I Can Hear Their Thoughts, Episode 5: Her or Me?

The loop you'll replay: a trench coat, buttoned to the neck, sliding to the floor. "Move over, Mel." That's the turn the whole series has been building toward. Episode 5 of I Can Hear Their Thoughts picks up with Barbara in the doorway. Mel purrs a teasing good morning and calls her early. Barbara's order: get dressed, both of you. But Lucas hears Mel's real thought: kick her out, or get in.

The friends start fighting over him until Lucas cuts in with the truth. Since the intercom shock, he hears what they think. Both of them. He proves it, repeating Barbara's salad secret and Mel's wish to share. Silence. Barbara asks if Mel would really share him, and Mel throws the question right back. What follows is a morning none of them will forget. After, for the first time, his head goes quiet. Nobody's hiding anything. Then a new voice slides in: "Hello, Lucas... I know you can hear this."
