Episode 136

Rajiv tries to comfort a very young Princess Lakshmi in the coffee shop's basement.  Rajiv has a "wait and see" philosophy, and suggests pretending Lakshmi is a niece from out of town.  She wants her man's love, but it's simply too creepy for him.

Meanwhile, a new plot line develops in a scrapbooking store when Steven, a former gymnast gone to seed, returns to visit his ex-partner.  He left her to follow a Star Trek convention.  He swears he only came to the shop for paper, stirs up memories from the past.  The fact that Steven has touched a girl impresses his road trip partner and fellow Trekkie.  They stay civil, and he gives him the 10" command gold paper, despite...the child!  Their last stint in Cirque du Soleil produced Steven Jr., who is very angry at his absent father; however Steven reveals her deception: he is sterile!  Who could the father be?  Judge Graft enters, cutting their argument short, and she gives her former lover the paper on the house.  Apparently the judge and Steven know each other...  Once Steven leaves, the scrapbook store owner hints to Judge Graft that she may need a sample of his DNA for testing.

Jessica, the university student, seems to be stalking Judge Graft as she manages to corner him at the scrapbooking store.  She pins him down to get his approval for her zombie voting rights idea and he offers a three-fifths compromise.  His not wanting to count the zombies as full people disturbs the equality-minded Jessica, but the judge assures her that "no lawyer in the county would represent them."

At a bus stop, a zombie waits impatiently.  The enterprising Jessica tries to register the zombie to vote.  Other zombies shuffle in, groaning.  A bus finally arrives and the zombies, not sure about their polling places, get on...sitting in the front...
  • Will Rajiv's super youth spit wear off, or will Princess Lakshmi have to grow up naturally?  Or, will she remain a young child forever?  What will the couple do about their "relations"?
  • If Trekkie Steven is not the father of Steven Jr., who is?  Could it be Judge Graft?
  • How will the judge's three-fifths compromise go over with Solomon's River's zombie population?
  • Can zombies freely sit in the front of the bus?
  • Will Jessica's push to get zombies registered to vote work, or will she have her brains eaten?

Find out the answers to these questions and more as we make it all up in, Solomon's River!
