With the house being renovated, the Siblings require a temporary place to live, opting for a converted trailer very close to the Stein Household(s).

Dominic headed off to the Rapid Racers Roller Rink and Kara’s first act was to invite Consort to move in. Consort agrees (He initially brought Oberon Summerdream with, though being completely ignored, Oberon quietly left unnoticed at some point).

Dominic installs the equipment from Asland Entertainment into Rapid Racers, saving himself some money in the process.

Prices are set ‘ridiculously cheap’ in an effort to attract as many customers as possible.

The strategy seems to be paying off, with Jules O’Mackey, Mortimer Goth and Pollination Technician #9 Smith all turning up just minutes from the venue being opened.
(Author’s Note: Initially there were a pair of vending machines however EVERYONE simply crowded around them, getting in one another’s way, and not actually generating funds for the business, so they were removed.)

Back at home meanwhile, Kara helps Consort settle in.

Dominic has returned home, and is completely nonplussed to find his sister and Consort Capp, sat in their underwear eating Mac and Cheese.

Consort has many skills, Cooking is not one of them.

In his defence, Kurt Barlow* is actually looking past Kara.
(Author’s Note: With Kurt Barlow having made an on-screen aprearance, the ‘Serial Killer Challenge’ will commence during Round 4.

Awkwardness over, Consort proposes Marriage to Kara, in the Bathroom. She accepts.

Dominic’s business has reached Level 1. Immediately following this however, he promptly falls on his backside while trying to impress Angela Pleasant.

Kara is a bit of an exhibitionist, something which is rubbing off on the previously rather prudish Consort. Poor Dominic did not even have chance to leave the room…
