curing her constipation. This leads to a rivalry between the two after Jenny uses the jacket to score with GLOW cameraman Phil at a pool party. In Season 3, Melrose has a one-night-stand with a man named Paul, who reveals himself to be a gigolo and gets into a heated argument with her when she refuses to pay for his services. Several months later, she dates Paul and pays him on her own terms. At a camp retreat with the girls, she shares that her Aunt Pestel and her eight children were murdered in the Holocaust. Bash Howard Sebastian "Bash" Howard (Chris Lowell) is the heir to the Howard Foods business empire and producer of GLOW, as well as the promotion's ring announcer and commentator.

Bash also coordinates with K-DTV for broadcast rights and Patio Town for sponsorship. However, he is in a bind when his mother Birdie freezes his assets after having spent over $600,000 on GLOW.
