Seeing that Grenadine is in a foul mood, Meryl offers to take her for a walk outside so that nature might soothe her ruffled spirit...
Alas, Grenadine's dark mood persists, even in the seat of nature. She refuses to speak to Meryl despite her cousin's gentle coaxing.
Meanwhile, Gene has gone shopping for records and Marie is out running errands, leaving Vlad alone in the house. A piece of art in the foyer catches his eye... He stops to examine it more closely.
Vlad is suddenly inspired to unpack his case...
He decides to take his business into the living room where it's more comfortable.
Here, he can spread out...
When Vlad is finished in the living room, he goes upstairs to have a look around.
He climbs the stairs his sister has warned him not to fall down, and he is victorious, not stumbling even once.
Vlad gives in to his strong urge to investigate. He lets himself into Meryl's room first.
A strange feeling comes over him as he gazes into Meryl's looking glass...
Next, he makes a visit to the bathroom.
Vlad takes a peek into Marie's room as well...
But there isn't much to it. It appears Marie doesn't have a bed, but sleeps on a love-seat in the computer room, a room with no door... Vlad pities her before moving on with his investigation.
Vlad has saved Gene's room for last. He stands at her dresser and wonders if these men are Gene's many lovers...
Suddenly overwhelmed, Vlad throws himself down onto Gene's bed and lingers there in her blankets...
Slowly, he begins to drift off to sleep, the heaviness of his wearied thoughts finally melting away. It's not easy being Vlad.
Somewhere across town, Meryl decides to turn back. Grenadine wants to get back home and check on Vlad...
