Music.
(00:07):
There's my car, but where's Arch? Do you hear that? What?
Splashing. We do now. Help! Over there. I'll dive in. Hang on.
Why are you taking off your belt?
Because it's also a telescoping tether. Really? So it's in your shoes?
The phone? No. Shark repellents. Arch, hatch!
(00:27):
I got it! Come! Up on the dock. Here you go.
Thank God you guys came by. I don't know how much longer I could have lasted.
What were you doing in the water, man?
And if you say the backstroke, I'm throwing you back in. Well,
this is no time for comedy.
That woman stomped on my foot in her stiletto heel and pushed me into the water. Why would she do that?
(00:52):
Because I tried to stop her when I heard her tell the man piloting the tender
boat that they were going to ransom both Giancarlo Rossi and Annabelle Huntington Wentworth.
That's Anna Cat's grandmother. mother. I think Liz, Anna Kat,
and Madison are in trouble. We need to do something.
You let me dry off and get into a fresh change of clothes. Oh,
Liv, how do you do that? Very well.
(01:14):
Where did you come from? That's classified.
Come on, Archibald, let me take you home. Dr. Gregory, you'll find your gym
bag in Trevor's car. Thank you.
I suggest waiting until we leave you to go through it. And gentlemen,
next time, don't leave your phones at home.
(01:38):
Music.
Boat? What about the boat? You're already up to the boat? Well,
yeah, that was the next part of the story. But you're missing a whole bunch of stuff.
Like what? Like how I was going crazy trying to plan Maddie's bachelorette party. Really? Yeah. See?
(02:09):
Would you stop pacing? Or at least slow down? You're making me dizzy. Sorry, I'm just tense.
I had no idea. How do you throw a bachelorette party for the world's wildest bachelorettes?
Well, however you do it, I do suggest you both turn it down and do it out of costume.
There's only so much the Wales disinformation team can do, and they already
(02:33):
did most of it for your bachelorette party, Anna Catherine.
Well, maybe you could come with us to keep us out of trouble.
I'm afraid I can't. I will be working that night with the Angry American and
Undine on some kidnappings on the water.
So you can scratch Marilyn off your list as well. Ugh, darn it.
Besides, if I couldn't keep you out of trouble then, what makes you think now
(02:55):
could be any different? So you were there!
Of course. What kind of wedding planner would I be if I wasn't? This stinks.
Even my death list stinks. Well, it can't be too bad. I mean,
I'm on it. And so is the Queen of Clubs.
You're right. It stinks. I have most of the women from the Liberty Guild on here.
(03:16):
Minus Undine. Do you have Foxy? Snowy Owl's former partner? No.
If you could get those two in the same room together, that would definitely
make her bachelorette party special. Do you want to see your mother's name on there?
You do. And my grandmother.
And my cousin Mindy. Why are they on there?
(03:37):
They had such fun at my first bachelorette party that they insisted they be part of Maddie's.
Mom says Maddie's the daughter she never had. But you're her daughter. Yes, I know.
But I couldn't well leave them off with Trevor's sister Gigi and Craig's cousin Ruby being there.
Besides, that's the closest I can find to any family for Maddie. My family.
(03:58):
But Anna Cat, you cannot give Maddie the bachelorette party from Hades.
Well, that part I have figured out.
We're going to have the party on the SS Pierce. Ooh, the big casino boat.
I figure we'll let Mom and Grandma have their society party with Mindy upstairs.
And we go bonkers downstairs!
Could we please not go bonkers? I'll try my best.
(04:22):
And you say it would really make the night special if one of Madison's actual
relatives were there? It would.
If that's even possible. Let me look into it. I have resources and methods most people don't.
Didn't you yell at Diana for doing unauthorized stuff with Wales assets? sets. Well, yes, I did.
But I'll remind you that I had skills and abilities well before I started working for Wales.
(04:47):
Why do you think they recruited me in the first place? Your sunny disposition?
Music.
Don't tell me you booked this entire ship just for us. No, silly.
There are a ton of people on board.
