Wings (1990)

S08E16 Escape from New York

Brian and Helen's much-anticipated trip to New York to watch "Rent" takes a disastrous turn when the theater denies Helen's request to transfer her benefactor's tickets. To make matters worse, a con artist swindles them out of their cash, leaving Helen with no choice but to enter a drag queen contest to raise money for their return home. Meanwhile, Joe, stuck at home with a painful back, finds himself alone with a surprisingly chatty Antonio, leading to unexpected conversations and antics.
