## Introduction

The introduction is an in universe ad read for Swallows Ice Cream by Rebecca Swallows-Oak-Garcia

## Rad Facts

* Taylor Swift (Freddie Wong): Taylor has an anime body pillow with two anime girls on both sides.
* Lincoln Li-Wilson (Matt Arnold): He woke up with a Usual Suspects moment where he realized that Grant's favorite movies were all Sniper themed, and he can predict physics of optics and how far away something is. Therefore Link is very good at knowing the wind and how it'll affect his long kicks in football.
* Normal Oak (Will Campos): Norm likes Marvel movies. He thinks they're pretty good but they're a little long.
* Theresa "Terry/Scary" Marlowe's (Beth May): Last year Scary really wanted to get a tongue ring and her mom said no, so to simulate it she put a binder clip on the end of her tongue but cut the circulation off and had to go to the nurses office with a blueish black tongue.
* Dungeon Master (Anthony Burch): The first movie Anthony ever made was a book project where you had to make a movie trailer to prove you'd read the book, and that book was Chuck Palahniuk's Lullaby

## Plot Summary

### The FBI is Listening

Rebecca Swallows-Oak-Garcia, teaching the teen’s government class, explains that she has invited the Mayor and will be hosting a mock debate the next day. Lincoln Li-Wilson asks for him and the teens (as well as a disguised Agent Mae Hailes) to leave to go to the bathroom, which he then promptly takes them all to the gross bathroom inside of the D.A.D.D.I.E.S. HQ.

Link proceeds to say that he has a weird growth on his back and attempts to use code language with the rest of the team while writing down "The FBI are listening" on a piece of paper. Scary Marlowe says “FBI” out loud, then says it’s an acronym for “Female Body Inspector” with a successful deception check that distracts the FBI agent on the other end of the line. Link tells Taylor Swift that the yellow bracelet he gave him at the dance was from the FBI and that he was pressured into giving it to Taylor because they were threatening his fathers.

Taylor is unable to take off the bracelet without something bad triggering and Scary’s *Remove Curse* spell did not work on it. Taylor then goes to the sink and runs water over the bracelet as they continue the conversation. Normal Oak starts to wave his hands under the hand blow-dryer to make even more noise. After some confusion with Normal, Link clarifies that the code word for the Mayor is Bear. Scary then proceeds to swap the code words so that they can talk normally.

The team discusses how they might kill the mayor, and Taylor texts his mom Cassandra Swift if he could bring his friends over for dinner. She says she’s going to be home late but would order pizza for him. Taylor then acts like the FBI cannot hear him because of the water noise, but Lincoln tackles him to muffle his voice. Mae Hailes brings in a big roll of butcher paper and a lot of sharpies, and they’re able to have a conversation fully written out. Before they do that, though, Scary says she could sing one of her songs into the microphone so that the FBI can’t hear them and Link tackles her as well.

Written, Normal asks if anyone has seen Will Smith’s *Enemy of the State*, to which Lincoln writes that it’s one of Grant’s favorite and is crying. Normal proposes that they wrap chicken wire and metal around Taylor’s hand and put a cast over it to jam the signal. Scary spends a while misspelling ‘Hypothetical’.

Link suggests that they’ll have to actually break Taylor’s arm as the FBI will know if they faked a doctor’s report. Mae Hailes says they could simply remove Taylor’s arm, which Taylor, understandably, is not cool with. Taylor then has the idea to wear a ventriloquist dummy on his arm. Normal is very receptive to the idea and reveals a dummy of Teeny the Teen in his HQ cubby.

Mae Hailes says she’ll be able to make a Faraday cage that fits inside Tiny Teeny, and Lincoln shows everyone a drawing he made of them holding hands that says “Once again, I just want to say I'm very sorry” and a very heartfelt apology. Will makes the funniest joke ever about being at capacity helping someone else in crisis, and then Normal gives Link a hug.

Taking cues from NASA, Normal also puts an MP3/Anagram Generator Mini player inside of Tiny Teeny that’s playing marching band music.

