Chapter Ten – Ending Montage
The note Hannibal found on the pile of Uncle Buckle-Up® plush toys was a letter of apology from Kelly. She apologized for two things: 1) for two-timing him with Face (for the record, Face had no idea she had been sleeping with Hannibal as well. Yeah, right we believe that one) and 2) for faking her death in his presence. She merely had wanted to help her father, Sydney, who had grown tired of donning the silly chipmunk suit and wanted to be remembered as someone other than the guy who portrayed Uncle Buckle-Up. He hoped to make a comeback as a leading man in film. Good luck, Sydney!
Ironically, Uncle Buckle-Up was not cancelled after the disastrous show in question, but rather after one where the original Ruff the Bear threw-up in his costume due to a hangover. The sight of green vomit coming out of Ruff the Bear's snout traumatized children for years to come.
Regarding Face's date with Kelly, when Hannibal showed him the letter he promptly called her and cancelled. (Right.)
The team later found BA, asleep in the back of the van. It had indeed been a rat that attacked him, but fortunately no damage was done to BA, the rat, or the van. BA spent the remainder of the afternoon, after releasing the rat, re-cleaning the van and crying over his spilt milk.
Amy had not been dead either, as Murdock had surmised. She had been trying to get his attention when she spilled red nail polish all over herself. She had then tried to get out the passenger door only to discover the child-lock was on. Giving up in disgust, Amy slumped against the door. When Murdock had yanked the door open, she had been momentarily stunned, not dead. Before she could regain her wits, Murdock had received his 'mysterious' phone call and tore off down the street. Not long after, AAA came by and towed her to a gas station. The next day, Amy flew back to Jakarta, vowing never to return to the States again.
After dropping Hannibal off at the farmhouse, Frankie realized how late it was and rushed straight home. He needed to get to bed at a decent time as he had an early call on the set the next morning. Upon arriving home, he discovered a strange man with poor fashion taste (at least to Frankie) sitting in his living room. The man in question was wearing a three-piece suit and yellow sunglasses, which did nothing for his complexion. He informed Frankie that he was about to make him an offer he couldn't refuse. The F/X man, having watched 'The Godfather' more times than he could count, was naturally intrigued. We all know how that turns out.
Speaking of turning out, as it turns out, Tawnia had not died from toxic shock after all, but she was hospitalized for treatment of the syndrome. Neither the team nor her husband, Brian came to visit or sent her get-well cards since all of them thought she was really dead. However, a near-by funeral home did receive a lovely floral arrangement with a card that read – 'RIP Tawnia.'
Face apologized to Murdock about the entire Uncle Buckle-Up® plush toy incident. The pilot forgave the conman on the condition that he, Face, make it up to him, Murdock, by taking him on a hayride. Face thought this request was rather odd, but agreed. And that, my friends, is a whole other story.
