I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you and all you know and how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
Off in the night while you live it up I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice
Someone like me, someone like me
Someone like me, somebody
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see
Scene 1
[Camera fades in from opening credits continuing from the last scene of the previous episode]
Zandra: What’s the matter guys…you seen a ghost
Lex: Zandra?
(Lex shakes his head unable to believe what he is seeing)
Lex: But it can’t be, you died!
Trudy: (Smiles) But it is….it’s Zandra
(Lex starts to move towards Zandra and as he reaches her, Zandra quickly raises her hand and slaps him across the face causing him to stop dead)
Zandra: Don’t even think about touching me Lex!
(Zandra turns her attention to the other three Mallrats, ensuring not to make eye contact with Lex again)
Zandra: (Cont) The Amazon’s are now in town and just a little warning to you and all other tribes, no one better mess with my tribe or there will be trouble
[Before any of them have time to reply Zandra turns her back on them and walks back the way she came, her tribe following behind her. Lex goes to follow them but Bray places a hand on his shoulder and shakes his head. Camera zooms in on Lex’s confused face before the scene fades out to black]
Scene 2
[Camera fades in from black and pans around Alice’s bar. Camera cuts inside to show Axel lying on his stomach in the middle of the room with bright coloured paper spread around him and also different coloured pens and highlighters. Camera zooms in on Axel who is writing on a piece of blue paper in bright pink highlighter “buy one get one free”]
Off screen: What are you doing?
(Camera pans out to show Darryl leaning over the bar, his eyes scanning the different “home-made” posters. Axel looks up and smiles at Darryl)
Axel: Getting us more customers by promoting the bar a bit
Darryl: (raises an eyebrow) We’re running Alice’s bar how Alice wanted it run
(Axel pushes himself up into a sitting position)
Axel: Well Alice isn’t here anymore is she, so were running it our way
Darryl: You mean your way? Your cheap tacky way?
Axel: (Holds up one of the posters) There is nothing tacky about this…
Darryl: (Smirks) Apart from you spelt half the words wrong!
(Axel studies the poster and swears under his breath)
Axel: It’s meant to be that way
Darryl: Sure it is!
Axel: I will like to see you do better!
Darryl: (Laughs) I’m an artist of course I can do better!
[In a huff Axel pushes himself up, collects the posters in his arms and storms out of the pub. Darryl rolls his eyes as he moves around the other side of the bar and picks up a pen and a piece of coloured paper and starts to draw a cocktail glass. Camera zooms out before cutting to black]
Scene 3
[The camera fades in from black and we see Apollo walking down the airport corridor, he has a huge smile on his face and seems pleased with himself. As the camera pans around to the front of him, he stops at Dreamer's door and knocks.]
Dreamer (from inside): Come in.
(Apollo smiles as he pushes open the door.)
Apollo: Hi.
Dreamer (smiles): Hi.
Apollo: I... um, I wanted to give you these.
(Apollo reaches behinds his back and pulls out a bunch of yellow daisies. He then holds them out for Dreamer.)
Dreamer (smiles): Thank you. You shouldn't have.
(Dreamer takes a whiff of the flowers and smiles at Apollo like a small giddy child.)
Apollo: I'll. Um, see you later?
Dreamer (nods): Yeah.
[Apollo turns to leave and smiles at Dreamer. Dreamer smiles back at him, and the camera then fades to black.]
Scene 4
[Camera fades back in from black to show Tally spread eagled on her bed with one of her arms hanging over the edge of the bed and slowly swinging back and forth. Someone knocks at the door and Tally doesn’t even stir. The sound of someone entering the room still doesn’t cause her to stir]
Ebony: Tally?
(Tally slowly turns her head to face the new comer)
Tally: Get lost Ebony!
Ebony: Look I’ve come to say sorry…I was out…
Tally: I don’t care Ebony!
Ebony: (getting angry) I’m trying to say sorry
Tally: And I couldn’t care any less
Ebony: (snaps) Fine!!
(Ebony turns to leave but quickly turns back to face Tally)
Ebony: Have you ever wondered why no one notices you? It’s because you spend all your time locked up in your room, people aren’t going to feel sorry for what happened to you for the rest of your life so you best get over it fast!
[Ebony turns on her heels and walks out of the room. Tally watchers her leave before she turns her attention back to the ceiling. Camera zooms in on Tally’s blank expression before cutting to the next scene]
Scene 5
[Camera cuts to the Airport meeting room where most of the Mallrats are gathered. Lex is sat in the corner slowly rocking Theo to sleep, completely lost in his own thoughts. The Mallrats are talking in hushed voices all wondering who the new tribe are. Bray clears his throat as he stands up]
Bray: As you are all aware we went and met with the Amazon tribe and by the looks of it the tribe is mostly made up of girls and it seems they plan to stick around for awhile…
Patsy: Do they look dangerous?
Gel: Do you think they will try and take over the city?
(Bray simply shrugs his shoulders to show that he doesn’t know how to answer the question)
Bray: But there is something else you all need to know about them…their leader…is Zandra
(Lex gets up from his chair and passes Theo to Ryan before he storms out insuring to slam the door shut behind him. Ryan looks up from Theo confused)
Ryan: You mean Zandra…as in our Zandra
Gel: (shakes her head) Didn’t she die years ago…I remember Lex telling me about it!
KC: (Nods) Yea she died on Eagle Mountain!
(Trudy stands up and holds out her arms to quiet the others down)
Trudy: I swear to you guys now that Zandra is alive…just as alive as we are…and lets just say she didn’t seem impressed to see us!
[Camera pans around the room as talk turns to eagle mountain and what really happened the day of the explosion. Camera zooms out before cutting to black]
Scene 6
[The camera cuts in from black to show Elissa and Zandra at the office building on the edge of the city. Zandra is sitting outside on the wall, she runs a knife through her hands as the camera pans around to show Elissa walking out of the front entrance towards Zandra, she has a clouded and angry face.]
Elissa: Zandra. We need to talk.
(Zandra glances up at Elissa and rolls her eyes, she says nothing and goes back to looking at the knife.]
Elissa: We really do need to talk.
Zandra: Why?
Elissa: Zandra. How can you expect us to function as a tribe if you keep hiding things from us?
(Zandra gets up and moves so that she is standing face to face with Elissa.)
Zandra: I'll tell you what you need to know, when you need to know it. Okay?
(Zandra goes to push past, but Elissa grabs her arm.)
Elissa (desperately): No! That's not good enough Zandra. We, the tribe... the Amazons need to know everything about the Mallrats and your past with them. Don't you see... that without it. The Mallrats could be the downfall of the Amazons?!
(Zandra shakes her head.)
Zandra: Get lost Elissa. So long as I'm the leader. You'll do what I say... when I say. And I say that you don't need to know anything. Now... get lost!
[Zandra storms off past Elissa, as the younger girl looks hurt and confused and the camera then cuts to black.]

