Episode 11: Descent Into Darkness-Blackout! (Part 2)
CHAPTER 0: RECAP
Previously on PEANUTS: The Next Chapter…
MAMBA (LUCY): "Can you believe that we're teaming with the Spiders, Py? You know it's serious when we team with the rivals."
PYTHON: "I know, Mamba. And only three days away from meeting them."
SALLY: "I just found out that Linus was with another girl at the theater on Christmas."
FRIEDA: "She's lost it, Charlie Brown."
CHARLIE BROWN: "I know. And I hope Linus watches himself. Sally went from innocent crush to outright obsession to now borderline stalker."
SALLY: (to Snoopy) "I need your help. I need you to spy on Linus. See if he's with another girl. If he is, report back to me and I'll take over from there."
LINUS: "I AM NOT YOUR SWEET BABBOO! And it's true! Eudora and I are in fact dating! Maybe now you will get it through that thick skull of yours that we were NEVER an item!"
SALLY: "You…. and… her?"
CHARLIE BROWN: "You understand I was upset at the time because you got Snoopy involved in your scheme. I was angrier about that than the act itself."
MAMBA: "I understand, Charlie Brown. And I wanted ever since to apologize to you about my actions that day. I wish I could take it back, but I know I can't. All I can say is I hope you can forgive me. I'm so sorry."
CHARLIE BROWN: "Well, Lucy, I'm ready for all of this Homecoming drama to end. And I think it's time for all of us to heal our friendship. And I'm willing to forgive you for everything."
MAMBA: "You probably know by now that I've joined the Serpent Sisters." "Well we're supposed to meet with this new forming gang tomorrow, and we're teaming up with a rival gang in case they try something funny. I just have this feeling of impending doom."
CHARLIE BROWN: "I'd be careful, Lucy. No telling what this new gang will do."
SALLY: "Well, big brother, yesterday I was thinking, remember how I told you Eudora could charm your socks off?"
CHARLIE BROWN: "Yeah?"
SALLY: "Well that's what happened to Linus! He was blinded by her charms, so naturally he fell for her."
CHARLIE BROWN: "Linus actually loves Eudora, and she loves him! What you are talking about is trying to split them up! I know you're upset that they got together, but to interfere with their relationship, that's going too far, Sally!"
SALLY: "Linus is meant to be with me, whether he likes it or not. Plain and simple."
CHARLIE BROWN: (to Snoopy) "Snoopy, I think Sally's finally flipped!"
VIOLET: (to Patty) "Lucy was right. I am a snob. I look down on folks who don't have as much as I do, and I'm mean towards people, too." "Maybe WE are the ones who are insecure and making someone else miserable will cure us of our misery."
5: "The Serpent Sisters and the Spiders are allegedly teaming up. There's rumors going around that there's a new gang forming called the Lizard Ladies."
EVERYONE: "THE LIZARD LADIES?!"
5: "Yeah, and a big confrontation is about to happen in a couple of hours at Sam's Auto Salvage Yard on the rough side of town."
TARANTULA: "All right Serpents and Spiders, that's far enough!" "We are all about terror and mayhem! And you thought those girls in the Spiders left because they wanted out of the gang life, when in actuality they joined up with THIS gang!"
COBRA: (after Anaconda pointed a gun at her) "Anaconda, why? Why did you join up with this rogue gang?!"
TARANTULA: "Simply put, she felt like she was being pushed out in favor of your new girl there." (Tarantula pointed at Mamba) "She felt like you were grooming her to take her place."
(The Lizard Ladies open fire upon the Serpent Sisters and the Spiders. Mamba and Python takes refuge in the office, while Cobra and Rattler hide in an old car)
(Anaconda aims her gun at Mamba. Python notices it)
PYTHON: "MAMBA, LOOK OUT!" (Python shoves Mamba out of the way. One shot is fired and everyone hits the ground)
RATTLER: "PYTHON!"
CHARLIE BROWN: "GOOD GRIEF!"
(Python is lying motionless on the ground)
PYTHON: "R-r-remember t-t-the jewelry b-b-b-box…."
And NOW the conclusion of the "Decent Into Darkness" story arc!