(05:07):
In fact, I heard that Giancarlo Rossi is at the casino below deck.
So is that your surprise?
No, I'm looking for it.
It was supposed to be here already. Is the surprise your mother,
your grandmother, and your cousin? No.
They insisted on coming. Because Mom wants to throw you a party on deck.
(05:28):
But there'll be a different party below deck. Right?
This is your bachelorette party after all. So, who else is coming?
Hello, Madison. When Archie told me you were going to have a bachelorette party,
I insisted that I come celebrate with you.
Thank you, I guess. Madison!
(05:51):
Gigi, I'm so glad you could make it. You look fabulous. Thank you. So do you.
Congratulations, Maddie! It's hard to believe you're getting married.
I do wonder about that myself.
It's also hard to believe that you're here. Not as hard as it is to believe
that you're tall enough to ride this ride.
(06:13):
Penny, this is Trevor's sister, Gloria. And this is our friend,
Penny Kemper. Call me Gigi. And have you met Ruby?
No, but I've seen her in concert a million times. It's a pleasure to meet you.
So why are you here? Penny! It's okay.
Madison is becoming part of my family. You're related to Greg?
He never told us that. I get the feeling there are a lot of things Brainiac doesn't tell people.
(06:39):
Brainiac. Craig. Craig. Greg.
Does no one know his right name? Says the woman who doesn't call anyone by their right name.
Alice. So glad you could make it. Holy cow. You're Alice.
I mean, like, THE Alice.
Guilty as charged. That's me. Me? Madison, how do you know Alice?
Oh, Kitty Cat and I met her and Mindy Marshall at a retreat in the mountains.
(07:03):
By the way, where is Mindy? She said she couldn't make it, that she had someone else to be tonight.
You mean somewhere else to be tonight? Yes, that's what she meant.
I'm so proud. My little girl is getting married.
Your little girl got married months ago. Don't mind her, Anna,
honey. Your mother has been mixing things up for a long time. Mother.
(07:28):
Gigi, this is my mother, Adrienne Walker. And this is my grandma,
Annabelle Huntington Wentworth.
As in the Huntington Wentworths. That's what it says on the buildings we endow.
And this is my cousin, Mindy Huntington Wentworth. Pleasure to meet you.
Hors d'oeuvres? Excuse me a second. Hey!
(07:48):
Hors d'oeuvres? None right now, thanks.
Hors d'oeuvres? You can stop hiding behind me now. Sorry.
Uh, this is the go-forth party, right? Yes, that's correct. Good. She's all yours.
Well, you don't have to be like that just because a girl gets confused and walks into the men's room.
(08:09):
Excuse me? Who are you?
Elspeth. Elspeth Halsey. I'm here for Hortense's party. Hortense? Hortense!
My, my, look how you've grown.
Um, my name is Anna. Over here. And it's medicine now, Cousin Elspeth. Oh, it's you.
(08:34):
I should have known. Give your cousin a hug, love. I thought you were dead.
That's what I wanted them to think, love. You wanted them to think you were dead?
Who did you want to think you were dead? Why did you want them to think you were dead?
How come you aren't dead? Who is this person again?
(08:57):
Madison's cousin. Hey, all these questions makes a girl want to have a drink.
This was your big surprise. Surprise.
So, about that drink. Well, I am definitely surprised.
I could use that drink. How on earth did you find her? Olive did.
(09:18):
I still could use that drink.
Why on earth did you find her? I thought it would be a nice surprise to have
someone from your family here.
Lord, I could still use that drink. I'll go get you a drink. Oh, good.
Because I could still use that drink. So, again, if everyone would take a seat. Grab the blunt.
(09:42):
Shut up.
It's the Queen of Hearts and her pips. Who thought that was Gladys Knight?
Now that I have your attention, if somebody would bring Giancarlo Rossi to me,
then this cheerleader here won't get a gunpowder piercing.
How are you over there? That woman isn't me. Amazing grace.
(10:05):
Music.
(10:27):
Boss, look. Well, I do declare we have a genuine superhero on board. My old friend Alice.
