The Turnip Twist

"The Turnip Twist" is the first segment of the seventh episode of the Disney Channel animated series, The Ghost and Molly McGee.
==Synopsis==
Pete and Molly put a Turnip Fest to win Best Fest of the midwest over Brighton's rival town: Perfektborg.
==Plot==
Pete awaits for his copy if Midwest Monthly in the hopes that Brighton has been voted best town. To his disappointment, the winner is still Perfektborg who wins every month. Not wanting to be humiliated again, he and Molly approach the Mayor with the prospect of trying to win next month's issue. The Mayor is all for it and reveals his plan to launch a Turnip Festival, explaining that turnips, despite their indifferent attitude towards the root, helped make Brighton the city it is today. As Scratch insults Pete and Molly over the idea, he is sucked into the ghost realm and informed by the Ghost Council that he needs to raise Brighton's misery levels or else he will be sent to the Flow of Failed Phantoms.
Scratch confidently believes that the festival will be a disaster due to the subject matter, but to his surprise, everyone enjoys the festivities after it manages to go viral. Pete is approached by Eva Hernandez, a writer for Midwest Monthly, who has come to inspect the festival for next month's issue. Scratch asks Molly how she would feel should something go wrong to which she tells him that she would get over it, but that Pete might be crushed. Not wanting to disappoint them, but also wanting to keep himself out of trouble, he recruits Geoff to be the one to ruin the festivities. Unfortunately for Scratch, Geoff ends up being very bad at this and only entertains Eva who tells Pete that Brighton is a shoe in.
As Eva is about to break a giant turnip piñata, Scratch tells Geoff the consequences of what might happen to him. Geoff, in a moment of competence, tears down the piñata and coats Eva in turnip mush. Next month's issue comes out and Brighton is hailed a disaster while Perfektborg wins again, disheartening Pete. While Scratch feels guilty over the results, he takes solace in the fact that the Turnip Festival's disaster was not his fault, but Geoff's, and he's safe from the Flow of Failed Phantoms for now, However, unbeknownst to him, Dianne the motel owner, suddenly gets calls from people asking to book a stay for next year's Turnip Festival, showing that it was not a total disaster. The Ghost Council know about this and are less than pleased to see Brighton's misery level still going down.

==Trivia==
*This episode's title, along with "All Systems No", was leaked online and later removed, only for them to replace "Game Night" and "The Don't-Gooder". This was done at the request of the crew after realizing that the episode created continuity problems, particularly Molly's dislike of close-up magic which she introduces in the next episode and was shown again in "Scratch the Surface".
**Ironically, this episode depicts the Ghost Council telling Scratch that he needs to raise the misery in Brighton, with the episode ending with this failing. However, the very next episode the Ghost Council tells Scratch that he is doing a good job (possibly due to Scratch's no/yes curse's affect on Molly).
*This episode features a death and revival of the Mayor's pet goldfish.
*Eva Hernandez previously made a cameo appearance as Kenny Star's agent in "The Greatest Concert Ever".
