## Plot Summary

Three weeks since the Taffy Train incident and Villestown is in worse condition than ever. Everyone is fearful and mistrustful. Lutin and Winter return to their apartment only to find two witches, Rhode Is-And and Maggie Cirros from the Brecht Brigade, awaiting their meeting with Lutin. Lutin is surprised (as he had forgotten about the meeting), initially acting scatterbrained and talking non-stop about nothing in particular while Winter sniffs through their belongings to confirm that they aren't under a suggestion spell. That taken care off he apologises and begins the meeting in earnest.

Maggie is bashful and nervous but Rhode is mistrustful (due to Lutin being half reelkind). Maggie explains that with things being as bad as it is the pair, along with several others, have formed a watchdog group called the Brecht Brigade, aimed to help toons in need. They offer an alliance in the form of information for information.

Lutin agrees to this and, to help gain their trust, tells them all that he has learnt so far about the Taffy Train incident. He has managed to get interviews from some of the staff about the movie filming being done and the prank that DJ Mooves and Dora had planned (that Dora then took drastically too far). However, he has no idea what happened after the murder and Dora's plan was revealed, as none of those witnesses were there for that part. There's also been the added complication that a bunch of the statements he collected he can't publish due to so many people retracting them (most likely from all of the suggestion spells being used).

Rhode, upset that her idol (the Engineer) is being slandered, asks if he's been able to get an interview with DJ Mooves. Lutin responds with a negative. Due to all of the terrible press coverage, DJ Mooves has stopped giving interviews. Maggie points out that they're not reporters, just people wanting to get to the bottom of things. With this in mind, Lutin asks if they could find out what happened from DJ Mooves and try and get him to agree to a published interview. In the mean time they can judge from his latest publications whether he is trustworthy or not.

Rhode agrees to this, already thinking up who would be best for the job. Maggie offers Lutin the tin of coookies she brought with her. Winter steals the cookies/dog biscuits box while the two blush at each other. Getting ready to go, Maggie tells Rhode to go on ahead. Once they are alone, she asks him if he remembers her from a few years ago when he helped her up after the crook he had been chasing pushed her over. She tells him that she's been wanting to meet him again to thank him and that she thinks his reporting work is very good. This causes Lutin to also blush and stutter. Rhode then sticks her head back through the door to offer a café for the two of them to go visit together. After a bit more awkward conversation, the pair organise to meet up again and the witches leave.
