Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for October 06, 2015
Transcript:
Breezy: Rip, someone was after the lamp that Molly was supposed to pick up, and they killed her so they could get it! Narrator: Rip and Breezy stumble on a clue to clear Rip's granddad of Murder! Breezy: Also, the doc just called me... the poison that killed Molly was tetrodoxotin. Let me google it... Rip Haywire: No need... it's a potent neurotoxin found in certain marine creatures. Once you engage a blue ringed octopus in hand-to-tentacle combat, you learn all about it.

That must have been a very unpleasant experience for Rip. Paralysis is not something you can fight with your fists.

Basically, everyone who’s engaged in hand-to-tentacle with a Blue-Ringed Octopus has not lived to tell the tale.

Is Molly really dead?
From http://www.thecephalopodpage.org:
“Some victims report being conscious, but unable to speak or move. They may even appear clinically dead with pupils fixed and dilated.”

Not very popular on the sushi menu, I take it.

Find it interesting how she wasn´t dead, and just needed hospital care when they found her, but now suddenly she is.

That’s our Rip… He loves to learn from hands-on experience. His idea of ‘hitting the books’ involves using them as weapons.
