When classmate Emmet convinces Mister that a worry stone will calm his nerves, Wednesday offers Mister her marble -- with the promise that a Worry Marble will fix all his problems! But then Wednesday starts thinking about just how many things kids get nervous about. And, hmm, she does happen to have a whole collection of marbles. Has Wednesday just hit entrepreneurial gold?
