The sisters have finally made their escape from the Louisiana swamp where they have been marooned for the past week. They decide to regale their listeners with songs of drinking, carousing, and a few drink recipes that they tried out of boredom during their swampy exile.

A week has gone by since dear sister, Mingan, has come aboard the Calpurnia. It has been met with much excitement and a small amount of angst. Emmett is trying very hard to be accepting of Mingan's ideas, but after discovering walls being torn down inside the ship, Emmett is forced to use some drastic measures to help make a point.

A few short days ago, Emmett received a note from Klaude stating that she had found the missing third sister, Mingan, and that she will be arriving soon. Apparently, she, too, was on a quest to find her missing sisters.
