After the first week of performances, there was a celebratory first week after-party that continued late into the evening. Charlotte's happiness was overshadowed when she became victim of a devious cast member, who spiked her drink. She was soon affected and disoriented.

It was then that Jonah approached her, indicating he wanted to change his leave dates to 30 May through to 13 June. He said his partner had booked a cruise over those dates and could not cancel the booking. Already talking gibberish, Charlotte became delirious and frantic. She begged Jonah not to go. She pleaded with him to honour the arrangement, finally writing on a napkin with her lipstick and handing him this offer:

'Plz don't go!!! U can have +$20,000 if u stay!!!.'

The next day Charlotte only had vague memories of the party. She met with Jonah for their usual afternoon coffee. During the conversation he showed her the napkin and her written offer of $20,000 if he performed over the period 30 May to 13 June 2015.

'Did I do that?' she sighed. "That doesn't look like something I'd usually do."

The successful season ended. Jonah performed on those important dates and Charlotte paid the $60,000. But Jonah demanded payment of the extra $20,000, in accordance with the napkin arrangement. He was becoming hostile and threatening legal proceedings.

Charlotte's son Peter was watching her slowly wilt under the pressure being applied by Jonah. She was struggling financially, due to a previous failed venture. Peter approached Jonah and offered to pay $10,000 to settle any debt Charlotte may have outstanding. He didn't know if the debt was due or even payable, but wanted to take pressure off his mother. Jonah accepted and he banked the $10,000. However, he still planned to recover the balance of $10,000 from Charlotte via legal proceedings.

Was there ever a contractual obligation for Charlotte to pay the extra $20,000?
