    • As Caprice desires herself to get killed by a train, Granny finds her grandaughter's brought track piece a metaphor for a new direction.

In her orchestrated "Caprice Mansion" party that she takes seriously, the ornament brought in by Ditzy is a vase comprising a longer haired glasses-wearing man's head (the urn of Rudy Swan) whom she labels a "loser". She trips to the floor twice with her cape, Granny is absent, Li'l-One joins the party game just to "kill" Pa's character, and once Granny finally appears, she goes far at trying to have her son actually dead, prompting a chain reaction with the siblings and getting Caprice stuck in a giant gelatin dessert. She also discovers that all of the players have copies of the murder contract when there's should be only one. Given the siblings' general lack of attachment to their bratty teenage sister, and that Triceps' pull is too painful for the poor girl, they eventually abandon rescue efforts to free Caprice from the gelatin. It gets atrocious when T-Bone chews "Jolly John" the talking inflatable man and it flies and deflates on top of Caprice.
