Yep, I follow you. Like I said, I wasn't positive about it since I haven't rewatched the episode yet. And now looking back I realized I was putting two different parts together. Thanks for clearing it up.

What if Mrs. Garrett came back from Africa and she had some weird disease that made her crazy and she came back to kill them all and then she brainwashed Blair into finishing the job! Mrs. G was the one the whole time!

Interesting idea. Well I suppose anything could have happened- it was just a dream.

I think the fuzzy dice were set of on a timer.

That episode has to be the funniest ever. Mustang's addition would have only made it even funnier. Does anyone know where I can find a pic of the moussed Blair?

I think the wind blew the fuzzy dice. Blair was downstairs when they came down. Plus you guys...it is JUST A DREAM! Also how did andy die? Blair was upstairs. You gotta remember it was a dream...a dream that BEVERLY ANN was having....Anything could happen in a dream of beverly ann's.

andy went into the store to blow up the inflatable moose, the antlers puctured the plastic containers filling the horseradish which caused him to slip on the Jelly Bellys and when he opened his mouth to say ouch that is when the rubber cement fell in and finished him off. or something like that, death by rube goldberg!

"Death by Rube Goldberg. You probably don't know who that is. As a matter of fact, you probably don't know who I am. But then, I don't know who you are, so we're even."

Cracks me up every time! I loved this episode soooooo much! Up until it was on, my fav. episode was "Doo Wah" but this one really takes the cake. By the way, am I the only one who likes the Over Our Heads phase the most?

Actullay, I do know who ube Goldberg is.

He was a cartoonist who drew complicated machines to do simple actions.

But who was the guy in the suit supposed to be representing?

I know, but when that was said in the episode, it made me wonder how many younger fans who were watching knew who the "announcer" was, and why his appearance was so funny.

since the episode was a type of Twilight Zone Parody, the guy in the suit was a take-off of Rod Sterrling

Yeah, I knew who Rube Goldberg was too, because in science the week before thanksgiving we did a project on simple machines. We had to draw a complex machine using all six types of simple machines that would feed a fish. She gave us a Rube Goldberg drawing of how to cook a turkey or something like that to use as I guide. My drawing was really weird, but, hey, I got a 100 so I'm happy. Anyway...
