- To take her mind off Alex Belle gets her agent to book her and Bambi for a fancy dress party for wealthy diplomats in a country mansion. However she freaks out when a client demands that she lets him tie her up and, with Bambi, flees the house. She rings the ever-dependable Ben to come and collect them and drive them back to London. It is late and she lets him sleep on the sofa but feels mean and invites him into her bed. He does not refuse.—don @ minifie-1
- Belle, tarted up, promises the camera she's not upset about Alex. Work is all she needs. She visits her old madam, Stephanie, looking for a job. She has a job for high class girl, diplomats in the country. Bambi asks to tag along. Stephanie reminds Belle that love is a "marketing ploy." Madam pearls of wisdom.
They arrive at an enormous country estate, where the help is dressed up like 17th century help. They're given period-appropriate tart costumes. Bambi is Little Red Riding Hood and Belle is Rapunzel. A man dressed as Pinocchio tells them the rules of the sex party. Belle drinks copiously. They're supposed to meet their match.
Pinocchio starts hitting on Rapunzel, with a donkey's bray. Somehow she is not seduced. Maybe later.
Meanwhile, Bambi heads off with James Bond, who apparently didn't get the message they're supposed to be fairy tale characters. Something about Pussy Galore.
Lots of sex takes place all over estate. Belle finds the Prince Charming she had her eye on. He's alone. He wants to spend the whole night with her, just her. Even hookers are subject to flattery. She finds a room with him.
He wants her to do what he says. She agrees. She closes her eyes. He traces her body with a silk scarve, then ties her hands with it. She doesn't want to be tied up, she protests sweetly, then more when he insists. He tells her to shut up. He won't untie her hands. He's waited a long time to be with a real "whore." Uh oh, red alert. She finds the door is locked and threatens to scream. He invites her to go ahead, she's still spending the night with him.
Bambi with her Bond hears a scream and knows something isn't right. She takes James' weapon, puts on her Red Riding cape and goes looking for her. She knocks on the door. Belle, tied up on the floor, is gagged and can't fight back. Bambi shoots the door open and rescues Belle.
The not-so-charming Prince tells the Pinocchio organizer that he caught Belle trying to steal from him. That's not cricket, the squires decide, pursue the blighters.
Belle and Bambi race into the woods, still in their costumes. Luckily, Bambi has her cell phone in her boot. But no signal at first. Ben returns her call and she pretends everything is fine and that she just needs directions. They head for the road, in full get-up and start walking.
Belle tells Bambi she thought sex with a stranger might help. With Alex, Bambi guesses. Belle breaks a heel. They pause. Belle admits that she loves Alex and hasn't been in love before. Bambi tells her to tell him how she feels. And then give up.
Up drives Ben. She tells him not to ask. He drives them into the city.
He drops her off and is about to leave when Belle apologizes for being such a liability lately. He comes in for tea. She has a message from Stephanie - not Alex - telling her she owes commission, plus damages.
She tries to tell a joke, but botches it. He can tell she's not OK. She asks him to stay the night, he can sleep on her couch. She goes to bed.
She wakes him up in the middle of the night to tell the joke right. She says she's full of adrenaline, and he takes her arm. She says she's stupid and cold. He reassures her, with a cuddle. Then she kisses him. He pauses, but kisses back. And then the clothes come off.
They wake up in bed together, her head on his shoulder. "Sorry," she says.
Next time: Ben telling Hannah that they are over, Hannah asking Alex if they'd still be together if she wasn't an escort. Hannah deciding to get a job. Alex telling her he's never been so disgusted in his life. Hannah pleading that she's going to keep on making mistakes until she does the one thing that makes him love her again.
