They then move on to a Mexican bar, where Emma meets a charming guy, and Anthony orders a tequila shot that goes terribly wrong. As the night progresses, they run into a group of weird and quirky characters, including an overzealous bouncer, a DJ, and a bizarre bartender.
The group hops from bar to bar and ends up in a strip club where they indulge in more alcohol and regrettable decisions. Emma's rendezvous with the charming guy becomes a misadventure, and Anthony ends up doing something that he will forever regret. Lindsay, on the other hand, is struggling to keep her composure and her secrets as the group's drinking spree reaches a climax.
