Subject: All My Boardies, Episode 2x02 - "Unravelling"

(PS: Thanks to Stormy for volunteering to post this, but tis OK, babes!)

ABM is carrying a large box down a corridor. He gets to a room, opens it, and we see Dandy, sitting behind a desk. She looks up at him, and smiles. She can't believe that they're here, doing this, but ABM tells her that she'd better get used to it fast. He puts the box down in the corner, and mock-asks Dandy if he can see to his own office now. She gets up, comes out from behind the desk, and kisses him gently. Then she "gives him leave" to go. He turns, and walks across the corridor, into his office - to see AngelX sitting behind his own desk. He shuts the door, and asks what this early morning visit is for. AngelX asks ABM what happened, but he doesn't understand. AngelX says that they used to be friends, that she just wants to know how ABM can be doing this. ABM says that he isn't doing anything, Toothy offered he and Dandy a chance to start again, and they took it. They didn't know that this was it, but they didn't have much choice, being both homeless and jobless. AngelX asks if ABM really preferred the though of living indebted to Toothy, of all people. ABM counters that it's not like that, that they had evidence against Toothy and Simon, and that they simply brokered an agreement. AngelX gets up from behind the desk, and leaves the room, asking ABM if he really knows what he's getting in to.

At the hospital, SeaBoy is lying in bed, when LB comes wheeling up to him in a wheelchair. He is happy to see her, and asks what she's doing here. She shows him her gunshot wound, and he winces. LB asks SeaBoy what he's doing in the ward, and he quickly details the explosion-story back at Caritas. He asks her if she heard about {mikeyg} and Wolfram, and LB says that Salty filled her in last night. She wonders when the funerals are going to be, and SeaBoy says that the Coroner's Office hasn't yet released the bodies, they are still investigating the "suspicious circumstances" surrounding their deaths. LB asks what that means, and SeaBoy says that he really doesn't know. They sit in silence for a moment, then LB asks him if he's been up to see Shrub since he's been here. He says that he did, once, but that it was too wierd to see her lying like that. He sobs, saying that he doesn't want that to be the last memory he has of Shrub. LB rests her hands on his, saying that she knows what he means. Suddenly, Wolfram appears on the other side, excitedly saying to SeaBoy that he has a plan. SeaBoy whirls around, telling Wolfram that this isn't the time. LB looks on quizically, asking SeaBoy who he's talking to. SeaBoy turns back, forcing a smile, saying that it's nothing. Wolfram continues to urgently-pester SeaBoy, repeatedly saying that he knows how to bring him back. SeaBoy gets annoyed, and tells Wolfram to go away, to come back in a little while. LB looks confused and slightly-worried, and slowly backs away from the bed, mumbling something about "the nurse".

At AngelX's offices, Amber strolls in, greeted by Phaedra, who's sitting at the front desk. They hug, and Phaedra mentions that she heard Amber was back, but she hadn't seen her around. Amber says that she's been lying low, but that she's ready to get back into civilisation once again. She smiles, and asks if ABM is around. Phaedra's smile instantly fades, and she grumps that ABM's in his office. She continues to prattle on, saying how the office *was* hers, but she was turfed out for their new boss, as Amber walks away, down the corridor. She eventually reaches ABM's office, and after a moment of hesitation, knocks. ABM calls out for whoever it is to come in, and Amber opens the door. When he sees her, he stops what he's doing (unloading some files into a filing cabinet), and smiles warmly. She says that she'd been meaning to call, but felt that it was best to just get it over and done with. He says that he missed her, and the two hug. He asks her how she's been, and Amber replies that she's been doing OK. She motions around his office, and points out that he's obviously doing very well for himself since they last spoke, and ABM, somewhat embarrased, murmers a confirmation, until he brings it back to the happy, asking her why she's back. Amber sits down, and says that that's one of the reasons she's come to see him. ABM goes round to the other side of the desk, asking if it really wasn't just for the sparkling charm, wit and conversation. Amber says that it was that too, but that she has a problem. ABM looks concerned, and asks Amber what she means. She says that she's left uni for the semester, but she doesn't continue, saying that he'll think its really lame. ABM tells her that he won't, and that she should remember who she's talking to before she mentions lame. Amber laughs, and continues. She says that some guy, a part-time professor, began sending her notes, and suchlike, and pretty soon he was full on following her. She was getting seriously wigged out, so she dropped out and came back here. Only she thinks he's followed her here. ABM asks if she's sure, and Amber says that she isn't entirely, but that she's been sensing another presence sometimes, when she's alone. She paces, and goes to the window. Out the window, she can see into the main reception - where Phaedra is talking to the man from the pharmacy. She gasps, and, panicking, turns to ABM, telling him that now she's sure, because he's here. ABM asks where, and she points to the reception desk. ABM quickly runs out of his office, and down the hall, only to see the swing doors close, with no man in sight. Phaedra looks at him oddly, asking him what he's doing. He storms up to her, asking her who she was talking to just then. She snots that it's none of his business, then turns to her computer. He slams his fist on the disk, then walks back to his office.

