Meanwhile Mrs Fortitude has to make amends for overspending and faces her husband's cane.

Gypsy, Tramps and Thieves: Toni is too old to be lazing around playing games as a beach bum, using her looks to attract the guys.

Rayne's Landing: When she decides to take a job and stay at Rayne's Landing, Kathy has no idea of what she is getting in to. She soon discovers that Rayne 'collects' women and makes them her own, spanking them, having sex with them and even renaming them. She, of course, is not into any of that... or is she?

She looks forward to satisfying her curiosity because Fran lives in a commune, and all who live there are subject to domestic discipline. Although Addie has a general idea of what goes on, she doesn't think she will be included in any of the punishments. Wrong.
