While things were officially between Halloween and Thanksgiving with regard to events in Animalia, there was plenty that was on the drawing board, so to speak.

Diego and Patty were doing rock climbing at Claw Coliseum when they were called over by one of the PR-MD members.
"You mentioned earlier that 'post a video of a skateboarding lizard and you'll have a lot of views quickly.'" said the agent.
"Yes, though not exactly like that." said Diego.
"We've decided to start building an Animalian-sized Skatepark during the summer." said the agent, "The main problem though, is making a skateboard that can withstand an Animalian's weight."
"I hear you there." said Diego, "though most Animalians would say that their weight is all muscle."

Lord Chumlee was also talking with another member of the PR-MD offices.
"Apparently everyone enjoyed your role in the Escape from the Cannibal Mole Mutants so much, that they want you and your sidekick to do a reboot of a comedy spoof of one of the original The Mummy movies."
"I remember when the antagonist for those movies was the priest Imhotep, who was played by Boris Karlov." said Chumlee, nostalgically, "They didn't have titles like The Scorpion King, or The Dragon Emperor."
"The one that was requested was actually the original comedy spoof of the Mummy Movie, Abbot and Costello Meet the Mummy." continued the agent.
"I never got to see that." admitted Lord Chumlee.
"The plot they have so far is that the British empire loses contact with a dig site and you and your apprentice/sidekick are sent to investigate." said the agent.
"Not another mummy disturbed from a slumber of centuries." groaned Lord Chumlee, annoyed at the cliché.
"No actually, it's a mummified corpse possessed by a demonic entity." quickly answered the agent, "For that, the city was buried under the desert sands to prevent it from escaping. It's supposed to be horror comedy."

Meanwhile one PR-MD member was talking with another coworker as well as Mayor Clara about last Spookyville.
"It seemed that Liao was psychologically incapable of being separated from her urumi whip." said the first.
"So we came up with a surprising solution: one made from plastic to the same consistency to her urumi whip, but simply incapable of holding an edge." said the second.
"So if Liao feels threatened, and she brings it out, she won't kill anyone but it WILL hurt. A Lot." finished the first.
"This was one of Doctor Jones' ideas, wasn't it." asked Clara, glad that a solution could be found.
"Yeah," said the first. "He's had a long enough break, and now he's back."