But you better stay where you are. One press of this button in your headband
will give you an electroconvulsive shock.
You wouldn't. She has once before. They're working on shielding for it.
(10:48):
But not fast enough, I'm afraid.
You think you're a big woman. But you're really rather small.
What do you mean? Shrink down to three feet tall, Alice.
Now. Unless you'd like me to shoot her. Do it, Alice. Please.
Now, take that headband off and throw it overboard.
(11:08):
There. And where is Giancarlo Rossi?
Right here. Why do you want me? I don't want you, Gianni.
I want your money. I have maybe $50 in my wallet. Not your pocket change.
What was that you told me before? I'd make more money ransoming you?
(11:30):
Me and my big mouth. So take out your phone and call whomever it is you need to call.
Sure thing. Not there.
That's odd. What? My phone. She is missing.
I must have left it on the bar at the nightclub. Search him. Okay.
(11:51):
Hey, he ain't got no phone on him. Serious. Fine.
Have the bridge crew go full stop, while the Six of Hearts and I take a boat
back to the shore to get his phone.
Which nightclub? The Magic Maiden.
Lock the cheerleader and those others in the stateroom until I get back.
All right, you heard her.
(12:14):
I don't know why they're ransoming him.
I'm worth way more than he is. Is that right? Mother.
Hey, Deuce! What is it? We got a two-for-one. This old bat says she's loaded.
Keep her above deck with Russ. You can't do that.
This one is a daughter. Keep her, too.
(12:34):
Anyone else related? Nope.
In you go. Mindy, why did you say that? We can't very well do anything up there, can we?
Right. We could have wiped the floor with them. Not without endangering a bunch of civilians.
(12:55):
And giving away a whole bunch of trade secrets. I'll deal with that in a second.
First, I'm going to call Olive.
No service. Too bad this isn't a satellite phone. I thought I saw one in the
room next to ours. But how do we get over there?
We don't. But Alice does.
Penny, give Alice a piggyback ride. What? See that vent? Aha. Aha! And a cat? Going up.
(13:23):
I can reach it. Back in a flat.
Music.
Hector, I thought I called Trevor. You did.
He's, uh, indisposed. He's what?
He's in the can. Is Craig there? He's in the can, too. They're in the bathroom together?
(13:49):
Uh... Upstairs. Downstairs. One is upstairs and one is downstairs.
Hector, get the phone to my father. Okay, here. Hi, baby. Daddy, I heard that.
We can talk about what Trevor and Craig are doing later. Right now,
I need you to do something for me.
There's an app on Trevor's phone to call or send messages to the...
(14:12):
Company I sometimes...
Drive for at night. I need you to send a message for me with it.
I'm looking at his screen now.
What does it look like? A magnifying glass with an eye in the loop. Okay, I found it.
But why can't you send it yourself from your phone? There's no service on my phone.
This is a sat phone. And you remember Trevor's number? I'm impressed.
(14:36):
Okay, I've opened it. Okay, select Olive from his contacts.
His administrative assistant, Olive? She works for the company too? Daddy, focus.
Type, Grandma and Mom are being held for ransom.
Requesting backup. Daddy, Maddie and I have it handled. We just need some help with the passengers.
(14:58):
Okay, sent. Daddy, Mom and Grandma will be alright. I promise.
And once we're done, I'll call you back.
Because I want to know just what Trevor and Craig are doing.
I love you, Daddy. I love you too, Princess.
I want to know where those two are as well. We'll have plenty of time for that
after we figure out how to get out of here.
I have been trying to come up with a way, but I haven't figured one out yet.
(15:24):
I appreciate you trying, Mindy. But I could get us out of here anytime I wanted.
Just not without spilling a secret. Me too. I could just... No, it's my fault.
So I should be the one. I don't understand. How are you and a cat supposed to
get us out of a locked room with solid metal ship stores?
(15:45):
Are you like a locksmith on the side or something? No, Gigi.
See, there's something about me you don't know.
