Episode 110



The last time lawyer Mr. Ylung was in to see Dr. Scarlett, he was given six months to live, but today is a “business matter”.  He brings cash from Mrs. Rajiv to get a “certain result” in the blood test—that Rajiv (and not Rojav) is the father of her new son.  Dr. Scarlett agrees to the deal and attributes Mr. Ylung’s living to his superb doctoring skills.  After Mr. Ylung leaves, Dr. Scarlett has a bit of trouble reading the writing on the instructions.

Rajiv tries to explain himself to Princess Lakshmi, but Mrs. Rajiv comes upon them and strong-arms the Princess whose arms snap like twigs.  She hobbles off to the hospital and promises to sue them.  Mrs. Rajiv lets slip that she can’t be sued because she’s not in the country legally.

Meanwhile, in a strange temple, an acolyte asks the High Priestess Evaleene what they all should do.  The High Priestess shows them how to dance and they call out, “All hail Evaleene!”  They will do whatever she says, though she doesn’t say much.  Two of the cult members discuss their experience with other cults, like Scientology.  The acolytes will go spread the word of the High Priestess Evaleene to the town of Solomon’s River.

Tripp is back with his mother Angelica.  The bar Tripp used to tend is gone, and the caves have been exploded.  Boss Carla Calvera is assumed blown up.  They are free to do what they want, but what do they want?  Tripp has been on an epic quest and feels like a phoenix.  Angelica suggests robberies… or higher-class extortion… They decide to squat in Magnus Aversson’s mansion.

Mrs. Rajiv has gotten the test results from Dr. Scarlett and she opens them at home.  The envelope unseals… Mrs. Rajiv’s face gives nothing away.

  • Did Dr. Scarlett give the actual test results or the paid-for test results?
  • Does paying for the test results mean that Mrs. Rajiv knows the baby is not Rajiv’s?
  • Who is the High Priestess Evaleene, and what is her cult up to?
  • How long will Tripp and his mother be able to squat in Magnus’ mansion, and will that be enough to satisfy their need to do bad things?

Find out the answer to these questions and more as we make it all up in, Solomon's River!
