Episode 167

Princess Lakshmi and Rajiv have the key they found secreted in Quacky and try to distract the two guards outside her father's bedroom.  Finally, in frustration, the Princess just orders them to leave.  They find her father's rooms abandoned, in disarray, and scattered with parts of many puzzles.  They dig out the trunk/chest and discover the key fits but will not turn.  They notice a space on the trunk for a jewel, which must be hidden somewhere else!  Thinking of where the key had been found, Lakshmi goes to check the guards' colons, while Rajiv searches the rest of her father's rooms.

The mayor's secretary mans her desk as the mayor himself was just taken away in an ambulance.  Detective Schmegly, with Farrah the intern, arrives to investigate.  They are amazed at the amount of blood, and Farrah throws up into the secretary's wicker wastebasket before quitting outright.  Detective Schmegly notes the blood, estimates where the bodies were, and finds bullet casings.  He keeps them for identification, but the secretary is extremely suspicious when she realizes something had been found in the office.

Meanwhile, deep below Solomon's River, exiled monks hum in ethereal harmony.  Brother Offenshitz is among them, and he expresses a worry for the missing Chiliwang.  The exiled monks plot taking over the Brotherhood of Monks by taking over the cavern, and Offenshitz says he will become a new High Priest.  The brothers hum as Offenshitz says, "Dees isa my empire!"

CEO Mr. Sampson returns to his office eating a sandwich to find two of his employees, Office Manager Gladys and Jerome.  The British-accented employees were "just looking over the paperwork" and had "no other reason" to be there.  The CEO is thinking of having another sandwich, which presents the perfect opportunity for the plotting employees: poison!  Jerome sprinkles in rat poison and Mr. Sampson promptly digs in.  They watch in horror as the oblivious CEO throws up, negating the poison.  Gladys and Jerome leave, planning to try again soon.