At Gemma's restaurant, the place is closed, although Gemma is there, moving some tables to one side. There's a knock on the door, and she sees Salty standing there, with a huge folder. Gemma lets her in, and they greet each other, Gemma asking Salty if she brought the sketches with her. Salty gestures to the folder, jokingly-asking if it's invisible or something. Gemma closes the door, locks it again, and they couch down in the middle of the restaurant floor, with Salty opening her folder up.

Back at the hospital, SeaBoy is talking to Wolfram. Wolfram has finished telling SeaBoy his plan, who is looking confused. He doesn't understand why this other body will work, when his own body didn't, when both are in similar conditions. Wolfram says that his own body was beyond repair, but that the new one isn't, it just needs an injection of life, that's all. SeaBoy says that he still doesn't understand, and he's not sure that he wants to go through with it. He begins to say that he really doesn't "want to subject...", but is cut off mid-sentence by Veggieburger, who is approaching SeaBoy's bed followed by Ginger Pig. She says that LB voiced some concerns over SeaBoy's health, and GP is here to allay those concerns. Wolfram fades away, as SeaBoy asks why they needed GP, she's a psychiatrist. As he says it, he catches on, and matter-of-factly states that he doesn't need a shrink. Veggie says that it's just to be on the safe side, and that all they need to do is talk. GP sits down next to SeaBoy, and asks him how he's been feeling about the explosion about Caritas. SeaBoy sighs heavily, and lies back in his bed.

ABM and Dandy are talking in her office. He says that all he needs Dandy to do is to trail him, and apply some pressure. Dandy smirks, saying that she loves the "pressure" part. He tells her not to go too far though, he promised Amber that they'd just scare the guy off. Dandy asks why Amber doesn't want to go through more official channels, and ABM says that she feels stupid for being worried. Dandy says that if some creepy professor followed her across the country, she'd be out of her mind by now. ABM says that Amber's always been one to downplay a situation, and she doesn't like to cause hassle for anyone. ABM continues, saying that however, he has no problem causing a ruckus, especially for Amber. Dandy asks how come he's so eager to put himself out for here, and ABM says that when nobody else took a chance on him when he first arrived, Amber gave him a job - and a shoulder to lean on. She was the only reason he survived those first few months readjusting to live on a new Board, and he will always be grateful for that. From the doorway, Stormy makes mock-gagging noises, saying that ABM sounds like a Hallmark card. Dandy asks Stormy if she has a reason for being here, and Stormy says that she just wanted to see how they were settling in. Dandy again asks Stormy what she's doing here, and Stormy just laughs, saying that AngelX wanted her to make sure you guys weren't up to anything nefarious. Anymore, anyway. ABM snarks that when AngelX asked Stormy to do that, he's sure she meant to do it without their knowledge, and that maybe Stormy isn't cut out for the spy game. Stormy pouts, then walks away. ABM turns back to Dandy, saying that everything would be a lot easier if people would get off their case. Dandy says that there isn't a hope in hell of that happening, and then switches back to their original conversation, asking him when he'd like her to "apply the pressure". Dandy winks as she says this, and ABM smirks. He gets up, closes the door, and tells her that first, she has to take a nooner. And that's an order.

At Gemma's, she and Salty are surrounded by designs and sketches, with three distinct piles having been made. Salty asks Gemma for the final verdict on the one she's holding in her hand, and Gemma says to put it in the "possible" pile. Salty places it in the pile of sketches next to her, and remarks that the "definetly" pile is a lot bigger than the other two. She says that Gemma's gonna have to finalise a decision soon, otherwise Salty won't have enough time left to get the contractors in and start work. Gemma says not to worry, they'll push back the reopening if they have to. Salty asks Gemma if she can afford to do this, that this renovation is already going to cost her quite a lot, considering the size of the place. Gemma says that she's been a careful saver over the years, and if she has to stay closed for a little bit longer, she can manage. Salty shrugs, and picks up another drawing, asking Gemma what she thinks of this one.