I'm really Amazing Woman. Who's Amazing Woman? Not now, Cousin Elspeth. Really?
Yeah, like my brother could marry Amazing Woman. He'd be lucky if you didn't
(16:07):
stutter trying to ask you out.
Well, he did stammer a bit, but he didn't know I was Amazing Woman at the time.
You are really trying to sell the bit. It's not a bit.
I really am Amazing Woman. And in a second, I'll prove it to you by yanking that door open.
Well, while we're telling secrets... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, you door, your hair.
(16:30):
No, I don't dye my hair. But it was red when you were little. It was not.
At least, I don't think it was. Anyway, it's not now, and may I get my point?
Fine. I, Madison Goforth, were also the fabulous red light. The who? Really?
(16:50):
Pinch me. Amulet pinched her. Ow!
How did you... You mean to say that you... Yeah, she is.
And I'm Penny. A millionaire man in Penny. Well, that one makes sense. No pun intended.
When you're in England, do you call yourself? paints.
I'm going to ignore that. Well, you already know that I'm Alice.
(17:14):
Being eight feet tall when I met you was a clue.
You know, you're really not that tall, right? And I used to be the queen of clubs. Used to be, Liz.
That woman isn't me. How can I be on a speedboat back to shore and here at the same time?
Mirrors. You have enough of them. At least I'm tall enough to see into one.
(17:37):
And what about you, Ruby? I'm just Craig's cousin and a famous singer.
Besides, I wouldn't be caught dead in stretch fabric. Any more confessions?
I'm thinking of starting a podcast.
Really, I don't know why you all think this is the right time for a gag. It's not a gag.
Well, I'm not buying it. But you are buying drinks, right? Oh, hush.
(17:58):
Gigi, I'm Snowy Owl. And we don't have time for this.
Grandma and Aunt Adrian are out there there, Anna Cat. Rip the door open, please.
Hold on. You're Mindy Huntington Wentworth, my cousin.
Snowy Owl is- Mindy Marshall, yeah. I'm her, too. Rip the door open,
(18:19):
please, and hold your breath.
What is that?
Mindy. I told you to hold your breath.
Well, hopefully they'll wake up soon. Let me change into costume.
Geez. Sorry. I didn't know you were in here, Fanta. But you knew I was on board.
(18:42):
I saw you trying to hide behind Alice. Yeah, about that. We can talk about all that later.
Let's suit up and get this boat back.
Snowy Owl and Foxy ride again. I'm surprised you let them get the drop on you.
I couldn't let Grandma know I'm a costumed crime fighter, after all. Point.
(19:05):
Above that. I'm sorry. I've never been ransomed before.
I'm not sure whom I should call. Call Charles.
What's my butler going to do? Dust off the money? What about Mr.
Milburn at the bank? I don't have his home phone number. Amber,
what kind of a woman do you take me for? Call Richard.
(19:28):
He would know who to call. Who's Richard? My husband.
Maybe he'd pay us to keep her. That's not funny. It sort of is. Mother?
Back. And we have to hurry. Millionaire Man is in the area.
How do you know? He gave me a ride back to the speedboat. She can't figure out who to call.
(19:53):
Forget her. Uh, here, Rossi, dial the number. The only number you're getting
will be on your prison jumpsuit.
Snowy Owl and Foxy. Yes, you are.
Who's side are you on? Get them!
Music.
I've got my eyes on you, pal.
(20:21):
This fox gives socks.
Lord, he saved me from the bad puns. Who had them?
Dr. Calculus? Shoot him! Not while he's carrying me. I'm getting out of here.
Hello. Are you happy to see me? Auntie!
(20:44):
Let's scram before the Liberty Guild grabs us all. It's too late for that.
You're all under my weight. I'm not.
Music.
Owl, Foxy, and Alice went off to have a conversation. But not before Penny got
a chance to make fun of how sure Alice was.
(21:05):
Made sure the other guys got home all right, then met Annie Cat and a bunch
of the doc. And Maddie and Craig went off to do... what they usually do.
But before that, Giancarlo Rossi had us pose for another picture.
