2. Dipper wants to find the author's secret laptop. How could a puppet show be connected to this mystery?

A puppet show could be connected to Dipper's mystery by either holding clues within its performance, or by the puppets themselves being used to convey messages or secrets related to the laptop. Perhaps the author of the laptop used the puppet show as a coded way to communicate important information, or a character in the show has knowledge of the laptop's location or its secrets.
