Years after Alice returned from Wonderland, she's now a grown woman in New York City. She's a successful writer and her daughter is just as precocious and stubborn as she is. But when she starts hearing whispers again, will she once again venture down the rabbit hole to save Wonderland from a Madder than usual Hatter, a broken clock, and perpetual Tea Time?

"I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole. A diggy diggy hole. A diggy diggy hole." --Christian, that's racist against dwarves. --Hey, I didn't make her Scottish, ok?

Welcome to E Block in Cook County Jail. For their heinous crimes, our hotsy totsy dames Mona, Junie, and Katalina, have landed themselves in the Slammer. --The Big House. The Clink. The Pokey. (Which considering how hot Jack the guard is, are the names of some of the positions they might be inventing soon. No? Too Much? Does anyone even read these episode descriptions?)

It is said that Christmas-time is holly-jolly for all, 
But the Grinch on Mount Crumpit? No, it fills him with gall. 
The Whos down in Whoville, they like Christmas a lot,But old Grinchy’s not a fan— “Santa can rot!”For reasons unknown, or perhaps reasons petty,he snuck down to Whoville, like some thieving yeti.
