They cleaned out two fountains, did some really nerve-wracking window-washing (the inside roof of a food court), dripped three drops of blood each into a circle, did some intense and obstacle-course-based mall-walking, and fought some wild dogs.  They also filled out surveys, gave out their phone number, and wrapped presents for a couple hours.

I'm not sure whether to root for trying to talk to it, or running away. At some point they're going to have to deal with hostile malls, if only because hostile!Abby is likely to be in one, probably behind hard-to-follow chain of several, but this one doesn't even seem to have a safe place to stand. On the other hand, they're collecting hopefully-friendly malls, but are they any better equipped than they were for a fight?
