"The life of a Domingo girl consists of a lot of vacations and secret rendezvous. Kelsey (Chloe Fineman) must have a lot of miles saved up. For the cold open sketch on October 18, Saturday Night Live brought back Domingo (Marcello Hernandez) for a 30th birthday party celebrating Matthew (Andrew Dismukes), and as always, it ends in another hookup uncovered."
"Kelsey's besties (Sabrina Carpenter, Sarah Sherman, Ashley Padilla, and Veronika Slowikowska) sing a revealing version of Taylor Swift's "The Fate of Ophelia" about their trip to Nashville to find a "really good gift for Matthew." Which, in Kelsey's world, means a "hoodie from Hudson News" and cheating. After a transition to Lady Gaga's "Abracadabra," Domingo finally arrives - he lives close by after all."
"After a transition to Lady Gaga's "Abracadabra," Domingo finally arrives - he lives close by after all. He's here to give Matthew the perfect gift: lower self-esteem and a reminder that he is having sex with his wife. "Kelsey, we got a noise complaint. We shook the whole hotel, noise complaint," Domingo and the gals sing to the tune of Alex Warren's "Ordinary," which is the antithesis of this trio's strange dynamic."
The cold open centers on a 30th birthday party where Domingo returns and another hookup is uncovered. Kelsey and her friends travel to Nashville claiming to find a gift but instead seek infidelity and a novelty hoodie. The friends perform a revealing rendition of Taylor Swift's "The Fate of Ophelia" recounting their trip and motives. After a transition to Lady Gaga's "Abracadabra," Domingo appears, revealing he lives nearby. Domingo presents Matthew with mockingly damaging messages that lower his self-esteem and remind him of being unfaithful with his wife. The sketch uses musical parodies to heighten the awkwardness and comedic exposure.
