What is going on? Lets find out.
Maybe a little, but I still thought it was funny. The lady at the printing press was great, as AE also mentioned. I really hope we hear more from her and Polehaus again at some point in the future, because I really enjoyed their interactions! She needs to take him up on that offer for dinner one day.Leonard Meltsner wrote:I absolutely LOVED that line about faking the heart attack with Polehaus, thought when I heard it, I thought it seemed a little harsh for Odyssey maybe?
I disagree, I think that Penny is more-likely to used by the bad guys with out her knowing it. I am more suspicious of her professor.I've been suspicious of Penny since she first made an appearance, and now even more so after the poster thing and trying to befriend Connie when she sees Connie is a good "forger."

Making a mistake makes her suspicious? People make mistakes all the time. The fact she want Connie to go into art cloning business, to me seems more like that she is going to be used or being used by the bad guys.yeah, what's the deal with Penny saying she met him twice; "the first time to... the second time to... and the third time to..." ?

Making a mistake like that makes her suspicious. The writers wouldn't put it in for no reason... I don't think. >_<Moontide wrote:Making a mistake makes her suspicious?

And the next episode is in for the Green Ring Conspiracy! And now, with all pardons to my giving away information that I shouldn’t *cough*Christian*cough*youknowhatImeanwhenIsayyou*cough*, let’s begin!
So Buck *thinks* he has the job, except for that one “hiccup” in the plan. Quickly resolved, however, it looks like Katrina will be meeting Mr. Skint and Buck at the carnival. Anyone think that Katrina would think this was kind of suspicious? I feel sorry for Buck because of how Skint is manipulating him to do what he wants. Yes, Buck isn’t totally innocent (as we kind of see...in another episode *cough*Christian*), but Skint’s been using him for his own good, as we’ve seen and will see *cough*. Only time will tell if Buck is going to realize that Skint isn’t doing this just “for survival”, but if he has darker motives.
In the next scene, Matthew is frustrated with the Appleberry as he goes, “What am I gonna do with this thing?!” Is it just me, or did that first line seem kind of...not well said? It’s just a picky little thing, but that sounded staged. Anyways, Jay comes in and comments on Matthew’s hair. He notices that stuff? And why did he have to recite Shakespeare with a bowling pin on his head? A new form of detention by some wacky teacher? One more of those unanswered questions, just like the echo of a duck. Blah. For a second, I’d just like to say something about Jay. He’s become my favorite character since the start. He’s a bully, yes, but he’s not like Rodney who had nothing likable about him. At least Jay shows his softer side when he’s talking with Uncle Wally about his past. Deep down in there, he’s a really good person. And I’m sure he would have been much better if Christian’s April Fool’s blog post about Unbecoming Jay had been really true. *cough*Christian*cough* But...he has a weakness and has trouble doing manual labor. But he actually did it! And he...*gasp* survived! Let’s give it up for Jay! We also see that Wally may have something to use that GPS for. Hmm....
Back at Whit’s house, Polehaus and Whit try to figure out what’s up with that disk. With a clue, they head on out on another lead. Monty’s wanting to be involved in the mystery seems a bit like what I thought he’d be. With Whit telling him to rest, and his constantly asking, it made them seem more like a real family, if you catch my drift. And Connie...could really stop screaming. Please.
As Matthew and Emily go over to Whit’s End, Emily kind of seems better than she did last time she and her sidekick were around. Maybe her being smitten with Buck made him nice to her. But only for a bit, as she ends by telling him he’s so exasperating. Emily is the one who’s really annoying. If she left, I wouldn’t give her a second thought.
Despite Skint’s wise planning for the most part, I think he kind of slipped here. Because by the way he was acting, being suspicious and leaving some clues as to what he was doing, Skint wasn’t covering his trails well. Which is why Wally decided to go after him. Jay goes to do his uncle’s bidding by using the GPS (aha! So it was used after all!) that Matthew had been working on. Buck and Jay don’t make it off to a very good start (not that they had ‘earlier’) as Jay scares Buck away with all his weird truck noises. Yep, it’s not exactly the best way to make friends. Take it from me, take it from Buck, and hopefully take it from what Jay’s thought. But is Wally’s hunch right?
Meanwhile, Whit and Polehaus go to Renco’s Printing to find about who commissioned the company to print the poster. Polehaus doesn’t make a good impression with the lady, as she calls him “brutally terse”. Could she really possibly like Polehaus? No...However, something else is found out. Could Trask have something to do with it? And is Penny involved also? I wonder...
At Whit’s End, Matthew and Emily are with Eugene as Eugene’s trying to fix the Barrymore train set. Why was this mentioned? Could this have something to do with the whole conspiracy somehow? Or is it just like Emily says, something guys never need to know? Only time will tell, I hope. Anyways, in the basement, Matthew shows Eugene the Appleberry, and Eugene uses a program to try to figure it out. What is the password? I’ll give you a hint. We’ve heard about it before.
The next scene shows a little bit more about Buck and his longing for a real home. Here it shows us some more about Buck’s character. Despite how misguided he his...this just shows that he really is just like us all. Often we think villains are cold and heartless people, but they have feelings just like us.
Moving back to the plot, it seems like Connie’s gaining brownie points with Trask. Is he gonna ask her to join the conspiracy? Or does have Penny have a part? And why won’t wit let Connie start a business?! The little scene while Penny and Connie wait for Whit and Polehaus to get there is funny, and it’s amazing how our conscience works on us when a policeman comes near us. Maybe we can learn from her? Well, at least there was enough strudel for everyone!
Anyway, Skint has a “long, stringy beard with a stringy accent”, as we get to find out. No, the beard doesn’t have an accent. The lips between the middle of his beard do! Do you understand? If not, sympathize with Whit and Connie. But, we do find out some more about it. So Penny did the drawing, the carnival paid Trask, and everything still hasn’t been made very clear! Just what on earth is going on?
With Wally and Jay trying to find out more about Buck, and Whit and Polehaus trying to find the other connections, and Connie, Eugene, Katrina, Penny, Matthew, and the others fitting the puzzle pieces, only time can tell what’s going to happen. So many questions! So many answers! And of course, I can’t say anymore. *clamps down*
