Notes:
It's Champ's birthday! He gets a cute AF letter from Greg telling him he'll be at Clarence's in Rexxentrum. We go through a quarry to get to the circus faster where there's rumors of an unfound treasure, Tooey does not bring that up. We make camp in some obviously haunted abandoned castle ruins. Bea and Champ run ahead to check it out. Champ licks the door and Bea opens is. Immediately the fireplace lights up and we see images of the Calamity on the walls. Gen climbs a tree and asks if it's safe, no response. We yell back it looks safe and we all enter. Bea sets up her tiny hut for a safe night's sleep. 
During Bea's watch, she hears footsteps coming from upstairs. She tells Tooey who decides to do a perimeter check when she takes over. She hears whispering and chuckling from upstairs and follows it. She comes back downstairs and the chuckle is behind her. Frightened, she starts banging on the tiny hut as a creepy smiling poltergeist shrieks and slams her into the hut. The poltergeist possesses Bea as she, Gen, and Champ run out to fight. Dircc and Journey remain in the hut alone. Champ gets a level of exhaustion and Dircc dimension doors Journey out of the castle, the door is locked so she can't come back in. But she breaks it and casts the poltergeist out of Bea. We all run outta there like the last scene of a Scooby Doo episode, and make it the circus. 
Dircc isn't invited back to rat con. We make Journey and Dircc ride the Tunnel of Love, Champ is swimming in the river next to them. Bea and Gen are doing magic to set the mood (kiss da girl), and Dircc dimension doors them to the top of the astronomy tower. The pair of them eventually get to smooching and they touch tusks (also butts?). They make it back to big tent in time holding hands and Tooey was saving seats. Champ steals money from the crowd and gains 94 gold and a bracelet of Dancing Lights. He gives it to Tooey who doesn't want it since it was stolen, so Champ drops it in Dircc's pocket. 
Gustav Fletching was born breeched and is an uggo. We watch the show - featuring acrobats Journey and Destination- and the performers come out afterwards to talk with the crowd.
