Cleo hatches a plan to escape
It’s been more than a year since Abe kidnapped Cleo and has kept her locked in a room off the side of his apartment.
With everyone in the village believing that Cleo has been in Bali the entire time, Abe’s plan to keep her isolated has worked, however Joel has found himself becoming increasingly suspicious.
In an attempt to find out the truth, Joel tries to contact his ex-fiancée Cleo to no avail. However, it seems it could just make Abe and Cleo discuss the next course of action.
Cleo makes the suggestion that it could be time for her to end her holiday in Bali and come home so that she and Abe can finally be together – despite the fact he’s engaged to Peri.
However, Abe quickly puts a stop to the idea, noting that Cleo wouldn’t cope with what the villagers would say about her killing Marie (Rita Simons) – a notion that Abe has fed Cleo, despite the fact that she is very much alive.
When Abe goes out – and ultimately finds Leela – it’s Cleo singing in the apartment that causes concern. As Joel makes his way into Price Slice, the store below, he hears singing, and immediately recognizes Cleo’s voice. Heading up to the flat, Joel bangs on the door, shouting out for an answer, which leaves Cleo terrified.
