Episode 22

When Imogen arrives for work the following afternoon (Tuesday), she finds Bridget at the front counter.
Bridget: Imogen, you'll be making the pizzas again today.
Imogen: Great. I can't wait to get started.
Bridget: Just go in. I'll be there in a tick.
*Imogen enters the back kitchen and sees a ring lying on the counter*
Imogen: Who's ring is this?
Bridget: Oh, it's mine. I took it off when I was making the pizzas this morning.
*Imogen gets an idea*
Imogen: Do you want me to give it back to you?
Bridget: No. I'll get it in a minute.
*Imogen takes Bridget's ring and slips it into her pocket*
Imogen: *to herself* No, you won't.
(Later, Imogen has just about finished her shift when Bridget approaches her looking frantic.)
Bridget: Where's my ring?
Imogen: It was on the counter, wasn't it?
Bridget: It's not there anymore. I looked for it everywhere. Oh dear, I hope I can find it.
Imogen: Don't worry. I'm sure you'll find it.
*Bridget sighs sadly*
Imogen: Come here.
*As Imogen hugs Bridget, she lets out a smirk*
(Before Imogen starts work the next day, she spends the morning with Christina.)
Christina: So, how's your new job?
Imogen: It's fun. *laughs*
Christina: Really?
Imogen: Oh, yeah. I'm working with Bridget Cameron.
Christina: I don't know her.
Imogen: She was my "friend" in high school.
Christina: I don't like the way that sounded. Was this Bridget a fake friend?
Imogen: *lying* Yeah. She was a total bitch.
Christina: I feel sorry for you.
Imogen: You don't have to. *shows Bridget's ring to Christina*
Christina: Who's ring is that?
Imogen: Bridget's. I nicked it as I was making pizzas yesterday.
Christina: *laughs* Bad girl!
Imogen: Plus, I stole some money out of the till on my first day.
Christina: No way! *looks amazed*
*They enter Cash Converters*
Imogen: Excuse me, sir?
Male Employee: Yes?
Imogen: How much can I get for this ring?
*After inspecting the ring, the employee goes back to Imogen*
Male Employee: We'll give you $900.
Imogen: Excellent.
*Imogen takes the cash before leaving the store*
Christina: I can't believe you actually sold the ring.
Imogen: Spending money for Sydney, baby! *smiles*

When Imogen arrives for work, she finds Bridget in tears.
Imogen: Hey. What's the matter?
Bridget: *sobbing* M-my ring. It's b-been s-stolen.
Imogen: Oh no.
Bridget: How could t-this h-happen.
*Another staff member, Jill, goes over to them*
Jill: Imogen, go work on the pizzas. I'll look after Bridget.
Imogen: Stay strong, Bridget.
*As Bridget continues to sob, Imogen enters the kitchen and smirks*
Imogen: *to herself* The money was worth it.
*Jill enters the kitchen*
Jill: Imogen, you were the last person in the kitchen yesterday. Did you take Bridget's ring?
Imogen: I was making pizzas, Jill. And besides, why would I steal a ring?
*Jill looks at Imogen suspiciously*
Jill: I'm keeping my eye on you. *walks off*
*Imogen looks enraged*

Episode 23

That night, Imogen is complaining to Christina about Jill.
Imogen: Can you believe that she had the nerve to say that she's keeping an eye on me? All I did was get revenge on Bridget and she has to stick her nose in?!
Christina: Is she the boss or something?
Imogen: The manager. She's a real snob.
Christina: I wouldn't worry about it, Imogen. She's just trying to scare you.
Imogen: You reckon?
Christina: Yeah. Hey listen. Why don't you go get a good nights sleep and go to work tomorrow. If this woman asks about the ring, just maintain your innocence.
Imogen: I will do that. Thanks for listening to my problems, Christina. I really appreciate it.
Christina: No worries.
*Once Imogen leaves Christina's flat, the latter makes a phone call*
Christina: Uh, yes. Hello, I need a favour. There's a bitch that I need sorting out. Her name's Jill. She works at Pizza Patrol. Send some of the girls down so they can have a word with her. Thanks, I owe you one. Have a good night. Alright, bye.
*Christina hangs up the phone and smirks*
Christina: No one messes with my friends.
*Later, Jill is locking up the store when three women around 18-20 years-old approach her*
Pandora: You Jill?
Jill: Yeah.
Luna: Sissy?
Sissy: Get her!
*Pandora, Sissy and Luna start beating Jill up*
Jill: STOP!
Sissy: Luna, the scissors!
*Luna hands Sissy the scissors*
Sissy: Pandora, hold her down!
*Pandora holds Jill down as Sissy begins to cut her hair*
Pandora: This is what you get for messing with the wrong people!
Luna: Exactly!
*After Sissy cuts Jill's hair, they beat her up some more*
Police officer: HOLD IT!
Sissy: Police!
Pandora: Run for it, girls!
*The girls run off as Jill lays bleeding and holding her head*
Policeman: Are you alright, love?
Jill: My hair...
Policeman: I'll get help for you.
*Jill sobs as the policeman rings for an ambulance*

