Private Notes
Thirteen rooms, thirteen mysteries. The oddest things happen in Fat Cow. If you want to know why, forget the obvious. Legendary 80s pop icon Rory Toogood dies in the Fat Cow Motel but Toogood had been found dead in Iowa in 1976.
Needless to say, once Jack has disproved the Rory Toogood miracle, the Fat Cow-ians are not happy. Least of all Cassie Brown, savvy Fat Cow Motel proprietor, who's desperate to keep Jack's discovery under wraps.
Humiliated by the lentil incident, Fat Cow butcher Bill Butler leaves town, causing the Fat Cow population to drop by one, bringing it one step closer to extinction.
Jack reveals the identity of the thief. Ronnie and her father make a hasty retreat. And so Fat Cow's population drops by another two - two steps closer to disappearing off the map altogether.
Once Jack has proved that Arthur Cassley's death was accidental, thus enabling his family to collect his life insurance monies, Jack is slightly elevated in the minds of Fat Cow-ians-even in Cassie's.
Cassie revisits Fat Cow history when she contemplates the headless statue. Meanwhile, Jack has uncovered certain information that leads him to believe that Cassie is attracted to him.
Cassie is busy preparing for the annual Miss Fat Cow pageant to be held at Fat Cow Motel when on the eve of the pageant tragedy strikes when Fat Cow's sole policeman is found clubbed to death in the bathtub.
Cassie has another strategy to secure Fat Cow's future-linking it with a prosperous international Sister City. However, when the delegation arrives relations rapidly deteriorate.
Despite being told not to cross Mayfield Road, Jack can't help himself. This is the domain of the self-titled King Roy and Fat Cow-ians know very well to leave Roy to his own devices.
The resident drunk, Axel, claims he was taken by aliens and two bodies are discovered near an anvil, a bag of potatoes and a side of beef. The post mortems reveal that one victim drowned on dry land.
Cassie admits to near-defeat on the issue of saving Fat Cow, which prompts Jack to ask did Fat Cow ever thrive? And if so how? And what, then, caused the decline?
Fat Cow is on its last legs. Literally. The population is down to 4-Jack, Cassie, Martin and Ian. The end is nigh. However, Cassie, in total denial, refuses to accept it.
Cassie, the twins and Jack are about to go their separate ways when they are visited by Frank Merryweather and Trixie Robinson, producers for Hooligan Entertainment.
