 SEASON 2, EPISODE 22 WEDDING BELL BLUES Local pool hustler Danny (Louis Ferreira) has been down on his luck, much to the chagrin of his pregnant fiancee Jennifer (Elizabeth Maclellan), who's counting on his winnings to finance their wedding. To speed things along, Jennifer gives Danny a new cue stick, which causes his game to improve dramatically for reasons only Jennifer knows- the cursed cue turns losers into winners after it's been used to kill an innocent victim. It seems that Jennifer, obsessed with becoming a bride and tired of Danny's lame excuses about his financial affairs, has had no qualms about murdering to assure her lover's winnings. Despite this, Danny steadfastly refuses to set a wedding date. Later, Jennifer is enraged to discover Danny making love to her sister and uses the cue stick to kill her. Jennifer then informs a shocked and speechless Danny that she is responsible for his amazing pool shots and won't tolerate another delay in their plans. CAST & CREW RYAN DALLION- JOHN D.
