    what I learned — it looks like I may have enough pieces to make the first season work.

    Mod 2 lesson 4 skunk-boy homework

    1 Meff becomes a skunk and nearly gets eaten by an owl – he misses his birthday party

    2 Meff parties with his skunk cousins in the cave and finds his missing hat – he eats a rotten egg and becomes human again. Meanwhile Mann tries to buy the skunk farm. Dad turns him down.

    3 Meff’s aunt Abigail assumes human form and welcomes him to the world of skunks. Meff’s sister Polly is jealous. His other sisters feel sorry for him. Dad wants firm rules about when Meff may morph.

    4 Meff sneaks into Mann’s laboratory and discovers Mann’s plot to get the family mephiderite. Meanwhile Polly starts a jewelry business making jewelry with the mephiderite to sell at the Skunk Beauty Pageant. Kamali Parker is working in Mann’s laboratory.

    5 Meff is working in the family skunk supplies store. He demonstrates the skunk spray to a customer who wants to smell like a skunk so he can hunt. He sprays himself. He morphs. Nobody sees this. But Kamali Parker comes in to by a skunk pet. She falls in love with Meff. Polly takes over the register and Parker buys him.

    6 Dad tries to buy Meff back. Kamali won’t sell and Dad won’t say why he is so attached to this skunk. Kamali decides to enter Meff in the Skunk Beauty Pageant.

    7. Aunt Abigail tries to rescue Meff, and Mann catches her. He decides to enter her in the Beauty Pageant. He tests his hair-grow spray on her. It works. He uses it on himself (he was balding- now he’s not.)

    8 Mann takes over MCing the Beauty Pageant. He’s awarding hair-grow spray as one of the prizes. Polly brings a rotten egg for Meff, but Kamali won’t let him have it. Meff tries to free Abigail from her cage, but as a skunk, he can’t do it. Polly tries and Mann keeps her away. We see lots of talented skunks compete. Meff wins. Mann buys all of Polly’s jewelry, and uses it to make a spray that freezes the whole town (which is watching the pageant)

    9) Meff has distracted Kamali. Neither of them get sprayed. Meff tries to steer Kamali’s car. She figures he’s up to something and lets him. They go to the Skunk Farm. There, they find Mann’s trucks loading up with mephiderite. Meff gives the trucks flat tires. His cousins help. Even Kamali can see that Mann is up to no good. As the town recovers from the freeze spray, they go to the skunk farm for the annual celebration. They see the theft-in-progress.

    10 Meff does battle with the owl and wins – nearly kills him with his super power spray. Meff is injured, but Polly brings him to the cave, and finally gives him a rotten egg. He becomes human, and joins the town for the celebration. For the first time in human form, he meets Kamali. She likes him as a boy, but wonders where her Meffikins is. Owl is taken to animal control center because he is an endangered species – they want to save him. Owl is Howland Mann.

    Frank’s Episode List Rough Draft

    What I learned doing this assignment is that it takes me a lot of time to generate good ideas. But once the initial ideas
    are there, it gets easier to drill down into each ep and come up with
    intriguing hooks.

    Episode 1: Marjorie’s best
    friend is kidnapped, and Marjorie and her friends set out to find her. Marjorie
    gets a message from her dream parents that comes true in her waking life.

    Episode 2: Nancy tells
    Gwendolyn’s moms that Marjorie died when she was 8 years old and was brought
    back to life by God and then dropped from heaven down into the bayou outside
    town the day Hank and Nancy first arrived in Deslondes.

    Episode 3: Reveal that Nancy was
    Marcus’ prom date before she got pregnant by Hank.

    Episode 4: This is where Marjorie’s
    dreams make sense.

    Episode 5: Marjorie gets hints that
    she is from another universe.

    Episode 6: Marjorie learns the
    truth from Abyon.

    Episode 7: Hank and Nancy need
    Marjorie to stay and help them as Nancy deals with terminal cancer, but she
    feels conflicted. (Something really important AND believable has happened to
    make Marjorie want to stay with her adopted parents, even after she discovers
    they lied to her.)

    Episode 8: Sin’s dad is the one
    that convinces Marjorie to see Hank and Nancy’s actions in a more positive
    light, thus convincing her to stay with them rather than abandon them.

    Episode 9: Marjorie and her friends
    rescue Gwendolyn, and Marjorie discovers she has a brother in another universe.
    Marjorie also realizes she can get a cure for Nancy’s cancer in Earth Prime as
    well as saving her biological parents.
