Plot

Frank and Sadie continuously wake up surrounded by full martini's and, wanting to investigate the matter, pretend to sleep to discover the culprit. They discover elves have been making the drinks in order to feed off the Doyle's happiness. This seems like a good deal to the Doyles, until they learn that one of the elves plans to feed their souls to the Grentel.

Frank: You know dear, I will say, it was feeling very off genre in here, you know more fairy tale or fantasy than our usual, but a monster puts us right back into familiar territory.
