Episode 49

Cilantro and her asssssssissssstant are discussing her grandfather, Magnus, and how he seemed displeased with her design choices for his castle.  Magnus and the assistant come to an agreement that they don't understand one another.  Cilantro tries to abandon the scene.  Further misunderstanding causes Magnus to try to abandon the scene.  Nobody manages to ditch and even more misunderstanding ensues.  The assistant finally manages to abandon the scene, followed quickly by Magnus and Cilantro.

Carla Calavara has returned to Solomon's River!  After wandering the wilds of Wisconsin for six weeks with amnesia, a squirrel's rogue nut caused at least some of her memory to return and vengeance will be hers!  Wandering into Carla's musings are Jervis the Janitor and Mousy Librarian.  Jervis has been "updating" Mousy on her life--saying she was his sex slave.  Carla vows that no one will ever take advantage of those with amnesia again: she will start a support group!  Mousy wants to take revenge against Jervis and tries to choke him to death when she was interrupted by Janice "Peach," Private Detective and Attorney at Law.  Jervis works his passive-aggressive ways and leaves.  Carla, Mousy and Janice all leave to start the support group.

Rajiv risks the wrath of Vishnu when he speaks to Lakshmi, still locked in the coffeehouse basement.  Lakshmi refuses to give Rajiv any more passionate kisses as long as she's locked up.  Rajiv manages to keep Lakshmi trapped while he speaks to Mayor Joe Bob Solomon upstairs.  Rajiv tries to cover for Lakshmi's angry shouts by saying he's working on a ventriloquist act for the Mayor's birthday and competition.  The Mayor has stopped by to let Rajiv know the neighbors have been complaining about strange voices.  Rajiv and Mayor Joe Bob eventually come to a misunderstanding and they are saved by a change of scene.

Angelica, Carla Calavara's former #1 minion, is on the phone and clearly frightened by the idea that Carla is back in town--what if Carla remembers that Angelica lied to her while her memory was gone?  What if Carla remembered that Angelica used her for free laundry folding services?  Carla knocks!  Angelica reluctantly, but obediently, opens the door and is embraced by a happy Carla!  Carla's memory is only coming back slowly and she hasn't yet gotten to the part Angelica played.  Carla reveals her plans for an amnesiac support group and asks about a place to meet.  Angelica helpfully suggests the mines under Solomon's River...

Episode 48

In this episode of Solomon's River,  we find Dr. Scarlett talking with Dr. Turquoise's 140-year-old mother, asking her about her secrets of youth.  Dr. Turquoise arrives with the new "sample" (an unconscious man) to regenerate his Mother, and asks Scarlett to assist.  While conversing, Scarlett discovers that Turquoise and his lab make money through a variety of means, including the selling of plutonium!  


To regenerate his mother, Turquoise takes blood from the "sample" and injects it into his mother. This process is guaranteed to regenerate her by 20 years in fewer than 5 minutes, making her the equivalent of a 120-year-old. In 15 minutes she is 60 years younger! Unfortunately it turns out that the "sample" was apparently brain-deficient, and it is having an adverse effect on Mom!

Meanwhile, in Rajiv's Coffee House, Princess Lakshmi is once again locked in the cellar.  Jervis comes in, toking on a doobie, asking for Rajiv's help; he is concerned about the Bummer Bomber who is running around town blowing things up.  At that moment, Mildred the Mousy Librarian enters, but she has amnesia!!! Jervis recognizes her...she explains a milquetoast man told her they were married and took her to his trailer to have marital relations with her.  Jervis tells her she is not married and shares his ganja with her.  She leaves with him to go to his empty trailer.  Rajiv leaves, dragging a heavy box over the trapdoor.

Across town Magnus is taking a walk, trying to get over the purple decor his granddaughter has saddled him with.  During his walk a "designer" bring over paint samples for Cilantro, including lavender, ochre/orange, and 50 shades of grey for the bedroom.
  • Will Dr. Turquoise's mother recover from her treatment?
  • Will Mildred the Mousy Librarian recover her memory, or will we be able to milk that storyline for a few episodes?
  • What will Rajiv do now that he has Lakshmi in his clutches again?
  • Will Magnus go with puce, or mauve?

Episode 47

Dr. Scarlett and Dr. Turquoise are pondering the missing nurse again when Dr. Turquoise's mutated 140 year old mother enters requesting another treatment--a t-cell grafting from someone fresh and young.  Dr. Scarlett will be along to observe the operation.

Magnus is happy to be alive, but baffled by the newly redecorated castle.  Cilantro and her team have provided a fabulous castle makeover!  Turquoise, trellises and velvet throne/Volkswagen.

As she wanders back through town and the rubble of the library, Princess Lakshmi is simply beside herself with anger that she cannot leave Solomon's River.  A man stands, admiring the destruction.  The princess is even more put out when she realizes she must go back to the only person she knows in town: Rajiv.  She leaves to find the coffeehouse.

Jervis the Janitor, as mellow as can be and sporting his imaginary monkey, also crunches through the rubble and tries to get the vaguely familiar man to imbibe.  Janice White, Detective, comes to interview Jervis.  An assistant sets up a perimeter with yellow "Hazard Zone" tape that will not be used as a tool to add to the plot.  Janice disposes of Jervis' joint and, thusly distracted, the suspicious man is able to sneak away.  Jervis belatedly recognizes the man: the Rude Guy who was talking about bombs... plural!

Meanwhile, as Rajiv looks at his coffeehouse from a different perceptive, Princess Lakshmi reluctantly returns.  Their heated argument about which country has the biggest bomb-wielding idiots turns into a heated lip lock!

  • What diabolical doctoring are Drs. Scarlett and Turquoise exploring?
  • How far will Cilantro and her team go with their flamboyance?
  • Who will stop the Rude Guy with Bombs?  Jervis?  Janice?  Somebody else with a J-name?
  • What will become of Rajiv and Princess Lakshmi's sudden passion?
