The Return of Original Isobel Adventure

After she had been RESTORED to... uhhh... "Original" Isobel format (but ever so slightly cleaner and tidier), the teen got re-acquainted with overjoyed members of her FAMILY...
Buddy Jim has got his DAUGHTER back!

There is an AWKWARD MOMENT with little sister, Holly Noelle... I'm sure they'll work it out...

But that quickly passes... BAD Isobel!

EVERYONE notices a big difference in both sisters... They DO seem more relaxed with each other...

Belinda (a.k.a. `Babybel') even finds herself opening a rather smelly present from best friend Isobel... AND she's LACTOSE-INTOLERANT!

This reminds Belinda of ONE last present she has not given out as Santa's elf... UH-ohhh....

Horace is ABSOLUTELY overcome with emotion! (Me too, Rosalinda!)

Ooops.

...But Isobel's most INSPIRED gift was one she thought up on the spur of the moment. NOBODY noticed when she slipped quietly out of the room in search of Santa Claus, who had already given out all the presents and long since wandered off to the kitchen in search of Christmas cake and tea...

Meanwhile, just outside the Sponge Bob room, sheep farmer Gordon McGregor find his marriage proposal to Dr. Agnes Nizhoni interrupted yet AGAIN...

Suddenly Santa's interruption is rudely interrupted... What IS the matter with Santa?

Lord Richard of Avalon? WHAT a *SURPRISE!*

Lord Richard listens courteously - and with growing amusement - for quite twenty minutes! He has rarely heard such eloquence. Even Farmer McGregor and Dr. Agnes put in a good word for Horace!

(I don't think she's EVER been so earnest!)

Horace's unofficial appeal ends with Isobel blurting out heartfelt THANKS! WHAT a relief!

Moments later, Horace gets the SURPRISE of his LIFE! Astonishing!
