The story so far
Everything you need before watchingKen treats patriarchy like a job board: he asks for a high-paying post with influence, tries to operate, then applies for the job of beach. Nobody hires him. Mattel steers Barbie into an unmarked van; she is almost grateful, thinking she will finally speak to someone in charge. Ken decides to carry what he learned back to Barbie Land. Gloria hears that a woman who thinks she is Barbie has been arrested, and she runs after the truck.
