Alastor's family stands in front of the door of the Gilligan's residence, with Alastor holding Gail.

Amanda: Listen, Leboring, this internship is my life, so you better be on your best behavior so you don't mess it up like you do with everything, got it?

Alastor: If I did mess everything up, the world would be run by adults with no rights for kids.

Eunice: Now girls, I know this is Amanda's big internship but please, both of you behave...

Mr. Wink: Your...

Mr. Fibb: Selves.

Alastor and Amanda: Sim, Avó, Papai e Tio Timothy, (Yes, Grandma, Dad and Uncle Timothy) we promise The two sisters growl at each other. The door opens.

Betty: Oh, h-e-e-llo there! You must be Amanda Wehrmacht. Mrs. Sanban told me that you were gonna have an interview tonight. Oh, please, come in!

They all walk in the house.

Eunice: Thank you for inviting us into your home, Betty.

Betty: It is so nice if you to come for dinner, Mrs. Sanban.

Genki: Now, Betty. You know better than to call me Mrs. Sanban. You will address me as Madame Head of Accounting Mrs. Sanban.

Kani clears his throats.

Betty: Ooh, yes, yes!

Betty laughs.

Betty: How stupid of me. How stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

She grabbed out strands of her hair and laughs as she smooths her hair out.

Betty: Madame Head of Accounting Mrs. Sanban, sir- I-I mean ma'am.

Genki: Hello there, you must be Amanda. Your résumé was rather impressive, so, I expect big things from you tonight.

Amanda: You look amazing tonight, Mrs. Sanban and Gilligan!

Genki: You know, you're the youngest person I've ever considered having as an intern.

Kani: Hint, hint. Don't mess anything up!

Amanda: Thank you for the heads up, Mr. Sanban.

Genki: I am anticipating a most interesting dinner tonight.

Betty; Well, of course!

Betty laughs as Hoagie walks out from behind her.

Hoagie: Hi, guys!

Kuki: Hey, Numbuh 2!

Mushi: Hoagie!

She runs over and hugs Hoagie.

Alastor: Olá (Hello) Hoagie, Kuki, and Mushi.

Lee: Hey guys.

Gail: Hi! Hi!

Hoagie: Aw! Hey, Mushi and Gail!

Kani: Girls! Enough bickering!

Lydia: Hey! What's with all the racket? Where's my food? I've been waiting for hours.

Betty: Oh! This is my mother, Lydia. She's going to be joining us for dinner since I, um, I can't get her to leave.

Genki: How do you do?

She sticks out her hand as Lydia walks up to her.

Lydia: How do I do what?! What are you, a cop?

Betty laughs nervously.

Betty: Thomas! Get down here!

Tommy sits alone in his room, on a chair.

Tommy: I eat alone. For I am... The Tommy.

Thunder crashes.

Lydia: Get down here now!

Tommy shakes out of fear.

Tommy: Okay, grandma. Okay.

He chuckles as he goes downstairs.

Betty: Mom, you take our guests' coats while Hoagie shows everyone into the dining room.

Lydia and Hoagie walk off, Lydia grumbling.

Tommy: Nyah! I know. You need me to battle adult tyranny, right?

Betty pats his head.

Betty: No, no. Go help your grandma.

She walks away.

Tommy: Help grandma? Oh, for Pete's sake.

Genki and Kani remove their coats and toss them on Tommy.

Lydia: Give me that dolly thingy!

Kuki: But I brought my Posh Party Rainbow Monkey just for this party! It's got real care-and-share sighing!

She gives it a hug as it sighs. Genki, Kani, Tommy and Alastor stare at Kuki with negative expressions, Gail smiles and claps.

Tommy: La-a-me.

Alastor: Tell me about it.

Tommy looks up at Alastor and stares at her, dreamily.

Alastor: So, how's it going "The Tommy"?

Gail: Tommy Tommy!

Tommy: I'm just waiting for the right moment to pounce and stop all the adult's evil plans!

Alastor chuckles while Lee gives Tommy a sour expression.

Lee: Dude, seriously. That's my sister!

Tommy: And? I'm just talking to her!

Lee: Sure. Where does the staring and blushing come into play?

Kuki: You've been waiting all week for this party, haven't you?

Lydia: Adults can wait for a party, so just give me the stupid doll so I can eat my turkey dinner already!

She hit Kuki on the head with her cane.

Hoagie: Grandma! Remember what mom said about hitting the guests?

Lydia: Something about not before dessert or something like that.

Eunice: You should know better, Lydia.

Lydia: Just like how you should know better to not cheat at bingo?

Eunice: I did not cheat, you cheated and blamed me!

Eunice growls as Mr. Wink and Mr. Fibb grab her shoulders.

