It's the last straw when three prudish pigs play a nasty trick on the set. So where else would Wolf go to plan the perfect payback, but Harry's Behind the Scenes Bar, Baths & Grill?

Soaking wet when he arrives at the back door, Harry's dragon-magick fireplace soon gets Wolf's fur mostly dry. Shifting to his human, silver-hair-to-his-bare-butt self, he's almost done when the door opens again.

And what to his wondering eyes does appear but a trio of boorish boar brothers-without a single reindeer!-all in a row from short to not-very-tall: Guy, Gresham and Grant Graham.

Wolf's idea is so brilliant, it's definitely dawn coming up like thunder, "outer China 'crost the Bay." (Wolf really likes Kipling). A maybe mean, surely sneaky, snake-in-Eden idea.

Payback is a dish best served hot...and hard.

Join the fun as payback plays out. There's help from Tom Thumb, fine food, expensive bottles of Harry's Dragon's Own Special Reserve wine (the only thing which gets a shifter drunk), Death by Chocolate, Lady Flame, a private tour of the baths. Plus rooms of straw and sticks and bricks and a sort of a kind of maybe Easter Egg.

Fair warning: there's a lot of huffing and puffing as part of the plan. Just not at doors.