This one. Cute!
So, what was Mindy's gas for? It's a sedative that induces short-term amnesia.
(21:25):
That way, none of the civilian women there would remember Anna Cat's identity.
Or Maddie's, or Penny's, or Mindy's. But how do you know about that? She told me about it.
Since when do you two talk? I'll tell you about it later.
But wait. You breathed in the gas, too.
I did. And I forgot, too. But later, Mindy came over, asked my cousin,
(21:50):
and confessed the whole thing.
Well, not everything. thing. What do you mean?
She told me who she really was weeks ago. We are definitely having a talk later.
Well, thanks for telling me about this.
I'm glad I checked on you after the whole alternate reality thing.
For next time, Anna Kat, if you're going to have a blowout with your friends,
(22:13):
you simply have to invite me.
Okay, I will. You'll be there for the wedding, though? After these stories,
I wouldn't miss it for the multiverse.
And she just stepped into the mirror and disappeared.
(22:35):
I will never get used to all of this weirdness. Join the club.
So, are you still glad you married me? Am I glad I married you? Let me think. Yes.
Are you glad you married boring old me? me yes i could use a lot more boring
in my life hey you know what i mean but i have another question for you,
(22:59):
What was Lenny's niece blackmailing him about? I don't know,
but he seemed bound and determined not to let it get out, whatever it is.
I'll try asking him about it next time I see him, which will probably be tomorrow at dinner.
We'd better cancel any evening plans, because with Lenny, I'm sure it's a long
(23:20):
story. A very long story.

But I couldn't well leave them off with Trevor's sister Gigi and Craig's cousin Ruby being there.
Besides, that's the closest I can find to any family for Maddie. My family.
(03:58):
But Anna Cat, you cannot give Maddie the bachelorette party from Hades.
Well, that part I have figured out.
We're going to have the party on the SS Pierce. Ooh, the big casino boat.
I figure we'll let Mom and Grandma have their society party with Mindy upstairs.
And we go bonkers downstairs!
Could we please not go bonkers? I'll try my best.
(04:22):
And you say it would really make the night special if one of Madison's actual
relatives were there? It would.
If that's even possible. Let me look into it. I have resources and methods most people don't.
Didn't you yell at Diana for doing unauthorized stuff with Wales assets? sets. Well, yes, I did.
But I'll remind you that I had skills and abilities well before I started working for Wales.
(04:47):
Why do you think they recruited me in the first place? Your sunny disposition?
Music.
Don't tell me you booked this entire ship just for us. No, silly.
There are a ton of people on board.
(05:07):
In fact, I heard that Giancarlo Rossi is at the casino below deck.
So is that your surprise?
No, I'm looking for it.
It was supposed to be here already. Is the surprise your mother,
your grandmother, and your cousin? No.
They insisted on coming. Because Mom wants to throw you a party on deck.
(05:28):
But there'll be a different party below deck. Right?
This is your bachelorette party after all. So, who else is coming?
Hello, Madison. When Archie told me you were going to have a bachelorette party,
I insisted that I come celebrate with you.
Thank you, I guess. Madison!
(05:51):
Gigi, I'm so glad you could make it. You look fabulous. Thank you. So do you.
Congratulations, Maddie! It's hard to believe you're getting married.
I do wonder about that myself.
It's also hard to believe that you're here. Not as hard as it is to believe
that you're tall enough to ride this ride.
(06:13):
Penny, this is Trevor's sister, Gloria. And this is our friend,
Penny Kemper. Call me Gigi. And have you met Ruby?
No, but I've seen her in concert a million times. It's a pleasure to meet you.
So why are you here? Penny! It's okay.
Madison is becoming part of my family. You're related to Greg?
He never told us that. I get the feeling there are a lot of things Brainiac doesn't tell people.
(06:39):
Brainiac. Craig. Craig. Greg.
Does no one know his right name? Says the woman who doesn't call anyone by their right name.
Alice. So glad you could make it. Holy cow. You're Alice.
I mean, like, THE Alice.
