We begin with a shot of ‘Pamela’s Hardcore Sex Video’ loading slowly on a web page. Now released onto the Wild West of the internet, the tape is selling like hotcakes. Happy customers are taking to their couches with body lotion and boxes of tissues, and Rand is raking in the cheques.

Meanwhile, Pam is pregnant, expecting a “little peanut” with Tommy. The couple are ecstatic, with the drummer delivering the news to his bandmates with characteristic bravura: “I’m going to be a dad. On purpose!”

It’s not until the beginning of 1996 that the discovery of the theft of the tape comes to light. After the pair’s first ultrasound appointment, Tommy goes to store the precious photo keepsake in the safe, only to find the safe missing. When the police come round to take a statement, Pam realises in horror that the tape was among their stolen belongings.

“I feel fucking violated” she whispers to Tommy, a chilling hint of the impending wave of misogyny. “Don’t you?”

Tommy, for his part, is “more pissed”. Still, he’s angry enough to hire a private investigator, who swiftly tells them that there are only two reasons why someone would steal something – money and revenge.
