Collecting Clues
- Breakfast the next morning with Grandpa Sorenson is kinda awkward, and Kendra thinks it's weird that her grandma's been unavailable or traveling for so long.
- Grandpa tells the kids that there's a pool they can swim in, so that's what they do.
- Kendra brings a cool vintage mirror she found in their room outside with her, and she and Seth notice that a zillion butterflies and dragonflies swarm around it. That's not normal bug behavior, right?
- Afterward, Seth gets dressed and tells Kendra he's going into the woods. He asks her not to tell on him, but she makes no promises.
- Exploring the bedroom, Kendra finds that one of the keys unlocks a tiny armoire in the dollhouse—there are tasty foil-wrapped chocolates inside.
- Then Kendra fiddles with the telescope in their room, and sees Dale doing something sneaky-looking outside. She runs out, and sees that he's left a pail of milk near a hedge, and a bunch of insects are clustered around it (do bugs even drink milk?).
- She also notices that the attic seems to be longer than just the room she and Seth are sharing. Perhaps there's a secret passageway that the keys unlock?
- She catches Dale as he's placing another pail, and he asks her to keep it a secret—apparently it helps the animals thrive, but he's worried that her grandpa will think it's wasteful. Oh, and she shouldn't drink it because it hasn't been pasteurized. Ick.
