    This was one of the most complicated episodes. Not actually complicated, but not too straightforward either. This is where you need to know the characters already, unlike in previous episodes, which usually give enough information for new viewers too. The subjects—circus and "nunnery"—are not so interesting to me, but the execution was nice and subtle.

    • Quotes

      Ned: Where can we find these clowns?

      Bailey: Drunk in a ditch would be my guess. They usually stumble in just before showtime. They always travel in a pack.

      Ned: Like wolves?

      Bailey: More like cigarettes.
