The Right Doyle

A mysterious man calls the Doyle household and insistes that "the right Doyle" appear in the mall food court the next day at noon, if they don't appear the entire family will risk serious trauma. Never a family to risk serious trauma, the family discusses who might be "the right Doyle" and eventually settles on Christian as he is the least valuable and most expendable member of the family.

Of course, not long after noon the family gets another call from the same caller indicating that the Doyles have not sent "the right Doyle," but that they will have a chance to redeem themselves the next day.

Of course even though they send Jake the next day they get another call suggesting that they have not sent "the right Doyle."

After a few days of sending Doyles to the mall food court Tinny is the only one not to have made the trip. And though they are reluctant to send her, the Doyles are very interested in avoiding the serious consequences that have been threatened if "the right Doyle" doesn't make an appearance in the food court at the agreed upon time.

As soon as Tinny takes a seat in the food court Des walks in sits down with a family pack of fried chicken. It turns out Des just wanted to have lunch with Tinny and he knew that she wouldn't voluntarily join him for such an outing. Tinny decides to stay for lunch, but only because fried chicken is her favourite food.
