Valerie Pitman and Sam have an 'interesting' day at an 'artistic experience'...

Valerie Pitman and Sid attend an ‘artistic experience’ where they are met by the Arts Officer, Melanie, and Freddie, the artist involved. Before long, loud music erupts and a man in full body disguise enters, brandishing blindfolds. They do as instructed and are led out of the building into a waiting car. Unbeknownst to them, Freddie has been locked in a cupboard, and when Melanie sets him free they find a laptop, which appears to be live-streaming Valerie and Sid’s adventures - they have been kidnapped.

Valerie and Sid are offered money, which they can win by playing a series of games. Valerie decides to play but gets bored and delegates some of the tasks to Sid.

Meanwhile, Melanie recognises the project as something that she previously rejected for commission. They get the artist’s details and rush off to his studio.

The pair burst in and the other artist, Lewis, reveals that Freddie has received a lot of funding and preferential treatment over other artists because he is in a relationship with Malenie. Valerie is shocked, and decides to donate their winnings to charity.
