Summary
Ted has a monthly guest spot on Through the laces with Trent Crimm. He didn’t expect anything from this gig, aside from quality time with his favourite journalist (and maybe some free hair products). Who knew a goodie bag could spark a sexuality crisis?

They say it happens, when you need it the most
When the voidness and darkness unbearable grows
When shadows and fog grow too thick to see
It’s clearer, with whom you are destined to be -

Summary
“Aldo,” a soft voice said, from behind him. “Why are you up here?”
Aldo flinched, and whirled around. Benítez was standing in the doorway, blocking the dim light from the corridor. His soft black hair curled around his ears, brushing against the nape of tanned neck. His eyes were dark and he wore a neatly fitted jacket, hanging over the belt of his jeans. It was a shame he was so pretty, Aldo thought, then realised he had been staring far too long.

Summary
Still, Horne, a tall beta man despite his “little” moniker, is something of a stickler for rules. This character trait juxtaposes pleasingly with the extravagant capriciousness of that most alpha of alphas, the Taskmaster himself, played by Greg Davies. The dynamic between the two works most effectively as, of course, we are all hanging on the pleasure of the Taskmaster, who treats everyone with the same cruel disaffection regardless of career, secondary or primary gender, or ability. “It works because nobody expects it of him,” says Horne, “But I think everyone likes that, secretly. That alpha urge to be mean, to be nasty. It’s very satisfying to watch. To participate in.”
- James Park, “The Secret to Taskmaster’s Cult Success”, The Guardian
Alex Horne has a secret - later in life than is meant to happen to anyone, he presented as an omega. He decides to keep it under wraps; how hard can it be? He's got a successful show, he's got a group of friends... but a flare of unexpected jealousy during filming, coupled with a chance meeting in a hotel room in Manchester, starts a chain of events that soon rumbles out of his control.