### De-Sauce Resource

Taylor is super cool going back to school with a ventriloquist dummy on his arm, so everyone thinks it’s really awesome. Presumably this happened after everything, because the teens are still talking inside of the HQ.

The team decides to go to the Whale to ask if they can de-sauce someone, though Mae Hailes insists that killing the Mayor is their best bet. Lincoln tells her about seeing Grant and how Grant told him not to kill, though Scary says one of them can just step up and kill her instead of Link.

Jimmy explains that in order to de-sauce someone, you would need to reverse the desire that allowed The Doodler to take root inside of them. Then, the Doodler will no longer consider them a viable host. Normal concludes that they have to debate the Mayor, and the teens proceed to watch Andrew Neil destroying Ben Shapiro on a YouTube video. As they return to the class, the teens volunteer to debate the Mayor.

Mrs. Swallows-Oak-Garcia tells them that the teens are able to pick the topic of the debate as the Mayor is so confident that she can win.

### The Sleepover

Lincoln checks in with Marco to see if he’s okay and Marco is psyched to learn that Link already has friends. Their pizza arrives, delivered to them by Hero Oak, Normal's older sister. Taylor answers the door in his sleek, silk, tuxedo pajamas with a sophisticated Tuxedo Mask rose embroidered on it. Hero makes fun of him for still liking Sailor Moon and leaves without a tip. She has a Tuxedo Mask sticker on her car, and it is revealed that he’s her favorite anime character.

The teens proceed to investigate the Mayor and do research on her. They find an article detailing the Mayor’s mother as someone who was a mayor of a larger town but had died halfway through her first term in a car accident “and that everything she's been doing has been out of a pathetic misguided attempt to get her mother's love”. They decide on the topic of “should Mother’s Day continue to be a holiday?” with the Mayor taking the side that it shouldn’t.

As a plan B, to kill the Mayor, Taylor insists on using the Machine and goading her into pressing the button. They go on for a long time on how they’d theoretically get her to push the button, but it literally doesn’t matter in the end so whatever.

Mae Hailes, who is also there, starts to get weird vibes. Link casts *Detect Good and Evil* and senses evil underneath Taylor’s bed, deciding to look underneath because he feels bad for betraying his friends. Normal attaches to his back like a backpack. From underneath Taylor’s bed out comes the Mayor, just a real horrifying looking woman, and Taylor immediately goes to stab her with his Zephyr Strike. He misses.

The Mayor tells them she knows their plan for the debate and that she will not press the button on the Machine. Normal asks her what she’d like to debate about and the Mayor responds by saying she’ll show them something she’s very bad at debating: Whether he -- as in Nicholas Foster is here or not here. The Mayor takes Taylor’s arm and rips off Tiny Teeny, saying “Nicholas Foster’s right here, right now” into the bracelet which activates and puts electricity through Taylor.

A glowing outline of a rectangle appears and creates a door through which people in hazmat suits come out and grab Taylor. Link grabs Taylor and Scary grabs Link, and Link decides to go with Taylor as he’s pulled away from Scary and Norm. Normal is about to go through the portal as well, but sees that Scary can’t make it and decides to stay back with her so that she’s not alone. Normal gives Taylor Tiny Teeny, Taylor asks for his gun instead, but the portal closes.

Scary turns to the Mayor, fails at making a Your Mom joke, and the Mayor kisses Scary on the forehead saying she'll see her tomorrow at the debate.

## Quotes

* "Will any of these items cause me to, for example, lose, mm, functionality in, let's say, my primary jerking hand?" - *Taylor Swift*

## Trivia

* The title is a reference to the Slumber Party Massacre franchise, which began with The Slumber Party Massacre in 1982.
* After the episode where the FBI approached Link, Anthony had emailed Matt what they did to him. You can find out what was on that email in the Teen Talk of this episode.
* Taylor's handwriting is perfect manga hand lettering. He also writes right to left.
* This is the website that Anthony looked up during this episode (because obviously we all need to make Faraday Cages at some point in our lives).

## Continuity

* Anthony rolled to see if Scary would die in any of the next 60 episodes (because she is left handed). She did not.
