Ep 2. Hot Tub Club

After the big move to Las Vegas, the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (GLOW) find themselves struggling to adjust to the desert heat and the fast-paced city lifestyle. In season 3 episode 2 titled "Hot Tub Club," tensions rise as the women are forced to share a communal hot tub at the hotel they’re staying in due to one of their rooms being out of commission.

The episode opens with Ruth (played by Alison Brie) and Debbie (played by Betty Gilpin) trying to unwind in the hot tub, but are quickly joined by several other members of the GLOW cast. The situation becomes awkward as personal conversations and gossip begin to flow freely.

Meanwhile, Sam (played by Marc Maron) is dealing with his own issues as he tries to cope with his daughter moving away to college. He turns to alcohol and partying to distract himself but ultimately realizes he needs to face his problems head-on.

In an attempt to bond with her new castmates, Yolanda (played by Shakira Barrera) suggests they all go out to a club together. However, things take a turn for the worse when she gets into a fight with a bouncer, and the group is forced to leave.

As tensions continue to rise among the women, tensions between two of the men also come to a head. Bash (played by Chris Lowell) confronts Rhonda (played by Kate Nash) about their marriage, and she reveals she is still waiting for her green card. The conversation causes Bash to question his feelings for Rhonda and their relationship’s authenticity.

The episode climaxes with an unexpected guest arriving at the hotel. Justine (played by Britt Baron), Sam’s estranged daughter, shows up unannounced and is met with mixed reactions from the rest of the cast.

Overall, "Hot Tub Club" is a strong episode that explores the complexities of relationships and the challenges of adjusting to a new environment. The episode’s focus on the communal hot tub provides a clever metaphor for the close quarters the GLOW cast now finds themselves in – both literally and figuratively. With tension brewing on multiple fronts, episode 2 of season 3 sets the stage for an intriguing season ahead.