Mr. Fibb: Let's just stay calm, right Mr. Wink?

Mr. Wink: Indeed Mr. Fibb, calm down, mom.

Mr. Fibb: We asked the girls to behave.

Mr. Wink: Do we need to ask you too?

Eunice sighs.

Eunice: Obrigado (Thank you) Timothy and Johnny.

Everyone goes into the dining room and sit down in a seat while Betty sets out plates.

Betty: Oh, hello!

Betty laughs.

Betty: Don't mind me. I'll be done in a moment.

Genki: How uninteresting.

Betty shrieks and starts setting out plates faster.

Mushi: May I have a turn with your Posh Party Rainbow Monkey, sister?

Kuki: Maybe later, Mushi.

Kuki rubs her head.

Kuki: I think my head needs some Rainbow Monkey love.

Kuki placed her doll on her head and it sighs.

Mushi: Okay! I'll wait my turn.

Kani: That's it! I've had enough of your constant squabbling over that ridiculous Rainbow Monkey! "Rainbow Monkey" this, "Rainbow Monkey" that! I rue the day your mother ever bought that you that infernal toy and shattered the tranquility of our happy home!

Kani pinched the bridge of his nose, pushing up his glasses in the process.

Genki: Now, Kani, give them a chance to play with their toy. A chance I never had as a child. Oh, what I would've done for a dolly.

Genki sobs quietly while wiping away her tears.

Gail holds out Baby Bear to Genki.

Gail: Here, Mrs. Sanban, you play bear!

Alastor: Where did you get that, Gail?

Gail: Sissy Leni woom.

Gail smiles.

Amanda: Gail, we've been over this, we don't into someone's room without their permission.

Alastor: Quem transformou a velha malvada na bela rainha perversa? (Who turned the wicked old woman into the beautiful wicked queen)?

Alastor snickers.

Amanda: Lenore, I told you to please speak English tonight, so everyone can voice their opinion on what you say.

Alastor: Why do you think I speak Portuguese?

Betty brings out a platter.

Genki: That's kind of you to offer- Gail, was it? But, I don't think your sister agrees.

Betty: Oh, that doll is ruining my dinner!

Tommy: Exiled from the Kids Next Door, mine is a solo journey.

Tommy stands up in his chair as Kani turns to look at him.

Tommy: A never-ending quest to bring Justice to kids worldwide! For I am... The Tommy.

Betty sets down her platter after a few seconds of her and the Sanban parents staring at her youngest son.

Betty: Okay, there, then. Uh, turkey, anyone?

Betty laughs as the electricity crackles and goes out, making Gail start fussing. It turns back on as Gail clings to her father.

Mr. Wink: It's alright, Gail.

Mr. Fibb: It was more than likely a faulty bulb.

Betty: Oh, I'm sorry. But the electricity has been giving us problems ever since Tommy tried to wire his 2x4 technology generator.

Tommy looks away guilty. The lights go out as Kuki screams and Gail starts crying.

Kuki: P-Posh Party Rainbow Monkey!

She lifts up the tablecloth.

Kuki: Where'd it go? It can't be gone! It can't! Where is it?

She grabbed Mushi by the shoulders.

Kani: What did I say?! I am sick and tired of this constant bickering!

Kani slams his fist down a few times.

Lydia: I told you I should've taken that doll!

She waved her cane around in the air and bangs her fist on the table.

Tommy: Maybe it left on its own lonely quest for justice.

Lydia: You're not related to me, are you?

Kuki: This is not happening! This is not happening!

Betty laughs and puts a hand on Kuki's shoulder.

Betty: Just relax, deary. You wouldn't want a silly dolly to ruin such a wonderful...

Betty laughs.

Betty: Happy... Fun-time party!

Everyone mumbles to themselves.

Betty: Okay, then. Why not have the first piece of my delicious turkey?

She lifts up the lid of her platter, however, the turkey wasn't there. Only the Posh Party Rainbow Monkey with a fork in its back and x's on the eyes.

Kuki: AAAAAH!

Betty: Oh, don't tell me you're a vegetarian or something. I mean, it's just a turkey. Yah! Aah! I'm so fired.

Amanda: I'm so not getting that internship, Mrs. Gilligan.

Amanda flops her head on the table.

Alastor: She certainly isn't getting it acting like this.

Lydia: Fired, schmired. Where's the turkey? I'm starvin' over here!

Kuki cries while Mushi, Alastor and Gail hug her.

Mushi: How can you talk about food at a time like this?

Kuki keeps on sobbing. Hoagie jumps into the table as everyone looks at him.

Hoagie: That's enough!!

He drags his finger across the table, pointing at all the guests.

