[THEME SONG PLAYING]
Good morning, U.S.A. ♪
I got a feeling that it's
gonna be a wonderful day ♪
The sun in the sky has
a smile on his face ♪
And he's shinin'
a salute to the American race ♪
Oh, boy, it's swell to say ♪
Good morning, U.S.A. ♪
[CHORUS] Good morning, U.S.A. ♪
Is dinner ready yet?
It has to be. I've been grating
this Parmesan for an hour.
You've started grating your fingers,
Stan.
Oh, yeah.
I don't care. I'll eat finger meat.
I'm just so hungry.
Shut your yap, Jeffrey.
I'm hangry enough to stab you.
[SNIFFS] Ugh.
These expired three years ago.
Salad's ruined.
It's all riding on the lasagna.
And lasagna's biggest question,
has it cooked all the way through?
[SOFT THUD]
Just needs a little elbow grease.
[STRAINING]
[LASAGNA CLANGS]
There's got to be a better way.
Why are weeknight dinners so hard?
We could've ate the top part.
I just want my life back.
You all aren't gonna believe this,
but there's a class at
The Learning Annex tonight
called "Easy 15-Minute
Weeknight Meals Colon
Get Your Life Back."
My raggedy colon could
use its life back.
No, I mean the colon that's two dots.
Two dots?
- What's up, dogs?
- What's up, dogs,
is we're taking our lives back
from the tyranny of weeknight dinners.
Sick. I won't be doing that.
I have a friend coming over.
Can y'all drop me off
at my curiosities shop?
Thanks for asking.
My curiosities shop
from when Steve and his
friends were witches.
Steve, you and your friends ever talk
about being witches again?
- No
- Did he just roll his eyes at me?
Out of his witch phase
and into his bitch phase.
I can't believe you're going
to miss out on this class
just to hang out with some "friend."
- [DANUTA] Hey, Klaus.
- Danuta.
Danuta.
Klaus, no. That's why I said "friend,"
and not her name.
Her name.
Danuta, of course.
That is the name. She owns it.
What mischief are we
getting into tonight?
We're gonna do hot girl stuff
and burn letters from our exes.
It's a full moon, so the perfect time
to cleanse our souls.
I'd love to watch you
cleanse your soul, Danuta.
- Join us.
- No.
Too late. I accept.
Shouldn't we have stoves
or ovens to cook on?
[KRICKET] Friends, are you tired
of spending hours of your day
cooking one meal?
Do you want your time back?
- Do you want your life back?
- Yes.
[KRICKET] Well, put your hands together
for the one and only, Kricket Limone!
[AIR HORN BLOWS]
There's a reason I start this class
at precisely 9:47 p.m.
Because that's the time
when we've all given up
on whatever crackpot
Chef Boingardee slop
they've brainwashed you to make!
Weeknight meals shouldn't
take away your life.
Oh, but it does, Kricket. It does.
I know, my son.
[SNIFFS]
Don't sniff my hand.
I'm gonna show you
how to make delicious, nutritious,
easy meals in only 15 minutes!
- [ALL CHEERING]
- We're going to get
our lives back, Billy.
Picture it. You're at home.
It's 6:45 p.m.
And by 7:00, you have
an ossobuco with red bean cassoulet!
[ALL CHEERING]
- [WOMAN] Fifteen minutes!
- [MAN] Go, Kricket!
But how did you make it?
Easily. And in only 15 minutes.
[ALL CHEERING]
[KLAUS STRAINING]
[HAYLEY] He'll take
forever to scoot over here.
- Let's just start.
- Double driving canes.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa! I can't stop! Catch me! Argh!
What's crackin', babies?
I'll start.
This is from Bruce at the car wash.
He broke my heart
and my side view mirror.
And now I'm letting it go.
This is from Nolan,
my boyfriend of one day in eighth grade.
He wrote,
"The only chemistry we have together
is fifth period."
My turn. These are letters
from various catalog models
No. Runway models
No. Runway poker babes
whose hearts I completely wrecked.
Uh, this is a cease and desist letter
from Rue McClanahan.
Didn't she play Blanche on Golden Girl?
Golden Girls, you idiot.
And her character gave mixed signals.
Give that back!
[LAUGHS]
[BOTH] Can you leave us alone?
Danuta and I are vibing.
No. We're having a girl's night
and you're ruining it!
Classic Klaus.
You don't like me, do you, Hayley?
I love you. You're family.
But you don't "like" me.
You don't like me.
You're only hanging out with me
because Danuta is here.
You're kind of a weasel.
