YOU'RE THE ONE WITH THE PROBLEM.

By now the children are all too familiar with their own predicament and the recurring fictional conventions that are turning their life into a hideous joke, but as yet they are powerless against it. Another new dwelling, another new guardian, or set of guardians, a mixture of venal and well-meaning in this instance, and it's only a matter of time before you-know-who shows up and starts some incomprehensible plot mechanism turning. In this episode the stakes are even higher - it's not enough to foil Olaf's plans to take their fortune, they must also find, if they can, and rescue the Quagmire triplets. Bigger mysteries are beginning to emerge as well - not just the mysterious VFD, but other hints as well of larger, darker secrets.
