In [[Act III]], the duo encounter [[Conway]], [[Shannon]], and [[Ezra]] stranded on the highway. Junebug and Johnny fix Conway's truck, and go on to perform "Too Late to Love You," a song originally sung by [[Lysette]], at [[the Lower Depths]] tavern.

== Name Trivia ==
Junebug was originally based on [[wikipedia:Loretta Lynn|Loretta Lynn]], a country singer-songwriter known for her song "Coal Miner's Daughter." Although her final design contains significant changes, Junebug's extravagant blue gown remains a reference to Lynn.
=== References to the transgender experience ===
Many of Junebug's experiences mirror those of transgender individuals. She was originally built with a different body and role in mind, and as a result has had to build her identity from the ground up. <!-- Act III, Graveyard --> Additionally, Junebug's complaints about "authenticity" may be a metaphor for her own dysphoria. <!-- Act III, Drive-In -->
