    Conclusion.  Last time Jules entered the world’s oldest profession and loved it.  It was all glitz, glamour and fast cash, and she felt like she had the world at her feet. But now life’s harsh realities catch up with her. Jules hits rock bottom, appearing on an intervention TV reality show and checking into a Mexican rehab facility she could not leave.

    THE SECRET ROOM | UNLOCKED 

    Last April in an episode called The Watcher, Susie interviewed Kai, your average professional, with an exception. Every night she observes the nighttime activity at a convenience store. She's witnessed tragedy, crime, heartbreak, and an incident with a bloody machete, and feels tremendous emotion about it.  Now Kai's back to update us on the police supervisor she got to know, and about an unexpected run in at the hospital next door.  It's a bombshell follow-up you won't want to miss.