At the hospital, SeaBoy and GP are still talking, with Veggie sitting the background. GP is asking SeaBoy why he's so insistent that Wolfram isn't dead, and SeaBoy tries to explain that Wolfram's been speaking to him from beyond, but stops, realising that it sounds stupid and desparate. GP points out that SeaBoy lost a very important person in that explosion, and he's probably suffering from "survivor guilt". SeaBoy snarks a "whatever" back at her, but he's given up arguing. GP turns to Veggie, and says she's going to prescribe Dymazopol, to help him sleep better, and to repress REM sleep. SeaBoy asks if that won't affect him oddly, but GP says that there are no known long-term effects of the drug. SeaBoy says that he really doesn't need any drugs, he's perfectly sane. GP smiles, and says that she's sure he believes that, then gets up to leave. As she does so, she gives Veggie a slip of paper, on which it tells her to slip the Dymazopol into his saline drip, as he obviously won't take the drug voluntarily. Veggie looks up at her, and mouths "Isn't that wrong?", and GP whispers back at Veggie to grow a pair, and do what's best for the patient. Veggie crumples the slip of paper, and throws it in the bin. SeaBoy is watching this, surreptiously, and as Veggie and GP exit, he runs to the bin, and reads the crumpled paper. He throws it back in his bin, and calls out to Wolfram, saying that its now or never.

At Morgain's house, she comes into the living room with a tray of herbal tea, and sets it down on the table. Dandy and Amber both take a mug, and Morgain takes the third, swallowing two pills before drinking. Dandy asks what she's taking, and Morgain says that it's just advanced painkiller for her back problems. She asks Dandy if she's feeling OK since the explosion, and says that if she has any leftover aches or pains, that she should really try this stuff. Dandy says that she didn't think Morgain ever used traditional drug-medication, and Morgain says that everything has it's time and place. Dandy turns to Amber, asking her if she wants to do this. Amber nods, but is clearly worried.

Later on, Amber is walking down a dark street. She is alone, and looking around nervously. She gets a text on her phone - it's Dandy, who says that she's doing a good job. She's not too far behind, not to worry. Amber glances back, and sure enough, there's Dandy, looking "inconspicuous". Just then a man walks onto the street, the same man from the pharmacy, and the office. He moves closer and closer to Amber, until he gets clocked from behind. He falls to the floor, clutching his head, revealing Dandy standing behind him, holding a baseball bat. She scrambles on top of him, hitting him in the stomach, as he tries to beat her off. Dandy yells at him, saying to stay away from Amber, or there'll be some serious pain in his future. Amber looks on, frightened. After a few moments, the man screams out, saying that he's not here to hurt anybody. Dandy stops hitting him, saying that that's not what it looked like from her point of view. The man asks her to look in his wallet, in his jacket pocket. She warily pulls it out, and opens it. Inside, is a calling card - "Camel Investigations". Dandy asks what this is, and the man says that he's Joe Camel, and he's a private investigator. Dandy looks confused, and whirls around, asking Amber what is going on - but Amber has already fled the scene.

Over at Gemma's restaurant, she closes the door, saying goodbye to Salty. She locks it again, and goes to switch the lights off. Just then, a figure comes out from the back room - Toothy. He asks Gemma how the meeting with Salty went, and Gemma says that it went fine. She wants to know if he has her money. He throws a bag into the middle of the restaurant floor, and says that the entire $50,000 is there. He tells Gemma that she should trust him enough by now to know that he isn't playing her. He begins to remind her of the deadline for repayment, but Gemma interrupts, saying that she knows the terms of the loan. Toothy says that as long as she does what is asked of her, there won't be any problems at all, and they can soon end their arrangement together. Gemma says that's fine with her, as Toothy turns to leave the way he came.

At the hospital, SeaBoy warily approaches a door. He looks inside, and doesn't see anybody than the body lying in the bed. He opens the door slowly, takes another look inside, then enters quickly, closing the door. He whispers out for Wolfram, but he doesn't appear. He goes to the edge of the bed, and says that this better work, because he doesn't have much time. He closes his eyes, and repeats the Latin we heard last episode. When he finishes chanting, he opens his eye - but the body hasn't moved. He sighs, whispering to the air that he tried, when suddenly the body sits upright, gasping - it's Shrub. SeaBoy turns, shocked, and with a tear in his eye, calls out Wolfy's name. Shrub takes a moment to take in her surroundings, then looks SeaBoy in the eye, simply saying "thankyou".

Gemma begins the renovations on her restaurant, but finds herself deeper than she thought when Toothy begins making demands on her.

Shrub's miraculous recovery baffles the doctors, but only SeaBoy knows the truth behind the awakening. Can they keep it a secret?

ABM and Dandy confront Amber over her lie, but she confesses an even darker secret - is this the real reason she's back?

Morgain's reliance on the painkillers turns into something more, when she realises she can't go one hour without taking them - is she heading on a downward spiral?

You are one crazy dude!

Besides, this storyline isn't *so* unrealistic... it happened on Days Of Our Lives!! OK, the "Friends" version of that show, and it was somebody elses brain in Drake's body, but essentially it was the same thing.
