## Official Episode Description

It’s time for another BSC: Mystery, which means it’s time for another interview, except it’s not an interview, because interviewers don’t make their guests read children’s books. Reading “Beware Dawn” with the boys this week are Katie Heaney and Arianna Rebolini, authors of the incredible new book, “Public Relations,” and apparently a very steaming piece of erotic fiction featuring an eel man. Topics of discussion include G.I. Joe used in sex play, celestial beings, bonza sheilas, King Hiss, and much, much more. (Including a little bit of Baby-Sitters Club discussion.)

Public Relations by Katie Heaney and Arianna Rebolini

## Book Description

Jack's description comes from the summary of the 2007 film Zodiac. Tanner does an excellent job describing the book.

## Segments

###  Burn Of The Week

Ariana: "When you dress like Kristy, shopping isn't exactly a thrilling adventure."

Tanner: that Mallory called her teacher mom

Katie: "the find the picture game" wasn't too hard for the 4yo

###  Claudia's Closet

Kristy's outfit, as described by Katie. Kristy doesn't have any cool clothes - she wears jeans, a turtleneck, and sneakers, every day.

###  Tanner Googles

In the stinger, Tanner Googles the names of hackers from the movie Hackers.

## Theories

###  Amber Theory

Time dilation stuff: Jaime calls everything "yesterday" or "tomorrow" no matter which day it was.

###  Doll Theory

"...nobody except Lucy's doll. And Lucy's doll was missing her head."

###  Witchcraft

"Let's All Come In" is an opening ceremony for ghosts; there is no closing ceremony.

King Hiss
* The one where the guys do an "angels singing" bit to open the episode.
