==Plot==
Fernie tells Lucia some facts about Halloween in different parts of the sea while they celebrate spooky season in Atlantica. Lucia loves sharing spooky tricks with her friends when Ariel spooks them, followed by Flounder. Fernie and Lucia will head to Ravi's to grab one of his spooky season smoothies before meeting up at the crystal cavern. Flounder tells Ariel that his spooky trick didn't work on them, as he is just too cute. Ariel states that being cute is fantastic, but Flounder wants to be spooky. Ariel suggests practice.
Ariel tells Flounder to spook Sebastian, but Flounder fails at it until he says his name. Flounder assumes that he's too cute to be spooky, but he just needs to find the right spooky trick and maybe ask the spookiest, trickiest person he knows for some help. Ariel suggests a snack at Ravi's, but Flounder decides to go to the crystal cavern. Flounder decides to spook Ursula, who later spooks Flounder. She mentions that spooky season is one of her favorite holidays. After leaving her mirror, Flounder tells her to help find the right spooky trick so he can spook his friends today.
However, Flounder is still too cute, even with his spooky face. Ursula states that he's too cute to be spooky. Flounder decides to use the mirror to trick his friends, but Ursula is against it, as only mer-gicians who have been taught to use shark-level magic can do the trick. Flounder has only been taught guppy level magic. While Ursula takes Ebba and Flo out for their daily swim, Flounder decides to try the spooky mirror trick on his friends and then bring it back before Ursula returns.
As Ariel, Fernie, and Lucia return with their snacks, they come across the mirror. Flounder then spooks them, and they like it. However, Flounder can't get out of the mirror until he says the right magic words. However, Ariel, Fernie, and Lucia get in the mirror, as a result of Flounder doing the magic spell wrong. Flounder also doesn't remember the spell to free them from the mirror, and his other ways fail, as well. Lucia mentions that the spooky mirror trick is a shark-level magic trick and Flounder needs to be taught how to use it, which didn't happen. Flounder shouldn't have done so, but he loves the spooky season. However, every time he tries to spook someone, it doesn't work because he's too cute to be spooky. He wanted to be spooky for once, but he made a mess of everything. He apologizes, and Ariel and the others understand.
Flounder decides to tell Ursula what he's done, and she notices her mirror. Flounder apologizes for everything, and promises to never do it again. Ursula accepts the apology and lets Ariel, Fernie, and Lucia out of the mirror. They then decide to do a few more spooky tricks while Flounder decides to be cute and not be spooky. However, that doesn't mean he won't stop trying to be spooky. Ursula has a special guppy level trick for him that's perfect for spooky, and Flounder is ready. Flounder then uses the maracas while being invisible (as a result of using a guppy level disappear-o spell) to spook Sebastian. Everyone then appears, being invisible the whole time, having heard everything. Flounder then states that he loves spooky season.