(The camera follows Lori as she walks along the beach. We see that she walks to the end of the beach, near to where the sand dunes move up to the cliffs.)
Lori: I love it so much here. I just wish I didn't have to leave to find my...
(Lori cries out in pain as she falls forward, the camera pans to her foot and we see that her foot is stuck in a hole on the cliffs. Lori tries to pull her foot out but groans in pain.)

[The camera pans to Lori's scared face and then cuts to the next scene.]

[The camera fades in from black to show Zandra in her room, she paces angrily up and down the room, as there is a knock at the door. The camera pans around to show a slave at the doorway.]
Zandra (roars): Get me Blaine! NOW!
(The slave nods and wanders off, closing the door behind him. Zandra continues to pace when there is another knock at the door.)
Zandra: What?
(The door is pushed open and we see Blaine. He nods his head in respect.)
Blaine: You asked for me?
(Zandra nods and pulls Blaine through the door.)
Zandra: Get undressed. Now! I need a release!
(Blaine nods his head, and closes the door behind him, he proceeds to remove his trousers and top, standing in front of Zandra in only his underwear. As the camera pans around we see that Zandra is now under the bed sheets and does not look amused. )

Amber: Bray...
Bray: Mm...
Amber: You have to talk to Rain.
Bray: About what?
Amber (sighs): About Danni.
(Bray frowns as he pulls away from Amber and looks at her as though aliens have just invaded the planet.)
Bray: And why would I want to mention that vengeful cow to my daughter?
Amber: Because Rain doesn't understand why her mother left. She needs her father to sit down and explain it to her.
Bray: But?
Amber: Bray. You have to do this for Rain. Or she'll start to blame herself and its not her fault at all. She needs to know that.
(Amber sighs as Bray nods.)

Harley: Better?
Lori: (Smiles) Much…thank you!

KC (from outside the door): Pats?
(As KC walks in, we see that he spots Patsy and starts to tip toe in order not to wake her. He moves across the room to the crib and he smiles when he sees that his daughter is awake. Reaching into the crib he picks up his daughter and smiles down at her.)

(Lori shakes her head in disgust, as Harley frowns)
Harley: Lori was missing. I went to have a look for her. I found her and brought her back, end of story.
(Jonson's eyes narrow as he glares at the pair of them.)
Jonson: This isn't some holiday camp you know. You can't just storm off whenever you want and do what you want. You need to tell people when you go and do something. We've been worried all day.
Lori: Sorry mum. Next time I go for a walk I'll get your permission.
(Jonson shakes his head and walks off in a huff, as Harley helps Lori hobble to the seating by the camp-fire.)

Ryan: Yeah. One day you'll be a grandfather. Maybe.

Amber: Who are you?
Elissa: Elissa. I'm from the Amazons.
Bray (eyes narrow): Did Zandra send you?
(Elissa shakes her head.)
Elissa: Zandra doesn't know I'm here. I need to know about her involvement with the Mallrats and her past. She won't tell me anything, and I was hoping you would be able to tell me.
(Amber puts her hands on her hips.)
Amber: And why would we do that?

How can you see into my eyes like open doors
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping Somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
wake me up Inside
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
(Camera zooms in on Zandra’s grave as some of the small rocks start to move, as Camera gets nearer the rocks move more freely causing a gap to appear and out from the grave a cut and bloody hand appears reaching out for air)
Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life
(The hand starts to pull of the rocks in a fast movement before another hand reaches for freedom and an ear piecing scream escapes from the gap)
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
I've been living in lie, there is nothing inside
(As the rocks start to roll away, Zandra’s bloody head appears, she is covered in cuts and bruises and has tears rolling down her face. She uses all the strength she has in her body to pull the rest of herself out of the grave before her body gives in and she collapses on the floor in a heap)
Frozen inside without your touch without your love darling
Only you are the life among the dead
(Camera slowly pans out on the scene, as Zandra rolls herself into a ball before the screen starts to fade to black)
All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought without a voice without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life
