Get Thee to a Monastery: Arletta, Shelley, Rhonda and Brandi visit the former monastery that was the Light Cousins' HQ in earlier Wars. While searching the library they find a book: "Mississauga: Translating the Phonetic Interpretation of this Archaic Language to English." Recalling that the place was built on and from rocks, Arletta and Shelley get the others checking for carved rocks as they 'have' to return to Cerk... Parties Happen (2 parts): Brandi and Rhonda return in time to get ready for the UF party. After War 11, where Janette made them wear designer outfits, the Cousins are dressing down for her party. Arletta manages to squeeze Shelley, Rhonda, Brandi, and an extremely pregnant Becky into her car - only to find on arrival that Marci had snuck in for the trip. Becky's glitter sneakers have a hypnotic effect on the others. Shelley spends the evening avoiding LC and chugging wine coolers. Shortly before midnight, Arletta has the task of rounding up the very tipsy Cousins - Becky uses her fascinating sneakers to lure three to the car, Rhonda is offered more wine, and Shelley goes when threatened with LC and his credit card. Time is of the essence.. but why? A Gift, A Curse, A Destiny: Bonnie is searching for something - an answer. Tok appears in front of her desk, for a talk... As Bonnie worries what could be wrong, Tok advises that absolutely *no-one* - not even Vachon - has filed a complaint against her. The Cousinly Receptionist-in-Training (CRIT) is no more - Bonnie is now officially the Cousinly Receptionist. Leaving her dog Brandon in charge of reception, she heads for the alleyway behind CERK, where she ceremoniously dumps the Spiderman costume she had to wear and the candy she had to give out every Halloween per LC's orders.
