Meanwhile, Bea goes ape when Monkey goes missing, until Tom discovers that he has been donated to a charity worker, from whom he must steal him back. When the Chadwicks regroup at Al's house to toast friends and family, Tom is looking for the toilet when he discovers Al's office, where he has built a model to show that President Kennedy was killed by a conspiracy and that the moon landings were faked. On the eve of his return home, Tom sleeps with Ally--and overcomes his fear of the cat--and the next day he is reluctant to leave her to return to England. Written by don @ minifie-1 See less
