David telephones Chris in his chalet and asks him and Simone to have a drink with him. "Thanks, but we're going out,"
says Chris. Simone takes the phone from Chris. "David. Of course we'd like to have a drink with you,"
she says.
Muriel Baines tells Victor Lee that she is still a bit nervous. "You wouldn't stay the night would you?" she asks.
Victor, seeing that Muriel is still very shaky, agrees.
Chris and Simone have a drink with David in the sitting room. Suddenly Chris says they must go. As David goes
to open the door, Simone looks him up and down approvingly. David asks them to have dinner with him on Wednesday.
"Well actually we had something planned...." says Chris. "We'd love to," says Simone.
Ethel Wisbey asks Meg Mortimer for her bill. Diane Parker see's Miss Wisbey checking out. "Goodbye Mrs Mortimer,"
says Ethel Wisbey, and with a nod towards Diane, Ethel Wisbey leaves the motel. "Under different circumstances
we might have become friends," Meg tells Diane.
Victor Lee wakes up on the settee at the Baines' home, as Muriel Baines draws the curtains. He gulps down a cup of
tea and then asks Muriel if she will be alright on her own. Muriel says he might have got the impression that she didn't
want him to come anymore but says he would be most welcome to call again. "See you soon then," says Victor Lee.
"Yes, and thank you," says Muriel.
P.C Frank Tyler comes to the motel and asks Diane Parker if Jackie Barrett is available. He asks Diane if Jackie
has said anything to her because she seems a bit off with him.
A woman arrives at the motel and introduces herself to Jane Smith as Phoebe Thompkins. "Can you get Mr Hunter.
I'm his 11 o'clock appointment," says Phoebe Thompkins. Jane phones through to the sitting room and tells Phoebe Thompkins
that Mr Hunter is out. "You can see Mrs Mortimer. She's the owner," says Jane. "If I've got a choice I always
see the fella. I'll be back at two," says Phoebe Thompkins, and leaves.
Diane Parker tells Jackie Barrett that Frank Tyler was asking for her earlier. She says he told her that he thought
Jackie had gone off him. Jackie says it's the uniform which puts her off.
Phoebe Thompkins arrives back at the motel that afternoon and asks Jane Smith for Mr Hunter. Jane phones through
to David who says he can't see anyone at the moment because he is with the accountant.
Diane Parker see's Frank Tyler in the motel reception and tells him that Jackie Barrett has a thing about uniforms.
Jane Smith visits Muriel Baines at home. Muriel hears a rattle at the letterbox and goes to the door.
She comes back with a note written on a scrap of paper. "Missing you something terrible. I don't think," reads
Muriel. "Some people have got minds like sewers," she says.
Meg asks David if he knows when Chris is leaving and David tells her that Chris hasn't said anything. Meg asks
David what time he finished work last night and David tells her about 9nine o'clock. "You know we must get a secretary,"
says Meg. David tells her that he is seeing someone today about the secretary's job.
Chris Hunter tells Simone Clavell that he wishes he could get out of having diiner with his father. "You are lucky
to have a father like David. Good looking and sexy, very sexy," says Simone. She takes a dress out of the wardrobe.
"That dress?" asks Chris. "It's new. Do you like it?" asks Simone. "You really do fancy him don't you,"
says Chris and begins to laugh.
Phoebe Thompkins comes into the sitting room and meets David Hunter. She hands him her references, and David looks
at them. "Can you really do 190 words per minute?" asks David. "You want to test me?" asks Phoebe Thompkins.
"I beg your pardon," says David. "Shorthand. Dictate a letter to me," says Phoebe. "Can anybody talk that
fast," says David. David tells her that they have had problems trying to cope without a secretary. "Now you don't
have to worry," says Phoebe Thompkins, putting a hand on David's knee. "Your problems are solved," she adds. David
tells Phoebe that he will let her know his and Meg's decision.
Later that evening, David, Chris and Simone go into the sitting room after dinner. Chris begins talking about politics
and argues his communist views. "Don't tell me about your system because I don't want to know," shouts Chris and storms
out of the room.
Victor Lee visits Muriel Baines and takes her some magazines. "Your car's out front is it?" asks Muriel. "Yes,"
answers Victor Lee. "Nasty corner," says Muriel. "It would take an idiot not to see it," laughs Victor.
Simone Clavell apologises to David for Chris's behaviour. "Come and sit here and have some coffee," Simone says and
pats the settee. David sits next to her and Simone hands him his coffee. David asks Simone how her and Chris met.
"I am very fond of Chris," says Simone. "You must have been fond of him to follow him here," says David. Simone
tells David that she was worried about Chris and Pierre and thought they might have got into trouble. "Chris gave me
the impression that it was girl trouble," says David. "Me?" asks Simone. "Would I get a man into trouble?" she
asks and David smiles. "Quite easliy," he says. Simone tells David that Chris's mother is too demanding and should
realise that Chris is a grown man. "Young for his age, but still a man," she says. Simone tells David that she
must go and kisses David on the cheek before leaving.
Muriel Baines telle Victor Lee that there has been some talk about him coming here. She says they should carry on
as normal because they have nothing to hide.
Simone Clavell tells Chris that he must control himself and not shout at people. "But I am glad you haven't changed,"
says Simone. Chris says the things he said to his father weren't true but it was just to get at him. "Simone.
I want out," says Chris. He tells Simone that he isn't a militant and doesn't want to belong to the group anymore.
