Tracy fills Lynda in on her plan for a Greek-themed leaving do for Dimitrios. Lynda hopes they can find a way to weave in some historical and mythological themes into the evening. After doing her research, Lynda suggests their activities include plate smashing and a game of Which God am I? Jim arrives late at Lower Loxley for his first ghost stories rehearsal – Webster escaped at Greenacres and he had to stay in his room until the coast was clear. Elizabeth wants to introduce Jim to his new director. It’s Russ. He’s hoping to bring some objectivity and perspective to the performance, and hands Jim a detailed rehearsal schedule. Jim proclaims that he’s much better off working alone. Russ attempts emotional blackmail and tells Jim what a shame it would be if Elizabeth were to suffer a setback in her depression recovery. Jim relents, but Russ’s artistic demands become increasingly outlandish, with physical theatre and props. They each complain about the other to Elizabeth, who silences them. From now on, Russ will work on set design, and Jim will work on his performance. If they can’t make decisions in future, she will have the final word.
