Chozen’s parole officer hooks him up with a job, but it turns out to be a scheme laid by Phantasm to humble our hero. Chozen, having none of that, walks out on Phantasm and starts dreaming up ways (including a Street Fighter II battle) to get one up on his nemesis. Jimmy, however, is the one who comes up with the much more realistic and effective plan of getting some incriminating photos of Phantasm macking on Bobbi, a smoking hot transwoman that Chozen met in an on-campus LGBT group which he had very little patience for. It doesn’t quite work and, in fact, backfires when Phantasm arranges for a drunken Chozen to be roofied and taken home by one of his agents… who happens to be a transman. Chozen plans some image-killing revenge, but Phantasm renders the attack futile, and so the beef goes on. Now, this still paints sex with a transgendered person as some kind of trap or punishment, and I can understand how that would rub a lot of people the wrong way, but balancing that out, there was some very positive portrayals of trans people too. While transman Chauncy is a villain here, Phantasm seems to value him as a member of his team, part of his inner circle. Bobbi is an awesome character. She’s funny, she’s cool, and when Chozen first realizes she’s packing dong, he doesn’t shrink away in disgust; he enthusiastically compliments her on her tuck and gives her props. They become friends because they bond over the lameness of the LGBT group and how hard it is to find guys there. And even though she agrees to help him pull one over on Phantasm, he still checks to make sure she doesn’t feel exploited, and not only is she cool with it, she has her own motivations for participating. She’s such a great addition to the show that if she doesn’t appear again in future episodes, I’ll be disappointed. If anyone take a hit this episode, it’s the lame-ass LGBT group, whom Chozen chastises for trying to pin a label on him just because he had a sexual experience outside his normal pursuits. “Well, I identify you as a silly little bitch, Terrance, so why ya gotta keep labeling our asses every five minutes? Just chill!” The final word of this episode seems to be more about not being so concerned with labels and categories. Chozen himself says, “Call yourself what you like. Own that shit!” And I think that’s pretty much the point. Bottom line? The interplay between Chozen and Phantasm is always good stuff, and there were some great one liners. Chozen’s reply to Phantasm’s warning that he’s always one step ahead of him is “In jail, I liked it when guys were one step ahead of me.” But the supporting cast is still thinly drawn and weak, and if that’s all they’re supposed to be, that’s fine, but if they’re going to be getting their own sub-plots, they could use a little more beef.
