After Mrs. Madrigal has explained to her lodgers about her previous life and the fact that Mona is her daughter, Mouse is struck down with paralysis which leaves him unable to walk. In bed with his friends around him he writes to his parents, who are anti-homosexuality, outing himself and declaring that, whatever their reaction, he has a new 'family' in Barbary Lane. Mary Ann quits her job after a row with Beachamp whilst Douchebag waits in a telephone kiosk for Beauchamp to ring and instruct her to assault Dede. However the call never comes because Beauchamp has been killed in a road crash in an underground tunnel. Written by don @ minifie-1 See less
