Arc

Donut names the truck's GPS Dr. Metcalf after Bea's expensive fake therapist, and a fan-voted upgrade gives it the woman's face (ch. 17, ch. 73); Donut's $800 crystal cleansing went on Carl's card (ch. 73). A hedgehog named Jezebel once beat kitten Donut for Cutest in Show and put Bea in a funk (ch. 48); Carl remembers Bea's hair caught in a jacket zipper (ch. 58) and the police at the door for three days (ch. 76).
