OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE. SERIES 2. EPISODE 13

“Outrageous Fortune chronicles the lives of the West family, who have always done things the less-than-legal way. However, when Dad Wolfgang West gets sent to jail for four years, his family receives a very sharp wake-up call.
Mum Cheryl decides that it is time for her family to get out of the crime game once and for all. No more robbing, ripping people off or lying. However, for this family, breaking the habits of a lifetime is much easier said than done." TV3; tv3.co.nz; 12/02/2007

“Grandpa creeps in the dark towards a complex looking safe and begins work. The door swings easily open. This is because he has just cracked the West family oven, and due to his efforts a kitchen towel on the stove begins to emit smoke. It is just fortunate that Loretta returns from late night nookie (with Hayden) before the whole place goes up in flames. But this is just the latest in a catalogue of Grandpa-related disasters. The next morning at breakfast, Cheryl ventures to ask how Grandpa might fit in at an old folks’ home…
Cheryl pulls up outside a strange house. It belongs to Anne-Marie, a trim woman in her mid-30s, an old acquaintance. Cheryl wants to know, why would Anne-Marie and her son feature in Wolf’s will? Anne-Marie admits she did have a baby with Wolf – her son Brandon is now 18.
At the Janet Frame Rest Home, Grandpa answers the phone. On the other end of the line, we find Wolfgang West calling on a cellphone. Loretta, meanwhile, has been expanding her sexual repertoire and has something she would like to try. Hayden’s game for it…if she’ll answer a question: has she ever loved anyone? “ Adapted from www.outrageousfortune.co.nz; 12/02/2007
