Novel

Hey Girlfriends Anna here, just a quick heads up on what to expect in this episode of The Girlfriends.

We'll be exploring themes of coercive control and there'll be a reference to non-consensual drug use.

But it's also a story, as always, of true friendship, and there's going to be some

cool as hell nurses. If any of the themes feel difficult, you'll find links to mental health

and support organisations in the episode description. Last time on the girlfriends, trust me, babe.

Are you Derek Aldridge?

And he goes, yes.

Lisa is walking through baggage claim

when two cops on Segways

arrest the man she thought was named Steel.

And I looked at him like, what the hell?

One cop goes, you're good to go, but we're taking him. I'm like, what the hell's going on? Lisa and Derek, formerly known as Steele, have just returned from what should have been a romantic holiday in Hawaii. Now they're standing face to face with two airport cops. Time for Mr. Steele Finns to start explaining himself.

Steele goes, oh, it's probably my brother.

He impersonates me a lot, gets me in a lot of trouble,

so there's probably some warrant out or something for him.

Now, Steele had told Lisa he had a good-for-nothing twin brother,

but that doesn't explain why he just answered to the name Derek.

He hands me his suitcase.

He's like, here, just take this.

You know, everything's okay, babe.

Don't worry.
