In "The Terrible Tangle," Torchy finds herself in a sticky situation when a broken wax Cleopatra at the museum sets off a chain of events that lands her in a fancy luncheon—dressed as the ancient queen. Bill Ward’s dynamic art brings the gilded chaos to life, from the museum’s eerie displays to the glittering social scene, all in a 1950s tale where a single broken statue can unravel a day.

Torchy gets a crash course in driving from Ed Tracy, who’s just opened a parking lot—until a near-identical car is used in a bank robbery just down the street. With Tess watching from the sidelines, the day takes a turn neither of them expected.

Ed lands a job at the wax museum and accidentally shatters a Cleopatra dummy—prompting Torchy Todd to step in, donning the iconic regalia to cover for the damage. While trying to fix the statue, she’s unexpectedly whisked away to a businessman’s luncheon, where her Cleopatra act turns into an unplanned performance.
