Season 1, Episode 6: Vlad Gets Down

Marie returns home from running her errands with a new look. Her long conservative skirt is gone. In its place, she wears a playful pair of shorts. 

She had really hoped that someone would notice, but the house is empty and gravely quiet, except for the sound of a low muttering coming from the bathroom... 

It's Grenadine muttering to herself, having been sedated and placed in a bath. 

Marie offers her a magazine to take her mind off her obvious woes, but Grenadine only snarls at the dutiful maid, rejecting the In Touch that might have eased her worries... 

Meanwhile upstairs, Meryl sits Gene and Vlad down for a serious talk. 

She tells Vlad in earnest that his sister can't seem to handle his yearning toward Gene. "Let this go," she tells him, "for the sake of the peace in our house."

But much to Meryl's dismay, Vlad ignores her completely. He gets down on one knee and tells Gene he'd like to be her man, or at least he'd like to give it a shot. 

Meryl is helpless to stop the force that has overcome her strange and tiny cousin. 

And Gene experiences a high that she's never felt before... 

Season 1, Episode 5: The Struggle

Meryl and Grenadine are in for a surprise when they return home from their walk...

The house is eerily quiet upon their return. With a sense of deep foreboding, Meryl creeps up to  Gene's room and peers inside. 

 She is not prepared for what she finds: an amorous Gene whispering sweet nothings to Vlad as he is pleasantly roused from his nap in her bed.

Meryl's heart gives a jolt  as she hears the inevitable sound of Grenadine charging up the stairs... 

Even old Chippy's heart gives a shudder... 

Meryl tries to tell Grenadine she may not enter Gene's room... that Gene is indisposed at the moment... 

The sound of Grenadine's teeth gnashing in anger echoes throughout the hallway. 

In a sudden ferocious burst, she flies at the door throwing her full body weight at Meryl. 

Meryl does her best to hold Grenadine back. Gene and Vlad sit up and take in a healthy dose of terror... 

Ultimately, Meryl is no match for Grenadine's serious rage. She blasts through the doorway, knocking Meryl down in the process. 

Grenadine breaks free of Meryl's grip and claws her way toward the bed. 

As shit gets really real... Vlad springs off the bed and cowers in the corner of the room. He begins to weep. 

Grenadine is headed straight for Gene, growling like a rabid animal. Meryl tries again to restrain her, and Gene goes limp with fear.
