It’s Cake Week this week, and our star bakers – Claudia Kishi, Mary Anne Spier, and Shea Rodowsky – are getting ready to wow the judges with their rat poison and salt chocolate-cherry gateau. Better keep this one away from Mr. Spier though, because he’s got a strange glint in his eye that suggests he has other plans for this naughty little dessert. … And the devil laughs.

The Entity is back! And we wrote an incredible mystery book. We think we’ll really get a kick out of where our episode goes this week. We filled the episode with laughs and sound effects and whales and human children! Listen to our screams of glee as we study the whales! Listen to the our chorus of shrieks! “The whales!”, we shout, “the whales!” We also discuss alternate worlds, bug balls, how we pronounce the word “emu’ and we made the whole episode epistolary because we needed cover for the fact that Tanner’s co-working space was so full of people, so don’t be surprised if we hear from our friends Goliath and Mark Markson.

It’s an Evil Episode this week, folks. Everything that should be right-side-up is upside down. Everything that should be clockwise is widdershins, and everything that should be “hoorah!” is just “Wa.” What does that mean for you? Well, for one thing the (Evil) boys talk about sports. A lot. And Bib Fortuna. And there’s an ancient evil lurking deep in Stoneybrook’s past that is reaching out its tendrils through the clocks to collapse time and space and swallow the BSC in the nameless void. So, not all that different from a non-evil episode, but please do be very careful with this one.

Welcome to the City Council meeting for Palo City! Quite a full agenda this week, as we’ll need to decide whether or not to cancel Halloween this year and declare martial law, or whether to just allow these vicious Supernatural Murder Clowns to run rampant through our beautiful town, leaving rivers of blood and carnage in their wake. We will also be standing in judgement of Dawn Schaefer, because we’re all getting pretty tired of her inability to pick a coast to live on. And if anyone knows what’s behind that small, creepy door that definitely wasn’t in this room before, now would be a great time to speak up ...

Have you ever looked at a photograph that really made you laugh? Like, why were your eyes so red and what the hell was on Joey’s head? That’s precisely what Claudia and her friends in the Baby-Sitter’s Club did this week, except instead of red eyes, it was red hands! Because they caught someone stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars red-handed! And instead of wondering what what the hell is on Joey’s head, they’re wondering if head’s will role when the Stoneybrook PD finally catches up to the bank heist bandit. Also, Tanner has a kid now, which is pretty exciting. Sorry about all the Dad Talk™.

Your two favorite disaffected but lovable Goths sink their Hot Topic fangs into more ‘90s horror this week, with a bone-chilling look at the famously “cursed” straight-to-TV vampire movie “Little Vampires.” Filmed on location in Stoneybrook, CT, where a number of near-fatal accidents disrupted the set (until the would-be-murderer was captured by a pair of meddling baby-sitters) “Little Vampires” stars heartthrob Carson Fraser (more famous for his role in “Miami Beach, USA”) and P.S. 162’s Derek Masters. The unsolved mystery here is why the Director chose to film this one in Stoneybrook, of all places, but it’s fair to say that the sleepy Connecticut town was … not prepared.

We got ‘em! These dangerous Private Investigators have made their last mistake, and as soon as we release this damning report to the world, Mary Anne, Kristy, Stacey, Claudia, and Jessi will have their detectives’ licenses permanently revoked. Another job well done by the Internal Investigations team, who have uncovered countless procedural errors, including illegally assuming false identities to antagonize peaceful protestors, overzealous prosecution of fashion crimes, and endangering a small child. We also discovered something very spooky and evil lurking in the dark corners of this town, so we’d like to wrap this case right away so we can get out of here as soon as possible! Oh, and we’d like to recommend an extremely promising new recruit named Alan Gray for the team. This kid’s gonna go far.

Hang ten, Riptide Babies! Your favorite cheeba/Stoppard heads, Weed Lord and Half-Pipe, are back all the way from sunny California! The fog is rolling in and the screamers are out for blood, so ghouls and grommets alike should paddle in, because when the surfer ghost is out to get you, you’re bound to get got. Also, there really wasn’t a B-plot this week, so don’t expect to hear much about one. Party on, Riptide Babies! And don’t forget to save a toke for me! (A toke of drugs, to be clear.)

