Cut to the Plantar House

Polly: Whoa!

She laughs

Polly: Whoo!

She laughs

Polly: Higher!

She screams

Sprig: Huh?

Hop Pop: Huh?

Polly: Aaah!

Sub-Zero: Who said that!

Anne: Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys! Look!

Polly: What are we looking at here?

Anne: Suspicion Island. It's, like, my favorite show. 

Sub-Zero: I've got the new season and didn't even know it. It must have auto-downloaded before Sub-Zero and Anne got here.

Sprig: Who's this Otto?

Polly: And how did you download him?

Anne: Just watch.

She beeps the Anne phone button

Suspicion Island Narrator: Previously on Suspicion Island...

Peruvia: I've got a lot of feelings about this place.

Sprig: Look! More Annes and More Sub-Zeroes!

Polly: Ha ha! They have noses.

Randy: I feel like everyone on this island is suspicious, Peruvia, except you!

Peruvia: But, Randy, I think you're suspicious!

Randy: Nooooooo!!!

Suspicious Island Narrator: Suspicion Island. If you don't stay suspicious, you won't stay alive.

Explosion

Hop Pop: What is this demonic nonsense?

Anne: Hop Pop, this show's got beautiful people doing dumb things while stuff explodes! It's literally perfect.

Sprig: Awesome!

Sub-Zero/Polly: Let's do it!

Hop Pop: Now, hold on. Instead of that garbage, how 'bout I treat you to some real entertainment?

Sprig and Polly: Oh, no.

Hop Pop: A scene from The Shallow Pond.

He clear throat

Hop Pop: Sadness. The world is sadness. But look. There. A pond! Is it deep? Or shallow?

They chanting

Sprig, Polly, Anne, Sub-Zero: Suspicion Island! Suspicion Island! Suspicion Island!

Hop Pop: Okay! Fine!

Anne: Whoo-hoo!

Sprig: Yes!

Polly: Yeah!

Sub-Zero: Oh, yeah!

Hop Pop: But just one.

Smash to Anne and Sub-Zero and the Plantars watching the show into the night; Anne, Sprig, Sub-Zero and Polly are engrossed, eyes bloodshot and veiny, while Hop Pop isn't interested.

Chad: It can't be, Vivica. These pterodactyls are clones of... my dead brother!

She gasps

Anne: NO WAY.

Hop Pop rolls his eyes and grumbles.

Vivica is taken away on a pterodactyl.

Chad: NOOOOO!
