 Jack's
been snoozing in the hammock pondering the mystery of the missing Travis, when
he sees a person peering over his fence. Jack recognises that
silhouette! Frowning, Jack yells - is that you Travis? Looking up Trent/Travis
panics. He's been seen! He'd better skedaddle!
ROME
 BozoCop's
in Rome, searching for Billieboob. Interpol tell him they have a handle
on all of King's men, but if Billieboob's in danger, can they put her together
again?
Bozo, undeterred,
continues his quest. He'll start first at the sidewalk café sharing an
espresso with his Roman counterpart. Nope, she doesn't seem to be there
he thinks moving the sugar container,
but for the moment, the coffee's good.
HOPE &
JENNIFER
Let's ponder the mystery of why Hopeless chose Jennifer's house to spread her
own unique brand of cheer. Starting off in love and happy, Jennifer's
face slowly sags as Hopeless recounts the last few miserable months of her
life, coupled with her bleak outlook and her monumental suffering.
As Jennifer
searches in vain for a change of subject, she's given a temporary reprieve
from Hopeless' moaning. It's Jack! yelping in the backyard!
COSY
Billieboob has had enough drugs pumped into her arm to kill an elephant, and she's plagued by disturbing visions. Blinking her eyes, she refocuses on
SMax who's looking at her speculatively while chatting on the cellphone to J.L.
King. Yes Boss, he affirms. My work here is done. Project
delivered on time and on budget. Billieboob Reed is now back to the
junkie she was years ago. There's no way she's going to give evidence
against us now, she'll be too busy looking for a fix. I'm planning on
letting her loose to roam the streets of Rome anytime soon.
MIKE &
CARRIE, & AUSTIN
Dr Mike, man of a thousand comfort zones, is once again protecting damsel in
distress Carrie from the big bad naughty Scami, when Ausdumb views them
through the doorway. Running outside again, Ausdumb looks strangely at the sky
conducting a personal conversation with the moon. It's too late, he
moans. Carrie no longer loves me.
JACK'S SIGHTING
 Jennifer
and Hopeless join Jack still yelping in the garden. I saw Travis! he
spurts excitedly. I don't know why he was here, but I definitely saw
him!
Jennifer frowns,
the voice of reason. Jack why would your old prison buddy Travis be
hiding in the dark at our house? Why wouldn't he have knocked at the door like
normal folk? Are you sure it was him? You may have been having a dream.
Jack's
confused. But he's going to check out the grounds anyway. Whether
it was Travis or not, there was certainly someone spying on them!
THE PLEA
 Carrie
has cornered Eric, asking him to ascertain if Scami still has her amnesia, or
if it is as Carrie suspects, that Scami is pretending for her own gain.
Eric agrees reluctantly to help. He's got a good handle on Scami's
emotions, he knows when she's lying.
TRENT/TRAVIS
Jennifer's
surprised to bump into Trent in her backyard. He looks around
nervously. I thought I heard a noise and I came to investigate, he
offers lamely. As he hears Jack's voice, he winces. Oops expecting
a call, gotta go! he tells Jennifer, who stands still and looks simperingly
confused.
ERIC &
SCAMI
 Eric
embarks on his interrogation of Scami. I feel pain all the time, she groans,
reaching uncertainly behind her for the chair. I never let on how much pain I'm
in because Ausdumb would feel guilty. Nodding, Eric makes his way
to the door and reports to Carrie, Mike and Ausdumb. I don't know whether she
has recovered her memory, he admits, but I can tell you, she is definitely in
pain. I can feel that she's feeling pain, right here in my twin bone.
 Carrie's
lip quivers. She's got you fooled too! she rants. Can't anyone
see that she's the same old Scami and she's keeping the secret from you all? Leaning forward, Ausdumb
sneers. You're pretty good at keeping secrets yourself aren't you?
As
Carrie looks dumbfounded and hurt, her mouth flaps in silent protest. Unmoved,
Ausdumb sneers. It's not
difficult Carrie, YOU work it out! he snaps striding away.
LUCAS &
SAMI
 Lucas
is pleased. Wow he said, you really looked like you felt pain - you
don't now do you Scami?
Holding out a trembling hand, Lucas is shocked
to see a self-inflicted bloody wound in Scami's palm as she uncurls her
fingers revealing a nail
file. You did this to yourself? asks Lucas incredulously. Are you
crazy? Don't you ever let me see you do anything like this again! he
says dabbing at the bloody hand. I had to really feel pain, Scami admits
to Lucas so that Eric would pick up on that and not on the fact that I'm not
an amnesiac.
AUSTIN &
SAMI
 Ausdumb
files in. Eric told me you weren't feeling well, he says looking
concerned. Do you still have pain? Would you like me to get you a pain
pill? Yes, yes I would admits Scami. I've been keeping it from you so
you wouldn't feel guilty. You don't have to keep anything from me,
Ausdumb stresses holding Scami's hand and making her wince.
 Behind
the door, Carrie watches Scami's performance and sees how Ausdumb
responds. Her face crumples and she flees out the front door, followed
closely by the man with the comforting arms, Dr Mike.
THREE MUSKETEERS
 No
sign of Travis or any other interloper, so Jack shares drinks and a group
hug with Jennifer and Hopeless.
Everything
will work out Hopeless, you'll see, Jack says. At the very least we
suspect he simply wants Hopeless to quit moaning and if she continues, to
do it somewhere else.
FREE TO GO
 SMax
has untied Billieboob from the bed, and she rises unsteadily to her
tootsies. Peering at him, she raises a watery smile. You mean
I can go now? she says uncertainly.
Yes, you're
sufficiently hooked, he tells her satisfied. But before you go, you
need to take some of these, he says waggling pills under her nose.
 No
way! uh huh! Billieboob refuses. I'm never going to take drugs
again. Never! SMax smiles. Sure you will Billieboob, he
laughs, and you certainly have to take these if you want to leave this
room.
Nervously
Billieboob looks around for her saviour, but he's sipping espresso.
Licking her lips, she looks longingly at the bottle.
CARRIE
& MIKE
 Dr
Mike has raced after Carrie.
Did you hear the way Ausdumb snarled at
me? she sobs distraught, as Dr Mike sighs.
I would never treat Carrie
this way, Mike thinks as he reaches out to hug the woman of his dreams.
WHAT'S UP?
 Waiting
for Ausdumb to return with the pain pills, Scami is chatting quietly to
Lucas when Eric returns viewing her speculatively. So what's this
Scami? challenges Eric. No pain now? You can turn it on and turn it
off at will? What's really going on here Scami?
