## Official Episode Description

Welcome to the City Council meeting for Palo City! Quite a full agenda this week, as we’ll need to decide whether or not to cancel Halloween this year and declare martial law, or whether to just allow these vicious Supernatural Murder Clowns to run rampant through our beautiful town, leaving rivers of blood and carnage in their wake. We will also be standing in judgement of Dawn Schaefer, because we’re all getting pretty tired of her inability to pick a coast to live on. And if anyone knows what’s behind that small, creepy door that definitely wasn’t in this room before, now would be a great time to speak up ...

## Segments

###  Burn Of The Week

A very good burn
That stings you so right
A knife that doth turn.
It gets in your head
But oh so soon:
It will cause me to call
The burn unit.
—inspired by "The Sick Rose" by William Blake

Tanner's burn is on Jack because Jack is short for a man.

###  Guessing the Mystery

Baby Bee Liz's song intros the segment.

Brother of the boy with the troubled dad (Jack); kid's dad trying to make amends. (It was the mom.)

###  Miles Moment

Or such exuberant songs
Should grace the pages of this book
Or anywhere belong
Yet joy and good we still find though
Her song rings out for miles
She blesses us, and expels our woe
And we are struck with smiles
 — based on Thomas Hardy "The Darkling Thrush"

Tanner/Jack: "early American Ninja Turtle"; both then discuss their own childhood bedroom decorations

###  Soileau You Into the Dark

Baby Bee Carys did a Gothic version, omg. And Baby Bee Erin sent in a new rap for Tanner to sing afterwards. A+++

The discussion is about the person in the background on the cover. There is a tie-in to BSCMC 008: Jessi and the Jewel Thieves.
