Dan steps in to pose as yet another member of the family. Meet the family with Dan, and learn about the underlying hate, suspicion, and skeletons in the closet. What kinds of practical jokes are being played? Snakes in the closet for one, prank phone calls, frogs in beds, and so forth. Odd senses of humor, and bickering as the family tries to deal with the trouble. Dan suspects it’s all leading up to murder.
