* DidntThinkThisThrough: The twins propose everyone in the kids club works to raise funds for a luchador event coming to town, and they'll all split the profits equally. This results in several kids either being unable or unwilling to put in their share of the work, leaving the kids club several hundred dollars short and Emily feeling like she alone has to carry the whole club. Grandma Gabby explains that this line of thinking is why socialism never works, yet people keep trying it anyway.
