“There’s Always a Way…Sometimes,” Episode 8

Nicki and Gneeecey have inadvertently traveled to Planet HyenaZitania, ruled by Gneeecey’s evil, more sophisticated double, Ebegneeezer Gesundheit Eeeceygnay. The two find themselves imprisoned in a cold cell in a medieval stone tower. Chanting zombies mill about in the courtyard below, chomping greedily on orange and grape flavored gelatin brains.

Petrified and shivering, Nicki and Gneeecey realize that they’ll end up down there with the walking dead if they don’t come up, by daybreak, with answers to Ebegneeezer’s nonsensical questions.

The planet’s two suns set, and Nicki and Gneeecey, consumed with worry, can’t sleep. Nicki swears that she sees a red electronic light blink overhead but questions how this could be possible in such a primitive structure. She and Gneeecey take turns confessing deep, dark secrets to each other. 

After Nicki recalls that adventure, she’s more than alarmed that she can’t remember how she and Gneeecey got out of the whole jam. Nicki and Gneeecey arrive at their therapy appointment with veggie meatball shop owner and licensed therapist Ingabore Scriblig, AKA, Grandma. Nicki needs to discuss the memory problems that plague her. Gneeecey interrupts her immediately and goes on to hog the session, claiming that he’s more important than Nicki. He brags that he’s the one “wit’ all the stinkin’ issues, not her!” He complains to Grandma about nightmares caused by watching monster movies before bedtime. Afterward, he’s too scared to get out of bed when he needs to use the bathroom. The results, he says, are not good. When Grandma advises Gneeecey that he’s watching too many scary movies, he suddenly has to leave.
