Anywhoo, sorry about the misleading poll. I thought I put in the right number! *blames the people who voted but never said anything*
GRC Episode Six is now reviewed!
Episode Six
Whit and
Polehaus come back to Monty (who’s confused as to why on earth they’re full
with strudel) and tell him that the mystery man at the dock and the guy who
told Penny to do the painting are one and the same! Of course, we know that’s
Skint. They don’t. Ahh, the glories of getting to be everywhere. I mean, do you
think it’s right for Polehaus to be suspicious of every Haggler? Yeah, if I’ve
had a bad run in with some guy, I’ll probably be more cautios. But Polehaus has
taken it to some extremes...but, one of his ideas could make some sense. Could
the carnival be the way to distribute the money? Polehaus is so distrusting,
and Whit is the exact opposite. Somehow, this isn’t like the original Whit I
remember...he seems a little dumber now, needing Monty to spell everything out.
BLARGH! But Monty comes up with a wonderful formula:
Everything>>Carnival>>Green
Ring Conspiracy
So off to the
carnival they are!
Meanwhile, Penny is complaining
about involved bananas and Connie’s talking about Polehaus and Whit. Penny...drives...me...(in)sane.
And...*drumroll* ENTER WOOTON!
*promptly dies*
And with Wooton and Penny, I can
conclude the rest of the season is a total fail. *end of review*
....
....
Not so fast,
Slappy, I ain’t done here. But..Wooton and Penny together hit it off, and that
means I’m hitting my head, headdesking, and facepalming. They start rambling
about conundrum clubs and a whole lot of silly things. WHY DO THE WRITERS HAVE
TO PUT ME THROUGH TORTURE?! *dies* In other words, let’s skip the rest of this
scene.
As the machine
continues to grind away trying to find the password, Emily comes back in her
snobby mood. Stop talking, Emily. You’re soooo annoying. You and Penny and
Wooton should stay together in some cage. Fortunately, she leaves immediately
and Katrina comes back. Somehow, I wonder why she didn’t insist harder for
Skint to come to Whit’s End....Somehow, I think she would have been smarter to
that. And Matthew sums up him and Emily perfectly: I’m me; she’s her. QFT!
So Monty’s the
clown? Monty the clown (who’s either funnier or creepier)! Somehow, I figured
out from the start that Monty was gonna not obey Polehaus by staying still. And
time does reveal whether or not Monty takes action...
*cheesy carnival
music follows* Noo...it’s Penny and Wooton again! *facepalms*headdesk* Let’s
just...skip this again. One line only: I never kid about licorice.
Anyway, our
little detective team (that’s Whit and Polehaus to you) meet Archie Haggler
himself, live and in person! And he sounds downright spooky in that...good sort
of way. He sounds like if he started laughing, he couldn’t stop. And then he’d
be really freaky. And his way of acting so innocent...something’s rotten about
him. Archie sounds so fake, I’m positive he’s on the whole thing.
Katrina goes
over to meet up with Skint, and I wish that Katrina demanded that Skint come
over to them. Seriously, why wouldn’t she? It was just so wrong!
*skips the next
scene*
Anyways...back
to Katrina...Skint was just so...well, he wasn’t acting smart. Avoiding the
questions, trying to cut to the papers. For a smart man (or is he?) he really
has some problems when it comes to this...and because Katrina seemed
so..oblivious, she lets Buck come to work without any questions. Katrina.
Puh-leeze. Anyways, Buck goes, and Monty comes. Katrina leaves just before, and
Monty...doesn’t listen to the advice of his sages. And because he didn’t look
behind him...he was knocked. Now, who knocked Monty out? And...where will they
take him?
*commercial
music*
Buck and Emily are next. Emily:
Hiiii...*prompt swoon* Basically, this is what happens:
Emily: Yo, Matt, sup? This is
Buck.
Matthew: Uh, hi—
Emily: Duuuude. I’m talking to my
man here!
Matthew: But I—
Emily: Shut up, kid.
Matthew: What?
Emily: So, Buck...*sweet voice* Here
with anyone?
Buck: No, m’lady. We can go to
the front of the line for that ride because I’ve connections.
Emily: Oooh! *fangirl swoon*trots
after Buck, literally leaving Matthew behind*
We finally get
to hear the Haggler brothers, and they don’t seem to be on very good terms
whatsoever. Plus, we find out that Jay’s parents are Nick and Sylvia (no, not
Betty and Reggie!), and that his name is *not* Jim. Does Archie seem like he’s
up to something? And is he involved? Somehow, he really does sound evil.
And...enter my detective team, and Wally and Joe...er, Jay. Anyways, Archie
makes it off as even nastier after he tells them that he couldn’t find anything
and snobs it in about a warrant. Yes, my fillings hurt. Oh...wait. I don’t have
fillings.
Anyways, Buck
and Emily are far off, long having lost Matthew. Buck lies through his teeth,
manipulating Emily to help him in his evil schemes. And...where is Matthew?
Something’s wrong. Buck doesn’t even care that Matthew’s gone, and Emily
doesn’t really mind that much for crying out loud.
After Katrina
goes to find Buck, Connie and Matthew sit together and mope. If there’s anyone
I really commiserate with, it’s Connie and Matthew. The two derelicts are
feeling left behind by their traitor-friends. Anyways, Jay pops out through the
trash can and says, “Buck can’t be trusted.” “Why?” asks Matthew. “Because he’s
not to be trusted!” Yeah...that helped. Boy, is everything going weird or
what?!
Little Miss (I
meant Mrs.!) Katrina drags Mr. Eugene off with them. Seriously, to some degree
Katrina is a little too obsessed with this whole thing. Anyways, she seems
really suspicious about the house. And will she find out that Buck really
doesn’t live there? After that, she goes to take a ride on the Tilt n Whirl
with Eugene, who goes, “Woww! Who-WHOA!” Yah, he didn’t scream. Not one bit.
The detectives
realize that Monty’s done his disappearing trick again. AGAIN? Oh...well, maybe
not on purpose. Whit realizes that there’s a little smudge of face paint on the
ground. What did he do? Did he press his face on the ground? Polehaus goes and
leaves Whit, who breathes a prayer, not knowing where on earth Monty is. Yet he
turns to One source which can help him: God. And only God can help Matthew and
Emily, Whit and Monty, Penny and Wooton, Connie and Penny, Katrina and Buck,
Polehaus and his gang, and the others make sense of the Green Ring Conspiracy.
This was one of
the best episodes, mainly because of all the parts going on at the carnival. It
had a plethora of characters to keep one interested, and we finally see a
slightly bigger moral as Whit prays for Monty. So I’ll give this 9.5/10 stars.
Stay tuned to see what happens to Monty next time!