News of the beating airs on the morning news the next day (Thursday). Imogen listens to it on the radio.
Female newsreader: Police are searching for three women after a worker at Blair Athol's Pizza Patrol was violently assaulted late last night. 21 year-old Jill Harrison had some parts of her hair cut off during the assault and is currently in a stable condition at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. One of the attackers is described as being 173cm tall with long blonde hair and heavy make-up.
Imogen: *to herself* Who would do such a thing?
*Later, Imogen catches up with Krista, Whitney, Jen and Sonya at their favourite cafe in the CBD*
Whitney: Did you hear what happened last night, Immy?
Imogen: About my workmate being bashed? Yes, I did.
Krista: Aren't you scared to go back to work now that she got beaten up?
Imogen: A bit, but I should be okay.
Sonya: Are you sure?
*Imogen nods her head*
Jen: I just hope that she's okay.
Imogen: Same.
*Whitney, Krista, Jen and Sonya don't look too convinced*
Imogen: What?
Sonya: Oh, nothing.
Imogen: Seriously, spill the beans. We're best friends here. We don't keep secrets from each other.
Krista: Ever since you've hung around that Christina chick, you've been behaving odd.
Imogen: Is this about the cocaine I snorted that night at the club?
Whitney: It's not just that, Immy. You're being dishonest.
Imogen: How am I being dishonest?
Whitney: My cousin happened to see you at Cash Converters yesterday and he told me that he seen you sell a ring.
Imogen: So?
Whitney: So, the ring doesn't belong to you.
Sonya: And don't try and deny it because Whitney's cousin doesn't lie. How could you, Imogen?! Resorting to steal something that doesn't belong to you.
*Imogen is livid*
Imogen: I didn't steal NOTHING!
Krista: That's a load of crap and you know it! That ring belonged to Bridget, not you!
Imogen: How did you know it was Bridget's?
Whitney: My cousin is dating her and he got that ring for her birthday, you thieving bitch!
Jen: Imogen, we're very disappointed in you.
Imogen: I don't need this. I'm getting out of there!
Whitney: Yeah, that's right! Walk away when the going gets tough!
Imogen: Get f*****, Whitney! You're an even bigger traitor than I thought!
Whitney: AT LEAST I DON'T STEAL OTHER PEOPLE'S PROPERTY!
*Imogen storms out of the cafe*
Krista: Whitney, I've never seen you this fired up before.
Sonya: Yeah.
Jen: What happened to the Imogen that we knew and loved?
Whitney: She no longer exists. And I blame one person for her turning out like this.
Krista/Whitney/Jen/Sonya: Christina!
(When Imogen arrives at Pizza Patrol that afternoon, she finds Bridget in the kitchen.)
Imogen: Hi, Bridget.
*Bridget walks over to her. She doesn't look too happy*
Imogen: Where am I working today?
Bridget: Nowhere! Because you're fired!
Imogen: What? *looks shocked*
Bridget: Don't give me that innocent act. My boyfriend happened to see you sell my ring at Cash Converters! Luckily, he was able to buy it back and give it back to me. But Imogen, I really didn't expect you to steal. I thought we were friends.
*Imogen feels remorseful*
Imogen: I'm sorry...
Bridget: And the money that went missing in the till? Did you take that as well?
Imogen: *lying* No.
Bridget: Don't lie!
Imogen: Fine, I took it.
Bridget: I would normally press charges, but I'm not going to. But if you think I'll ever forgive you for this, you're mistaken. It's going to take a long time for me to forgive you. I feel so betrayed!
Imogen: I said that I'm sorry.
Bridget: You can say sorry all you want, but the only reason you're sorry is because you got caught out. I don't think you're genuinely sorry.
Imogen: Well, I am.
Bridget: Just go, Imogen. I'm sick of looking at you.
*Imogen walks out of the store in tears*

NEXT TIME
- Imogen tells Whitney that she wants nothing to do with her
- Krista has a heart-to-heart with Imogen

