Plot[]
After giving a talk at a high school, Minogue and O’Leary confiscate a haunted leather jacket that makes whoever wears it cool; something neither Minogue nor O’Leary are used to. A fresh burst of self-confidence exudes from whomever wears it. When O'Leary puts it on, she goes completely rogue and demonstrates heretofore unseen acts of physical prowess. Minogue cannot let this stand, so he too must don the curious attire. Both of their actions earns them stark criticism from Sergeant Maaka, but even he cannot resist the allure of the super cool jacket.
