Strangers in Paradise

Katchoo's dreams are uneasy as is her relationship with Francine who feels slighted that her best friend could leave without explanation and still refuses to come clean about what happened in Canada.

During her absence David has gotten Katchoo an art show at the local gallery and has her art on display without her knowledge. Katchoo breaks down and confesses to David some of her secret past and family breakdown she has kept from Francine. She tells him how Emma, now dying of AIDs, saved her from the gutter in LA and gave her a job as a high-class call girl.

Meanwhile Darcy Parker demands more diligent work from the P.I. she placed on Katchoo.
