Meanwhile, Jax sends his spider to check out the barn and finds it is a menagerie with various animals and a dryad. His spider climbs down the chimney and sees a middle-aged lady has tied up two dryads and has stuffed them into a pot. She is sprinkling with 2 tablespoons of chili powder, 2 tablespoons paprika, 2 tablespoons of.

Um I mean members of my breakfast club.” Swot removes the tablecloth. Swot, “Looks like they not happy.” Lois snatches the tablecloth away from Swot and covers the dryads again.</p><p></p><p>Lois, “Of course they not happy you broke down the door and interrupted their resting state. It takes about three hours in brine. UM. You woke them up.”</p><p></p><p>Kait getting tired of the word play casts darkness and attacks Lois blooding her nose. Lois responses by plane shifting away.
