Everyone in Longely is talking about Blue House, an art complex that will bring the town a theater, an art gallery, and even a restaurant and coffee bar.

Bernie and Libby reluctantly agree to cater the "Alice in Wonderland" themed tea party he s planned, but it quickly becomes clear that Zeb is madder than the hatter he ll be dressed as . . .
