As the second chapter of "Bad Thoughts" unfolds, we leap a year into the future's tumultuous landscape. Evan (portrayed by Robert Iler) dashes through the winding streets, his breath ragged, before plunging into a house and slamming the door shut behind him. Roger (played by Kirk Fox) approaches him, his voice tinged with a strange mix of hope and despair as he utters, "St. Mary's, it's a decent hospital." Roger believes Evan was submerged in the chaos along with everyone else, asserting that the world has descended into a dystopian abyss. Aliens roam freely, indulging in their sinister sexual predations. Roger reassures Evan that his discovery of this haven is sheer luck, a sanctuary where they are momentarily safe, a refuge he's called home for an extended period. He reveals the escape route but emphasizes that it requires two committed souls and a peculiar ritual – both must defecate in the toilet simultaneously.
Evan, skeptical, thinks Roger is toying with him. As he attempts to exit through the door, an unseen force slams it shut, sending him reeling. Roger persists, insisting the toilet trick is genuine. Evan relents, humoring the notion, yet nothing happens when he tries. Roger confesses he held back. They attempt the ritual once more, synchronized in their effort. Evan complies, but Roger fails again, claiming he needed to relieve himself before transforming into one of those aliens.
Elsewhere, a young boy rips off a VR headset after immersing himself in "Aliens F**K Humans," his eyes gleaming with excitement. He tells Cyrus (Tom Segura) that he adored it, and together with his father, they purchase the game. Cyrus shifts the conversation to the intricacies of success. The scene then cuts to a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the high-octane thriller "Maximum Kickage," featuring Steven Seagal. Kerri Sorenson (played by Alexandra Chando) sits down with Seagal, who portrays Drake Kicking in the film. Steven boasts about performing karate atop a helicopter, while footage shows him in Russia alongside President Vladimir Putin. James Gonzalez reveals he essays the role of FBI Villain One, and Ericka takes on the mantle of the Head of the Special Forces. Kerri inquires about Steven's propensity for veering off-script, to which he responds, reminding her that he reigns supreme in improvisation.
Just as the interview gains momentum, Steven's investors burst in, disrupting the flow. The female investor scathingly declares the movie a piece of garbage. Oleg, compliance in hand, receives orders to excise Steven's testicles due to an $80 million debt. Steven pleads for one final chance, but fate is unkind; he ultimately meets his demise at the hands of the Russians.
The narrative shifts gears, introducing us to Rex Henley, a country music superstar. Rex faces scolding from Jimmy Kimmel and others, urged to abandon his musical pursuits. Undeterred, Rex vows to move his audience deeply the next time they listen to one of his songs. Six months later, a woman finds herself imprisoned alongside fellow concertgoers. They are serenaded by Rex's performance, and a nearby inmate whispers that he's arriving. Rex storms the stage, and the captive learns the grim truth – Rex has abducted fans, mining their lives for songwriting material. He seeks deeper insights into their woes. One mentions sore feet, another recounts losing their mother in 9/11. Rex chastises the guard, Byung Sung (Arnold Chun), for his lack of manners, prompting Sung to offer the distressed woman a shrimp as an odd gesture of sympathy.
Sung brings Rex's attention to the haunting revelation shared by the woman—that her mother had perished in a recent hurricane. Suddenly, soldiers swoop in and abduct her, tearing her away from their midst. The air is rife with the distressing sound of a gunshot, suggesting her fate may be grim. The freshly ensnared captive, turning to Rex, corrects their mistaken assumption, asserting, "We are not family." She emphasizes further, "Families do not resort to kidnapping one another." This statement stirs Rex's emotions, prompting him to storm off in a fit of distress.
Later, Shelly, the female captive, finds herself at the mercy of a gun's cold barrel, with a note thrust into her hands. The message conveys Rex's desire for a conversational rendezvous over dinner. The guard informs Shelly that Rex expects her to present herself immaculately, instructed to don a particular ensemble for their meal.
