Early drafts of the synopsis described it this way: "Bliss catches Ike peeping on her in the shower. She asks Ike to meet her in her quarters. To relax, Ike smokes a joint. Bliss catches him. She expresses an interest in him as well. They arrange a late night sexual rendezvous but every time they plan to get together, something happens which prevents them to consummate their scandalous affair.
