Before the dumbfounded Taryn and dazed Lester can reply, there is a large "BOOOOM!!" from Taryn's basement.
Panel 2
Tenz: Jumping fish-hooks! What was THAT??!
Taryn: Oh, that's just Dad and his experiments again!
Panel 3
Tenz: Willikers, Taryn! I thought they carted him off to the nuthouse for his "experiments".
Panel 4
Lester: Why would they do that?
Panel 5
Taryn: Well, he gave Mom extra breasts and gave our pet parakat an extra ass. For some reason, the Bismoll Scientific Council considered this an abomination. They were gonna "cart him off" as Shades here so eloquently put it... until they found out Dad had unlocked the secret to turning the matter we consume to super-strength.
Panel 6
Lester: Jeepers! Who'd he do that experiment on?
Panel 7
Taryn: On ME. *she smashes the table they are sitting at* (looks to Lester) Who are YOU anyway, and why am I telling you any of this?

Lester: Uh... I don't want to talk about it.
Panel 4
Tenzil: OOOO-kay. So, how are we going to get me elected?
Taryn: Why do you want to be a Senator, anyway?
Panel 5
Tenzil: I'll do anything to get out of living at home. My family's driving me crazy!
Panel 6
Taryn: All right... I've got a few ideas... but we'll definitely need some of you're money. [points at Lester]

Tenzil: Yeah? Who'd have thought buying me my very own reality TV show would make me so popular? What a brilliant idea!
Panel 5
Taryn: Well, when I started thinking about the crazy cast of characters in your crazy dysfunctional family, it just seemed obvious that you were prime candidates to become mindless entertainment for the masses!

oh and Eryk-- is was COMPLETE & UTTER BRILLIANCE to tie-in Tenz' reality-show past from the early TMK days to his getting elected to senate post-boot! You are a jeenyus!!!
caption: And so everyone's favorite white space-trash family moved on up, moved on up to reside in a deluxe apartment in the sky...
(panel shows movers moving boxes into a Penthouse highrise apt.) -- in all panels, the reality show vid-cams fly around at random taping everything

Butler: Jeeves.
Tenzil: Of course it is.
Panel 3
a weird alien woman in a maid uniform approaches
Tenzil: And you are...?

Tenzil: Surely you are, but what's your name?
Shirley: Don't get smart with me, hot-shot. I've seen you naked on the holovision!
Panel 4
(Shirley & Jeeves exit)
Tenzil: Great. Everyone needs a smart-mouthed maid who has seen them naked... I dunno how much more of this I can take. I wonder how many vacation hours I've accumulated?

Taryn: I'm just glad you were able to slip away from the cameras for awhile.

Panel Four
The doorbell buzzes.
Tenzil: Yes! It must be the pizza! I hope they remembered the extra motor oil on my half!

Panel 5
Taryn: Number one-- I don't wear knickers and if I did they certainly wouldn't be twisted in any way. Number two-- call me "babe" again and I'll assassinate you MYSELF.
