Ivy Davenport seeks Eve's aid to substitute as a dancer at Jake's cabaret to keep her job. Eve agrees to bluff through dances, with Queenie Morris guiding the plan and Jim Murphy monitoring crowd behavior. The arrangement promises $3 per substitute night plus tips as the night unfolds.
The 1780 conference held near Henderson brought together about twenty preachers from Virginia and the Carolinas to organize the first annual meeting. They reported 991 new members, laying groundwork for the church’s growth in North Carolina. Methodism expanded to 745 churches, 235 preachers, and a 260,118 member tally in the state.
Eve seeks the manager with Miss Davenport's name and lands a chance to work as substitute hostess. In Davenport's absence she enters a crowded room of dancers and staff, meeting Miss Morris and several wary performers including Ivy, Stella, and Queenie as she plans her debut.
