gonna look like later on by checking out
her mom and so I do
and I checked her
out she's alright
but wasn't sure so then I looked at her
grandma.
Host: Mmhmm.
Carl: Not bad!
And she's Italian so
I went to Italia.

dug up her incestral remains till I
couldn't find anything else.
Host: And that's
how you discovered Lucy 2?
