portia was recruited into the cia when she was studying to be a biochemist. she would then play a crucial role in “convincing” brooklyn to join the fbi when he was a police officer
Claryce is tasked to do something she had quite stopped to do since she arrived in Springfield - do her own groceries! Will she manage to overcome her social anxiety? Is Bob taking advantage of her, or does he truly care? Will Lisa still hang out with Nelson, despite her mother's worries? And will Claryce be accepted despite her secretive ways?
Let's find out! c:
Meanwhile, at the Simpson's house...
Lisa is seen arguing with her mother; with what happened the day before, Marge is worried of how people will see Lisa in the future if she keeps hanging out with people of 'bad influence'.
What if people started to look at her the way they saw Claryce...? Like... a freak?
Having seen a bit of Claryce's past, Lisa gets upset, saying neither she or the other mothers had the right to judge her when they didn't take the time to get to know her better.
LISA - Just let her talk...!
Lisa's told to remain in her room to do her homework... But it's the weekend, and she has already done everything just so she could spend time with Nelson! But now she's stuck here; and... Wait. Claryce told her she'd hang with Bob when her father was busy... So she just needed to wait for her mother to leave for the groceries and she'd be fine, right?
Bart surprises her thinking out loud, and is surprised she's considering to rebel against their mother... But he's curious, and he tells her to do what she must. He'd keep an eye on Marge and warn her as soon as she's on her way back home. This should be fun!
So as soon as Marge leaves, here goes Lisa, climbing down her window just like Claryce did the day prior!
CUT TO THE GROCERY STORE...
We see Claryce awkwardly looking through the list- thinking out loud... Are these vegetables good? How can you tell if this fruit is ripe?... She's so focused that she fails to spot Marge and accidentally walks onto her.
Marge is still thinking of the argument she had with Lisa, and thinks it's a good opportunity to get to know Claryce a little better. Something about the list's handwriting feels particularly familiar, and Claryce looks nervous, about to take the list back, when suddenly...
Claryce is trapped between a gentle, yet questioning Marge, and a furious, inquisitive Helen. She has no space to talk or answer, and soon, Marge starts to take Claryce's defense, and both ladies have a fiery argument right at the middle of the shop.
Other clients start to stare, and Claryce is seen slowly dropping on the floor - her sight getting blurry, her breathing heavy... Soon, we don't hear the argument anymore, only Claryce's accelerated breathing, and, eventually...
It triggers her fight or flight response. And since she doesn't want to hurt anyone... She runs away.
...Without her groceries. Aaand without her bag.
Marge and Helen stop in their track, feeling embarrassed - people were staring at them, one commenting that they gave the 'poor girl' a panic attack... This is probably what happened the day before, Marge thinks...!
Helen starts to feel a bit guilty, too; so the two women work together to finish Claryce's groceries and bring them back to her place!
MARGE - The one issue is... I don't know where Claryce lives...!
HELEN - Oh, I do!
MARGE - ...What?
HELEN, awkward - ...Is what we'll say once we check her ID, of course...
MARGE, gasping - You have been stalking her...!
Back to Claryce's running for her life- until she accidentally stumbles on Lisa and Nelson as they get out from a costume shop.
NELSON - HAW HAW, you fell down!
LISA - Nelson...!
NELSON - Sorry... Are you okay?
CLARYCE - Y-Yeah...! Don't worry, I-- I needed some grounding...
They are about to talk more, but Bart slides by on his skate, saying "Mom is on her way back!" - which startles both Lisa AND Claryce.
LISA - Don't tell mom you saw me!
CLARYCE - ...Likewise!! Oh, wait, you dropped something...!
But too late, the kids are already on their way... She picks up the flyer they dropped - promoting a public event at Springfield's plaza... With food trucks, a karaoke party, and a "dress like a villain" costume contest... She's about to store it back in her bag... that's... not there.
Oh no. She forgot her bag back at the shop- OH NO that's Marge's car. Once again her panic gets the best of her, and she runs back to her place...
MEANWHILE, IN CLARYCE'S FLAT...
Bob got himself quite busy- tidying up Claryce's place, giving it a little cleaning... Doing a quick phone call (taking the liberty to imitate her voice) to order a few clothes... And eventually, he indulges himself and takes a look around. A first, proper glance at Claryce's life. A glance at the computer, the many organized notes illustrating her work as a freelance translator... Her impressive Baron Disaster (and instant noodle) collection... And, last not but least, a large collection of French Literature. Now we're talking!
