Mike and Molly: [chanting] We're going on a big adventure!

We're going on a big adventure!

- Uh hah, what's going on?

- That's what I wanna know.

- Zip-lining's back on!

Mike: Tree trekking's back on!

Molly: Rock climbing,

Both: Rock on!

- [laughs]

Hun, I talked to Ashley in Riverdon,

she said if you can get this order started,

she'll come in and finish it for ya.

- Really?

[hesitantly] Wow!

[chuckles]

She's the only one

that I can imagine filling in for me,

she is a real pro!

She'll get it done right.

- [chuckles]

Lucy: You are just Mr. Fix it over and over again!

How can I thank ya, hun?

Mike: How 'bout with a tandem bungee jump?

It's like a hug in midair.

- [low-key stressed laughing]

They have that there?

Amazing!

You got it, sweetheart!

Mike: I guess you won't be needing these anymore, huh?

Your family's got ya covered.

- Oh, you sure do.

Can you help me out back, Molly?

- There you are.

Excuse me,

Mr. Lafontaine.

How much for that bear?

- Oh, this one?

Well...

[enchanted music and whooshing]

I guess it would be $15?

But, it's awfully dusty.

It's been sitting there a while, looks like.

How about a newer one?

- Um, I have a soft spot for misfit toys.

- Well, then it's yours...

free.

Give it a good home, yeah?

- Thanks!

Mina: Poor thing, what'd it do to you?

Did you even notify the next of kin?

Ruby: Got something in your eye, Mr. Bear?

Or maybe something behind it?

I knew it.

- A camera.

- Thought so.

Sam: Yeah, and where there's a camera

there's probably a USB port.

A little inspection of the lumbar region and...

would you look at that?

What secrets do you hold, my little friend?

Um, what time was the heist?

Sam: Here.

Lucy: Where's Mike?

Dee: Getting supplies.

Lucy: Okay, let's do this fast.

Ugh.

Okay, now take it.

Go, go, go.

Dee: Yeah.

[heels clicking across the floor]

- Whoa.

- Double whoa.

- What's going on?

- I have theories, but what else is on there?

- Here's one

from when after Mike got the trip

back on track.

Lucy: Oh thanks, Dee.

You were a hero.

Now on to plan what is it now?

Plan F?

Dee...

you're a genius!

Yes!

Yes, where's my order book?

[suspenseful music]

- So that's why the bear was backwards.

Lucy: If this doesn't work, I don't know what I'll do.

- Okay.

Lucy faked the robbery,

Dee, loyal cousin, helped.

That didn't work.

So then Lucy faked the order, then that didn't work.

- Right, so it's the getaway, she doesn't want it.

She's worried.

- So the wish, "I wish I could get away--,"

- Means get away from the getaway.

- This woman is in pain,

but she doesn't want to let down her family,

but she's scared silly!

- We have to find out what she's so scared of.

[suspenseful music climaxes]

[suspenseful music mellows]

Mina: That's weird.

Ruby: Uh, Seb, you seen Lucy?

Seb: Yeah, she's at the hospital.

All: The hospital?

[suspenseful music climxes]

Mina: I hope nothing terrible happened.

You don't think she did something extreme

to get out of the trip, do you?

Sam: Maybe the stress got to her?

- I'm not family, they won't tell me anything.

- Chocolate pudding.

[whooshing]

- That'll tell us everything.

Ruby: Follow that dessert!

♪

- Oh, hey!

- Oh!

Lucy: Bye, Leah.

Thanks...

for nothing.

Oh, well, hi you all.

What are you doing here?

- Looking for you, actually.

- Me?

Mina: Yeah, we heard you went to the hospital,

is everything okay?

Lucy: Oh, yeah, sure.

Sometimes I meet Leah and we um, don't laugh,

but we are crazy for these hospital pudding cups,

so...

we get busy and we grab one and gab.

Was there something else?

Ruby: Yeah, um...

we have a feeling you don't wanna go on your trip.

- Well, why would you think that?

Sam: We know you took the money and passport

from your cash register.

Mina: And that Dee covered for you

and said that she took them.

- And that you faked the wedding order.

- How do you know about that?

- Teddy bear security camera.

- I see.

Fuzzy, little traitor

and his three accomplices.

[sighs]

Well, I guess the jig is up.

Yeah, I did everything I could to get out of that trip

and that's why Dee helped me,

she knows how I feel about these things.

I have a scar here

from when my sister dragged me down a black diamond ski hill,

I was 15.

I have another here

from rafting down Glenwood Canyon,

twenty-first birthday.

Oh, and I sprained this wrist rollerblading

when Molly was still in diapers

and then, and then I lost my nerve.

And I've made an art

out of avoiding extreme fun ever since.

- Till your family planned an adventure getaway

that you couldn't get away from.

- I didn't come to see Leah for the pudding.

I came here to ask her to put a cast on my arm

so I could pretend it was broken.

[chuckles sarcastically]

She said no.

- Why don't you just tell your family?

Lucy: And break Mike and Molly's hearts?

They.

Can't.

Wait.

And if I say I won't go, they won't go either and I just,

I so want them to have fun, but without me.

Mike moves heaven and earth for me and I just,

I can't take away something he loves.

- So, what are you gonna do?

- Leah told me all about multiple fractures,

so at least I know what to expect.

I can't take this trip away from my family

because breaking their hearts,

that's what I'm really afraid of.

What then?

What about me?

What about mom?

- Ruby, we are family.

You mean everything to me.

- [sniffling]

- Don't be scared.

- But I am scared.

- We all are.

When you tell me about it or when I tell you about it,

then we can start to feel better.

I promise you,

you have nothing to be scared of.

Nothing to be scared of.

Lucy: [dejected] Yeah, that too.

[sighs]

- But, why?

Why didn't you just talk to us?

- Because she loves us, that's why.

She didn't wanna let us down

and she knows we wouldn't wanna do the trip without her

and she's absolutely, 100 percent right about that.

- See, that's why I didn't tell you.

Just leave all the ruining everything

It's not even that, it's mud walking.
