Welcome to Red Deer, pop. 14,293, which is smaller than the real Red Deer. And in this church in the middle of the night is a minister practicing his sermon, and he's going on about "faith, hope and charity" and excuse me while I yawn on behalf of the congregation who will soon have to be bored to tears by this guy. And the priest is startled by a noise, and then a door swings open and we get the Scary Noises And Music portion of the soundtrack as the priest wonders if someone is there. And he hears more noises and gets freaked out and starts going "Though I walk through the valley " like, something is stalking him and he busts out the Coolio songs. And suddenly he's thrown through the air, landing hard and realizing he's been slashed. And the priest's screams take us into the opening credits, and the light goes out in the church, like, at least the savage killer is concerned about conserving energy.
So the SQ crew drive into Red Deer with its "Home of Big Foot" sign at the city limits. And Evelyn gets off her Cell Phone Of Exposition to tell the other two that there's been another murder, like, maybe Evelyn should be driving so that Skeet and Keel can play Travel Yahtzee or something. And she explains about the minister, and says that Mr. Bass was a local Scoutmaster while Miss Jansen was the high school nurse, and the sheriff's at the high school now. Keel suggests they start there; they should "present [their] credentials" and "try not to ruffle any local feathers" while Skeet's all, "Dude, what credentials? Seriously, we have no credentials!" while Keel just gives him a look. Those two always fight on vacation!
