Introduction[]
"Last we left off, even trying to recap last episode is sort of daunting to think about. Last we left off, there was a convergence of the vast majority of our group at Oblongata Station with one Ivana Popov, Mentopolis's long lost fight response, at Oblongata. After some smooth talking from one A. Tension, Max ran off to get some vodka, some tea, and some champagne. [...] Room temperature vodka. [...] The keys of attention, impulse, and fight itself were placed into the reflex board at Oblongata Station, and the big guy, one Elias Hodge, fired the grappling gun up towards the roof of Gobstopper Industries in the outside world. However, gangsters from the Avaricci mob and shock troops from the city police department converged on the space. There was Dan Fucks' heroic stand. [...] The genius, the power. [...]
So, there was a splitting of the party here, and we had Conrad, Anastasia, Imelda, and Ivana all surrender themselves to the shock troops in order to get out of this bad situation, after Anastasia successfully used her press pass to slow down the cops' roll in time for everyone to finish saving the big guy and leave the station, and we found that those four got in the squad car of one Officer Joie de Vivre, and headed off into the city, while Hunch Curio took Dan Fucks' unconscious body, and ended up in the car with one Justin Fication, Conrad's basset hound, all headed for Hunch's Office.
All the way across town in Cortex City, The Fix found himself face-to-face with a shadowy stranger wielding a white key made out of alien frequencies, developed in the outside world of Gobstopper Industries to alter the mind of one Elias Hodge. Indeed, what hath he created? The Fix was fast enough to leap through the window, mirroring the injury that we suddenly realise was not inflicted on Elias, but rather, Elias inflicted on himself, leaping to safety knowing that, between the rays of the psychometer or the exterior of Gobstopper Industries, one of them was solvable with the grappling gun on his belt. Leaping to the ground, The Fix broke his leg and wandered to Las Vagus Casino, initiating a huge reduction in pressure, all the way from the red back to the green, with a much needed reflexive releasing of the bowels. Apologies to all those pedestrians below, on the sidewalk outside of Gobstopper Industries.
Reconverging at Hunch's, Hunch, with a wide selection of cold steaks, restored and revivified Dan Fucks, and fixed the broken leg of The Fix. Then, for the rest of you, there was a shootout between the gangsters and the fuzz on a highway, and, I would say you stole the squad car, but, truthfully, you were given the squad car thanks to some sweet talking from Anastasia. And, all of you converged in Cortex City, headed towards, in the case of our- impulse, attention, and conscience, you headed to the Mayor's Office, where you discovered Leon Logic was not Leon Logic at all, but rather a disguised Frank Freeze: the brain's freeze response had been running the city for who knows how long. Oh, brother. But, having kidnapped him, Frank did one last thing before you sort of kidnapped the mayor, which is, let's be frank, sort of what happened. Frank turned the key and froze up the legs, ankles, and feet of the big guy to crash through the glass successfully, meaning, wherever the big guy is, he's not falling to his death, and he's not swinging on a grappling gun. However, he is, once again, inside Gobstopper Industries. Last episode was fucking packed. [...]
The Fix, Hunch, and Dan Fucks all made their way to the precinct of Mentopolis's finest, where Dan was given up for arrest. Dan went upstairs with Justin Fication, the loyal hound still looking for his beloved boy, and you met the Chief of Police, while The Fix and Hunch went downstairs to discover the evidence of Norrell Ojjicle's murder, where you discovered a copper gun, much like the supplements related to the copper filaments that Elias had said would inhibit the worst impact of his psychometer from potentially altering thoughts, a copper gun used at the crime scene, but not the murder weapon, that crossed out, and instead stated only as an exhibit. Where we also saw The Fix meet one Pasha N., a forensic scientist buried in the basement of the precinct, working on filing evidence away, and, as they exchanged fun facts, we saw, on her desk, a picture of her long lost brother, Ichabod Ice Skates. Meanwhile, upstairs, Dan Fucks killed the Chief of Police. Completely inadvertently, but the more I thought about it, the more I was like, oh, pleasure was literally restrained, and, in trying to break out of the restraints, killed Tightass, so there you go. [...] Pleasure unleashed. Bam! I guess if you shit while swinging through the sky, [...] things are going to get shifted around in there.
All of you got back out to the street, converged, jumped into the squad car, and took off towards Thalamus & Sons, the shop that sold Norrell Ojiccle this strange weapon made of copper. And, with that, we begin our episode. [...] That last episode was wild, how much happened. The squad car zips through the streets. Still, you see there's some-"
