When his ransom video is broadcast across the globe Babs, Bobby and Leo (who, now cured of his fear of the outside world has become a rippling mass of muscle and aggression) rush to his rescue.<br />As Vanessa volunteers to be kidnapped herself, sympathizing with the proletariat struggle of the poor indigenous people of the area, Jack and her barely get a moment of reconciliation before Betty arrives with the Odd Job Jet to free them!

Wowing those in his department, Jack is moved to the perfume industry, where he concocts fragrances that send the public into a frenzy for a whiff of the new Jack scent.<br />This sends Jack's boss, Anton Beaujolais, once the most celebrated nose in the industry, into a jealous rage of competition against Jack.<br />However, Jack's new ability to sniff out success comes at a price; his supreme olfactory powers are overwhelmed by Bobby's stench.

Without having generations of oppression and rage to call upon as his inspiration, Jack seems doomed never to possess awesome booty-shakin' abilities. <br />Meanwhile, in response to Jack's sudden emergence into the dance scene, Bobby and Leo resurrect their own alarming style of dancing: 'Stooging' (complete with slapstick humour).<br />Mayhem ensues on the night of the dance competition when rival dance groups, a robot army, the ancient chinese art of clowning, our hero Jack filled with rage , and a badger all come together in an explosion of choreographed hilarity.<br /></ol><center><a href="http://www.swervedriver.com/ojjimages/309_1.gif" target="NewWindow"><img src="http://www.swervedriver.com/ojjimages/309_1_small.gif" width="160" height="160" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.swervedriver.com/ojjimages/309_2.gif" target="NewWindow"><img src="http://www.swervedriver.com/ojjimages/309_2_small.gif" width="160" height="160" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.swervedriver.com/ojjimages/309_3.gif" target="NewWindow"><img src="http://www.swervedriver.com/ojjimages/309_3_small.gif" width="160" height="160" border="0"></a></center> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:oddjobjack:8993 2006-08-18T19:21:01Z 2006-08-25T18:03:01Z Yami no Matsuei - Devil's Trill <font size="3"><u>Episode 308</u>: Politics</font><br /><ol><br />In attempts to doom her least favorite mayoral candidate -Jim McDonald- Betty assigns Jack to be his campaign assistant, hoping Jack's usual ineptness will throw Jim out of the running.<br />Jack takes the job, and is taken aback when he meets his new boss.

But before Jack can underhandedly nix Betty's new squeeze, Jack's picked up by Agent Brody, who mistakes Jack for a fellow agent.
