Mike, a local X-man, street poet, and probably so much more, notices the hot chick entering the store and decides to start working on their relationship. He enters the shop, but there is no one there.

In the meantime, Connie and Albie try to move different things in front of the mirror, but nothing seems to reflect in it. The mirror seems to be showing a copy of the store, with no C&A but with a shady looking type entering it and looking around. They manage to attract his attention.

Mike notices something in the mirror. He approaches it, and suddenly the hot chick and the geezer show up in front of him, searching for something in the mirror.

Hyperintelligent Connie quickly realizes what has been obvious to the audience for a while (thus making them feel very intelligent in a homoerotic sort of way): the three of them are trapped in the mirror.

And then her mobile starts ringing. It's Havers. Is it not clear whether this is the result of the famous arcane connection between uncle niece, or just a general quality of microwave radiation, but it really is him, from the outside.

Connie warns him not to enter the store, and instead help her launch a flotilla of experiments. Understanding the nature of their situation is the key to changing it. Experiments held include:

• Tossing an ally cat into the mirror: poor scared feline jumped out the window, his last cry cut and extended for ever in mid vowel as he left the coherence of the faux store.

Culminating in a ritual to revive the bristol kid involving wax, cords of mandrake leaves to lash his limbs together, and a break-in to the Guillotine room at Madam Tussaud's - the procedure seems to have worked, and perhaps too well. Muttered chatters in french, wrinkled wax brows glistening in candle light, and the old ladies knitting at the guillotine raise their knitting needles and prepare to strike!
