In "At Loss for a Boss," Jo finds herself unexpectedly in charge when Pepper locks up Mr. Quimby and ties up Mr. Maypole, leaving Lolly to run the office. Now facing off with Mr. Fife, the company’s toughest client, Lolly must keep things running—no small feat when the boss is out of commission.

In "The Twin Pines Plot," Lolly and Granny head to Pepper's summer camp, thinking it’s a chance to ease Lolly’s homesickness—only to discover Pepper has vanished into the hills, chasing rumors of a long-lost gold mine. With no map and only a sketchy trail, the pair must navigate the wilds of Twin Pines, where every rustle in the brush feels like a clue… or a trap.

In "Hero Happy," Lolly's big moment takes a wild turn when she wins a date with the dashing movie star Marlon Crush on a TV quiz show—only to be struck mute by excitement. With Pepper and Granny rushing in to help, the studio descends into chaotic fun, turning a simple game show into a whirlwind of mishaps and laughs.

In "The Art Department," Lolly’s frustration with Pepper’s messy painting spills over when he drips paint on everything—floor, wall, table—until he accidentally gets paint on her dress, leading to a surprisingly tubby twist. The story captures a lighthearted clash of creativity and chaos, all in a single, perfectly paced page.
