EPISODE #26 IN FANFIC

The dining room

Joan is sat with Bea and Helen

Joan - She was running child porn rackets and getting girls hooked on drugs...she was a sick bitch

Bea - And the siege? What happened there? She claims that she had no control over what happened to Myra, it was all the terrorists

Joan shakes her head

Joan - She was in total control and she enjoyed herself too. Ok, those terrorists were maniacs too, especially the one who called himself Ram, he was one hell of a scary man....but Ballinger was just as evil, she ordered Desmond to be shot dead and she loved every second of it...I was shocked by her cold-bloodedness, Desmond didn't deserve that

Bea and Helen give Joan a look

Bea - Come on now Joan, don't tell me you gave a damn about Myra!

Joan - So we didn't get on but I never shot a prisoner in the head in cold blood did I, no matter how much I disliked her I took no pleasure in watching her get killed in that way

Bea- Yeah fair enough. Well thanks for telling me the truth about her Joan, seems like I need to have another chat with our Mrs Ballinger doesn't it

Joan - She will lie her head off, she's a very good actress

Bea chuckles

Bea -  Yes I have noticed that.....

....Cheryl, Kath, Vicki, and Reb are observing

Cheryl - Hey I thought you said those two hated each other?

Reb - They did and now it seems they have called a truce. Makes you sick doesn't it

The garden

Nicholas and Ruth are walking

Nicholas - How much do you know about this Bea Smith?

Ruth - Absolutely nothing, I only met the woman yesterday. All I know is she has an appalling attitude and thinks she is going to throw her weight around with me. She has a bee in her bonnet over a dead friend of hers that I murdered and I must show her whose boss. no one throws their weight around with me 

Nicholas - Well I'll give you a quick history lesson. Smith had a daughter called Debbie, who died in 1977 at the age of 20, she was a drug addict and took an overdose

Ruth has a nasty, sarcastic smirk plastered across her face

Ruth - How truly heartbreaking

Nicholas - And incidentally I wouldn't let on that you are in the drug trade as she hates drug pushers

Ruth - Nicholas darling, I told you, no one is going to intimidate me, besides she may already know by now. Now surely you didn't come in just to tell me about her brat dying in 1977 because that is of no interest to me? Short of digging the body up to torment her with I can't use that

Nicholas is smug 

Nicholas - Come now Ruthy, you know me better than that. Of course, I wouldn't waste your time. What I have to tell you next I'm sure you will find most useful 

Ruth - So let's hear it, the suspense is killing me!

Nicholas - Smith was devastated when Debbie died, totally devastated...she even blamed her husband for Debbie's death and murdered him because of that. Smith thought that once Debbie had died that was the end of it...but Debbie had a secret she kept from Smith
