Pamela reveals her sinister tendencies

Pamela attempts to pick up the mannequin, but quickly realises that it is too heavy for her to move.

She heads to the shed in search of something to help her, musing that she will likely have to tie something to the mannequin and drag it behind her. In an attempt to make this less horrifying, Pamela dresses the mannequin in the lion costume she finds in the shed (dubbing the mannequin a “wild animal”, instead of a representation of a human being) before tying a long rope around its neck. This strategy actually has the opposite of the intended effect, as the cartoon lion mask actually gives the mannequin more of a personality.

Pamela drags the lion mannequin down the stairs and outside to the nearby pier, where she pushes it into the water. She then, in complete silence, drags the lion mannequin across the surface of the water and back to shore, where she enlists Pilvi to help her to carry it to the nearby sauna.

As the three enjoy the sauna together, Pilvi muses that they will likely read more about the day they had just had in Alibi Magazine (a Finnish magazine focused on crime).

In the studio, after Jaakko mocks Pamela’s apparent definition of an “epic adventure” involving having a noose around one’s neck, Pamela admits that the footage of her attempt looked bad, but that she didn’t realise that what she was doing had looked sinister until she was “dragging her across the rocks”. At this point, the rest of the panel join in with ribbing Pamela, with Joonas reminding her that felines do not enjoy swimming, and Heikki responding that the lion mannequin likely was not aware that she was swimming. Jaakko agrees, adding that Pamela had likely strangled it to death on the trip to the pier.

Jaakko ultimately awards everyone joint first place.
