Fisher wants to talk to Jeff and Craig in his office to sort out the business with the painkillers. Craig comes out of hospital today.
Stacey and Phil ask Neville and Floss about Gary’s parents accident, if there has been something unusual about it. Neville tells them there was a plastic spider staring in his parents’ faces while they lay dead in the car after the accident (Strange music plays)

Phil is at the cliff where the accident of Gary’s parents happened. He holds a plastic spider and thinks. (Mysterious music plays)
Phil figured out how the accident may have happened.
He drags Stacey out of her office while she is on the phone to her father. Her father called back; Phil answered the phone and pretended to be a pizza deliveryman! (Funny scene)
Phil and Stacey drive to the cliff again. Phil has arranged it so that the plastic spider falls down from the window at Stacey’s seat while Phil is driving. She’s shocked! Phil pulls the car over rapidly. He says that’s how the accident must have occurred, apart from the fact that Gary’s parents went over the cliff instead. This is a pretty shocking way of showing how the accident happened. He says, “That’s how Gary killed his parents!”
Phil and Stacey tell Gary that they know that he killed his parents and how he did it. He admits it after a while but says it was an accident and that it was just meant to be a joke.
Fisher discovers the truth about the painkillers.
Gary tells Tom that he wants to meet Phil and Stacey at the cliff. Phil and Stacey drive out to the cliff.
Gary is there and threatens to kill himself by jumping off the cliff.
Gary jumps down the cliff. Stacey screams! But Gary bluffed, he jumped down to a smaller cliff. He smiles at them and says, “This is going to be fun!”
