Series 2 Episode 16 - Now cracks a noble heart

Cheryl is happy at last, but hasn’t reckoned on a lone Wolf with big plans.

Fleas!

Thanks for the mattresses, Eric, but no thanks. For Judd, he’s in a meant-to-be situation. Here is he with his police payout, and here’s the empty house. The solution is obvious – he’ll buy the new furniture. Cheryl caves. Alright, but she’ll pay him back. No protests from Van, Aurora, Loretta, and Pascalle – they think it’s really mint of Judd. Eric is left wounded.

But fortunately he finds a sympathetic ear. It’s Wolf and he wants details about affairs in the West home.

There’ll be sex, drugs and sausage rolls, in any order apparently.Bruce

Jethro enters his office with Hayden only to find… Wolf. After dealing a blow for each of his daughters to Hayden who takes his cue to leave, Wolf turns to his son. He wants the money – the $10,000 that Jethro invested. And he needs it today, in cash, in this envelope. Just follow these easy instructions…

Back at the West house, the phone rings. Judd answers. It’s Wolf who tells Judd to meet him at the Rusty Nail in 10 minutes. If Judd turns up, Wolf gives him his word that it is the last he’ll see of him. Cheryl doesn’t want Judd to go, but Judd is determined.

Judd arrives at the bar and looks around. He spots Wolf – sitting alone up at the bar. All he wants is for Judd to make sure he looks after Cheryl. Tell her no hard feelings.

The next day, Cheryl is determinedly upbeat, putting her shopping bags in into her car when she’s accosted and forced into her car by a man in a beanie. It’s Wolf. He speeds her out of the car park.

They arrive at a secluded, romantic spot and he tells her he had to see her – and he knows she wanted to see him. Cheryl and his kids mean more to him than anything in the world.

His words affect Cheryl, they certainly do. But after the longest time, she turns to him and says no. She can’t run away with him. And now she has to go. He tells her – whatever he does, it’s because of her – and she should remember that.

At Van and Aurora’s engagement party Cheryl lets the weight fall from her and dances with Judd.

At the police station, Hickey comes into see Grisham. Wolfgang West is here to see him. He wants to turn himself in.

The next morning, Judd goes to his car in the driveway on a milk run. The door is open and on the seat is a bulky envelope. He picks it up to find a serious amount of cash inside. Suddenly, cars converge on the West house and cops beeline for Judd.

As Cheryl watches Judd get into the police car, she knows that Wolf is behind this. This is his revenge – and he did it to get at her.

Meanwhile, Pascalle is determined to reconstitute her virginity, but man, that surgery is expensive. When Hayden offers her a part in the film he’s making with Loretta, Pascalle reckons it’ll be the perfect way to make some extra cash. That is, until she learns what sort of film it is. Porn.

But Bruce is serious about her, so she has to be serious about him. She tells Hayden she’ll do it and he agrees – she’ll be great.

Loretta has serious objections. Hayden assures her it’s just business. Pascalle is the most attractive option they have – and he is the producer. Unfortunately, Loretta realises, this is true.

Munter in the meantime, fears for Van. Once married, chicks turn from sirens to bossy harpies. Seemingly as proof, Aurora instructs Van to get a stereo for the party. He can withdraw some of their savings.

Van is determined to do as his beloved has instructed – until Munter points out that with this money they could get like a really humungous deal of Te Puke Thunder..which would be great for a party…

At the engagement party, Pascalle is horrified to find the Janet Frame Rest Home stereo pumping the party grooves. Van and Munter insist that they plan to return it in the morning – when Aurora enters. Van is forced to admit he bought some dak – Te Puke Thunder. Why didn’t Van say so and if he’s bought them dak – where’s hers?

And their happiness seems complete, apart from a freaky moment when the cops turn up. But weirdly enough, they haven’t come about the stereo, they’ve come to arrest Judd.
