wouldn't Bree be able to recognize her parents' writing? Unless... who said it was hand-written?? good one!

OpA has confirmed to alysaface, I believe (check the OpA email archive thread to be sure), that when they ransacked Bree and Daniel's hotel room, they were looking for the letter Bree's parents wrote her (among other things, maybe?). I can't imagine that OpA would forge a letter to Bree, then tear her belongings apart to get it back--at the very least, that's a horribly inefficient way of doing things, and I think we've seen that OpA is quite efficient.

More on topic, I think that the Shark Puppet=Gemma theory is the most plausible I've read here so far. Of course, I'm not putting it past Tach to have included the puppet merely to watch us analyze it to death.

I never really liked Gemma. She is acting fishy, and your theory is quite plausible. Hopefully we'll see what happens soon.

Also, if Gemma really is working for OpA, her latest video would fall in line. At the end, she mentions the note Bree got from her parents and says that maybe it could contain helpful information and to let her know if she finds anything. So if OpA wants to know what's written, maybe she's going through Gemma to find out since Bree (sort of?) trusts her.

I'm sorry ... but the shark jumps out of the water, finds the nearest tree and eats the monkey dwelling in it?

Or does the monkey take a bath in the ocean and get eaten that way?

Anyhoo, I'm going on record saying that it's a signal that P. Monkey is bugged, just like the forum has been whispering about for weeks. The creators love giving us little cookies like that so we can say "ZOMG I'm so smart I knew P. Monkey was bugged all along!"

But Gemma's totally fishy too ... I just don't thinkt that the shark is the one who's pointing the finger at Gemma. I think Gemma's supposed to be the Origami Swan with the silver thirty.

So, to recap:
Judas Swan = Gemma
Shark Puppet = Monkey puppet

.......... Sorry, I'm bored. I don't feel like working, so I'd prefer to reiterate what I've been saying for a week. Cuz I can. So there.

It's like you guys are playing out that classic cartoon:

Tach's Blue Shark: "Mornin' Sam."
Bree's P. Monkey: "Mornin' Ralph," taking off monkey suit to reveal himself as Sam Sheepdog.

Shark takes off shark suit to reveal himself as Sheep.

Sam: "Sheep, you can only trust each other," taking off Sam suit to reveal himself as Gemma.
Sheep: "They can also trust me," taking off sheep suit to reveal itself as Jonas.

Gemma: "I can't trust you Jonas."
Jonas: "I'm gonna even the score," taking off Jonas suit to reveal himself as "Brother."

Gemma: "We are watching," taking off Gemma suit to reveal herself as Oppy.
Brother takes off "Brother" suit to reveal himself as "petrol Sam."

Petrol Sam: "Evenin' Ralph."
Oppy: "Evenin' Sam," takes off Oppy suit to reveal herself as Ralph Wolf.

And on, and on, and on...

[Edit, "the classic ending"
Petrol Sam grabs Wolf by the neck, slaps him repeatedly in the face, then takes off "petrol Sam" suit to reveal himself as Sam Sheepdog. Alarm bell rings, they both walk to the time clock and punch out their cards. Cue in Looney Toons music.]

didn't u see my post? :-p a gorilla tries to reach for some bananas dangling over the water, and the shark jumps up and eats him! (for real, sharks CAN jump somewhat)


also, i didn't know we got confirmation that the letter was authentically from Bree's parents. great call on Gemma's reference to the letter!

Did anyone see the email from Op saying they would like a Purple Monkey puppet (for Christmas?) because their internal supply has run out? Could be true that they hand out puppets for the kids. But then again Bree's PM puppet doesn't look at all old as if she's had it since she was a kid (especially since we know they're still sold in Target).
