The Quest For Monday! Part 44: Up, Up, And Away

Looks like Monday was really Monday’s left-handed doppelganger, Tuesday…

(Episode: “Double Danger”)

Synopsis: The Quests go to Thailand so Benton can develop drugs that facilitate long-distance space travel. They’re pursued by Zin, whose new plan involves a Race Bannon lookalike.

One can argue that anyone who plans to blow up an ancient Buddha deserves no less than this:

In Evil Plotland, bench approaches YOU!

But when it comes right down to it and you’re about to be exploded…

Tip 44: Try to know someone with a helicopter.

Is there anything Jade can't do? I'm going with "No."
Is there anything Jade can’t do? I’m going with “No.”

 

Next time: Either old and cheesy or…newer and still kind of cheesy.

Next time on TQfM!: Nature vs. torture and the end of this adventure.
