We left the Copperhead falling from a plank of wood which he foolishly thought was safely straddling two enormously high buildings. The man he was chasing disagreed and sent a pulley flying at Copperhead Bob. It hit him square in the chest and he was knocked the heck off said plank. He fell to his death. There is no other way to put it. Unless some miracle intervened…

…or a rope. A rope is fairly miraculous given that it wasn’t there last week. So Bob has a rope. He still fell to his death – we saw it.

It was a long rope – I’ll give you that but still. He’s dropping like the Northern Rock share price – there is no way back. Gravity – like becoming gay – is a one way street.

Unless the rope is just slightly shorter than the duration of the fall. I’ll give you that too. But the force of the rope suddenly stopping would send him crunching to his death. You’ll concede that at least.

Or not. He’s a super hero after all. At least he was until legal reasons took his super powers away from him but that’s just admin.

"I don’ts believes it" this man probably says when he realises the Copperhead is a jammy sod.

Rather than walk, the Copperhead decides to climb back up the rope and pick up where he left off.

His foe spots him climbing back onto the staircase and puts plan B into operation. He rolls a barrel down to the Copperhead.

"I know a song about that" says Copperhead Bob. No he doesn't.

A fight breaks out.

Meanwhile, the bulk of the hoodlum crew decide to put the tungite in the truck and get the hell out of there.

Bob wins!

He interrogates his victim but gets nothing helpful out of him. Dr Satan has a laboratory. That’s about it. We knew that – Bob almost killed himself several times in Dr Satan’s laboratories.

He magically transforms back into his human alter ego. Would that Batman could shove his entire persona into his jacket pocket for safe keeping.

Slow news day.

The press report that the captive is still alive and is in a coma at a local medical facility. Doctor Satan is appalled.

Dr Satan operates some controls on his desk and a ROBOT~! lumbers through. It’s like scary would be if scary meant slow, dull, stupid and not at all frightening.

Meanwhile, at a local medical facility…

…a nurse wonders how long she’s got until she can stop wanking off the patients for another night.

Bob gets a call on his normal (i.e. non-secret) phone. The man is regaining consciousness. That must’ve been one heck of a wank. She should be proud.

Back at the hospital, an ambulance pulls up. This should not surprise anyone – hospitals and ambulances go together but so do mayhem and intrigue and I have a sneaking suspicion that this ambulance is not what it seems. Call it a guess.

OMG~!

Oh wait – it wasn’t a new boiler – it’s a robot on the loose in the hospital. That makes more sense actually – I didn’t understand why Dr Satan would bring his gift of heating to all hospital-kind.

The nurse sees the robot and faints. Bless her.

Guns won’t work – nit wit – run for your life or it’ll hug you to pieces.

Too late.

The man in the bed is appalled.

MORE ARTY DIRECTION~!

He rings his bell and the high tech display screen reacts. It’s no wonder he’s being killed by a robot – he’s in room 13. Unlucky for some and never has a truer word been spoken.

Bob arrives. He’s too late as usual.

He spots that something is wrong, watches while the ambulance men put the robot back in their ambulance and then runs out after them. This man is lying almost dead on the floor but Bob doesn’t care. He’s got an exciting car chase to start.

See. Exciting. And a car chase. An exciting car chase.

They hide their ambulance. They are channelling the audience and spurning the threatened car chase after all.

Bob discovers he has no one to chase. He looks so sad, the little puppy man.

He decides to knock on the nearest door and ask if they’d like him to chase them. Or – alternatively – he spots some tracks on the road and thinks it might be his quarry.

Bob spots the ambulance and radios his position to Lois.

The Copperhead returns – hooray. That was flat and lifeless but heartfelt.

The robot sulks around like a teenager who has been told he can’t go to the disco. Or whatever teenagers do these days. Crack probably.

The Copperhead finds Scott, unaware that he’s under Dr Satan’s control. He doesn’t sound like he’s under his control but they never said he wasn’t so we must assume for now that he is.

Dr Satan interrupts their little chat. It’s no wonder he became evil – his shadow is enough to give anyone an inferiority complex.

Copperhead Bob tells him he wants passage out of the building.

Bob shoots Dr Satan! But wait – either a bird has crapped on the front of his suit or…

He was hidden behind a glass screen all along. How fiendish. He pulls a lever…

…Bob nips out for a moment…

…and ends up in a room with two chairs – one too big and one too small. I think he stole that from a nursery rhyme.

He pulls a second lever and comes out from behind his screen. He orders Scott to prepare for departure to yet another secret location.

He then creeps over to a second evil control panel and no doubt has something nasty in store for Bob. No control panel which must be snuck up on can ever bring goodness or niceness.

He pulls a lever and some motors spring into life.

The wall…

…is literally…

…MOVING~!

Bob is going to die. Simple as that. Crushed like a grape handed to the once popular Stu Francis.

Not even trying to stop the wall from moving is going to save the Copperhead.

I don’t think they're treating his death with the gravity it deserves.
