6 Episodes 2012 - 2012
Episode 1
27 mins
Roo's world is turned upside down when she is introduced to Marcus, somebody stricken with a vaguely similar set of mysterious circumstances to the ones plaguing her - although Marcus, if it can be believed, is a little different from Roo. In fact, he is her opposite. Everybody he has sex with - is healed. With EJ as her somewhat reluctant co-pilot, Roo embarks upon a journey. A journey to convince a man who doesn't want to have sex with her that he must have sex with her. A journey to wipe the slate clean - emotionally, physically, spiritually. Along the way she and Roo encounter Parkies, halitosis, port wine stains, funerals, trial separations, couples bootcamp and one particularly appalling conversation about semen - all in the name of a cure. If EJ doesn't have enough to juggle, with Roo and her quest to bed Marcus, it seems Zach has forgotten all about their wedding plans, instead developing a rather acute Jesus complex. Believing his curse survivor status translates into Jesus mind powers, Zach attempts to master said powers. And it's not as easy as you may think. In fact, it's a confusing and deceptively complex process being the second coming of Christ. And so, it's no surprise when Zach apprentices himself to a reluctant Marcus. Add to this Roo's dad, Graham, taking up residence on the girls' couch following a tiff with Marion, and the girls find themselves with more than a full plate.
Episode 2
27 mins
When Roo decides the only way forward is for her to have sex with Marcus, EJ is less than on board. Wearing her best supportive face, EJ questions Roo's thinking. What if instead of Marcus healing Roo, Roo ends up killing Marcus? Is that a risk Roo is willing to take? It's not. She can't cause any more death or destruction and so once again she seeks out G-bomb's advice. Thankfully he reassures her that Marcus is safe from her powers. While Roo is seeking out G-bomb, EJ does some sleuthing of her own with surprising and bile-inducing results. The experience leaves her traumatised yet no closer to being able to prove Marcus is a fraud. Summoning her courage, Roo goes to be treated by Marcus only to find he's not there - the reason being that Zach has taken matters into his own hands to prevent the Roo/Marcus coupling. Marcus's time captive is not a complete waste as Zach inadvertently divulges the truth about Roo and her curse. And so when Marcus eventually returns and finds Roo waiting, he leads her a merry dance that includes carbonara and karaoke before telling her there is no chance he'll sleep with her. Ever. There's no way he's risking losing his powers to save her.

Episode 4
26 mins
Humiliated following her latest encounter with Marcus, Roo decides it's time to dismiss Marcus as a treatment option and pursue other avenues. EJ is thrilled to finally slam shut the Marcus chapter and so is less-than-thrilled when he turns up at their door. With Roo not home, EJ sends Marcus packing making it more than clear he's not welcome and that they've moved on. He should too. Tension simmers between Roo and Charlie when he realises Roo has had further contact with Marcus. Charlie makes her promise not to see Marcus ever again. Roo promises, redoubling her resolve to explore all other healing possibilities. And this is how she and EJ find themselves doing yoni push ups at sexual bootcamp. During a particularly strange truth session, Roo learns of Marcus's visit and is furious that EJ hasn't told her before - maybe Marcus has changed his mind. The girls fight as it becomes clear Roo has far from closed the door on Marcus being the solution to all her problems. In a vulnerable moment EJ is reminded the reason Roo is clinging to Marcus's healing abilities is because Roo knows Charlie is dying - it's only a matter of time. Against her better judgement, EJ tells Roo to go find Marcus and that's exactly what she does - but before she can, bad news about Charlie waylays her. Alone at the end of a very emotional day, Roo has one last surprise in store.
