A Scientific Adventure
- Tootie suggests they just take the squirrel back to "the wild" (a.k.a. the backyard), and thinks this is a bit of a scientific adventure.
- William isn't so sure this qualifies as science, however.
- Flora's mom tells Tootie to grab some gloves before touching the rodent so she doesn't get sick, and so she goes to get some.
- Meanwhile, Flora asks William what caused him to go blind in the first place, but he'd rather not say.
- She thinks he's being "unnecessarily cryptic" and says so. She also tells William not to worry because she a cynic; not much can throw her.
- Then Flora shows Tootie what the squirrel typed: "Squirtel! I am. Ulysses. Born anew." See—this is proof that they are not suffering from an extended hallucination.
- It's also proof that Ulysses is a superhero, Flora thinks.
- Wait a minute… William points out that Flora—a self-labeled cynic—actually believes in something highly unlikely: a superhero squirrel.
- He wants the squirrel to prove it by typing something again.
