comment
AJ and the Queen is a dramedy series created by RuPaul and Michael Patrick King (Sex and the City) on Netflix.After getting scammed by his boyfriend and business partner, drag queen Ruby Red (RuPaul) is left penniless. While embarking on a cross-country tour originally meant to be his last, he discovers bratty half-pint AJ (Izzy G) stowed away in his RV, seeking to escape her own bleak life in New York. What begins as a begrudging arrangement between them becomes an unlikely friendship both of them desperately needed.Alongside Ru Paul are Josh Segarra as Ruby's scamming ex Hector, Tia Carrere as his eyepatched sidekick Lady Danger, Michael-Leon Wooley as Ruby's best friend Louis, Matthew Wilkas as hot cop Officer Kennedy, Katerina Tannenbaum as AJ's mother, and a host of RuPaul's Drag Race alumni (including Katya, Valentina, and Bianca Del Rio) as various drag queens Ruby encounters on the road.Cancelled after 1 season.

She finally gets a puppy while they're in Mississippi when they buy it from a homeless couple but due to the puppy crying for its old owner, an understanding but heartbroken AJ takes it upon herself to bring the puppy back, realizing that "[the puppy] misses its mommy, even if she's a bad one."

Act of True Love: AJ gets a puppy after Ruby buys it off from a homeless couple and is ecstatic. However, upon seeing that the puppy was always crying at night and is refusing to eat, she decides to give it back to its old owners, though it's not easy for her. This is especially noteworthy since she was whining about wanting a dog of her own in past episodes, but she loves dogs too much to see them unhappy.