Guilty as charged. That's me. Me? Madison, how do you know Alice?
Oh, Kitty Cat and I met her and Mindy Marshall at a retreat in the mountains.
(07:03):
By the way, where is Mindy? She said she couldn't make it, that she had someone else to be tonight.
You mean somewhere else to be tonight? Yes, that's what she meant.
I'm so proud. My little girl is getting married.
Your little girl got married months ago. Don't mind her, Anna,
honey. Your mother has been mixing things up for a long time. Mother.
(07:28):
Gigi, this is my mother, Adrienne Walker. And this is my grandma,
Annabelle Huntington Wentworth.
As in the Huntington Wentworths. That's what it says on the buildings we endow.
And this is my cousin, Mindy Huntington Wentworth. Pleasure to meet you.
Hors d'oeuvres? Excuse me a second. Hey!
(07:48):
Hors d'oeuvres? None right now, thanks.
Hors d'oeuvres? You can stop hiding behind me now. Sorry.
Uh, this is the go-forth party, right? Yes, that's correct. Good. She's all yours.
Well, you don't have to be like that just because a girl gets confused and walks into the men's room.
(08:09):
Excuse me? Who are you?
Elspeth. Elspeth Halsey. I'm here for Hortense's party. Hortense? Hortense!
My, my, look how you've grown.
Um, my name is Anna. Over here. And it's medicine now, Cousin Elspeth. Oh, it's you.
(08:34):
I should have known. Give your cousin a hug, love. I thought you were dead.
That's what I wanted them to think, love. You wanted them to think you were dead?
Who did you want to think you were dead? Why did you want them to think you were dead?
How come you aren't dead? Who is this person again?
(08:57):
Madison's cousin. Hey, all these questions makes a girl want to have a drink.
This was your big surprise. Surprise.
So, about that drink. Well, I am definitely surprised.
I could use that drink. How on earth did you find her? Olive did.
(09:18):
I still could use that drink.
Why on earth did you find her? I thought it would be a nice surprise to have
someone from your family here.
Lord, I could still use that drink. I'll go get you a drink. Oh, good.
Because I could still use that drink. So, again, if everyone would take a seat. Grab the blunt.
(09:42):
Shut up.
It's the Queen of Hearts and her pips. Who thought that was Gladys Knight?
Now that I have your attention, if somebody would bring Giancarlo Rossi to me,
then this cheerleader here won't get a gunpowder piercing.
How are you over there? That woman isn't me. Amazing grace.
(10:05):
Music.
(10:27):
Boss, look. Well, I do declare we have a genuine superhero on board. My old friend Alice.
But you better stay where you are. One press of this button in your headband
will give you an electroconvulsive shock.
You wouldn't. She has once before. They're working on shielding for it.
(10:48):
But not fast enough, I'm afraid.
You think you're a big woman. But you're really rather small.
What do you mean? Shrink down to three feet tall, Alice.
Now. Unless you'd like me to shoot her. Do it, Alice. Please.
Now, take that headband off and throw it overboard.
(11:08):
There. And where is Giancarlo Rossi?
Right here. Why do you want me? I don't want you, Gianni.
I want your money. I have maybe $50 in my wallet. Not your pocket change.
What was that you told me before? I'd make more money ransoming you?
(11:30):
Me and my big mouth. So take out your phone and call whomever it is you need to call.
Sure thing. Not there.
That's odd. What? My phone. She is missing.
I must have left it on the bar at the nightclub. Search him. Okay.
(11:51):
Hey, he ain't got no phone on him. Serious. Fine.
Have the bridge crew go full stop, while the Six of Hearts and I take a boat
back to the shore to get his phone.
Which nightclub? The Magic Maiden.
Lock the cheerleader and those others in the stateroom until I get back.
All right, you heard her.
(12:14):
I don't know why they're ransoming him.
I'm worth way more than he is. Is that right? Mother.
Hey, Deuce! What is it? We got a two-for-one. This old bat says she's loaded.
Keep her above deck with Russ. You can't do that.
This one is a daughter. Keep her, too.
