So she says, but who knows?
I have to keep looking.
If there is one place my daughter will be,
it will be at Fan Con.
I just-- I just need to find her.
That's what I do.
You hired me to find Blendeds.
so it'd be my honour It's my specialty,
to assist you in your quest.
Well, thank you I guess.
Just do me a favour

Maybe Dylan's right.
Not the prophecy again.
You and Carmie are obsessed.
You talked to her?
Of course! Hey, I'm not the one bringing up Goblin stuff.

Look. Carmie's just going through a lot of changes
of what happened last night, right now, and regardless
you guys are still friends.
friends don't block friends. Yeah. Well,
Isn't her track meet today?

Hey! You cut my live!
See, this is what happens when you win.
Your stans start popping out of the woodwork.

So, I'm no stranger to winning. All right, Carmela.

No way.
I won't subject my fans to my inner darkness.
They couldn't handle the terror.
Dude, stop it.
I'm trying out for cheerleading, and you're bringing me down.
Wait. Cheerleading?
It's perfect for my inner wolf. I know!

Ah. High school is really turning out
just like you planned.
Yeah, it really is,
but this doesn't really feel like such a victory.
How would I know what a victory feels like, anyways?
Well, victory feels like friends and family