You always have an ulterior motive.
That's not true.
I wouldn't have joined
if you'd asked me not to.
I did ask you not to.
Yeah, but I want Danuta
to be my girlfriend,
so I didn't consider how you felt.
You understand.
Y'all want to hear a scary story?
I don't have an active imagination.
Is there a video game version of it?
Come on.
It'll stop you both from fighting
and I'll get to practice talking.
I want to be a talker to people someday.
Oh, you'd be great at that.
You do think so?
It was a night just like this
when the shapeshifter demon
who lives in the well
made his first kill.
- [THUDS]
- [GASPS]
Two lovers, Tommy and Miranda,
- were parked at Make Out Point.
- [BOTH] Hot.
After making out for an hour,
hard, for like an hour
[SCOFFS] Just an hour?
Probably in a rush
to get to Pound Town, USA.
Yah, yah.
Quiet, please.
They took a lover's stroll
to the well nearby.
[TWIG SNAPS]
Overcome with love,
Tommy calls into the well,
"I love you, Miranda!"
It echoes back.
"I love you, Miranda, Miranda, Miranda."
But when Miranda tries to
profess her love for Tommy
into the well, she can't.
As if a dark spirit was
squeezing her throat.
- [BOTH GASP]
- When Miranda turns around,
Tommy is gone.
They searched for him,
but he was never found.
Until one night,
Miranda wakes up to a tap,
tap, tap on her window.
When she looks outside,
she sees Tommy. He's back.
He beckons her to the well
where he asks her to try and profess
her love for him again.
Miranda leans over the edge and cries,
"I love you, Tommy"
as the well out goes back,
"Tommy, Tommy!"
Miranda sees the real
Tommy at the bottom.
- Dead.
- [BOTH GASP]
[HOOTS]
Terrified, she slowly turns to the thing
who brought her there.
"Tommy is mine.
And now you're mine, too!"
[BOTH SCREAM]
[HARD ROCK GUITAR PLAYING]
Welcome to eufearia ♪
It's like euphoria but with fear ♪
You ain't dead but
you're scared to death ♪
And it feels real good like beer ♪
Oh, God. Oh, God!
Come on! Wake up!
Don't get it twisted
This place ain't real ♪
It's a representation
of how fear can feel ♪
Sometimes it feels scary
But sometimes it feels good ♪
Do you get the gist? ♪
I knew you would ♪
[BRAKES SQUEAL]
Holy crap. That was better
than any high I've ever had.
I was scared, but it felt amazing.
I know this is crazy,
but would you want to
get scared with me again?
Okay.
But only if my boy Jurgen can come.
- No.
- Okay.
They were dead when I found them!
Oh, you're alive.
Big time. But we need
your scary story again
and the way it made us feel.
[EXCLAIMING]
One way ticket to Montenegro?
Oh. No extradition from there.
Because you thought you'd killed us.
[CHUCKLES]
Smart girl.
Give it to us, D.
Give us the story again.
I don't think I should.
I thought you were dead before.
Plus, Nerfer is sleeping,
and she gets prickly
if she wakes up to a whole scene.
Give us the story,
or I'll slap those pointy bangs
off your gorgeous face.
No, they accentuate her eyes.
Slap the Slap the
This is hard. Every part's perfect.
Slap racism!
Now tell the story before
I lose my freaking cool!
Okay.
It was a night just like this.
[SPOOKY MUSIC PLAYING]
Here it comes.
"And now you're mine, too!"
- Where is it?
- Danuta told it wrong.
Why did you tell it wrong?
Maybe you didn't faint
because you already
know how the story goes.
She's right.
We need to find new things to scare us.
- Let's boogie, Klaus.
- My assistant, Steve,
will be by later for my driving canes.
[SNAPS]
[WOMAN ON SCREEN] Jonathan, is that you?
- [MAN ON SCREEN] Time to die!
- [COUPLE EXCLAIMS]
That was it?
It wasn't scary at all.
- Boo!
- Boo!
You're being disruptive.
I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
We're already leaving, nerd.
This stinks.
That snap thing you've been doing,
that's cool, Klaus.
Okay, this feels pretty spooky.
I brought a spirit box.
It allows ghosts to communicate with us.
I don't know how it works. It came
with a free Hello Kitty keychain,
so I was like, "Uh, sold."
[STATIC SIGNAL]
[WOMAN] Kill.
That's a good sign.
[WOMAN] Killer deals this weekend
only at Nana Pam's Flower Shop.
[BOTH GROAN]
It's just picking up the radio.
[SPOOKILY] Ooh.
