Extraits
Quatre femmes victoriennes s'assoient pour un tea time des plus insolites. Les femmes ont deux choses en commun : leur aversion pour les autres femmes et pour leurs maris. Chaque femme refuse de boire du thé pour une raison ou une autre tout en réfléchissant à des idées telles que le poison, la prison, les piqûres d'abeilles ou la noyade. Mais contre qui complotent-ils : leurs partenaires ou entre eux ?
Le parti est sur le point d'annoncer la candidature de Jason. Jason et Dahlia dansent ensemble, ignorant tous les autres. Enragé, M'dea brise un mur de verre, projetant des fragments sur les invités de la fête.
Mesurer Akakiy devient un ballet de maladresse. Petrovich et sa femme s'interrogent sur ce qui définit vraiment un homme : son apparence
Deux mères dans le public pour un concours de beauté : pendant que la fille d'Eunice joue, Samantha lit un article sur une fillette de 11 ans assassinée.
Beth et Andrew demandent à Antoine qu'ils soient autorisés à partir. Il les gardera là pour toujours car il veut les voir tous devenir des héros et racheter son bannissement initial avec Eugène. Antoine attrape le singe mort et se met à danser avec lui. Une balle explose à travers la fenêtre, touchant Antoine et il tombe au sol.
Malcolm et Eugene dansent, mais on apprend vite qu'ils pratiquent l'anglais. Malcolm demande si Antoine a déjà écrit la lettre de recommandation. Eugène lui dit qu'il n'est pas encore prêt. Malcolm devient frustré.

The older man needs more pers...