Episode 24

That night, Imogen is laying on her bed, crying her eyes out. The minute she left Pizza Patrol, she returned home and locked herself in her bedroom for hours. She now no longer had a job and it was all her fault. No one rang her either.
*Suddenly, Imogen's mobile started ringing. She looked at it to see that Whitney was ringing her.*
Imogen: You can get stuffed, bitch!
*Imogen declines the call!*
Imogen: That'll teach you to stab me in the back!
*Imogen then gets a text message from Whitney and reads it out aloud*
Imogen: "Can we talk? I'm sorry that I lost my temper, but I had a good reason to. I'd like to work things out with you, Immy. You're my best friend and I don't want to lose our friendship because of your mistake." Not talking to you...EVER!
*Suddenly, Imogen's door starts knocking. She opens it to find Krista standing there*
Imogen: What do you want, Krista?
Krista: Can't I see my best friend and check to see if she's alright?
Imogen: At 10 o'clock?
*Krista checks her watch*
Krista: Imogen, it's 8:30.
Imogen: I feel like I've been crying for hours on end. Bridget hates me now and it's all my fault.
Krista: Imogen, you brought that on yourself. You can't steal someone's ring and get away with it.
Imogen: I know. I blew it. But Whitney, I no longer want nothing to do with her.
*Krista looks shocked*
Krista: Why's that?
Imogen: She's a backstabbing bitch, that's why.
Krista: You're overreacting just a little bit. Whitney's cousin did the right thing by telling her and Bridget the truth about your wrongdoing.
Imogen: After everything that I've ever done for Whitney, she goes and calls me a 'thieving bitch'?!
Krista: I'll admit that was a bit harsh, but I've never seen Whitney lose it like that.
Imogen: Neither have I. She was so meek and mild in high school.
Krista: Give it some thought, Imogen.
Imogen: I've already made up my mind, Krista. Whitney is out as far as I'm concerned. I'll still hang out with you along with Sonya and Jen, if they still want to be my friend.
Krista: Sonya and Jen are still your friends. They're just disappointed in you.
Imogen: I'm glad to hear that.
Krista: Come here.
*Imogen goes over to Krista and hugs her*
Imogen: Thanks for checking up on me.
Krista: You're welcome, Imogen. I'm always here for you because we're best friends.
*Imogen manages to smile*

The next day (Friday), Imogen is at Westfield Marion having a day out to herself. She really needed to get out of the flat.
*Imogen happens to see Whitney come out of BIG W with her cousin, Gavin*
Whitney: *calling out* Imogen!
*Imogen blatantly ignores Whitney and just keeps on walking*
Whitney: Immy!
*Imogen pretends not to hear and walks into the distance*
Gavin: What's her problem?
Whitney: I think she's mad at me, Gavin.
Gavin: Because I saw her sell Bridget's ring? That's pretty childish.
Whitney: If I find her later, I'll be having a word to her.
*Whitney manages to find Imogen in the food court eating a chicken wrap some 20 minutes later*
Whitney: Imogen, I'm glad I found you.
Imogen: What the hell do you want?! I'm trying to eat!
Whitney: I know you're angry with me about yesterday, but I really want you to hear me out.
Imogen: Not interested. Goodbye! *waves her hand at Whitney in a dismissive manner*
*Whitney looks hurt*
Whitney: I can't believe you're acting like this!
Imogen: I bet you couldn't wait to tell Bridget that I stole her ring!
Whitney: What you did was wrong, Immy! Don't turn around and act like you're the victim in all this because you're not!
Imogen: Think what you like! I want nothing more to do with you! You're nothing but a traitor and a bitch!
*Whitney gasps in disbelief*
Imogen: Oh and by the way, good luck ever getting invited to anything that I organise!
*Imogen gets up from the table and storms off, leaving Whitney upset and confused at this outburst*
Whitney: Immy, wait!
*Imogen just continues to storm off*
(When she returns to the flat, Imogen is confronted by Pauline.)
Imogen: Really?! Can this day get any worse that what it already is?!
Pauline: Imogen Mary Miller, I am VERY disappointed in you! Why on earth would you resort to stealing?! I don't understand!
Imogen: Well, you don't have to. I have nothing to say to you, Mum.
*As Imogen goes shut the door in her mother's face, she discovers that Pauline has her foot blocking it*
Imogen: Uh, move!
Pauline: I'm not going anywhere until I find out why you stole that ring!
Imogen: JUST GET OUT!
*Imogen closes the door and locks it before breaking down in tears*

NEXT TIME
- Pauline tries to get a counsellor to visit Imogen, without little success
- Whitney is devastated by the loss of Imogen's friendship
