Wrong address! Anybody wanna bet it’s accidental?

A’h called it. This little ol’ tale wuz a’ goin’ south an’ fast! :/

I think that several people called this twist.

What’s with all the claw marks on the door?

Doh!! That heart-stopping moment where back-up arrives precisely at the right time…at the wrong place

Oooops. Stake out failure!!!!! And she dont look like a Jehovah Witness

Now that’s interesting. Did Portia officially change her address? Otherwise, why is there a duck living in her apartment? Is the duck part of the plot?

Is that Howard the Duck?

Wally had to live in a boarding house until his apartment was assigned. Linda had a place assigned to her, but it also looked like a boarding house. Someone assigns apartments as they become available. Someone kept the fact that Wilf Weasel’s apartment was vacant quiet for 3 years—and that was the apartment where the meat was being smoked. Now Portia’s apartment has been assigned to someone else. So…why was that information not available to Jackrabbit and Security? It appears that Velda went to Portia’s last official address. Was that an oversight? Or is someone in security working with the “Cabal” and bending/hiding information?

Let’s hope Mr. Duck knows where the previous tenant is now. Or someone finds Walt PDQ.

I more I expected this. When you play catch up you’re always a move or three behind. The call to Portia… Walt is in the thick of it.

That’s just Ducky!

“Whoops, there it is…”

Hopefully Velda shows some Flask savy and connects Walt and Portia. Because if he finds the meat collectors with Portia in his current state? Expect a messy killing zone. Walt will rip them to tiny bits of jerky.

Velda: “I’m looking for a pig, so tall, wears glasses. Last seen whooping it up at the rat lynching.”

Duck: “Aren’t we all, darling. Aren’t we all.”

Didn’t we briefly meet him somewhere before?

“No, no, that’s DUCK. With a ‘D’, darn it.”

What the duck?!

Guess she noticed a flaw in her plan …

The best laid plans gone awry. Though with Portia being so prominent a part of this mission, one would think Jake and Velda would’ve done their homework first and verified address and such, instead of just assuming it was the same as before.

The Housing Commission surely has records of Portia now living with Walt and “Mr. Duck” now occupying Portia’s former apartment. Though as someone earlier mentioned, the records may have been falsified to mislead anyone looking for any porcine resident.

And why should a duck not be able to be the butcher?

“I’ve been watching you watching my apartment for the last few hours. I was afraid to come out!”

Them aien’t claw marks. That’s a poor paint job. See all their paint has been irradiated so after a time it starts to “orange peel.”

Looks like this might be a case of Murder Most Fowl.

I’m thinking this duck was partnered up with Dottie Proctor before she left the Examiner. Or, he was the duck who told Wally of Holly’s arrest (see Milk Trial).

Let’s hope he can tell Velda where Portia is living now… But I’m betting she may already be too late to prevent the Rump Roast.

I still say they should have discussed this with Portia first…

I take it you’re Not the Avon Lady?

That’s not Portia! It’s not Mercedes, either.
