STORY STATEMENT: While in the midst of stealing records Eve is confronted by Betty, a stranger watching her from the coffee shop across the street. During the confrontation Eve manages to turn the tables on Betty and gets her to reveal her morals and motives.

NARRATIVE OUTLINE: Betty sits alone at a coffee shop. She is estranged from her family and extremely bitter. IN her solace she sees Eve at an outdoor kiosk and watches in silence as she steals 2 records while the clerk’s back is turned. She walks by the coffee shop and Betty calls out to her. She informs Eve that she knows what she’s done and Eve proceeds to use her wit and observational skills to turn the tables on Betty. She gets Betty to open up about her family and why they are not around. Eve describes her situation as being like ice – while rubbing an ice cube against her hand - It should be cold, but it burns us instead. Eve makes her exit and leaves a stunned Betty behind. She watches as she sees Eve hand some money to a homeless person on the corner.

WHY YOU THINK AN AUDIENCE CAN SHARE IN THIS (what are you trying to say or explore?): This episode touches on peoples’ expectations and how things aren’t always what they should be or how they seem. Eve is not what she seems and neither is Betty. Families are not always what families should be. The message in this episode is basically that you should always look at all sides of things for an explanation and that your family can be whatever you make it.
