Bo Peep uses a non-sentient one in 4 as a grappling hook

And in the first movie they show a See ‘n Say being alive in but in 3 a seemingly lifeless one is being used as a gambling machine so who knows how any of it works

Alternatively, anyone from Hatchetfield would be so dead against the Yeerks. Except maybe Lex and Hannah if Webby warns them.

Jake doesn't know what girl convinced Tom to go see a musical but he must have taken to it since he was singing showtunes in the shower the next morning loud enough to be heard down the hall. Though that wasn't as weird as Tom's offer to make Jake breakfast before school.

Jake doesn't have time though. He and Marco had been out late at the mall, and he's running late for school. On the way Marco tells him that a meteor crashed into the theater while they were at the arcade. But Tom was clearly fine so it couldn't have been that bad.

When they get to school they are dragged into the boys bathroom by Tobias who tries to warn them that something is wrong. They don't believe him until Tobias' bullies find them and go into a full West Side Story style musical number.

They escape and find Rachel and Cassie, also under attack from a musical number, and they all get out of the school together. Tobias remembers a friend of his dad who is a Doomsday prepper and they decide to go to his place. They run into Eva on the way and she also song-attacks them but they incapacitate her and bring her along.

Gafinilan and Mertil have no issue believing them. It's what they've prepped for after all and Eva's clearly infected with slug-like blue shit. But then she recovers from what should have been a fatal wound. I think this is where we lose Marco. Eva tricks him into getting too close.

Jake and Rachel leave to try and rescue Melissa. Rachel goes down fighting but Jake escapes and gets picked up by government agent Ax. ("Wear a watch. -awtch.") Ax has a rescue vehicle but Jake won't escape without the others.

Cousins, have you seen all our cool Guests of Honor (@meganwhalenturner @idiopathicsmile)? Is there anyone whose work you haven't read yet? There's still plenty of time to do so!
