Callum gets home one day to find Jude and Lynette exchanging blows. To stop all three children from fighting, Dad tells Jude and Callum why Lynette is ill: three years ago, she and her Cross boyfriend were beaten for being in an interracial relationship. One night, Lynette leaves the dinner table to go on a walk. Hours later, police come to the house and deliver the news that Lynette was hit by a bus and killed. They say it was an accident, but Callum discovers a letter from Lynette under his pillow admitting she committed suicide. He vows to keep this secret. At about the same time, Sephy’s mother attempts to commit suicide but survives. Start making the tic-tac-toe grid by defining display_board()function, which will display it in a grid format when printed def display_board(board): This function creates a list of nine dictionaries representing the nine possible win paths, ie straight lines of three squares. Each dictionary contains the row/column numbers of the three squares as well as the counts of each of the three possible states of a square: empty, "O" and "X". __populate_win_paths In idiot mode the computer searches at random for an empty square to place its "O" in. __computer_move_average After a load of stuff to set up curses we create an instance of NaC before calling functions to draw the board and show the level. Finally we call a function to start the event loop. __event_loopThis is a fiddly but straightforward function which draws the nine empty squares and also a panel at the bottom listing the valid characters for user input. __show_level This is one of the functions passed to the NaC class's __init__, and is called by the NaC class when either the computer or the user make a move. It therefore just needs to draw an "X" or "O" in the correct square. on_game_over

Alone in the house together, Sephy and Callum have sex, and Sephy instantly bursts into tears afterwards. Jude and Morgan return before Sephy and Callum are fully dressed and while Sephy is still crying. They conclude that Callum raped Sephy, and they share that someone told the police about them: police arrested Leila, Pete is dead, and Andrew is gone. Jude and Callum fight and while they’re distracted, Sephy runs away into the woods. Callum finds her before Jude or Morgan can, and he points her toward safety. Before she leaves, Sephy shares that Andrew is working with Mr. Hadley—Andrew is the man she saw meeting with Mr. Hadley years ago. Sephy gets home safely, and Callum, Morgan, and Jude split up for their safety.

Running the Program

If __computer_move_genius finds a win path it wishes to use for its next move it calls this function to find an empty square in this path. If there are two the first is returned. One hot afternoon, Mother makes Sephy put on an expensive dress to go to some undisclosed location. Sephy enters Hewmett Prison extremely confused and doesn’t realize she’s at Dad’s execution until guards bring him out to the scaffold. However, just before Dad is killed, the prison governor stays the execution. When Mum and Callum get to see Dad hours later, Dad says he’s done fighting. Sephy is extremely disturbed by the day’s events—and is then confused when she learns Mother paid the McGregors’ legal fees. She goes to bed and cries herself to sleep. Five weeks after returning home, Sephy discovers she’s pregnant. Though Minnie initially agrees to keep Sephy’s pregnancy a secret, she ultimately tells Mother and Mr. Hadley. Mr. Hadley insists that Sephy get an abortion, but she refuses. Callum learns about Sephy’s pregnancy on the radio a few months later, and he heads home to see her. Six months after Lynette dies, Callum and Sephy decide to meet at the mall—but Jude tells Callum very seriously not to go. Suspecting the worst, Callum races for the mall and drags Sephy out—just before a bomb explodes, killing seven people. Enraged when she realizes that Dad and Jude were involved, Mum slaps Dad so hard she breaks her finger. At the hospital, so she can receive treatment, Mum allows the nurse to scan Callum and Jude’s ID cards, which are linked to their fingerprints. That night, to help herself sleep, Sephy tries wine for the first time. Here we set the counts of each possible state per win path for use by __computer_move_genius as described above. __find_empty_square
