Okay, can we talk about all the things Mabel did that Ford himself couldn’t do?
She figured out the gnomes’ weakness.
She solved the mystery of the eighth and a half president.
She managed to get unicorn hair.
YOU…DID NOT JUST.
That’s because Mabel is The Best™
Also I feel the need to point out that Ford actually wrote her off regarding the unicorn hair. The whole reason he dragged out Project Mentem was because he didn’t think she could get it.
