I Can Hear Their Thoughts — Episode 2: Her Best Friend Ordered Me

Episode 2 opens with a ping and a scandal in the making. Melissa places an order for condoms, plus a note: "Bring yourself too." Lucas knows that if Barbara turns up as well, his head may not survive the night. He walks into a neon-lit club, and of course both friends are waiting. Barbara folds her arms and asks if he shouldn't be working. Her inner voice says something else entirely: stay, please stay.

It was his last drop of the shift, so the pair drag him onto the dance floor, one on each side, two voices in his head fighting over whose hands get to be on him. The nosebleed returns and he flees to the hallway. Barbara follows with a cover story: "Mel sent me. To check you're not dying." Then she kisses him, and in her thoughts guides his hand higher. Out loud? "That didn't happen." She leaves, still wishing he'd come over tonight.
