Peter Pan Live Part 3: Who Killed Laura Palmer?

Peter Pan Live Synopsis
Part 3


LB Hideout

On the hideout's hilltop, Tinkerbell flits and flutters and squeaks to tell the lost boys to shoot the "Wendy Bird" with their arrow. So, they are happy to follow her orders. Wendy's lifeless body falls from the top of the set, and the cheers are heard throughout the entirety of the East Coast as viewers rejoice. Thanks Tink!

Tink takes out the competition
Peter arrives with John and Michael, introducing them, and saying he's got a mother for them. They lost boys brag about killing the Wendy Bird. Peter runs down the hill to see if this is true. He chides them for it, and is about to punch the boy who shot the arrow. But he is not visibly upset, as he has no emotional attachments, especially not to a girl. Her brothers look a bit put-out.
Who killed Laura Palmer?
Unluckily for us, she lives, the arrow was stopped by the acorn "kiss" pendant on her neck chain. Wendy wakes, but is tired. The boys tell their Captain Pan that Hook is back. The boys get excited at the possibility of a new mother and want to do something nice to welcome her. So, they slide into the cave and "clean" their room with mops and brooms. I will admit, Peter has a very lovely singing voice.
Song: Wendy

Wendy arrives and agrees to be their mother if Peter will be their father. He says, "Sure, its only pretend", setting the tone of Wendy's delusion for the rest of this journey. The boys beg for mum to tell them the endings to some of their favorite stories.

Cinderella?
"He discovers that she is a lowly maid, resigns her to being a consort and she throws herself off the bridge and dies ... and he lives happily ever after."
Sleeping Beauty?
"He kills the dragon, wakes her with his kiss, and decides they have no spark so she dies and he lives happily ever after."
Hamlet?
"Oh, Hamlet? Well, Hamlet's plot succeeds, he gets his revenge, and goes on to star on his own Reality TV Show." They look upset, so she adds, "Oh, and he lives happily ever after." Now they are happy.

Whee! Poison cake down the hatch
Wendy sees the cake and tells the boys that they aren't allowed sweets. They begrudgingly give in, and toss it out the window, right into....
Cecco gets poison cake in the face

Then the boys decide to wash up.
Rub-a-dub-dub, 8 Boys in a Tub
 The scene fades out, before we know what horrors come after the scene above.


Aboard the Jolly Roger
Cecco returns with cakeface to report the failure and Hook is speechless for a few moments, as if searching for what to say. Finally, "They found a mother?" He begins to cough, and the crew imitates, so that his loss for words won't seem so awkward. Another obstacle in his plot. He must now think, and to think... he needs his muse of music. They ask him what tempo.

Hook: "Tempo? A tarentella to tease a tortured template from my temple."

Song: Hook's Tarentella

This dance gets even funnier by the 3rd viewing, I assure you

Hook lip-syncs the longest note ever held
After a commercial, he's still going
 

LB Meeting on the Picnic Tables

Peter wants to plan some military strategy with his "soldiers" but Wendy has papers ready for a daily lesson. Peter insists on teaching it his way instead. She's not allowed to join in their reindeer games.
Song: I Don't Want to Grow Up
New version of patty cake
QUOTE OF THE NIGHT:
 "Cuz growing up is awfuller than all the awful things that ever were...."
.............  except for this show. 

 They do flips and run off. Immediately after, 3 pirates enter. Smee, Billy Jukes and Noodler have a plan to mark spots on the floor with a red X, to seem like its a treasure map, but really to mark the spot to place the dynamite, all around the island.

In another spot, the boys are play sword-fighting, but Wendy wants to teach them how to avoid war with diplomacy by learning table manners.
Song: I Won't Grow Up
again.They put the plates and teacups on their head and head out, leaving Wendy behind to catch up. 
The 3 pirates enter and make another X. But as they leave, they are tailed by Tiger Lily, who sees what they are up to and feels she must warn Peter. I dunno why, being he hates her and all. 

Her hot island men come in dancing, find the lost boys and capture them, just long enough for Peter to hear out Tiger Lily's warning.

Islander Kurt Russell Jr. captures the Darling Brats

Wendy enters and reminds Peter of diplomacy when he tries to run off. Then for some unknown lack of reason, Wendy and Tiger Lily have a verbal cat sparring over which one gets to order Peter around. He looks like a deer in the headlights, then mockingly repeats, "Diplomacy", as the boys all laugh at how silly the girls are, cuz they are so superior in their minds. Misogynists. Ugh.Wendy's order for them to go home wins.
Song: I Won't Grow Up

They dance and crow about being boys forever. Wendy enters and announces its nap time. Peter says she still doesn't get the dangers of Neverland. On the hill above the hideout, the pirates plant the map. Immediately, Tiger Lily enters and finds it. 

Hmmm... what could this be?
On her left, Hook and Co. are there waiting to catch her. 
Hook:"You found it." 
Us: Really? Thanks, Captain Obvious!!!!

And they escort her out.
