The Open House spins a property viewing into a game of hide-and-seek. Ben and Emily, two years into their marriage, love the house, but the agent keeps taking Ben to rooms with locking doors while Emily measures elsewhere. Five episodes, sly and suspenseful, built on near-discoveries.
Premise and first two chapters
A house that a married couple already loves comes with a realtor who has her own idea of what closes the sale. Emily is sure within minutes and goes downstairs with a tape measure. The realtor offers to show Ben the upstairs bedrooms, tells him he can look, and points out the big windows and a door that locks. She asks how long they have been married, hears two years, and wonders aloud whether the honeymoon is over. Emily wants the house; the realtor wants Ben; Ben wants to know whether she does this with every client.
The pilot follows the split tour to a bedroom the realtor says she only shows husbands, where she invites Ben to try the bed. In the second episode Emily finds the door locked and asks why, and the realtor answers that she was only checking the lock. The couple trade floors while the realtor keeps Ben one room away from his wife, until Emily, now upstairs, decides their furniture would fit perfectly. Whether the papers get signed before Emily notices is the question for episode 3.

Seeing The Open House in full
The free part covers two of the five chapters. Unlocking the other three takes 36 tokens in all, and that figure is the whole bill for seeing The Open House through to its last scene.
Premium comes with 100 tokens a month. At 12 tokens per chapter that is eight episodes, enough to finish this one with tokens left over.
A "full free" copy does not exist in any legitimate form: the episodes live on Candy, and uploads elsewhere are either fakes or someone else's rip.
