Room service

Room service or "in-room dining" is a hotel service enabling guests to choose menu items for delivery to their hotel room for consumption there, served by staff. Room service is organized as a subdivision within the Food & Beverage Department of high-end hotel and resort properties. It is uncommon for room service to be offered in hotels that are not high-end, or in motels.

A similar room service may be provided for guests onboard cruise ships. Room service may be provided on a 24 hour basis or be late night service.

Plot

Alex Lowe (Chloë Sevigny) reaches Max Ellison's room in the hospital, who has got infection from the measles, prompting the doctors to ask his mother to sign a DNR. Alex feeds on blood bags in a closet and injects some of her blood into Max, and saves him. Donovan (Matt Bomer) and Iris (Kathy Bates) meet Ramona Royale (Angela Bassett) with the plan of making Iris their "inside man" to Elizabeth (Lady Gaga). At the hotel, Liz Taylor (Denis O'Hare) offers a drink to Iris, which turns out to be blood. Although Liz is excited about Iris' rebirth, the latter muses on her eternal life of being invisible.

Max runs to catch the school bus in a pirate costume, having eaten his parents in their kitchen. His class is decorating the classroom for Halloween, and his friend was worried about him. Max explains nearly dying from the measles, and while they lean in for a kiss, he bites her lip. The virus spreads infecting other children, who kill the teacher and an administrator for their blood. The staff puts the school on lockdown and SWAT team escorts the infected children out of the school. Max's friend Maddy starts a fake story about a masked intruder, and the rest of the children follow suit.
