Digital Lane | Wednesday 11 December | Winter Block
Gracie is lying in her bed with tears in her eyes. She rolls over and looks at the picture of her and her dad, before wiping away her tears and getting up out of bed.
Jasmine hands Elena a cup of coffee as they both make their breakfast. Jasmine asks Elena about her life before they met each other. Elena goes quiet and is saved when there is a knock on the door. Jasmine goes to answer the door and Elena rushes up the stairs. Jasmine is confused to see a distressed Wendy at her door. “Look, you know you’re the last person I would want to go to for help. However, I need help and no one else is around.” Wendy tells her. Jasmine tells her she’d rather not before slamming the door in her face and smirking.
Wendy looks around and sees a calm Christine putting trash into her outside bin. She runs down the lane to ask her for help. Christine asks her what she needs help with and Wendy tells her Stephanie needs some help with the Christmas lights today and she can’t do it as she is visiting Frankie, who is still in a coma. Christine sighs and says she will help Stephanie for her and smiles. Wendy hugs Christine and runs back down the lane.
Luisa hands Rose her school bag and tells her to have a nice day. She then gives a passionate kiss to Mark in front of Peter, who looks at them both with jealousy. Mark walks out and walks to the school with Rose. Luisa turns around to see a jealous Peter. “I want you gone tonight. No later.” She tells him before walking upstairs.
Gracie nervously comes down the stairs, shaking. Sandy notices her daughter’s shakiness and asks her what is wrong. Gracie looks over and stares coldly at Dwayne. Sandy becomes suspicious and asks him what did he do. Dwayne gets angry and tells her that he did nothing wrong. Sandy looks back at Gracie and demands answers on what is going down. Brad slowly comes down the stairs but Sandy ignores him as she stares out Gracie. “I had an abortion alright!” Gracie shouts before running back up the stairs. Sandy turns around and asks Dwayne if he forced her into this. Dwayne looks down at the floor. Sandy walks up to him and slaps him, before demanding he packs his bags and goes.
Maria and Jamie walk down the lane holding hands and giggling. Stephanie glares at her son as she hangs up the Christmas lights. “If I had it my way there would be no way she would be allowed any where near my son.” Stephanie tells Christine and Elaine as they hand her wires. Elaine tells her to not even start her on son’s girlfriends, before looking over coldly at Jasmine, who is looking out her window.
Dwayne comes out of the Foster home with an overnight bag packed. Sandy stands at her front door with her arms folded. The housewives drop everything and go over to Sandy to get the gossip. Sandy tells them everything. They are stunned and offer their support. Stephanie tells them that she needs to get back to doing the lights and everyone goes to help her.
Luisa comes out of the bathroom in a towel and is taken aback when she sees Peter was waiting for her in her bedroom. She demands that he leaves but he doesn’t say anything. He gets up off the bed and grabs Luisa by the waist and begins to passionately kiss her. Luisa stops and looks into his eyes, before going in for another kiss.
Darkness falls and the housewives stand looking proudly at their work as Jamie puts the finishing touches on the Christmas tree next to Christine’s home. Stephanie taps the microphone on the stage in the middle of the lane. Residents come flooding out of their homes to see the switch on. Luisa and Peter come out of the Young house and Luisa has a facial expression of regret on her face as she joins her neighbours. The Bolen sisters stand bored as they wait for the lights to come on. An emotional Sandy comes out with her family and wait for the lights to be switched on. “Okay. Is everyone ready? 3….2….1…. CHRISTMAS!” Stephanie shouts as she presses the big red button. The neighbours stand fascinated by all the colours and lights shining. Everyone forgets about their personal problems for a moment..
Christine spots a hooded figure putting something in her letterbox before running off. She rushes over and unlocks her door and goes in. There is a note lying on the floor. She opens it up and it says in capital letters,
‘I’M COMING FOR YOU.’ Christine looks up nervously and runs her hand through her hair with a scared expression on her face.
