I don't recall No. 7 appearing in that episode. The main characters were No. 2 (The Judge), No. 6 (The Prisoner), No. 8 (The Kid), and No. 22 ("Kathy"). No. 6 is his usual uncooperative self. His reluctance to accept responsibility (combined with No. 2's arrogance) leads to the death by strangling of No. 22 at the hands of No. 8 -- twice. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor

No. 22 left 30 years ago, and was not available for the 2000 census. The same applies for No. 21 & No. 20(who lived with No. 22). No. 9 died in 2002, and the whereabouts of the other 11 are unknown. It seems we are left with the glass blower, the potter, the postmaster, the handyman ( a Mexican with poor English skills), the hippie ( who moves between the glass blower & the potter), and the head of the chamber of commerce. They will be re-numbered once the 2010 census results are published. There is room for a photographer. -- Regards, Savageduck