Hoagie: Somebody here is guilty of Rainbow Monkey murder. And no one's leaving...

He flips a switch, putting the house in lockdown mode. He puts on his detective fedora.

Hoagie: ...until I discover who it is.

Betty shakes, Genki shifted her eyes back and forth, Tommy stared angrily with his fists in his hips, Lydia looked to the side, Eunice gave a side glare, Mr. Wink and Mr. Fibb turned to their left, Amanda glared every which way, Lee purses his lips and played with his yo-yo, Alastor Mushi and Gail hugged Kuki.

Kuki: Well, don't look at me! I didn't do it!

Hoagie leans on the table, closer to Kuki.

Hoagie: Or did you?

Kuki: Aah!

Kuki turns into her oni look as Mushi and Alastor hold her back. Hoagie chuckled nervously while backing away from a now normal Kuki.

Hoagie: Right. Sorry.

Tommy: Hey, how come Hoagie gets to be detective?

Hoagie walks to his brother.

Hoagie: Because my Kids Next Door training best qualifies me to get the facts. For instance, where were you when the lights went out?

Tommy: I...I went upstairs. But I had nothing to do with the Rainbow Monkey.

Tommy trembles.

Hoagie: You're hiding something. Spill it!

Tommy sobs as he gets a snack wrapper and crushed soda can from his pocket, still trembling.

Hoagie: Hey. This was my candy and soda, you rotten stinker. You stole this from my room!

Tommy: I-I'm sorry, Hoagie.

Hoagie grabs Tommy by the cape.

Hoagie: Why'd you do it, Tommy?

Tommy: I...I was... thirsty. No, no, no, no, no! I was hungry.

Hoagie: That fish is three days old, and I ain't buyin' it.

Kani: Now, look here, boy.

Hoagie: Sit down!

Kani whimpers.

Hoagie: Sing, Tommy.

Tommy: I was thirsty.

Hoagie slaps him.

Tommy: Ooh! I mean hungry.

Hoagie slaps him again.

Tommy: Aah! I mean thirsty. Aah!

Hoagie slaps him again.

Tommy: I mean hungr-

Hoagie slaps Tommy.

Tommy: Thungry!

Hoagie slaps his brother more.

Tommy: Hirsty!

Another slap from Hoagie.

Hoagie: I want the truth!

Tommy: I was hungry and thirsty!

Everyone gasps.

Tommy: Can't you understand? You...of all people.

A glop of mashed potatoes hit Tommy's face.

Tommy: Ooh!

Lydia: Can we please get on with this stupid dolly investigation? I'm hungry here!

Hoagie: Hungry for revenge?

He throws Tommy back in his seat and points at his grandma.

Lydia: No! Hungry for turkey, you crazy munchkin. So I want some dinner!

Lydia shakes a fist.

Hoagie: Well, I want some justice. Justice with a nice helping of confession on the side. Any one of you could've done the deed. Mom!

Betty gasps.

Hoagie: I heard you complain about the Rainbow Monkey ruining your dinner party. Forking that Rainbow Monkey in the back solves that problem, didn't it?

Betty: No! Oh, I mean yes.

Betty sobs.

Betty: I just wanted a nice dinner.

Hoagie: And what about you, Grandma? You're old and mean.

Lydia: You got that right, sonny. And I would've done it, too, if it wasn't for my back and my arthritis. And I got this funny little crick in my neck. Oh, and my bunion.

Hoagie: And Mrs. Wink! Well...you're just old. But, all that fighting with my grandma must have sparked something in you!

Eunice: I would never do such a terrible thing! Lydia probably. But not me!

Hoagie: And how could I forget the most evil adults here. Mr. Wink and Mr. Fibb! You two were aching for some evil, huh?

Mr. Wink: We made a deal tonight, didn't we, Mr. Fibb?

Mr. Fibb: With the girls, Mr. Wink.

Mr. Wink and Mr. Fibb: No evil villainy.

Hoagie: And what about you, Mr. Sanban? With the Rainbow Monkey gone, you wouldn't have to worry about your daughters' constant "bickering."

Kani starts sobbing.

Kani: I just wanted my babies to be nice to each other! Is that so bad? Is that so wrong?

Kani sobs into his hands as his wife pats his back.

Hoagie: Uh, all right. Just, you know, lighten up, already. Okay?

Kani wipes away a tear.

Kani: Okay. Thank you.

Hoagie: Or maybe it was you, Amanda! You're rotten to the core! Even though tonight is your big interview, you couldn't resist doing something so diabolical! So underhanded! So...you.

Amanda: That's crazy, I would do such a thing, some other night, probably, but not on such an important night.

Hoagie: And what about you, Lenore?

