[The camera comes on and here's Summer look wide eyed, a little frustrated, but mostly bewildered. She's outside and she's breathless.]

Oh my God! I just saw... I think it was a polar bear! [It was a Yeti] It was huge. [Her jaw sets for a moment] This is totally global warming's fault! All the melting ice caps are forcing the poor polar bears down

Are you hurt? [First things first.]

[advancetheplot]

No. I'm so fine. Thanks for asking, Atwood.

But even if I was it would be my fault, you know?

[imnotbluffing]

Right. [He's been around Summer enough to know that she means because of the global warming and the way that the human race has crowded the polar bears out so much that they need to come down into the City to survive]

But you'd still need a hospital.

[advancetheplot]

[Cue eye roll because... You're a smartass, Atwood] I'm fine, Ryan.

There are polar bears here? I've never seen a live polar bear except from afar at the zoo really -- and it didn't really look like an Ewok. A polar bear that looks like an Ewok?

[voice]

[advancetheplot]

Yeah, it was huge. I've never seen a polar bear like, walk around on it's legs. [Because, come on, a yeti? That'd be crazy.]

[voice]

[the_dawnster]

[No one's first thought is yeti, even in the city, and not even Dawn's.]

Guess you didn't get a picture, huh? My initial thought would be omg run. Polar bears are huge! And not as cuddly as the coca-cola commercials make them out to be.

[voice]

[advancetheplot]

I was a little too freaked out and trying to do the whole, no sudden movements thing.

[loonyandproud]

If they're coming down from the north, then they'd ha' t' eat fi' dumpsters, would they no? Where else is a polar bear gonna find food in a city, aye? Though I'm no sure about the Ewok part, that doesnae sound like a polar bear t' me. Maybe it was an Ewok!

[advancetheplot]

It was huge!

[loonyandproud]

Well, a giant Ewok, then. Or three Ewok standin' on each other's shoulders. Or a polar bear dressed up as an Ewok.

[advancetheplot]

Aren't Ewoks giant anyways? [She's getting her Star Wars creatures confused]

[childofsocal]

...A polar bear? That...looks like an Ewok?

[advancetheplot]

Yeah! I mean, it was huge but it looked more like a Ewok than a polar bear. Isn't that what those things in Star Wars are called? [Not the cute teddy bears but the big scary ice cave monster. She's got her Star Wars confused]

[childofsocal]

Well, Summer, was it a cuddly not-a-polar-bear?

[advancetheplot]

No. [Cohen, you get this look]

[risetwice]

A polar bear? In the City?

[advancetheplot]

Yeah! I mean it was bigger than I though a polar bear would be but yeah.

[risetwice]

That sounds a little...strange.

[advancetheplot]

I know, right?
