Plaza revealed that LuPone recommended a "special nurse" named Joe, who could help her recover. While LuPone was attending an event, Joe arrived to give Plaza some vitamins. He also offered her the "Patti Special," which he claimed would help her sleep. Plaza agreed, but soon found herself in a terrifying situation after being injected with Benadryl.
Describing the effects, Plaza said, "It was like a horse tranquilizer for me." When LuPone returned, she found Plaza in a state where she couldn't speak properly. The White Lotus actress mimicked how she tried to communicate with LuPone in a slurred voice on the show.
Plaza also shared that she felt cold, hot, and sweaty simultaneously, asking the nurse, “Am I alright? Am I gonna make it?” to which he replied, “Oh, you’ll be fine.” Even LuPone became concerned and tried to help Plaza by offering her a peanut butter English muffin, which she shoved into Plaza’s mouth. The two actresses then sat together in the living room, waiting for Plaza to recover.
This bizarre and near-fatal incident has now become a humorous anecdote for Plaza, though it clearly left a lasting impression on her.
