Excuse me, but I believe he's married.

After telling her brother about their meeting/dinner date with Mark, and trying once more to get the truth out of Joey, who suggested that instead of going to the authorities it might be easier to just sic Mark on the nefarious ne'erdowells (gee, that sounds familiar...), Sarah gets all gussied up and heads over to the swingin'est club in town. Now, I might not have a lot of experience going to business meetings, but last time I checked, they didn't involve big band music, fancy duds, and fancier restaurants. Of course, if you take what Sarah is saying as an indication that she's begun stalking Mark (instead of concluding that she merely conducted a harmless fact finding mission to get to know the man she'll be talking about hazardous waste with over this dinner that is obviously a meeting and not a date), then I think maybe Cherry should cut out of that PTA meeting she had to attend a little early and head on over to the club to make sure that it continues to be a business meeting. And since this is clearly a business meeting and not a thinly disguised date between a married man and a woman who's marital status has yet to be revealed, the next step is obviously not to talk about said barrels of hazardous waste that are even now killing off the cute and furry animals of Lost Forest. No, the next step is clearly to dance to the swingin' rhythms of whatever is being played by the ghostly band in the background.
Mark, seriously, how many business meetings have you gone to where dancing was involved? (Wait, don't tell me. I have a feeling that I don't want to know.) If Cherry is going to show up, she had better show up soon (or at least send Doc over to make sure everything is still going as planned) and tell Sarah to get her hands off of her husband and start talking about those barrels because she took care of Shelly Welly and she can do the same to Sarah Williams. (Hmm, both have the initials S.W. Surely this is not a coincidence.) While Sarah continues trying to lure Mark away from both Cherry and the reason he met her for dinner in the first place, Joey is on the phone with the shadowy figures responsible for dumping those barrels in Lost Forest (and you can tell that they're very dangerous because not only is that speech balloon a threatening canary yellow, but it's also jagged, as though merely reading the words could send you running to the medicine cabinet for a Band-Aid). Unfortunately, Joey may be once more screwing things up by revealing that Mark Trail has come around asking about the barrels, and from the look of the words spoken by the mysterious rapscallions, they've clearly heard of him. Look out Mark, or you may find yourself falling prey to a little accident (much like Sven did when he got a little too close to Princess Allura). We can only hope that the Jack Elrod Ball will be able to warn our intrepid outdoorsman in time.
