- The sisters enjoy their day of leisure due to a snowstorm they encounter while flying around the Carolinas. However, Emmett quickly succumbs to cabin fever and almost forgets to turn on the recording device. Thankfully, it's caught almost immediately after the show starts... and, hilarity ensues, as per usual. Poetry Corner and a Dear Prudence letter are shared.

- This site uses Flash Player 10
- With the recent hacking of one of the show's aetherweb profiles by CLANNG, the sisters were inspired to put on a show as if they were the Durmstrang sisters... of course, the ruse could not be maintained, as a fit of giggles erupt from Klaude. The show resumes it's normalcy and they present 2 new segments - 'Klaude's Covers Corner' and 'The Grand Debate'.
