    Ms Friz is the worse

    About: volcanoes.

    Story: Adventerous discovery

    Production: it was a quake

    Character Focus: Dorothy Ann aka DA and Carlos.

    Subject Fact or fictional: fact enough.

    Child Endangermeant level: Over 9000.

    They could have got destroyed by a squid. They were playing near a volcano. Ms Friz allowed 2 children to remain on a raft in the middle of the ocean that was on top of a volcano.

    The children were placed in molten literal magma.

    Ms Friz you're fired.

    Should you watch this?: Yes. I still must say that this ep really blows.
