Blazing Balloons: Chapter 1

Quentin has a nightmare where he is incredibly scared of death. Death notices Quentin has wet himself, and starts laughing at him. With no time to ponder such bad dreams, Quentin wakes to discover the woman he's presumably slept with last night. She's rather more masculine than he remembers. She calls herself Cindi.

Quentin starts referring to Cindi as "mommy", and Cindi gets frustrated and leaves. He looks at the calendar and notices that today is the day he must "get Watson". As he's getting breakfast from the fridge he notices the post-it reminding him to take the keys and batteries.

He's clearly angry that Quentin "doesn't smell like team spirit". Desperate, Quentin offers Watson 30 quid and a AA battery, to which Watson agrees.

On the way out, Watson and Quentin are surrounded by blue collar workers on a strike, and agree to sign their petition. Spurred on by their act, Imogen calls them up to the podium and thanks them personally.

At this point, the heroes notice a beeping sound coming from the Delorean. When they go to investigate, the beeping hastens and the bomb in the Delorean explodes, albeit with a fizzle...