There’s suddenly a massive, new, multi-story, premiere art gallery in Stoneybrook, which would be enough of a mystery by itself if it weren’t for the mystery of how many freaking crimes are getting committed in this darn thing! Not to mention the mystery of all the “Lewks” Baby-Sitters Club Art Director Hodges Soileau is serving this week and whether he is, in fact, Daddy. Then there’s the mystery of the Skeleton Faction, the number 1016, and what, precisely, Claudia is wearing this week. Fortunately we have two of the world’s biggest idiots on the case, so expect plenty of coherent answers to all of these questions!

Bad news. Stacey is a crime girl again. She just can’t help herself, she’s as drawn to crime as she is hot and horny young men, like Terry/David Hoyt/Hawthorne. This week, the girls solve a mystery, but like, an actual mystery. Who is trying to pass off counterfeit bills all over Stoneybrook? Is it the nefarious English teacher, Mr. Fisk? Is it Stacey’s new lover? Is it the savior of the Dunmer people and the hero of Morrowind, the Nerevarine? You’ll have to listen to find out.

The boys are elbows deep in Boethius this week as they take a trip with Kristy and the Krashers to a mansion that is haunted by the angry, vengeful ghost of The Patriarchy itself. Meanwhile, the Pike boys are living backwards, Mary Anne finds a runaway bride in a sewing shop, and a couple of experts drop by to offer their thoughtful, modern, and inspired expertise in what is sure to become an instant classic segment for our most fashion forward listeners. As usual, a surprising and possibly unwelcome amount of poetry, and this week … some insight into what may have happened on those fateful days leading up to June 10.

This week, Jessi and Quint break it off. But not before they harass two master actors and probable lovers by accusing them of crimes and stalking them across New York City. Meanwhile, the boys talk fatherhood, the boys that make them horny, the Nickelodeon show Doug, old Don Hertzfeld shorts, and their mutual friend Gus. (Hi Gus!) Also, Ellen and Ann forgot to put a mystery in this one. Oh well!

A searing indictment of Minnesota’s police force specifically, this brave episode goes where no previous episode has dared to go: Right to the source of all the True Crime that everybody’s doing these days! And that includes the international dong-thievery that is taking place in Stoneybrook itself, the cat kissing and the dog licking that is all too rampant in today’s society, and the equally troubling (if not technically illegal) way in which Mary Anne talks about Dawn’s mom’s perfectly nice tofu curry. Alright, people, let’s find out who’s been stealing all these dogs! (Spoilers for Beastmaster.)

“Mystery” is generous for this book because there was not really much of a mystery, but it was a pretty fun book and discussion! When Janine “The Janenius” Kishi begins to act strange around her family, they begin to wonder if she’s fallen in with a bad crowd. But, she hasn’t. She just has a super hunky boyfriend now called Jerry. Mystery solved. Lots of X eye for the Y guy discussion, so all the ~fashionistas~ out there in Baby Nation should get a kick out of Jack and Tanner’s complete misunderstanding of all things fashion.

Prepare to dive headfirst into a world of intrigue and MYSTERY! To unlock the SECRETS of Mary Anne’s origins; to decipher the PUZZLE of the universe’s most mysterious clock; the RIDDLE of Logan’s nipples; the ENIGMA of the Warp Whistles in Super Mario Bros. 3; and the REBUS that is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s most MYSTERIOUS film. Most importantly, prepare to solve the perplexing CONUNDRUM of whether the boys are going to find an insanely complex and breathtakingly chaotic way of doing segments, which are traditionally supposed to provide structural simplicity and order! And, of course, prepare yourself for an answer to the greatest MYSTERY of all: What on Earth are these boys going to talk about now that they’ve read all the main canon books and Super Specials????? (Oh, also, prepare to cry, because this one's a sad one.)

The boys originally wanted to buy themselves a week to figure out what they’re going to do now that they’re out of Super Special books, but boy did they have fun watching the Baby-Sitters Club movie, or as Jack repeatedly called it, “the book.” Ann, Dalene, and Susan DeSanto confirmed so many popular theories this week, and they did so VISUALLY. Economy of Holes! Bread theory! Living Dolls! Bees! Magical Owls! All that and more!

This is a time for sobriety and reflection as the boys gaze bravely into oblivion. Shattered by the loss of a dear, innocent friend who was betrayed by those who should have protected him, they must step forward, alone, into a future devoid of Super Specials. But before they do, a loving look back at this really great final book! Jessi has committed a series of cold-blooded murders, Alan Gray’s joined the Stoneybrook Liberation Front, and Kristy’s doing kissing and arm stuff with a Canadian! This is Pete Lerangis’s swan song and his magnum opus and it is so much better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
