## Official Episode Description

Everybody, in one way or another, is searching for a "Tigger" in their lives – for some people, the Tigger they are searching for is true love, for others, it's success, and for still others, it's a more inscrutable "meaning." In Mary Anne's case, it's her cat. Who went missing. We think Logan stole it.

## Ann's Epithets

Princeton’s own!

This week Jack adds “Lady” in front of Ann M Martin.

## Segments

###  Baller of the Week

Tanner: Logan, for making up the lie about a felony with the grifter kid.

Jack: “Tigger is a missing…skunk?”

###  Burn Of The Week

Jack: something Tanner already said was dumb. Claudia: “Well, it just goes to show, crime really doesn’t pay.”

Tanner: Claudia and “Elbow Pressley”.

###  Claudia's Closet

Jack tries to do an intro, and Tanner goes to open the actual door, letting Jenkins in and causing chaos.

 ###  Tearful Moment

Tanner says “I was a world-class crier in this book.”

Tanner’s sad cry: The BSC rallies around Mary Anne despite their fights. “Five heads nodded, and I began to cry.”

Tanner’s happy cry: “If I had $30, I’d buy eleven hundred racing cars. But I’d rather just have Tigger back.”

Jack: Mr. Spier hung up the posters for Tigger, even though it wasn’t his thing.

## Theories

###  Witchcraft

Logan is the devil, the snake in the grass. “Logan moved as quickly as a striking rattlesnake.” Logan is “the incredibly incredible one” (negative theology). Logan can’t cross the threshold of the Spier house. Logan, Prince of Lies.

* The language of negative theology: pseudo Dionysius, St. John and the Cross, cloud of unknowing
* ”Tigger” in quotes - so what does Tigger represent? Everyone finds a different meaning in Tigger.
* Joan of Arc

## Tanner's References

* Absurdist, Andy Kaufmann
* You’d think the Yankees and Mets would get along, too, but they don’t.
* Tanner’s go-to move is to blame someone else: “Brady Spencer”.
* Comparison of Spiderman’s origin story and how the BSC let the grifter run away.
* Mary Anne is like the little boy from The Sixth Sense.

## Notes

* Tanner predicts that things will change ten books from now.
* Mimi: “Eggplant”.
* Introduction of “Cheesesteak Jake” as a reviewer who is coming for Beefsteak Jake. Hashtag I’m with Beefsteak or Hashtag I’m with Cheesesteak.
* There is a major diversion where Tanner measures Jenkins the Cat and compares to Tigger the Cat.
* Logan’s being a real jerk. “What the fuck, Logan?”
* First mention of the Scholastic lawyers.
* Jack is Mr. Spier.
