Part 82: Ep. 56: I Guess The Butler Did It

---


: Last time on MySims Agents: ... was the play really that bad, pal?

: ...

: Think about it this way, Buddy: it was successful.

At the conclusion of our reenactment, Carl looks shocked and then starts to cry. Gordon also looks as though he's going to cry, but I sense his displeasure is more aesthetic.



Or maybe he's just a zombie of refined senses, Sam. Anyway, we are rewarded for our terrible play: we gain access to the Cyrus costume, and also--sigh--two more dispatch missions.



: I should go tell Zoe about the results of my investigation!

Sam runs upstairs to where Zoe stands.

: I've solved the case!

: Wonderful, chere. Do tell!

And shortly, Sam will!



Our suspects gather in the foyer, beneath the guttering chandeliers.



Madame Zoe steps aside and Sam comes forward.







Everyone gasps in shock and whirls around to stare at Carl.



Who is just as shocked as everyone else.

: It was the zombie!



: No!! I... I wouldn't! Cyrus was my friend!

Madame Zoe is maaaad.

: Carl! I am shocked at this betrayal. You have destroyed a priceless treasure and ruined everyone's evening.



We made everyone mad at him and now he's crying.

Carl runs off towards the kitchen.

: Carl!

Violet runs after Carl. A thoughtful Sam watches her go, then turns to Buddy.



Sam runs down the stairs, heading for the kitchen, leaving Buddy behind.

Pause.



Zoe shakes off her anger and returns to the head of the stairs.

: Now we say "Good night." I am sorry to have wasted all of your time.

Zoe turns to Buddy.

: Thank you for bringing this terrible matter to a close.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen...



sob sob



: I know, Carl.

Sam enters.



: And now...

: Carl, it's not your fault!



Carl cannot be comforted; he turns around and starts to cry again. He then wipes his eyes, and...



Violet turns to Sam.





: Oh, he has some special trick for it... I'm sure if you fiddled with the dumbwaiter's gears you could get it working again.

I'm sure we could. I'm sure we will!





Violet giggles at the very thought before forcing herself to be gloomy again.

: Really... interesting...

Sam makes up his mind. Mischief is afoot!

: Alright, Violet, I'm going to keep investigating.

Dun dun dun!

: Next time on MySims Agents: Why do they call it a 'dumbwaiter', anyway?