(12:34):
Anyone else related? Nope.
In you go. Mindy, why did you say that? We can't very well do anything up there, can we?
Right. We could have wiped the floor with them. Not without endangering a bunch of civilians.
(12:55):
And giving away a whole bunch of trade secrets. I'll deal with that in a second.
First, I'm going to call Olive.
No service. Too bad this isn't a satellite phone. I thought I saw one in the
room next to ours. But how do we get over there?
We don't. But Alice does.
Penny, give Alice a piggyback ride. What? See that vent? Aha. Aha! And a cat? Going up.
(13:23):
I can reach it. Back in a flat.
Music.
Hector, I thought I called Trevor. You did.
He's, uh, indisposed. He's what?
He's in the can. Is Craig there? He's in the can, too. They're in the bathroom together?
(13:49):
Uh... Upstairs. Downstairs. One is upstairs and one is downstairs.
Hector, get the phone to my father. Okay, here. Hi, baby. Daddy, I heard that.
We can talk about what Trevor and Craig are doing later. Right now,
I need you to do something for me.
There's an app on Trevor's phone to call or send messages to the...
(14:12):
Company I sometimes...
Drive for at night. I need you to send a message for me with it.
I'm looking at his screen now.
What does it look like? A magnifying glass with an eye in the loop. Okay, I found it.
But why can't you send it yourself from your phone? There's no service on my phone.
This is a sat phone. And you remember Trevor's number? I'm impressed.
(14:36):
Okay, I've opened it. Okay, select Olive from his contacts.
His administrative assistant, Olive? She works for the company too? Daddy, focus.
Type, Grandma and Mom are being held for ransom.
Requesting backup. Daddy, Maddie and I have it handled. We just need some help with the passengers.
(14:58):
Okay, sent. Daddy, Mom and Grandma will be alright. I promise.
And once we're done, I'll call you back.
Because I want to know just what Trevor and Craig are doing.
I love you, Daddy. I love you too, Princess.
I want to know where those two are as well. We'll have plenty of time for that
after we figure out how to get out of here.
I have been trying to come up with a way, but I haven't figured one out yet.
(15:24):
I appreciate you trying, Mindy. But I could get us out of here anytime I wanted.
Just not without spilling a secret. Me too. I could just... No, it's my fault.
So I should be the one. I don't understand. How are you and a cat supposed to
get us out of a locked room with solid metal ship stores?
(15:45):
Are you like a locksmith on the side or something? No, Gigi.
See, there's something about me you don't know.
I'm really Amazing Woman. Who's Amazing Woman? Not now, Cousin Elspeth. Really?
Yeah, like my brother could marry Amazing Woman. He'd be lucky if you didn't
(16:07):
stutter trying to ask you out.
Well, he did stammer a bit, but he didn't know I was Amazing Woman at the time.
You are really trying to sell the bit. It's not a bit.
I really am Amazing Woman. And in a second, I'll prove it to you by yanking that door open.
Well, while we're telling secrets... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, you door, your hair.
(16:30):
No, I don't dye my hair. But it was red when you were little. It was not.
At least, I don't think it was. Anyway, it's not now, and may I get my point?
Fine. I, Madison Goforth, were also the fabulous red light. The who? Really?
(16:50):
Pinch me. Amulet pinched her. Ow!
How did you... You mean to say that you... Yeah, she is.
And I'm Penny. A millionaire man in Penny. Well, that one makes sense. No pun intended.
When you're in England, do you call yourself? paints.
I'm going to ignore that. Well, you already know that I'm Alice.
(17:14):
Being eight feet tall when I met you was a clue.
You know, you're really not that tall, right? And I used to be the queen of clubs. Used to be, Liz.
That woman isn't me. How can I be on a speedboat back to shore and here at the same time?
Mirrors. You have enough of them. At least I'm tall enough to see into one.
(17:37):
And what about you, Ruby? I'm just Craig's cousin and a famous singer.
Besides, I wouldn't be caught dead in stretch fabric. Any more confessions?
I'm thinking of starting a podcast.
