The sisters are strangely subdued this show. Perhaps, it's the fact that they have missed one of their favorite musicians perform... Or they're recuperating from the weekend's adventures... or they have both been given a glass of warm milk.

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.

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.
