Black and white pearls imply a Masyu puzzle, but to obtain the grid we first need to solve the clues. It turns out the grid is eight by eight letters and it looks like this:
| Disney, Hallmark, and Discovery | C | H | A | N | N | E | L | S |
| Voice of Mr. Snoops | J | O | E | F | L | Y | N | N |
| Comma-shaped Japanese bead | M | A | G | A | T | A | M | A |
| Related to Athena | M | I | N | E | R | V | A | N |
| [p] and [β], not [t] or [v] | B | I | L | A | B | I | A | L |
| Mummification specialist | E | M | B | A | L | M | E | R |
| Terror Twilight band | P | A | V | E | M | E | N | T |
| Events meriting -gate suffix | S | C | A | N | D | A | L | S |
Supposedly the Ns and Ms stand for white or black pearls. Which way is it? Well, if N was black, then the NN at the end of the second line would make the whole thing impossible to solve. So N is white and M is black, and the actual Masyu puzzle looks like this:
Okay, solve it:
The letters that aren't covered by the loop (the THREAD) spell the answer, FRILLS.
