* '''Played For Laughs''': Alice and Bob are rivals. Alice tries to sneak up on Bob, but ends up getting stuck in the tree she was planning to drop down on him from. She makes a lot of noise trying to get down and Bob notices, but instead of figuring it out, he gets scared and assumes she is “Planning Something” and watches her very carefully from below. Alice doesn’t bother to correct his assumption because she is embarrassed that her orginal plan flopped so badly. Bob, meanwhile, grows increasingly paranoid because Alice is still in the tree. In hopes of chasing Bob off, Alice calls in her mooks to attack Bob for her. Bob is soundly thrashed, but still will not leave, assuming that whatever Alice is doing it must be really hideous, and he needs to keep closer watch then ever. He tries calling in Diane to keep watch as well, but Diane sees there is nothing to worry about and simply leaves. Finally, after five hours of intense watching, Bob cannot take another second of Alice’s “Scheming” and runs off in tears. Alice eventually manages to get down from the tree, but unbeknownst to her, Charlie was watching the entire thing, put two and two together, and he knows Alice’s secret...
