Young Howard decided that the best way to become a successful writer was by pretending to be a teenage girl on Wattpad. Fortunately, he didn't get far with his story. In this episode, we read what he managed to write before giving up.

Rufus & Howard retell the entire plot of David Cronenberg's The Fly, starring Jeff Goldblum & Geena Davis - in which an innocent fly gets absorbed by a mad scientist and then blamed for everything that goes wrong.
