Summary[]
Tucker Holmes wakes up next to Rebecca Mosley, who was frozen thanks to the Wand of Kronos. Maggie Yen asks to borrow the wand, as per a previous arrangement, and Maggie ends up going to visit the home of Kayley Wu. Later on, Maggie proceeds to go and see Erika Stone in Victoria Towers, getting an invitation to a party she was holding. Tucker can't go so Maggie invites her sister Madison Yen, who agrees since she technically works for Erika. At the party Lucienne Christophe, Tasia Spiro and Sandy Vanholt all show up, Sandy joining with Erika as well as Monica Stein and Caitlin Trafford to plot the temporary kidnapping of four women they'd like to sleep with. Madison, Maggie, Zoe Hollander and Charlene Masters. After the party, the four are invited to stay behind and are all given Type-7, Mary Hamilton joining in but not having picked a victim of her own. The next morning Tucker wakes up next to Lisa Collins, who is also frozen. Jamie Mosley calls, wondering where Maggie is, and Tucker decides to try and figure it out after Maggie is revealed to not be at home. Planning to go Erika's place, Tucker is forced to give Haley Leone one of Maggie's special sleeping pills after freezing her to ensure she doesn't notice time elapsing. Arriving at Erika's place, Tucker accuses Erika and friends of kidnapping while Tasia and Lucienne are nearby. Freezing time, Tucker finds Maggie but realizes he can't unfreeze her so he calls to poison control, who in turn direct him to Colette Landry of Interpol, who is also in town. Colette shows Tucker the antidote and, now free to rescue Maggie and have fun, he does so. Tucker and Maggie fool around with all the frozen women around them, also admitting that they love each other, though in a platonic way. Eventually the pair head back home, finally unfreezing time so Tucker can join Haley at Ginger Cladwell's birthday party.
