Brian. Princeton is the first character we see, but he's a puppet. He's just graduated with a B.A. in English and is hoping to make his mark in the world and find his "purpose". Brian is also trying to make his way as a comedian but isn't doing very well. He starts singing the song "It Sucks To Be Me" and soon finds out that everyone else thinks their lives suck too.

Ricky. Rod threw Nicky out for telling everyone he was gay (which he denied) but Nicky tries to make amends by posting Rod's profile on the internet to find him a boyfriend, which he does. Ricky looks exactly like Nicky! So, Kate and Princeton get back together, Lucy becomes a born-again virgin and everyone ends up happy, well at least, "only for now"!

Her name is Alberta, she lives in Vancouver. Rod sings:
"Her name is Alberta, she lives in Vancouver." Then later mixes up his story to say "So soon I'll be off to Alberta...I mean Vancouver." This is from the song "My Girlfriend (Who Lives In Canada)", one of my favourite songs of the show. Rod is a closeted homosexual and he sings this song to prove that he's not. No one believes him.
