Alex is left very much how he started - looking unconvincing and a bit bonkers. Jones, but of course, it isn’t in service. He’s insistent that the explosion was caused by a bomb planted by the internet guys, and even tries to get the plod to call the number he still has for Mrs. One of the technicians sent out by the company looks suspiciously like Gregorovich, and while Alex and Sabina stroll along the beach exchanging important bits of backstory and worldbuilding, the house on the hill explodes in a giant fireball on the horizon behind them.Īlex is able to rescue Ed from what the local police insist was a gas leak. Ed and Sabina are renting a modern house on a nearby hill where Alex goes to try and borrow some coffee, and while he’s there he learns that the house is having some problems with its internet connection.
