Anyway, Deja Voodoo and You Wish got shunted back to reality, which was where they wanted to be, and JigSaw and Dabbler got shunted back to JigSaw's lair, which fulfils the option because it's Backstage, sort of. JigSaw promptly went back to sleep and forgot about the whole thing, while Dabbler continued to rage away in the other room.
Need I even add that everyone was the correct age again?
Okay. JigSaw's asleep, and Dabbler, who had been peeking through the door the episode before last and saw the whole exchange with You Wish, realized there was no chance of him getting any sex, not no way, not no how. It brought out the beast in him. In fact, he seemed to be going through an identity crisis. Hey! I bet this is You Wish's curse finally taking hold!
Dabbler seemed to be talking to himself. "Am I a nice Author? Am I a not-so-nice Author? It's such a fine line between a nice Author and a not-so-nice Author..."
(He was singing this, actually, to the appropriate music from "Jekyll and Hyde" he had lifted the lines from...)
Then...
Dabbler split in two! No, not into male Dabbler and female Dribbler, as you might expect, but into the familiar nice Dabbler who used to write all those cute goody-goody episodes before he started getting so perverted, and...
His evil alter-ego, C.M.O.T. Dibbler! (And a tip of the hat to Zorlond, for giving me the idea!)
Dabbler backed away nervously from his counterpart, who leered at him disgustingly. Dibbler was dressed in dirty, pseudo-medieval garb, and was carrying a tray full of rancid little sausages. At least, Dabbler hoped they were just sausages...
"Have one?" Dibbler asked. "Special today, two for a dollar and that's cutting my own throat..."
With a strangled cry, Dabbler leapt out of the episode back into reality, leaving Dibbler to finish writing this episode.
"Hey, this could really work out well," Dibbler mused. "He writes the goody-goody stuff and I write all the perverted, anal-retentive shit-hole junk that makes F-Cup Fitzgerald blow his top! And maybe I can even sell some sausages... First, though, I'd better finish the episode."
Doing so, Dibbler vanished himself. Heavens! Where will he strike next?
