Katelyn couldn't stop laughing at the boy's transformation. That jerk was finally getting what he deserved. Still, she knew enough about magic to know that it was dangerous, so she went to Mr. Finnegan's office to inform him of the situation.
As she explained, Mesmero laughed and went to see the new monkey.
Elsewhere, Max was very confused. He knew he should feel embarrassed, but he was also feeling a strange sense of pride at his bizarre behavior. He was beginning to enjoy his monkey actions, and beat his chest proudly ooking like a monkey. Just then, the ringmaster showed up with Katelyn to do damage control.
He shouted something unintelligible, and everyone froze in place. Unbeknownst to the circus-goers, Mr. Finnegan was an actual magician, and knew several powerful spells. He decided to brainwash the crowd, saying, "This is no one you know. This is not Max Sitwell; this is Mikey, the monkey boy. You have just watched a monkey dance; you did not watch a human dance. Mikey has always been a monkey; this monkey was not a human. You will only remember the monkey; you will not remember the transformation. When I clap my hands, you will leave here, and enjoy the rest of the circus." As he clapped, the crowd dispersed, including Katelyn, who no longer recognized Max.

He turned his attention toward the smaller monkey, Benny, which was still holding the music box. "Well, you've certainly made a mess of things." The chimp snorted. "Yes I know he was a jerk, but you didn't have to do this to him!" The monkey rolled his eyes. "Fine, I'll take care of this.'" The animal quickly scampered off, not wanting to risk the man's wrath.
Mr. Finnegan stared at the naked Max. "Now what am I going to do with you..."
