An eventful summer: London in drag king fever! The "dustydaddy dandydyke d@d@s" meet up at the Dandy Dust Factory. Hans and Svar travel to Scotland. Then Hans travels to Los Angeles and is photographed by Cathy: they create a new persona, "the dirty old man" with a grey moustache from the film prop business. On his return, Hans finds Jason with chicken pox. This doesn't stop Jason and Svar from holding the 'T' ceremonies. Part 2 (Nirvana) depicts the events of that summer from Jason's point of view.
