Meanwhile, Charlie Grrr gets confused when he thinks Magpies are a type of luxury pie!! Also some Magpies are blamed from stealing in the area - but YUJ is certain it is not HIS Magpies; but how can he clear the names of his gang? Charlie also launches a new phoenix pie which causes him a lot of controversy - is it made of real phoenix? Albert is up in arms! Can Paul deal with all these problems as well as everything else that is going on !? Oh... and it also looks as if one of the regulars might be possessed by a demon... WHATEVER NEXT!?!

We also have this episode which - for the time being - will only be released if the show needs to end:
