Those poor security guards. Wow, look at all the reporters. It's not every day someone famous comes back from the dead

Dracula came back from the dead. Frankenstein's monster. Not sure that counts. Zombies, of course. Got it, Bertie. Are we sure Dr. Whittier isn't a zombie? Pretty sure. Because I thought I caught him eyeing my brain. Anyway, are you- Excited for the press conference, Mom? I'd rather be doing my job in the lab, finding a fossil fuels expert for the clean energy project Angelica threw at me last minute.

Okay. Mom's not feeling it. Oh, look. It's the whole family. Welcome to Whittier Labs, where the future is happening today. Did she just speak along with her own recording? I believe she did so. You're surprisingly upbeat, Angelica. Either that or Dr. Whittier ate part of her brain. I am very upbeat. In fact, I'm downright giddy. The last time you saw us, your plan to kidnap the four blew up in your face. You're minutes away from being stripped of your CEO position.

Why are you in a good mood? I don't let little hiccups hold me back. I adapt. Roll with the punches, as they say. Oh, Goody, there's Dr. Whittier. Excuse me, won't you? Did she just say Goody? What do you think she's up to? I don't know, but I prefer when she's in a foul mood.

I think it has to do with Holiday. You said she escaped the trap they set for her on the train. No way Whittier Corpse found her. I wish I knew how she got away in the first place. Maybe she has some guardian angel out there that we don't know about. Okay, Ted, you can put Casey down now. Oh, thank you, Mr. Oring-a-tan. See, we're all friends here. I'll admit, Holiday, when I told you I heart orangutans, I expected you

Didn't expect. Ta-da! Here's a whole family of them in the biggest scoop you up into his arms and carry you down to the docks. Wow. So mature. Don't you love it? It's like living in a giant zoo. Minus the smells and the overpriced snacks. Okay, while I get the whole, yay, primate house thing, Isn't a zoo really just a giant cage? Neverland isn't a cage. trying to convince me it is. I'm not going back. It's my home now and I'm okay with that.

Didn't you have fun here last night? Heck yes, but not because of the island. Because of you, I finally... it was like to have a BFF and for the record I hate that expression so you will tell no one I used it in a sentence are we clear I've never really sleepover Who ever wished we were normal girls with normal lives, just homework and Snapchat and clothes? Am I saying I wish we were Brinley? Please, no. Feel free to help me with the ring-a-tan poop until I'm on call. Never mind. I get it.

Gracias. But you know the best shot we have at coming close? The Anders family. Casey, you know I'm right, Flag Day. The Anders don't care that you're made of computer chips and that I'm made of Gen A syrup. All they know is they love us. Or, in my case, strong-like. And they want us around. Say I'll come back to Juno with me, Holiday. Please. What are you guys doing out here? Whoa! I didn't see you there. Yeah, Cam does that. I was just showing Casey around some more.

Yeah, I hadn't seen the docs yet. No big deal. It's not like we weren't going anywhere or anything. What's up, Cam? The Anders family. They're on TV. Turn it up, Adam. I can't hear. This should be enlightening. In light of this unbelievably exciting... I am relinquishing the title of- of the Whittier Corporation. Effective immediately. his role as head of the Bye. Something stinks. Angelica's way too into this. If a human being is talking, she's lying. Angelica, you're going on mute.

Hey guys, show's still on? Holiday and Casey want to see you. Have a look. The Wicked Witch of Whittier, front and center. Ugh, even on TV, Angelica makes me want to hurl. There's my family behind her. Sci-fi. Wow. He got taller. Is Birdie wearing a dress? Why does Angelica look so... happy? She's been like that since the cameras turned... announce that Dr. Whittier is alive and back in as CEO. Smiles? Guys, this can't be good. at the podium with Dr. Whittier. Turn up the sound, Adam.

I'm pleased to announce that I will be reinstating an old colleague, Dr. Monica Anders, as Head of Research and Development. For those who aren't aware of Monica's vast credentials, she'll be muting again. This makes no sense Why would mom go back to work there with them? Minus the corporate housing. Maybe they have something on her. So, Witkin, you're saying you had absolutely no clue this was gonna happen even though Angelica is basically your mommy? She's not my mommy, Adam. She's my enemy.

And I swear on Hermione, this is the first time I'm hearing about any of this. You swear on...huh? It's a long story, Cam. But if Casey swears on Hermione, she's telling the truth. And we're supposed to just take your word for it. That's your call. Turn it back up, Adam. Angelica's coming back to the mic. Before we break, I do have one more tiny... Here comes the bad news. My mom and Dr. Whittier look surprised. They don't know about this part. I knew this was gonna be bad.

As Dr. Whittier's first official project, he has agreed to develop technology modern war and without and we're in talks with grayling of the U.S. Army to discuss the future of robotics. When all the paperwork is signed, I'll be happy to sit down with the... in more detail. Anymore you can share on this, Dr. Whittier. It's called The Holiday Project. What?! And... What are they gonna do? Make a whole bunch of holidays?

And you're shocked because... I mean, we are dealing with humans. You won't be safe either, Adam. Neverland, and when they do, we're toast! No way the four of us and thousands of robots who can learn any skill then we gotta make sure we're one step I am. Are you think what I'm thinking? Pretty sure I am. Build robot dragons! Did you just say we're gonna build robot dragons? That's not what you were thinking.

No. We're gonna stop the holiday project before it begins. And our little electricity-manipulating pal is gonna help us. That is, if we really can trust her. I told you we can trust her. What do you need me to do? You're gonna help us kidnap J.P. Whittier. And then we'll build robot dragons. Hey, I'm Ryan Shanahan and I play Badger in 6 minutes. For more great adventures, go to gzmshows.com. Hey guys, it's me. I'm breaking into Ben's office. Again. And yes, I'm in the bush in his yard. Again.

Listen, there have been some meetings I haven't been privy to. I see them on the calendar, then I ask about them, and then they're gone. And I hate being out of the loop, so here I am. I'm gonna make a break for the door. I'm at the front door. I'm going to check the door handle. Last time I just... Ben! You need to lock your doors! What is that? Ben's office has a huge whiteboard on the wall. And all it says is June 6th in huge letters. June 6th? What's June 6th? That's like in a month.

What are they planning? Oh, poop! The dogs heard me. Um, June 6th. Something is coming. I don't know what. Email me if you think you might know. I'm gonna get out of here before I get caught. Bye!
