Optics on ABC and ABC iview S1E6 – Cameras film as clown after clown squeezes into the New Li Phoenix Nano – ‘The World’s Roomiest Small Car’. The EMCEE (Craig Reucassel) announces 30 clowns – a world record!
A terrible crunch is heard. Limp clowns begin to flop out. Ambulances are called.
Greta and Nicole have been missing front-facing events and postable moments. Disgraced AFL player Bundy Gribbons shows up to memorise a stop hate speech. Ian, sporting a black eye, is dealing with Chinese clients who thought clowns would be a fun way to connect with the Australian market, but they hadn’t factored in the wider girth of Australian clowns over Chinese ones.
Meredith is on a virtual hunt of Sydney marinas to find Fritz’s yacht. Her search activity is being fed directly to Bobby and Dod.
While Cody infiltrates an ICU to push a clown in a coma to sign an NDA as soon as he’s conscious, Ian impresses the clients with AI-generated videos showing the clown crush happening in competitors’ vehicles and has a troll farm push the narrative.
At their lunch meeting, Anna digs for what Greta and Anna know about Fritz. They don’t seem to know about the yacht, but Anna thinks Bobby wants them to take the hit when the truth about Fritz comes out.
Ian calls Bobby to talk about the girls, as Bobby, unseen by Ian, arrives in the office and puts his phone on speaker.
Ian trashes the girls, as Bobby brings out their contracts. Greta and Nicole confront Bobby about the yacht, but Bobby claims that story is over and dangles the carrot of them knowing the secrets of the rich and powerful.
