Bernard to the rescue, or, Dr. Fred's in trouble now

With a different statue, I felt confident in pushing Nurse Edna out of the room. Unfortunately, I made a rare trigonometric error of calculation, and she rolled all the way down the stairs with disastrous results. Physics isn't always pretty.

At least this gave me the opportunity , দ্বারা observing Dr. ফ্রেড opening the safe, to do some good for the Edisons. Except – he was still too fast with that dial. Then I noticed there were two speed settings on the VCR. I inserted my videotape, and proceeded to tape Dr. ফ্রেড – with unexpected results....

It's not his birthday; why does Bernard get the present?

It's true that Hoagie thought it was up to him to save the world,, but (in his own caveman-like way), he suffers from delusions of grandeur, and it seems only logical to begin the পরবর্তি part of this narrative in the present, since my component was the most central and necessary to the whole project.

I decided that I might learn আরো about the mess we found ourselves in দ্বারা exploring the mansion and collecting evidence. Knowing Dr. Fred, I thought it possible he might even have mislaid enough cash to buy the diamond, অথবা might have some more...

The future looks sushi; অথবা Laverne unleashed

Laverne's great skill (other than free-lance surgery) has always been her ability to chatter on until all other arguments disappear. Using this dubious ability, she was able to convince the guard she needed to see the doctor (I've known this for years). The doctor had never encountered a human like Laverne – who has? – and unwisely left her alone. She grabbed the tentacle chart (she's always been a sucker for a good chart) and took full advantage of her freedom to run away through the double doors and down to the end of the hall and... back into...

False alarm, or, Hoagie's স্বর্ণ rush

I thought it best to remind Hoagie of what he was looking for, and also that Laverne was still stuck in that tree. Hoagie asked if it was a kumquat tree. When I ব্যক্ত I thought so, he asked me to return the red paint. He also asked how vinegar was made, and when I told him, he began to chuckle. Hoagie is not a well person.

At any rate, he headed back down the chimney and walked straight over to Jefferson to give him the wine. When he told me Jefferson put it in the time capsule, I began to see what Hoagie was up to. He then walked outside and painted the tree....

Togetherness pays off, or, Roommates that get out of a hole together, bowl together

The tentacle invasion of earth has been so thoroughly covered in the media that I need only sketch in the details: The spoiling of our joyous reunion দ্বারা the intervention of Purple Tentacle, our dash to the past, the horror of finding ourselves in one misshapen body, the threat of the growing tentacle army, Old Purple Tentacle and his infernal shrinking রশ্মি – I'm sure you've seen al of this on CNN অথবা nightly network news until you're sick of it.

Suffice to say we found ourselves hiding out in the Honeymoon Suite....

Laverne says, "Don't calamari me, I'll calamari you"

Laverne exited the colonial display and went on to room R, where she found a 1970's display and Disco Ted (Hoagie always ব্যক্ত disco was dead, but I didn't know it was mummified). Laverne's shrewd knowledge of anatomy allowed her to instantly recognize that Ted was – অথবা had once been – a human being, and she decided to enter him in the contest. She slapped the entry badge on his chest, equipped him with roller skates for better nobility, and gave him the old Nurse Edna push down the hall.

She then tiptoed past the Head Tentacle's room and...
