J ust as Knottwood pairs skating legends Nancy Hanbro and Lars Lindquist triumphantly finished their routine... |
C.J. McLeod and Athene Degas (Nancy's mother) managed to help a sadly confused Bethany Underfoot into a borrowed coat and hat... |
Soon, the ageing ballerina was tucked safely in bed, blissfully sleeping off her apparent excesses. Peace settled upon the Knottwood night... ...But a couple of hours LATER... Inspector Don pounds relentlessly on Bethany's DOOR... Nancy notices something ALARMING... |
Suddenly, the door lurches OPEN... |
Before she can blink twice, Bethany is being subjected to an earnest INTERVENTION - in STEREO - that quickly sobers her UP! Bethany argues in VAIN. She cannot convince Nancy, and she does not divert Inspector Don from his STERN PURPOSE. |
She argues to NO AVAIL. All is at a standstill.