Really, I don't know why you all think this is the right time for a gag. It's not a gag.
Well, I'm not buying it. But you are buying drinks, right? Oh, hush.
(17:58):
Gigi, I'm Snowy Owl. And we don't have time for this.
Grandma and Aunt Adrian are out there there, Anna Cat. Rip the door open, please.
Hold on. You're Mindy Huntington Wentworth, my cousin.
Snowy Owl is- Mindy Marshall, yeah. I'm her, too. Rip the door open,
(18:19):
please, and hold your breath.
What is that?
Mindy. I told you to hold your breath.
Well, hopefully they'll wake up soon. Let me change into costume.
Geez. Sorry. I didn't know you were in here, Fanta. But you knew I was on board.
(18:42):
I saw you trying to hide behind Alice. Yeah, about that. We can talk about all that later.
Let's suit up and get this boat back.
Snowy Owl and Foxy ride again. I'm surprised you let them get the drop on you.
I couldn't let Grandma know I'm a costumed crime fighter, after all. Point.
(19:05):
Above that. I'm sorry. I've never been ransomed before.
I'm not sure whom I should call. Call Charles.
What's my butler going to do? Dust off the money? What about Mr.
Milburn at the bank? I don't have his home phone number. Amber,
what kind of a woman do you take me for? Call Richard.
(19:28):
He would know who to call. Who's Richard? My husband.
Maybe he'd pay us to keep her. That's not funny. It sort of is. Mother?
Back. And we have to hurry. Millionaire Man is in the area.
How do you know? He gave me a ride back to the speedboat. She can't figure out who to call.
(19:53):
Forget her. Uh, here, Rossi, dial the number. The only number you're getting
will be on your prison jumpsuit.
Snowy Owl and Foxy. Yes, you are.
Who's side are you on? Get them!
Music.
I've got my eyes on you, pal.
(20:21):
This fox gives socks.
Lord, he saved me from the bad puns. Who had them?
Dr. Calculus? Shoot him! Not while he's carrying me. I'm getting out of here.
Hello. Are you happy to see me? Auntie!
(20:44):
Let's scram before the Liberty Guild grabs us all. It's too late for that.
You're all under my weight. I'm not.
Music.
Owl, Foxy, and Alice went off to have a conversation. But not before Penny got
a chance to make fun of how sure Alice was.
(21:05):
Made sure the other guys got home all right, then met Annie Cat and a bunch
of the doc. And Maddie and Craig went off to do... what they usually do.
But before that, Giancarlo Rossi had us pose for another picture.
This one. Cute!
So, what was Mindy's gas for? It's a sedative that induces short-term amnesia.
(21:25):
That way, none of the civilian women there would remember Anna Cat's identity.
Or Maddie's, or Penny's, or Mindy's. But how do you know about that? She told me about it.
Since when do you two talk? I'll tell you about it later.
But wait. You breathed in the gas, too.
I did. And I forgot, too. But later, Mindy came over, asked my cousin,
(21:50):
and confessed the whole thing.
Well, not everything. thing. What do you mean?
She told me who she really was weeks ago. We are definitely having a talk later.
Well, thanks for telling me about this.
I'm glad I checked on you after the whole alternate reality thing.
For next time, Anna Kat, if you're going to have a blowout with your friends,
(22:13):
you simply have to invite me.
Okay, I will. You'll be there for the wedding, though? After these stories,
I wouldn't miss it for the multiverse.
And she just stepped into the mirror and disappeared.
(22:35):
I will never get used to all of this weirdness. Join the club.
So, are you still glad you married me? Am I glad I married you? Let me think. Yes.
Are you glad you married boring old me? me yes i could use a lot more boring
in my life hey you know what i mean but i have another question for you,
(22:59):
What was Lenny's niece blackmailing him about? I don't know,
but he seemed bound and determined not to let it get out, whatever it is.
I'll try asking him about it next time I see him, which will probably be tomorrow at dinner.
We'd better cancel any evening plans, because with Lenny, I'm sure it's a long
