[SPOILERS] We open on an eerie traveling circus and fairground called Signor Romanzo’s House of Wonders. Signor Romanzo is in his caravan making dinner and he sings a Romanian song his dead mum taught him. He’s preoccupied because the BDSM — Board of the District of Suburban Moletown — is writing angry letters asking that the carnival leave town. A bunch of other carnival people get introduced but we’ll talk about them later. The most important one is Wilhelmina who is a fortune-telling child. We cut to Wendy, the BDSM president. She’s venting to her friend Alicia Allotoza about her husband’s affair and the negative influence of the carnival. They decide to picket the carnival so go to her daughter Clara’s room to get craft tools for signs. They find the teenager stabbed dead. Back at the House of Wonders, Inspector Golphini, a Moletown police officer, and his German shepherd, Elaine try to arrest Signor Romanzo for Clara’s murder. Alas, Signor Romanzo escapes as if by magic.

[SPOILERS] We open on Wilhelmina at her day job as the head of the computer science department at Clairmont University. After leaving work, Signor Romanzo teleports into her car and tells her to look for a red Moleskine journal. Once she gets to the carnival, Inspector Golphini's there to question her, and we learn that they are romantically involved. She can't find the journal among Signor Romanzo’s possessions. Six weeks later (Huber loves a time jump), a woman named Ruby Red suffocates the Chief of Surgery at Moletown Memorial Hospital, Christopher Kandel, and takes a folder labeled “Clara” from his house (as well as his Rolex!) We learn that she and Wilhelmina are in cahoots.