Alastor: Alastor.

Hoagie: Being in Sector V with you helps me realize that you can't stand Rainbow Monkeys. As soon as you saw Kuki with one, you knew you had to strike before the sighing gave you a headache.

Alastor: I admit, I don't like Rainbow Monkeys.

Everyone gasps except for Alastor.

Alastor: But I didn't do it. I suffer watching Rainbow Monkeys for Kuki!

Hoagie: Then you wouldn't mind explaining this!

Gail takes out Funeral Director Rainbow Monkey, making everyone gasp and Alastor start blushing.

Alastor: M-My personal Rainbow Monkey?

Hoagie: Better start getting your stories straight because you just admitted to not liking Rainbow Monkeys. So why do you have a personalized one?

Alastor: All right, I admit, they're so cute and soft but the normal one's are too cutsie for me so I made my own!

Alastor cries as Gail hugs her.

Hoagie: Then there's you, Lee.

Lee: What?

Hoagie: I saw how you were looking at my brother when he was getting a little too snuggly with your sister. And of course, I know how protective you are of Gail and Lenore. So, doing something so uncool would keep things cool between you and your favorite older sister.

Amanda: Hey!

Lee: I admit, I didn't like your brother flirting with my sister, but I wouldn't do something so underhanded and vile. So uncool.

Hoagie: And then there's you.

He points to Genki.

Hoagie: You were jealous of your daughter's dolly. And we all know it's not a long trip from jealousy to forking a Rainbow Monkey in the back.

Genki retracts her hand from her husband's back and folds her hands in her lap.

Genki: I bought that doll for my daughters. It's theirs to do with as they please. But did anyone offer me a turn with it? A hug? Five minutes of Rainbow Monkey fun? No! Not one little, bitty huggy wuggy!

Genki grunts then sighs after fluffing her bun.

Genki: But I didn't do it. I was powering my nose.

Hoagie: I know you didn't do it. The real culprit is... Mushi!

Amanda: What about Snail?

Hoagie: Oh, don't be silly, Amanda. Gail couldn't do it. For one, she's too young and sweet to do something so cruel to something cutesy and adorable!

Hoagie wiggles his finger in front of Gail as she giggles and holds onto his finger.

Gail: Hoagie!

Hoagie: Besides, she was too busy crying that the lights went and and was snuggled up in Mr. Wink's lap. Isn't that right?

Mr. Wink: Most definitely. I hate when my little girl gets so upset.

Mr. Fibb: Of course, it's natural for her to whine and fuss since she's so young.

Hoagie: Yeah...that. So, with the process of elimination, that only leaves Mushi!

Mushi: You're kidding, right?

Hoagie: I don't kid. Sometimes I say cool jokes and puns and stuff.

Alastor: Sure, cool.

Amanda: Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Hoagie: But never kid.

Mushi: But why would I do it? Kuki said she was gonna share the doll with me anyway!

Hoagie: Maybe. But perhaps you couldn't wait. I mean, a Posh Party Rainbow Monkey is pretty special. Special enough to grab from your sister when the lights went out. Special enough to hug all by yourself. But you forgot something. The Posh Party Rainbow Monkey comes with care-and-share sighing action. And the second you hugged it, the Rainbow Monkey tried to let out a big sigh. And that's when you realized the only way to save yourself was to silence it- For good! And then you hid the poor Rainbow Monkey, hoping nobody would find it.

Mushi: I wouldn't do such a horrible thing! I love Rainbow Monkeys! I love sharing!

Hoagie: Then perhaps you'd share your fork with me.

Mushi blushes.

Mushi: Um, sure.

Mushi chuckles.

Mushi: I...

Mushi gasps as her fork is missing from her napkin.

Kuki: Oh, Mushi! Why?!

Mushi: Because you kept hogging it! And showing off its huggigaciousness! It drove me nuts!

Kuki: Oh, Mushi! I should've shared more!

Mushi: Shared? You don't get it, do you?

Mushi's ears and teeth changed to become more pointed.

Mushi: I wanted it all to myself!

Mushi laughs evilly.

Hoagie: Mr. Sanban, take her away.

Kani gets up from his seat and starts going to his youngest daughter.

Hoagie: I have a feeling Mushi is gonna be grounded for a long, long time.

Hoagie undoes the locked down switch. Kani carries a thrashing Mushi out of the house.

Alastor: Mr. Sanban, need some help?

Kani: No, I am just fine, Leno-

Alastor clears her throat and puts pressure against Mushi's vagus nerve, making her pass out.

Kani: Now, Lenore, you should know better than- Oh, who am I kidding? Can you teach me to do that?

Alastor: I'll teach you on the way to your car.

She walks out with Kani.
