The next day, the daily editorial's headline read:
Dolls: Can a Binky Betsy Mess With a Person's Mind?
"Don't you think that's a bit obvious?" Hobbes asked.
"Of course not. Now for phase 2. If we don't catch Susie in the next week, then she's not the one."
--------------------------------------
Susie and Candace, who had originally teamed up to be journalists, were arguing outside of class. Hobbes listened in with a radio.
"I don't want to do an article about that! We're doing it on dolls!"
"For once in your life, would you take my advice?"
"That's it! This team is over!"
'Then so is this friendship!"
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
They stormed off in opposite directions.
---------------------------------------------------
A week later…
"Calvin, I don't think it's Susie."
"Nah, it has to be Susie! We'll just have to turn up the heat!'
The next day…
Susie Caught Making Out with Thomas
"Yeah… that was my idea." Hobbes said to Calvin.
"The grossness didn't even happen, Hobbes. I made it up."
"Sigh…"

Can you believe that Miss Wormwood was completely unaware of all this?
"That can't be Susie. It's too…"
'…much like something Thomas would do?" Hobbes suggested, smirking.
