House on Fire S1:E5

Open House

The Iconic House of Mugler is determined to reclaim their seat on the throne of the NYC summer ball season. With larger than life personalities and close quarters, tensions flare on the path to redemption. Fuel is only added to the flame when Yusef, the Mugler father, introduces a new recruit to the house whose dating reputation precedes them. Ex-mother of the house, Leyna, wants back in but her lingering return proves tumultuous…at best.

I Know You Missed Me

Leading up to the first ball of the season, the girls in the house aren’t happy about Leyna’s potential return. Yusef faces off with Leyna as she angles to rejoin the house, but he’s not convinced he should stand in her corner.

With all the distractions swirling around the Muglers, will they be able to pull it together for the Latex ball?

What's the T?

It’s pride weekend in New York and the Muglers are headlining a float. After a fiery Father’s Day BBQ at Yusef's, the house undergoes some restructuring and Tati expresses her apprehension to return to the ballroom floor. AJ fights harder for Exotic’s love – flying dangerously close to the sun and dragging his chances of becoming a Mugler in the process.
