I Can Hear Their Thoughts — Episode 5: Her or Me?

Episode 5, the finale of I Can Hear Their Thoughts. Barbara stands in the doorway, trench coat buttoned to the neck. 'Morning, Babs. You're early,' Mel purrs. Barbara orders them both to get dressed, but Lucas hears Melissa's real plan: kick her out, or get in. The two friends start fighting over him, until Lucas stops them and confesses. Since the intercom shock, he hears what they think. Both of them.

He proves it, repeating Barbara's salad secret and Mel's wish to share him. Silence. 'You'd really share him, Mel?' 'Would you?' The trench coat drops. 'Move over, Mel.' What follows is a morning none of them will forget. Afterwards, for the first time, his head goes quiet, because nobody is hiding anything. Then a new voice slips in: 'Hello, Lucas... I know you can hear this.' The last sting lands hard.
