* RiddleForTheAges: Downplayed: The first half of the episode ends with HIM giving a particularly confusing riddle. And even though it's revealed at the start of the second half of the episode that the solution to it was an ice cream cone, we never get shown exactly ''how'' the girls reached that conclusion:
-->'''HIM''': In the ear of corn, you will find happiness, joy, and the ties that bind. Squirrels store nuts and birds sing songs, but in the Cave of Eternity, everyone’s wrong. On the limb of a tree there’s a monkey who’s free, and there he will give you something for me.
