Pocahontas's office at Witch's Cove
Pocahontas: Now that Nakoma has joined us, we can talk. Nakoma, this gentleman is a private investigator. He's looking for information about our father.
Nakoma: Last we knew, he was in Virginia. About ten years ago.
P.I.: Anakin is the younger brother and Pernilla Dancer is his mother. I understand both of them live here in Barbieville now and that she's signed over custody to you and your husband. I'd like to speak to them, and to Albus Dumbledore.
Pocahontas: I can give Pern and Albus your card, but it's going to be their choice if they want to talk to you. Neither one of them is president of Cash's fan club.
P.I.: I understand. The trail's gone cold. I'm hoping to get some insight into his thinking by speaking to those who knew him. I've already determined that he's definitely got a thing for women of Native descent. He's claimed membership in several tribes across the country.
Nakoma (after he's gone): That is one sexy dude.
Pocahontas: I'm more interested in his client. Why's someone tracking Cash down?

Speaking of Albus, he's at lunch with the pretty young thing Pocahontas recently hired to coordinate shows at Witch's Cove.
Tierra: What do you think? Could we pull off a show of this caliber in the current venue?
Albus: We'd have to scale it back some, but I think we could make it work. You know your stuff, that's for sure. The costumed characters have so much positive feedback, it's ridiculous.
Tierra: Since it's Witch's Cove, we call them familiars. I never heard of a witch with a panda familiar, but buying assorted mascot costumes at that price, we took what we could get.

The Sulu family enjoys a rare lunch together across the restaurant.
Vivica: How come Mattie went away? We just now dopted her!
Lynch: Her musical talent was going to waste here. Remember what Finnick Pike told us about her, like two days after her arrival?
Bobby (imitating Finnick): She should be giving me guitar lessons, not the other way around. You should see about a music scholarship at Julie's Yard. (To Vivica) Some day Mattie will be rich and famous. Wait and see.
Vivica: But I miss her so bad!
Rafe: Geeze, Viv, we just put her on the bus five minutes ago.
Sulu: We're all going to miss Mattie. And I'm sure she'll miss us.
Rafe: Yeah, she still misses her foster sisters from before you adopted her. I don't miss my foster anybodies. Mine all sucked.
Lynch: Rayford Sulu! I'm sure hey did their best.

At the mayor's office, some personal drama goes down.
Rose-Grace: Brent proposed? Why do you look less than happy?
Kyra: They've inherited their parents' ranch and the whole lot of them are moving to Montana. Bertie and Daisy have both put in their notice at work.
Rose-Grace: That's nuts. Bertie just got the anchor position at WDLC!
Kyra: Bertie can't wait to move her lesbian Hispanic self into their house. She says she can find news work out there, and Daisy really misses Montana.
Rose-Grace: So if you accept his proposal, you'll be leaving?
Lex: Sorry to interrupt. I hope this isn't a bad time.
Rose-Grace: Aren't you from the county oversight committee?
Lex: I am. We've received report of irregularities in the establishment of Helena House.
Kyra: I assure you, everything about Helena House is above-board.
Lex: Mayor Pike acquired the property from a family friend and hired a relative to run the children's home. And who are you, anyway?
Kyra: I'm her executive assistant.
Lex: That brings you under suspicion as well.
