Once everyone settled back into their seats Sera appears in the room.

"Let me guess, someone new is joining us?" Gray asks.

"Yup, yup. After this episode nobody will be joining for a bit, but there is one more episode where someone new will be joining. Until then, I present to you The Crawfish King!" Sera announces dramatically. There's a loud thud as a relatively tall man drops into the theater. He looks slightly frazzled before pulling himself together.

"Uh, hello all. You can call me CK." He introduces himself. Sera sends him off to his seat before disappearing so the episode can begin.

(Three men are playing jazz music as they walk down a street in New Orleans.)

Player: I spy with Red Drone's eye and I'm jazzed to present VILE's very own counterfeiter. Right there in New Orleans like my intel indicated.

"So the question of the day, what is VILE counterfeiting?" Carmen asks.

Carmen: He doesn't look like he's packing any counterfeit anything.

Player: He could be picking up, not dropping off.

Carmen: Or being picked up.

Player: Your cars on its way, Red.

Zack: Let the good times roll.

Carmen: As long as the car rolls, have all the fun you want, Zack.

"This is gonna be fun." Zack says grinning.

Player: On the upside, tailing a VILE operative's a great way to take in local sights. You're currently passing through the famous French Quarter of New Orleans, down Bourbon Street.

"Oh I do love the French Quarter." CK says cheerfully. He has no idea how he's involved in whatever is happening, but if he can help in any way he's happy to lend a hand.

Carmen: The city's the birthplace of jazz and home to Mardi Gras, a carnival celebration known for its colorful masks and costumes.

"Kind of reminds me of Carnival from the Rio episode." Player says.

"There do seem to be some similarities." Antonio says.

Player: Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday. It seems New Orleans was settled by the French, and later the Spanish. Descendants of these settlers were often of mixed ancestry, and came to be known as Creole.

"My family came from the first settlers here, generations of Creole heritage." CK says proudly.

Carmen: You can taste this blend of cultures in the flavors of New Orleans' famous regional cooking, including Creole dishes such as gumbo, jambalaya, and boiled crawfish.

"Aww man, you're making me hungry." Zack says. Player throws a pack of gummy worms at him to tide him over.

Player: Just be on the lookout for any gators. One of the largest alligator populations in the United States, almost two million strong, can be found in Louisiana. Many of them right there in the coastal marshlands currently surrounding you.

Zack: Carm... company.

Chase: ACME agents in mirror are closer than they appear.

"Terrible timing Chase, just terrible." Carmen says. Chase blushes furiously knowing now that he's back in the show he'll most likely continue making these mistakes.

(Chase speeds up trying to get close but Zack cuts him off. He pulls around the other side to and yells to Carmen through the window)

Chase: Carmen Sandiego, pull over, so that I may arrest you!
