WIZARD OF KINGSTON

Micheal runs through an old forest, carrying a rapped cloth in his arms — a child. He’s chased by huge men, and seems more concerned about his young child than himself. He leaps obstacles in a way that seems unnatural… and so do the men chasing him. The man confused his pursuers for a moment by climbing a tree nearby for safety, but one of them sees his reflection in a very dangerous-looking sharp dagger. He flings the dangerous dagger but the man dodged it easily, though this escape lands him right in the middle of a three strong men. They fought with Micheal for a while, and he leaps, twists, tumbled and avoids injury without ever letting go of the little girl in his arms. He takes a few injuries but finally gets away from the captors, and when it’s safe around him, he stops to get his breath and whispers to the little girl “We’re almost there’’. The man gathers some sort of energy into his arm, and when he places it on a nearby tree, the energy ripples into the tree and then through the ground, infiltrating the nearby forest. Gathering speed, the energy races through the forest, igniting glowing, mystical symbols on any tree it touches. The pursuers catch up, but the energy the man has put out has created some sort of barrier that distorts their perceptions while it protects him. They have no idea they’re only a few feet from him and the little girl, and they finally turn and leave. So many years later!

THEY BOTH HAD A HORRIBLE AFFAIR

James and Williams fights it out for the right to stay at Kingston medical college, and their knowledge have the girls and the boys jealous. As they expressed themselves, they think to themselves that they're incredibly evenly-matched — and then we back up to see that they never actually started bringing out the main points needed, and everyone is wondering why they're just staring at each other up until now.

Williams started to throw a few points at James about the new discovery he read about few days ago.

It really hit hard on poor James because everyone kept looking at him to see how he's going to react.

It's seems not to go well now, I could see both faces looking terrible.

Eventually they're just pulling hair and slapping each other's faces, which is when Professor Washington arrives to break it up.

Dean Micheal shows up too, and he looks like fire is about to shoot from his eyeballs. He wrench both boys into his office for an explanation, and they pretend it was just a mock fight, for fun.

James tries turning on the charm, but Dean Micheal is having none of it, and explains that Kingston medical college is about more than learning biochemistry — it's also about knowledge and virtue.

In fact, biochemistry and pharmacology class is only once a week, because it's important for the students to learn to discover with intelligence and honor.

This annoys James, but something about Micheal's words seem to strike a chord with Williams, who know what this meant to the Dean.

Dean Micheal doesn't care why they came here, but if they have no intention of taking it seriously, then they're welcome to leave. Williams asks what he wants them to do if they stay, and both boys bristle when Micheal puts them in the beginner class.

James claims to know bit about anatomy, and Williams says he learned a lot about pathology in a medical school in the city, but I think that fighting proved them both wrong.

But despite their genuine apology, they find themselves designated the school's "low class," and assigned to the lowest of the chores in the college — cleaning the toilets up in their room, and the girls worry about the boys' pride and whether they've ever even cleaned a bathroom or toilet.

Still, the boys do make an effort, neither willing to let the other outshine them even in bathroom-scrubbing.

Helen spends her day off wondering why Williams, the hottest idol in the country, came to this medical School.

Mary seems unsettled at Helen's interest in him, and jumps to his defense when Helen says he's greedy (for being so famous and wanting to attend their school).

Now Helen's dad takes Aunty shopping to buy some makeup for his daughter, and she whines like a child when he doesn't buy her anything as well.

She really don't act like a sister to Helen's dad but seems to be more of a caretaker slash neighbor than actual a family, as she mentions she wishes this were a date, so we'll just call her Aunty as an older woman figure to Helen. In the end they got into an argument and she leaves him there, stranded.

Teacher Jonathan reports that the boys are actually working hard at cleaning, and sure enough, James is even folding the toilet paper ends neatly.

He gets annoyed when Williams "ignores" his conversation, though he really just can't hear him.

This seems pretty profound as Williams really can't hear James talking right in front of him, and when the pain hits, it looks like a humdinger.

Even James is concerned, but Williams pretends it's nothing.

He lashes out when James asks about his ear, yelling that he's fine and storming off.

He's so clearly not fine, but his attitude puts James off whatever worry he might have had.

Even Helen notices that something is off with Williams, but he brushes her concern away as well.

Williams barks at her, wondering if she's worried about his lost career since he can't hear so well, or the fact that he's ranked lowest in class, and she mutters that she was just worried about his burned hand.

Now Helen is ready to go to the city with him and set things right regarding his scandal, and that gets Williams attention.

But he's so on edge that he can't even trust this, and asks what her angle is.

Helen figures that people have been using him his whole life, and tells him to just take her help for what it is.

She gives him a big grin, which totally diffuses his heart.

Patrick's mother triggers Dad's assistant for information on Kingston medical college,and why her husband insists that James attend there.

He stays tight-lipped and she gets nowhere.

Williams overhears some of the other students discussing him and James, and none of it is flattering.

The part where James was born out of wedlock and so can't be acknowledged, is of particular interest to Williams.

Left alone, Helen's father is forced to ask strangers for help getting to his doctor's appointment which it's time is almost due, but with nobody to help him because it's just a bus station, he misses his bus.

His phone is knocked out of his hand and now he's in real trouble, and he ends up getting hit by a motorcycle as he kneels to search for his phone on the floor.

James actually seems to like cleaning — more than studying anyway.

He asks Mary if she's seen his "Kitty," and she tells him that Helen has gone to City.

Helen readies to go with Williams, but a call has her hesitating while Williams waits for her on the bridge as they agreed.

James Patrick notices that Williams is not in their room and his bed is made and tidy, and connects the dots — they must be together.

Helen's call was about her father, and she rushes to find him at the police station, forgetting all about Williams.

It's really so interesting that Dad's worried about losing the cell phone she bought, and proud that he saved the makeup he got her.

He can't see that it's just the box and the makeup is missing, which has Helen fighting back tears and telling him that it's really pretty.

Williams waits at the bridge for Helen, but rather than angry at her delay, he seems more lost and abandoned.

James doesn't seem as happy as he expected to have his room all to himself, either.

Helen shows up at Aunty's house to bring her some snacks she made, and swears that her dad said he'll never hurt her feelings again if she'll just come back to his place.

She gets Aunty and Dad in the same room, looking mightily pleased with herself, and just grins while they bicker.

The issue isn't makeup, but Dad's feelings, and Dad finally barks that Aunty is beautiful even without makeup.

He gets a little handsy, which melts Aunty's anger, and Helen wisely leaves them alone.
