* EyeScream: Catalpa decides to let Luiz sled on the ice without a helmet. He ends up hitting his head and end up tearing one of the retinas of his eye. He has to miss his flight home to recover, and has an air bubble placed in his eye to hold his retina in place to let it heal properly. This means he spends a lot of time with his head positioned face down.
