- The Davenport sisters and Phineas enjoy an evening in each other's company. A new postcard in the increasingly disasterous life of the Klaude-o-tron is read alud, new music releases are discussed and future travel plans are bandied about. Oddly, without any attempt to do so, Emmett manages to play three songs that begin with train noises, and Klaude wonders if it's not a sign to stay away from trains for awhile.
