Jet, the 6th episode of Secret Confessions: Backstage – is the hottest of the series and one story I’d like to see continued. Jet is the real drive behind The Screaming Tuesdays, the real master of their music. All the Tuesdays are talented in their own right, but Jet is the total package, even though his voice is his instrument on stage, he can play all instruments well (though he demurs about bagpipes). He is obsessive about his notebook, where he keeps his works-in-progress, his thoughts and his secrets. He has been wanting to get his hands (mouth, body) on Charlie since he first saw her on the first day of the US tour.
Charlie has been embedded with The Screaming Tuesdays since the beginning of the US tour. A reporter looking for the ‘in-depth true story’ about the band, the tour and the individual Tuesdays; she has kept her distance from all the members of the band and their support team. She wants nothing to tarnish her reputation as a reporter and devalue her work. She knows how quickly her reputation can be lost if she is linked to anyone she interviews. She has been painfully aware of Jet from the first moment and has delayed his interview until the last.
The last day of the tour, the last night, after the last concert, Charlie is scheduled to do her in-depth interview with Jet. Jet made a decision to avoid alcohol for the US tour; he states he’s not an alcoholic and it is just a personal choice. The Tuesdays have been betting against him, but the US tour is over and the betting pool is unclaimed. Yanis brings Charlie to Jet’s suite just as he’s about to shower off after the performance. Jet doesn’t want to do the interview with Charlie because he’s unsure he can keep his hands off her. Chicago is about to get hot!
