Meg agrees to see Miss Schumann to explain about Pixie, but tells Pixie she should prepare herself to lose the job. Joan tells Cass to get used to being on her own as Minnie won't be back in a hurry. When Cass wonders aloud what she means, Phyllis tells the women that Minnie accused Joan of poisoning her. Colleen assures Judy that she will send Minnie for tests, but Judy isn't satisfied and says they could all be dead by the time the results come through. Judy organises a roof-top protest, seemingly having forgotten what happened the last time she did this. Meg fends off reporters wanting the story about Cass killing David Bridges, and makes an incautious remark about Cass only doing what she did to defend herself. Colleen tells Joan she will hear the charges against Minnie herself rather than call in the VJ. Joan stops Bobbie and Cass in the corridor with the laundry skip: she finds Cass's mouse hidden among the laundry and tells her to get rid of it. The women refuse to eat lunch: Joan tastes it to defuse the implication that it is poisoned. Miss Schumann phones Colleen to say she will give Pixie a week's trial. The women prevent Joyce from leaving the dining room while Cass and Judy slip away. Colleen gives Minnie an extra 7 days on her as yet non-existent sentence. Judy and Cass unfurl a banner on the roof reading "KILLER SCREWS MUST GO!" ![]() ![]() ![]()
