Just when the police thought they were going to have a break from Tracy's shenanigans, he gets dragged to the circus and plunges head first into yet another case as the poor trapeze artist hits the ground and even the tent can't seem to bear to watch. (I'm not sure how it can see without eyes, but I suppose if the accident is bad enough
it just knows.) Tess, wanting to look away, but unable to, says what we're all thinking. Bonnie, meanwhile, seems to have disappeared, leaving me to believe that the whole scene was a bit too much for her and she fainted and fell below the stands into a sticky nest of cotton candy, empty drink cups, and leftover nacho cheese (but I'm sure that she'll be all right and good as new the next time we see her). Tracy, used to being in the middle of all sorts of crazy things knows just what to do and jumps to his feet, for now is not the time for shock. Now is the time for action! (And perhaps a little gunfire.)
With Louise Trapeze (yes, that is her real name) lying unconscious (and probably dead) in the center ring, the circus is thrown into chaos. Yet Dick Tracy thrives in chaos and so our intrepid gumshoe leaps into action. (He's probably just happy that this means the circus is over.) He immediately jumps over the victim, heads directly to Ringo, and flashes his badge, while Ringo seems to only be able to say "It happened!" What is this "it" and why did it have to happen (and why hasn't anyone checked the poor woman lying on the ground for vital signs. After all, she might not be dead. She might just be really, really hurt.)? Only time will tell. (I wonder if Tracy will get free popcorn, cotton candy, or circus peanuts while he works the case.)