He's about to indulge himself with a book of his choice when he stumbles on a slightly bigger book - awfully dusty - just as if it had just been clumsily shoved in. Curiosity gets the best of him, and he gasps as he recognizes the pictures...
That's the archive book she had brought back home. This brings him fond memories, and he settles to get a better look at this with some tea. That would make nice things to talk about once Claryce comes back...!
Ah, talking. It was nice to have someone willing to listen to him. And to listen to someone as cultured as she is, too! Not like the lousy criminals he's usually stuck with.
...Speaking of which.
That's probably nothing to worry about-
Ooor it is. Remember when Bob switched two parcels...? He had actually forgotten that Snake was also planning to escape this way, but Bob was so convinced it wouldn't work that he didn't really pay attention.
It turns out Snake had marked the parcel he wanted to hide in, and, in the dark, didn't notice the note stating his parcel would be sent to the police station... Cue a very bad surprise as soon as he tried to bust out! And poor Wiggum not getting to eat the pastries Claryce sends every month. :(
Snake learns Bob escaped, too, and he feels betrayed.
SNAKE - I'm SO going to plant him to the ground like a tree when I find him---
CUT to a door slamming open. Bob screams, then looks confused.
BOB - Claryce?! What's going on?
CLARYCE (closes and lock the door) - SHHH.... They're after me...!
BOB - Who? The police...? (Glances at the window)
CLARYCE - Nooo don't look!! They might see us...!
BOB - ...Claryce! You're a genius! You got these lovely women doing all the work for you!
CLARYCE - ...What?!
It turns out both Marge and Helen not only finished her groceries, but also brought back her bag! Claryce feels bad for thinking they wanted to harass her, and the three girls finally have a calmer, proper talk...
That is, until Helen notices Bob at the window... Sharpening a knife...! (For cooking, but she can't know that). She tries to get their attention, but the two other girls are busy talking - as soon as Claryce pays both Marge and Helen what's due for her groceries, she returns back home, feeling much more relaxed...
Helen, on the other hand, is not relaxed at all.
HELEN - Wait-- There's Sideshow Bob over there, look!
MARGE - Uh?
MARGE - ...Helen, I know she lives above those Mafia guys, but you can't assume she's a bad person...!
Marge advices Helen to give Claryce a rest and to focus on her own matters... Unsure what to think about this, Helen decides to let it pass... For now.
CUT BACK to Claryce and Bob, who discuss about the archive book as soon as she finds it on the living room table.
BOB - Remember when we used to sing together...?
CLARYCE - Oh, the Karaoke...? Actually... I still go every week. And speaking of it, I'm supposed to go today, but since you're here, I don't want to bring too much attention in case people would see me...
BOB - Well, we can very much do that in the comfort of your home, can't we?
CLARYCE - It's... I don't know. I don't feel... comfortable singing in front of people. It's more a... cathartic thing, you know? To sing out my feelings.. How anxious I am, or how my father is a jerk. Those kind of things.
BOB - Ah, I take it things went...awry with your father? When you left with him...?
CLARYCE - ...I'd rather not talk about it. I'm sorry.
Bob has a change of heart as she speaks; he sees her for who she is, and, compared to how she used to be, it's almost... sad? Kind of like him, in a way. Taken away from dreams and ideals of the past... So, as they keep looking at the pictures, he sings to cheer her up, starting with a adapted version of "If you're anxious to shine" from Gilbert and Sullivan.
And it seems to work! Claryce is, yet again, charmed with Bob's voice, and she relaxes...
CUT TO HELEN
Who's as anxious as Claryce was earlier; she starts to overthink - what if Claryce wasn't hiding the criminal, but was instead unaware he was hiding there...?
In the midst of everything, she can't help but glance at the window, expecting to see Claryce sneaking around for her karaoke session...
...
But she never appears.
Helen freezes. Something must have happened to her! So without thinking twice, she runs off to Claryce's place...
BACK TO CLARYCE'S FLAT
Bob is seen approaching Claryce in her back as she's holding a knife, looking nervous...
...and he holds her hand.
BOB - Here, let me show you how it's done.
Cue Bob (and Claryce, finally relaxed enough to sing along) singing "Here's a How You Do" - an adapted version of "Here's a How-De-Do" - as they cook together! It's fun, it's joyful, it's just like back when they were kids...!
And yet, both are unaware that Helen had caught them both in the act.
She was right! Claryce WAS sheltering Bob since the start! She can't believe she was starting to get worried for her...!
