Plot
Janice prepares vast amounts of food for the book group. Jackie and Rab (who is in her house because of his personal assistant job) eat some of her Dark Alley-themed poppy seed cake ahead of time. Rab makes plans to skip book group in favor of hanging out with Jackie and his team. Clare lies on the bottom of the leisure center swimming pool. She eventually comes up and, going to rent a towel, finds Kenny playing a computer game with Fist and Dirka. Barney calls Janice to say he won’t be at book group due to a looming thesis deadline. He’s messing around with some music. Kenny invites Clare to have a drink with him and the women before going to Janice’s house, but she says she’s going to stay home; she might be getting sick. Martin Logan shows up first and continues to prioritize his writer’s ego over the romance Janice wants to explore. He is nervous to learn what everyone thinks of Dark Alley and finds a spot in the house where he will be able to listen to the conversation without revealing himself. Kenny, Dirk, and Fist arrive, but the women, still concerned with losing weight, do not partake in Janice’s feast. The book cake is not missing any slices. Rab and Jackie roll up to the glamorous players’ night. Clare, watching television, eats dinner on the couch. Barney does his drugs. [more to come]
