PlotArliss meets Jasmine on a blind date at a coffeehouse, but it turns out Jasmine has bipolar, carrying a gun and contemplating suicide. Jasmine introduces herself to Arliss as "Emily", a fake character she created to pretend she is not his date. She pretends to be somebody else that went to the same coffee shop. Eventually Arliss discovers that she is his date pretending to be another person and he gets mad. She forces him to stay by holding a gun in front of his face. Jasmine confesses that the gun is for her, because she is going to commit suicide tomorrow morning on her 31st birthday. The reason why she wants to commit suicide is because she is a manic bipolar depressive and she feels she can't live any longer with the condition and is suffering psychological pain. In the middle of the drama, Arliss starts feeling love for Jasmine instead of hating her for pointing a gun at him. CastJaneane Garofalo ... Jasmine Mitch Rouse ... Arliss Margaret Cho ...
