Spoilers for OHSHC BELOW!! Please watch the anime for the full context of this AU! It's on Netflix! You should check it out!

Oki doki let's do this. Sally comes across an old music house for a quiet place to study her scripts right? Mhmm yeah. Boom. Host club. Eddie, Frank, Wally, Howdy, Barnaby. They all think Sal here is a gay guy wanting to be entertained like what happens in a host club. Sal is caught off guard and breaks a stupidly expensive vase but uh oh! Sal is stupidly poor and can't afford to pay them back! So Eddie decides "this guy's gonna pay us back by being a host!" So yeah now Sal is in the host club now. One by one in the same day, the gentlemen start to realize that Sal is a girl. And they're like "well yeah we gotta keep that a secret guys. How else is she gonna pay us back huh??" So she's gotta pretend to be a boy until she's paid back her debt! But then the guys all start to have a crush on her but Eddie is her main love interest with Barnaby being that competition.

Anyway, moving on. Julie is new in town who confused Frank for a character in her video game who she's grown into a parasocial relationship with! So she thinks that Frank is gonna treat her the same way but no. Frank just tells it how it is and basically calls her annoying and to quit it. She also decides that she's gonna be the host club manager now! She loses interest in him and then ALSO grows a crush on Sally! Oh yeah Eddie is also kinda stupid and jealous and that's where he needs to get his character arc from. So yeah he gets jealous of Julie and blah blah blah episode over.

Alright so Eddie decides one day they need to visit Sally in her place of residence and everyone is trying their best to not comment about how poor her living condition is to not offend her. But then in walks Poppy! And to her, Sally says "welcome home dad" Poppy is transgender male to female but is still alright with Sally calling her dad. Because her mom is dead and this isn't a replacement. Poppy is a little passive aggressive to the boys for entering her house uninvited and especially doesn't like Eddie because of his flirting with her daughter. But she grows to tolerate them.
