Penultimate Episode (April 19)

After attending another heated performance by Johnny Taupe in the Show Lounge, Libby Montgomery was escorted to the penthouse by Vincent Martino - who happily reminded her she still had a few days remaining on her contract.  The entertainment director was unaware that mobster Uncle Tony had also been booked into the same Suite.  Frankie Zane explained to Joey Calligari that he was actually using reverse psychology when he asked Fiona Olaconacher to conspire with him in cheating the casino, and that this was all part of his plan for her to lose her considerable winnings at the table.  Proffered a martini and marital advice by Libby, Peggy Sue McGee had her first drink, followed by her first kiss – with none other than Joey, witnessed by a dismayed Jonsey Ford.  Audrey the Showgirl also got advice and an earful of secrets from Libby. Meanwhile, Bobby DeFaro was very concerned about Rudy Bellini’s whereabouts, and at a loss on how to pay Uncle Tony his money; but his nose for dough smelled the cash Libby had hidden in her outfit.  When the movie star returned to the Penthouse, she was alarmed to find a stranger - Uncle Tony - on her bed holding her suitcase full of the remaining insurance money.
