BACK IN BLUE

Yup, poor ol' Jack's back in between those grey Salem prison walls, hunched towards the perspex talking divider, and bemoaning Jennifer's fate of suffering life without him. His roller coaster relationship with Jennifer will have to end - it's unfair to have her pine for him when he's incarcerated for the rest of his life.

But then he sees Jen; mistily observes her simpering dial, and turns to mush.  If only there was some way it could be proven that Peter Blake was still alive!  In the meantime though, Jack will sigh, warn Jen of imminent danger, suffer twinges over the identity of Trent (Jen's new next door neighbour), and try and make platonic friends with a truck driver named Beryl.

BLOOD TESTS

It's the morning of the wedding, and Scami is awoken by the shrill ringing of the phone beside her bed.  It's Nurse Pretty with a reminder call.  Scami and Ausdumb need to have their blood tests this morning, or their wedding won't be official.  Scami stops for a moment to think. She must change MuteWill's blood type on the hospital's computer records before anyone gets suspicious.  Giving blood this morning may just present the opportunity to do so.

AUSTIN & ERIC

Eric remains suspicious of Scami - his twin radar is beeping loudly. However what Scami's nervous about is eluding him.  Eric talks again with Ausdumb.  You didn't even tell Carrie that your marriage to Scami had been annulled! fumes Eric.  It doesn't matter! spits Ausdumb, his eyes darting and rolling. Carrie's with Dr Mike now - he's the best person for the job, and I am going to form a family with Scami and MuteWill and be the best father I can be. Eric offers to escort Ausdumb to the hospital for his blood tests.

TRAVELLING HOME

The fastest way in inclement weather to return to Salem is by train, and as the train rattles down the tracks, Dr Mike looks dreamily at Carrie, who, oblivious to his love thoughts, whines endlessly about Ausdumb. I don't understand it! Carrie repeats ad nauseam. Scami must be up to something! Raising a watery smile, Mike shakes his head.  If only that dopey Ausdumb realised what he was letting go. Carrie is the most beautiful, sweet, lovely, generous, kind.....human being.  Mike debates the virtues of telling Carrie of his feelings for her, but internally agrees with us at home that getting a word in edgeways in the "I've lost Ausdumb, Scami's a trollop" chant would be at best, unlikely.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS

Having arrived for her blood tests, Scami looks interested as Nurse Pretty clicks away on the keyboard.  She's entering records of Scami's blood work on the computer. Scami's eyebrow raises, as she asks if the passwords are the same in the operations part of the hospital as they are in hospital records.  She used to be a candy striper and is always keen about acquiring new skills and knowledge.

Nurse Pretty looks at Scami and smiles.  That's very admirable! she praises before confirming that the password system is the same. Great!  Now all Scami has to do is get some moments alone with the computer to change MuteWill's blood type before anyone finds out that Mucas is the father, and not Ausdumb!

AGGHGHH!!

Slipping downstairs in the morning, Laura reaches for the daily newspaper, before seeing Trent/Travis standing in the hallway!  AGGHGHHH!! chokes Laura.  What are you doing here?

Trent/Travis in reality is fiddling with the security system to ensure it's complete ineffectiveness when it's needed most, however Trent has an answer.  The back door was open, the alarm light was flashing, he just came in to make sure all was okay. Laura's relieved and grateful that they've got a good looking male presence readily available at a moment's notice.  Us poor simpering woman in the house alone really struggle without some walking testosterone.

HERE WE GO...

Nurse Pretty has disappeared to get some water to ease Scami's swiftly executed nausea attack, and Scami's delighted.  Settling at the hospital computer she congratulates herself.  Soon, she mutters as she taps away at the keyboard, there will be no evidence that Mucas is MuteWill's father.  I just need a few moments more and....

oops. Look who's here?  Eric's intercepted the nurse, and arrived with the water for Scami. What are you doing Scami? Eric frowns suspiciously.

As Eric tries to take a peek at the screen, Scami creates a diversion, tapping the escape key.  Darnit! she was unable to alter the records, but at least Eric can't see what she's been working on.

Eric remains suspicious.  What is Scami up to?

ARRESTED

Wandering aimlessly around the streets of Rome, Billieboob is scratching her forearms struggling with her need to get the next fix.  SMax, feeling recklessly invincible, has neglected to heed J.L. King's warnings to flee Rome, and instead, he whispers in  Billieboob's ear. I told you you'd be hooked again! he sneers as Billieboob looks confused.  A whistle blows!  By golly, it's Constable Plod-etti of the Rome police!  He's identified SMax as a criminal on the loose, and is calling his colleagues to help him with the arrest!

Returning to her hotel room, Billieboob looks desperately through her hand luggage.  There must be something to ease her cravings.  Even an itty bitty grain of drug would do! But no, Billieboob's out of luck.  If she wants to fix that craving, she'll have to return to her new buddies at the Fortuna Club.

SURPRISE!

As Ausdumb dresses for the wedding, the door sweeps open.  It's Carrie and Mike back in Salem!

Ausdumb sure didn't expect to see them in his apartment!

How could you Ausdumb? spits Carrie tearfully, as Mike dares Ausdumb to hurt his beloved again, glaring steadily at Ausdumb's Adam's apple bounce guiltily.
