There’s a new girl in Riverbend this week named Mallory Pike, and she’s all new! We all know and love our Riverbend Gals: Smee, Jen, Sarah… but who is this enigmatic new Mallory character?! We may never know! Also this week: a bitter farewell to Mark Markson, what Amelia Earhart’s mysterious disappearance means for Mallory, and a hot new segment called the M-M-M-M-MILES MOMENT!

Mallory has left the safe confines of the BSC to become a baby-sitting Ronin and roam the Earth with no master and no mission but her wanderings. The factions have taken full control of Stoneybrook, as witches fight demons and terrible dinosaurs rage and roar in the ghost-riddled streets. To make matters worse, the boys are feuding, driven mad with fear as these books count down to their inevitable fiery end. Meanwhile, the girls are throwing a festive holiday party for the residents of Stoneybrook Manor! All that and more as we approach the heart-pounding conclusion of the great Sitters’ Cycle.

#swoon alert, Baby Nation! There’s a hunky new single dad in Stoneybrook this week, and of course his name is John! Though, you probably know his as J.B. Angel, the spirit of vengeance. There’s also more mean memes than you could have ever possibly wanted, but the boys packed them into the episode regardless!

We’re not trying to tell you how to live your lives, but you’re going to disappoint a lot of people if you refuse to read Infinite Jest, watch Videodrome, and familiarize yourself with all of the great works of Stone Cold Steve Austin, and instead spend your time doing whippets, watching SportsCenter, and throwing big blow-out parties when your parents are away like Claudia Kishi decided to do this week. This one’s for fans of Janine Kishi, aka “The Janenius,” people who think Sense and Sensibility was written in the ‘90s, and anyone who’s ever huffed whipped cream to see what might happen.

¡Esta semana los chicos vienen a ti en vivo desde la Ciudad de México! (De acuerdo, no VIVO en vivo, ya que este episodio fue grabado hace unas semanas, pero entiendes lo que quiero decir.) Hay mucho de qué hablar esta semana, incluyendo: el malvado hermano de Emma Frost, Robert Frost, una dinámica nuevo personaje llamado Cary Retlin, y alguna posible infracción de propiedad intelectual por parte de Stephen Chow (llámenos Stephen, si desea hablar sobre la división de honorarios legales).

This weird, surrealistic tableau of a book marks the beginning of Suzanne Weyn's Dada phase. The narrative, such as it is, revolves around Abby and Kristy’s visit to Abby's grandmother on Long Island, which the Cat People have occupied in a new, terrifying phase of their insurgency. Kristy and Mary Anne are up to no good, and the Scholastic lawyers are immersed in their most devious stunt yet. Ben Hobart is back in a big way, the Purple Orb has an army now, and Jack and Tanner have a very, very, very special message for their wives. Curiouser and curiouser!

This week, the boys go inside a haunted mansion. Just by chance they freed a ghost who made them Beetleboys. [Frankenbeans: “BEETLEBOYS!”] Big Bad Beetleboys. Big Bad Beetleboys. Hey look now they're super heros, armed with super powers… [Mums: ”Cool!”] ...taken from a comic strip and now they're Beetleboys. [Count Fangula: “BEETLEBOYS!”] Big Bad Beetleboys. Big Bad Beetleboys.

Kristy’s out of the way and busy with her Strawberry Festival and Stacey’s stuck between the two handsome boys in her life, so get ready to Hashtag “Swoon" (this is a new cool thing to say!) over the ever-so-dreamy Ethan, and Hashtag “Speak The Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear” (not a thing yet, but hopefully soon!) for Robert “Brewdoggy” Brewster, who is truly going through some stuff this week. If all of that makes you socially anxious, just remember your FORDOW acronym and you can’t go wrong! Unless you’re too far gone with Suzeynity, in which case the best you can probably do is sit back and either wait for the universe to be set upon the Golden Path or lament the ominous return of the Jaquio. Is it just me or is this podcast making less and less sense as we go on?

This week, the boys are brimming with DINOSAUR ENERGY, which was introduced to the sitterverse by a new character named Deb Cooper, who has more in common with The Golden Bear’s depiction of the Joker in 1989’s The Batman than anyone has any right to. Also, Watson adopts a seeing-eye dong, Ben Hobart returns, Jack hurts his hand, and there’s a lot of fretting over acute angle-closure glaucoma, because where we’re going… we won’t need eyes.
