Extended Summary
With the drawing of the little girl in her hand, Marilyn questions Miles asking where it came from. Miles has no idea how the drawing came to be on the fridge, but when Marilyn tries to quiz him further, Elijah interrupts them.With very few answers, a concerned Marilyn goes to Alf for help, telling him that on top of everything else she saw Miles graffiting. Alf can’t believe what he’s hearing and wonders whether Marilyn was dreaming, Miles wouldn’t grafitti the vans and he certainly wouldn’t talk to imaginary kids, but she’s adamant that she wasn’t dreaming. When Marilyn tells him of the further developments with Rabbit, he tells her that none of it makes sense. Meanwhile Rabbit is starting to become more prominent in Miles’ life, coming to the point where she’s prompting him as to what to say to people, including his students.

When Marilyn and Alf round the corner, Alf is shocked to find Miles standing at the caravan talking to himself.
