The Slap Connie
When Hector broke things off with Connie, her feelings for him didn't change, if anything, they got stronger. So, when Hector drives her home one night after babysitting, she kisses him, and Hector, in a moment of weakness, takes things further. Connie is thrilled by this development until she sees Aisha at the vet clinic, and her excitement turns to guilt. She tries to make contact with Hector but he doesn't respond. Unable to resist seeing him, and knowing Aisha is out, she dresses up and visits him at home, aiming to seduce him. But her plan goes awry when Hector not only rejects her advances, but tells her he regrets their affair and will never love her. Devastated and humiliated she takes off to a party, where she finds Richie, and blurts out that Hector raped her. Richie is shocked and insists she tell the police, but she refuses. At the party, Connie quickly forgets about Hector when she comes to the attention of Ali, a handsome, popular boy from school. Connie is enthralled by her new love interest after he walks her home at dawn and asks for her number. As she slides into bed, still tingling with excitement, the teenage Connie is oblivious to the trouble her lie has created. Screenplay by Alice Bell ; directed by Matthew Saville. Starring: Anthony Hayes, Maude Davey, Jane Allsop, Emily Weaton, Charlotte Nicdao.
