## Summary

*The following is a summary written for this wiki. It only hits the major points of the episode and, as such, should not be used as a substitute for listening to the episode as intended by the creators.*
### Main Story

Alicia Cairn enters the office haphazardously on roller-skates, to the concern and awestruck delight of The Interviewer. He tells her that his neice is a massive fan of her as Alicia is the star of a reality show called *The One and Only* which follows her life. Alicia is behaving in a way that is unlike her - drinking cocoa, having dairy, talking with an accent, and smoking - and explains that she is having an identity crisis due to her leaving the show but it continuing with Stacey Jones who is an actor that resembles her in all ways. She also says that she no longer owns her own identity, having signed it away at the beginning of the show.

After debating the philosophical question of the soul, they conclude that it is her brain which makes her Alicia Cairn, and to solve the problem they must get Kozlowski to swap the brains of Alicia Cairn and Stacey Jones.

### Epilogue

The Interviewer is on the phone to someone and talking about meeting Alicia. Upon mentioning that she was the same on TV down to the mole on her left hand, they realise that she in fact never had a mole there and the Interviewer rushes out of the office yelling that they have an emergency. Presumably, the person he met was actually Stacey Jones, wanting to take over Alicia's life.

### Notable Events

* Lorraine Fletcher is mentioned for the first time.

## Quotes

## Notes

* Given that Alicia turned 20 in 2003 and is stated to be 32 in this episode, then this interview must have taken place in 2015.
* This episode was originally labelled episode 3 until the Elizabeth Barlow episode was taken off the feed. It remains as Episode 2 now that Elizabeth Barlow is back.
