By Miss Alli | Season 1 | Episode 4 | Aired on 10.02.2001
Emily lights her torch, and Joe points, saying, "Billy went that way. That's clockwise." "Billy"? Aww. Okay, that's cute. Once Emily has wandered off, Mom yells her encouragement. "Come on, you can do it!" Emily, meanwhile, finds her torch cumbersome and kinda scary, what with all the fire and all. A voice, which I think is Joe's, yells out, "The first circle inside the big concentric circle!" Miss Alli's Mom, who happens to teach math, agrees with me that there's no such thing as "a big concentric circle," because "concentric circles" are by definition plural, but that's neither here nor there. Bill finds the swords, which are hidden behind a sort of a big iron gate. The choices with the gate seem to be either to climb over it, or to use a long pole to pull a sword toward you and then weasel it between the bars.
In one of those unintentionally comedic moments you couldn't plan, no matter how hard you tried, Emily realizes that she has set the wall of the Coliseum on fire. She kicks at the little flames on the wall (it's very kung fu). "Oh, my gosh," she says. "Oh, my gosh, stop!" Her mother would be proud of her language. For some reason, I just find that scene really funny.
Drew has the torch, and he tells Kevin to give him the lighter so they can light it. Inside, Emily is confused. "Crap, I don't know where I'm going, damn it." Now her mom is slightly less proud of her language, although hey -- it could be worse. You should hear me talk about the customer service at my bank. Drew takes off clockwise. Bill, who's been confounded for a while by the gate, finally manages to get a sword through and untie it. "Over near the tallest wall, one level in!" Joe yells to him helpfully. Heh? Emily, still wandering. Nancy, outside, understandingly says to the camera, "She's lost. But she'll make it." "Mooooooooom!" Emily yells, as she wanders a long cavernous corridor.
"Emily!" Drew yells. (Yay! Drew to the rescue!) "Yes!" she answers back excitedly. Drew: "Where are you?" Emily: "I'm down here!" Kevin, outside: "Drew, where are you?" Drew: "How do I get down there?" Emily: "There's, like, a little staircase!" Kevin, quietly, to Nancy outside: "I thought I heard him. You can't miss that mouth." Heh. Drew: "Kevin!" Drew, again: "Emily!" Emily: "Yes!" Drew: "I'm gonna just jump down there, because I don't know the stairwell!" Kevin: "Is it safe?" Emily, to herself: "I don't know where to go." Nancy: "Imily! Drew! Work together!" Emily: "Drew, did you find it?" Tense music: "Bum, bum, bah da da."