It's not the radio. It's me.
The deals are my unfinished business.
[SPOOKILY] Woo.
Rogu, you said
you had something scary for us.
Haunted tub.
- Cursed wrench.
- Really?
This is cursed?
Exorcise demon by fix Rogu tub.
Okay. I think Rogu is just trying
to get us to fix his bathtub.
Wow. We trusted you, Rogu.
Never trust a bad boy.
It's 6:45.
You haven't started dinner yet?
We're starting now
because dinner is at 7:00 p.m.
and this recipe only takes 15 minutes.
I think that lady was a scammer.
We never saw her cook anything.
But we saw her do the splits.
What more do you need?
All right, the recipe says
to start with the cassoulet.
- First ingredient, red beans.
- Boom.
"Soak beans overnight."
Overnight?
A little misstep on our part.
Let's pivot to the ossobuco.
Stevie, my boy, toss me
the pearl onions and veal shanks.
Yeah, there's no way we have that stuff.
Should we use substitutes?
Let's call Kricket Limone.
She'll know what to do.
Are you crazy?
She's probably halfway
to Montenegro by now.
They don't have any extradibiton!
You want to get loud,
you go to a J Lo concert.
You want to get scared,
you come to T. Lumpkin's
Curiosity Shop. Bam!
Gargoyle shoes. Never worn.
That just makes me sad.
Carnivorous pitcher plant
covered in blood.
How did it get covered in blood?
Ah. I used it to clean a paper cut.
That's not a scary story, Roger.
It was for me. It stung, Hayley.
[SLURPING]
That's Paige. She's the new part-timer.
She's been drinking
that iced coffee all day.
It's been done for hours.
Just keeps sucking the melting ice.
- You done with that coffee yet?
- [LAUGHS]
And she laughs at everything.
What's funny?
Nothing. [LAUGHS]
Is it a nervous tic?
Am I part of some sick joke?
I don't know. But I love her.
Let's move on.
Ooh, now this is scary.
A skull.
That's not scary.
That's just something to put vodka in.
Damn, I thought an empty
skull would be a no-brainer.
Groucho glasses worn by Stalin.
[SLURPING]
Paige, do you want a new coffee?
[LAUGHS]
You're funny.
This chick's insane.
I'm obsessed with her.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Roger. What's this?
A map to the demon shapeshifter well
at old Make Out Point.
[KLAUS GASPS]
The shapeshifter story is real?
Yeah. It happened here in Langley Falls.
They say if you call into the well,
and it echoes back,
your soul is taken by the demon.
[BOTH GASP]
Oh, baby that's your ticket ♪
The well is what you need ♪
Ooh, sugar it's time to risk it ♪
If you want to keep seeing me ♪
[BOTH GASP] We have to go to the well.
You broke the Groucho glasses,
you have to buy them.
- Paige, ring them up.
- Okay. [LAUGHS]
She's an icon.
Hayley.
I can feel it.
We're going to have eufearia again.
One of us calls into the well,
it echoes,
and we get the greatest
high of our lives.
I'm freaking out. I can't do it.
Yes, you can.
Before we discovered eufearia,
we were basically two strangers,
both trying to bang Danuta.
What? I'm not trying
But eufearia brought us together,
and I'm not going to let you give up.
We'll call into the well as a team.
Okay, let's do it.
One, two, three.
- I love you, Tommy!
- I can't do it.
- Klaus, you weasel.
- [ECHO] I love you, Tommy!
[BOTH SCREAM]
Congratulations
You're back for more ♪
You found the key to
your getting scared door ♪
Addicted to fear
Ain't nothing wrong with that ♪
But the moment will end
when I put on this hat ♪
Coolest hat in the world. Hayley?
[INDISTINCT HOWLING]
The shapeshifter got her.
Oh, no.
[GASPS] Even cooler hat.
You said dinner would
be ready in 15 minutes
like 115 minutes ago!
We had to drive an hour
and a half out of town
- to find fresh veal.
- It was very fresh.
Yeah, it was really a bummer.
Francine, will you do me the
honor of having the first taste.
I'm too close to it.
Ugh. The beans are still hard.
Impossible.
Maybe you're too tired to taste.
Steve?
[YAWNS]
[CRUNCHING]
It said to soak them! It said it!
That crunch doesn't mean anything.
Steve's always had weak teeth.
I have delicate enamel. [SNORES]
Yes. Rest, my little sous chefs.
I'll wake you up when it's ready.
[JEFF] I'd like to place
an order for delivery.
