough day. It's the anniversary of when her proposal was rejected by her ex-girlfriend Rachel (Chilina Kennedy) and all she wants to do is marathon Buffy Season Six. But her best friend Heather (Leigh Holmes Foster) and the patrons of the Flame are always there to cheer her up. There's Jo (Jenn Colella), the divorce attorney who sleeps with most of her clients, Bridget (Vico Ortiz), who's always looking for new trivia team members and Jessica and Ashley (Liz Mongrello and Dana Piccoli) who just got back from their honeymoon and brought a postcard for the wall. And it looks like Jamie's luck might be turning around when Sam (Jasmin Savoy Brown) walks into the bar and makes Jamie forget all about Rachel. Join us at the Flame to see what happens next!
