Ep.44 For the last few episodes May and Salene have been tiptoeing round each other. May wants to talk about "it" just as much as Salene doesn't want to talk about "it". We also know that May left a "love letter" on Sal's bed, though she tore it up before Sal could find it. We have been left wondering how all this started. What exactly was this "it"? When May left the Mall, Salene became more forthcoming to Ellie. Though we are still left with an "it" that dare not speak its name.
Salene   It was just a spur of the moment thing, I didn't mean anything by it, honestly. I just felt sorry for her. She was so down on herself, I didn't know how she felt. I don't think she did either Ellie   Maybe not. There's nothing wrong with it though Salene   No, nothing wrong with it, nothing at all. It's just— Ellie   Not for you? — Poor May Salene   I let her down, Ellie. She was my friend and I drove her away. I just — I couldn't give her — I feel so bad — where's she going to go?
And so they continue. Salene considers going out to look for May. But here's the goof: What was the spur of the moment thing? It wasn't May's letter. This was something that Salene did, that gave cause for May to think there was something between them. It's caused the whole dynamic between the two friends to change. It can only be something like a kiss. We do know that Cloud9 filmed a kiss between May and Salene. And the scene above seems to be talking about it. But the kiss was pulled (deleted) no doubt because Channel 5 vetoed it. Cloud9's explanation was that they needed more development of the story to allow a kiss scene to fit in naturally. So they dropped it. But if the kiss never happened it makes a nonsense of "It was just a spur of the moment thing, I didn't mean anything by it, honestly. I just felt sorry for her. She was so down on herself, I didn't know how she felt. I don't think she did either. As an ironic twist to this, if you look up what The Tribe actors are doing now, you'll find it's Victoria Spence (Salene) who has become the Gay Activist. Which perhaps also explains why she (allegedly) didn't like the whole kissing thing with Nick Miller (Pride).