My babe's dad is trying to make
a quick, easy meal
Pizzas famously take 30 minutes,
and dinner will be ready in 15.
I can't do it! I'm sorry!
- [BOTH SNORING]
- Stop! You'll ruin your appetite!
I need food!
Hayley is a demon, and she wanted
to yell in the well alone.
[BOTH] Okay. Bye.
Klaus, you're just in time
for dinner. Taste.
The beans are hard.
Also, Hayley isn't Hayley.
She's a shapeshifter out in the woods.
So if you see her,
don't open the door, okay?
I'm going to sleep in your bed
because it feels safer.
Hayley. Yes.
Hayley should taste this.
Everything gets better
with a good night's sleep.
[WIND BLOWS]
[STONE THUDS]
[IN SPOOKY VOICE] Klaus.
Come to the well.
[SCREAMS]
Hearing a scary story
is cool and all ♪
But living it is way more fun ♪
You feel big and bad
and 8-feet tall ♪
Look, a sexy skeleton ♪
That was scary and erotic.
[SCREAMS]
I'm in the shapeshifter's hand!
Bikini season.
Real Hayley's missing out.
Demon Hayley! [SCREAMS]
We're back at the well!
[SPOOKY MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh, shapeshifter.
I'm not even scared of you anymore.
The thrill of eufearia is gone.
It's just not the same without Hayley.
The high has been replaced
with the shame-filled low.
That never happens with other drugs.
Call into the well.
Oh, yes. Time for you
to take my soul, I suppose.
Hayley was right. I am a weasel.
Not only did I back out
of calling into the well
at the last minute,
after promising her I'd be by her side,
I literally left her side and ran home.
Bravely sleeping in my own bed.
Say the words into the well.
Or are you too chicken?
Bawk, bawk.
I'm not chicken.
If I'm going to do this,
there's one thing I want to say
that I should have said to the
real Hayley when she was here.
[TAKES DEEP BREATH]
I do like you, Hayley! As a friend.
[ECHOING] I do like you, Hayley!
As a friend.
[DEMONIC VOICE] Hayley's mine,
- and now you're mine, too!
- [SCREAMS]
[ECHOES] Hayley's mine,
and now you're mine, too!
You're terrified ♪
You're flying high ♪
Like making love
to a pretty lady ♪
And she doesn't get
pregnant with a baby ♪
Uh ♪
Uh-huh ♪
You made it to the
peak of eufearia ♪
You never thought
you could feel this fear ♪
[SCREAMS]
Oh, yeah! ♪
Now slurp up that fear
like a rat that's thirsty ♪
Slurp it up like
Paige with iced coffee ♪
[LAUGHS]
Ah! Whoo! Yes!
Wait, am I dead?
Am I a shapeshifter?
- [HAYLEY LAUGHS]
- Hayley?
[IN NORMAL VOICE] You really
thought I was a shapeshifter?
- You're not?
- No!
Why did you act like you were?
At first, I was doing it
because I was pissed.
- I love you, Tommy!
- I can't do it.
Klaus, you weasel.
[HAYLEY] We were supposed
to yell into the well together,
but you let me do it alone.
[BOTH SCREAM]
I passed out, had sick eufearia,
- but then I fell in.
- [THUDS]
- When I woke up, I called for you.
- Klaus!
Help!
But you weren't there for me. Again.
And as you know,
I have the upper-body strength
of a gorilla when I'm pissed,
so I climbed out to find you.
I was gonna toss you in
the well out of spite,
but then you said all those nice,
sentimental things on the way over.
So I decided to give you
the best eufearia ever
by acting out the ending of the story.
The Grim Reaper had a quad guitar.
That's four, Hayley.
He grew extra hands to play it.
You can just tell he is the
boss of that whole hellscape.
I wish you could have seen it.
Honestly,
I think I'm done with eufearia.
We had fun,
but we got a little too into it.
Hayley, something's behind you!
Yeah, that's not gonna work on me.
Taste the beans.
[SCREAMS]
I'm the king of this hellscape ♪
I make skeletons moan ♪
In one final twist my
queen is Kricket Limone ♪
Please taste this.
Leave me alone, my guy.
Come on. Just taste it.
Mmm. [CHEWING PENSIVELY]
Mmm. That's really good, actually.
The beans are nice and soft.
Thank you, Mr. Reaper.
Not! I don't give out compliments.
I'm the Grim Reaper,
not the Praise Heaper.
That's so good.
I'm the Grim Reaper ♪
Not the Praise Heaper ♪
Yeah, that works immediately.
Why is cooking so hard?
Bye. Have a great night.
