"All right Milo, spill the beans," Foamy said as she leaned on the counter across from where her house guest was sitting. Just as Milo was about to tell Foamy about his predicament, Jimmy started freaking out and shouted, "DON'T SAY BEANS!" Foamy rushed over to her husband and tried to comfort him. He was having war flashbacks. "Don't say beans, don't say beans..." he kept on repeating and curled into a ball on the kitchen floor. "Shhh...it's okay..." Foamy said, stroking Jimmy's hair. After some time, Jimmy regained his composure and went back to blending his zucchini smoothie. Foamy returned to the island and asked Milo over the noise of the blender, "SORRY ABOUT THAT, WHAT WERE YOU SAYING BEFORE?" Milo shouted back, "WAIT, I'M CONFUSED. WHY CAN'T WE SAY THE B-WORD?" Foamy loudly explained that the word "beans" sometimes triggered a trauma response in Jimmy's mind and the minds of her friends because of Broberg's frequent use of the phrase "cool beans." Then it all became clear to Milo. He now knew for certain who was behind the mysterious phone call. It had to be John Broberg. He was back. Foamy could see the wheels spinning in Milo's head when all of a sudden, Jackie and Naomi came somersaulting rapidly down the stairs. "Foamy, have you seen the group chat?" Jackie shouted. Foamy responded, "No, my phone's upstairs. What's going on?" Jackie shoved her telephone in the face of Foam. Foamy read the messages that were sent in the Mosh Pit Dancers group chat to find out that her friends Elizabeth, Grace and Meghan had all received strange phone calls.
