Finally, a mystery that looks like a mystery and has the common decency to tell us up front that it's a mystery. I'm not so sure what the mystery is, but it appears to be inside that yellow house, so that part of the story checks out. Could be abandoned jewels. Could be that a shady developer is using the ugly house to drive down property values. Could be squatters. I hope it's squatters. The awkwardness when Benny looks in that window and sees them on their dirty rug taking hits off a bong they made out of a discarded Mr. Potato Head would be sublime. Actually, based on their body language, I think the other three already know about this, or at least it's gossiped about in the town. But Benny thinks he's going to see diamond smugglers or something, and the others don't have the heart to tell him that it's just that weird school janitor that got fired, and his common law wife, Moon Child. Jeez, guys. Get a boxcar.
