The vampires endure the private school admissions interview process.
Plot Summary[]
Baby Colin is still growing quickly, and has begun wreaking havoc around the house. Guillermo suggests that they could solve the problem by enrolling him in school so that he can spend time with people his own age. The vampires' neighbor Sean recommends the private school that he went to, and arranges for them to have a meeting with the school's headmaster. After a lengthy interview process, in which the vampires repeatedly use their hypnosis to imitate a wide variety of family dynamics in the hopes of convincing the headmaster to accept Baby Colin into the school, they are ultimately successful. Guillermo is able to obtain a fake transcript for Baby Colin, at which point it is also revealed that he has been embezzling from the nightclub to help his family. The headmaster dies of a stroke due to having been hypnotized too many times, and so Baby Colin is not accepted into the private school; instead, the vampires enroll him in a number of different local children's sports teams an alternative way of giving him the social enrichment that he needs. Meanwhile, Nandor has been using some of the Djinn's wishes to try and improve his physical appearance so he can be more attractive to Marwa, but he ultimately decides that these alterations are pointless and uses another wish to revert his appearance back to normal.[1]
