[QUOTE="Spells & Karma, post: 200928, member: 23"] [U][SIZE=6]Episodes 241-243[/SIZE][/U][I] (...continued)[/I] Comeuppance is still the order of the day for Alison, as her plan to put itching powder in Bobby’s wedding dress is foiled as she tries to climb into her bedroom window with Roo as her accomplice: This time Alison stays dry, but she’s forced to pour the itching powder inside her own clothes instead. Don’t mess with Summer Bay. Incidentally (and presumably to warrant such a nasty fate), Alison had this to say about Sally: Meanwhile, on the morning of the wedding there’s some nice dramatic juxtaposing between the fantasy and the reality. Bobby speaks to Frank about the dream she had while staying at Narelle’s the night before: In between Frank and Bobby’s chat on the sofa there are cutaways. Each time, Bobby and Frank’s conversation is put on hold and resumes after we’ve seen each of the various shots: a seaplane flying through the sky; floating across the water; the ground crew securing the plane; the propellors stopping; the door opening. Finally, we see someone emerge: [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/elF8hz.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://i.vgy.me/nfj7h3.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://i.vgy.me/CjhDXQ.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://i.vgy.me/OD08JD.jpg[/IMG] Mother’s home.
