    This answers the question of the TW’s intentions. Seems she wasn’t clueless and knew what she was doing.

    Every member of the rescue team had an important role to play in this saga. Things would not have proceeded to this point if even one of the team had failed in their tasks. I like that. And, at the very least, the next two days are going to be verrrry interesting.

    I remember being on lunch duty when we all heard a scream from the playground that was not a playful scream but a scream of pain. The cashier immediately jumped up and ran out through the kitchen calling the name of her son. A moment later she came back into the cafeteria with the arm around her boy whose arm was bent at a place below the elbow indicating a severe break. A mother recognizes the distress call of her own child even amid the inside noise of a full cafeteria and the outside noise of noon recess. (The paramedics had to yank the bone back into position as soon as they got to the school because the break was so bad it was cutting off circulation. That was a scream I never want to hear again.)

    Of course I am THRILLED that things are finally all coming together here for Sophie and all the rescuers. But I think I’m not quite understanding all the connections Georgia planned here.

    How did ‘Seeing the June bug’ lead to ‘Gotta get back inside’ and then ‘Can I use your bathroom ?’

    What can Sophie’s woman do if formerly tidy woman refuses to open the bathroom door? If she believes there is an animal in danger, does that qualify as “exigent circumstances” and give her the right to force the door open?

    John Denver: Calypso

    Fall from a window on a night full of starlight

    Waiting for rescue when sunrise begins

    Taken by someone who may or may not mean well

    Waiting for rescue and missing my friends!

    …….

    Ah, my friends who did not give up to find me

    To the rescue they all did arrive

    Now my Woman has come to the rescue!

    I’ll send her my yodel, my hopes all revive!

    …….

    Me-ee-ow-ow! And maybe a purr!

    Me-ee-ow-ow! Here I am!

    Me-ee-ow-ow! I knew you’d come through!

    Me-ee-ow-ow! My spirits revive once again!

    …….

    Trying to remember the lessons I’ve learned

    Reading the diary of Dear Lady Jane

    Know in my heart my friends would come through now

    Knowing my hopes were never in vain!

    …….

    Ah, my friends who did not give up to find me

    To the rescue they all did arrive

    Now my Woman has come to the rescue!

    I’ll send her my yodel, my hopes all revive!

    …….

    Me-ee-ow-ow! And maybe a purr!

    Me-ee-ow-ow! Here I am!

    Me-ee-ow-ow! I knew you’d come through!

    Me-ee-ow-ow! My spirits revive once again!

    At the Royal Palace, Elvis’s Office

    Kat-Mandu: Special papyrus deliver for Elvis!

    Elvis-Anum: Just in time! We’ve won the Papyrus Cathalon! How about a celebratory scone and tea?

    Kat-Mandu: Yes. A Xanadu honey scone would not come amiss.

    Elvis: It just so happens Sue Chef has completed a batch.

    At the Royal Snack Room

    Kat-Mandu: Delicious as always, Sue. Have you heard from Thomios?

    Sue Chef: Yes. He and Packer (Iron Glove’s younger brother) are in Away cooking for the athletes in the Village.

    Kat: They are all in for a treat. And here come the Artisans!

    Sophititi: Congratulations on your Catathlon win. I hear you took the Gold.

    Elvis: Well, not quite.

    Adobe Style: But you came in first, didn’t you?

    Kat: Yes. But there is a complication.

    Maat-Tilda: What happened?

    Elvis: Ora Z.

    Kat: But we’ll be awarded the Gold when she’s done playing with it.

    Isn’t that Tommy’s person, who runs the rescue, not the woman who lives in the Pink house who would be Sophie’s person? Doesn’t Sophie live in the pink house with the rest of the BKN primary bunch? Or has my MECFS brain muddled things up?

    What an ironic twist of fate. Who knew that a woman’s need to pee would lead to the solving of such a great mystery. If only Hercule Poirot had, had a weak bladder, many a mystery would have been solved at a much more rapid pace.

    so many questions!

    is Sophie & Tommy’s Woman wearing a protective white jumpsuit? (raccoon proof?)

    will Jules play a larger role?

    it feels like “Sophie & her Woman are reunited & go home now” is to simple of a wrap up.

    I am preparing myself for a cliffhanger on Saturday.

    Since Georgia titled this arc “Sophie’s Summer Adventure”, I don’t think she is done with us yet. I hope that:

    1. Violet cuts the power again just as the bathroom door is opened (remember, Violet said she wanted to)

    2. Gutter sweeps down from the ceiling vent on the grappling hook to help Sophie out of TW’s house

    3. Sophie makes her way home through the woods with Gutter’s help meeting new friends along the way ( a big confidence boost for her)

    4. the robber mice grab Li’l Starfish Squeaker before they leave and return it to her at home

    While the calendar has flipped, I do still hope Jules (in comic time) will dive-bomb (U)TW a few times — with his iconic “Hee hee!”

    On another note, and this might have been mentioned when Chitter and Chatter first found Sophie, I was wondering how they knew to look more closely if the alarms were so sensitive. I finally thought of a possibility — they would have known what the car looked like, so maybe they saw it in the driveway.

    Additionally, I imagine the Tidy Couple have a garage, so maybe it was left out to be washed. If so, I do hope the Chickadees did a strafing run or two, a la The Goodfeathers in a particular Animaniacs short.
