Tony Stark in the Iron Man armor is without his helmet. Tony Stark is drunk and trashing the place.
Tony wakes in fear. It is just a dream. He showers and gets ready for the dinner party. Meanwhile, outside hooded figures approach security and asks for a kiss. It kills the guard. Tony is with a woman who is drinking a lot, and he passes on the drinks. The room was changed at the last minute, and the Serpent Squad goes to the wrong place. They create a distraction by releasing nearby zoo animals. Tony suits up as Iron man and begins to get the wild animals back. Ms. Cuddle, drunk almost gets attacked, and Iron Man rescues her. He is notified tht it is the Serpent Squad, and they take the woman hostage. Iron Man begins defeating them. He is taken in by hypnosis and fights it and finishes them off. Muffy Cuddle is in fear of the snakes, and Tony pities her drinking and reflects on his own battle with the bottle.
