## Synopsis

Sally performs the Dark Bella Challenge (a parody of the Bloody Mary challenge), and believes that Dark Bella actually appeared.

## Plot

The episode opens with Sally rushing for school due to being late. Once arriving at school, a girl tells Sally to do the "mind-blowing" Dark Bella Challenge, or Dark Bella comes to haunt Sally at 3am on Friday night. Laughing, Sally explains that she'll be clubbing at 3am on Friday night. However, the girl tells her Dark Bella would come to haunt Sally at 3am on *Thursday* night. Sally immediately leaves for homeroom.

Meanwhile, Lori's uPhone begins seriously malfunctioning after she did a challenge she saw on DokuDokiNet where you dip a uPhone in a glass of wine. After reading a guide, she decides to prepare a bowl of rice to help dry it out and covers it, wanting to leave it for a few hours.

While Sally doesn't think about the challenge at school, on the bus home, she has non-stopping thoughts about it. Sally, worried, asks her friends, who all advise her not to do so. Sally remembers the girl telling her that Dark Bella would come to haunt Sally at 3am on Thursday night. At arrival home, Sally prepares her en-suite bathroom for the Dark Bella challenge and then comes downstairs. As she doesn't know Lori was using the rice to dry her wine-dipped uPhone, Sally asks Lori why the uPhone was in rice and takes the uPhone out to eat the bowl of rice. Lori silently leaves to go upstairs.

Sally, out of boredom, leaves to go upstairs too. She goes on the computer to video chat with Amethyst and Betty. They notice her quivering and ask her if she's anxious about the Dark Bella challenge. Sally refuses to tell them that she is and logs off to do homework.

Once finished, Sally walks into her en-suite bathroom while extremely anxious and closes the blinds, turns off the light and stands in front of the mirror. She takes deep breaths and begins to say "Dark Bella, come upon me." thirteen times in a row. After she says the phrase for the thirteenth time, she sees in the mirror, a ghastly pale woman with black and green curly hair approach her. The woman states "Upon you have I, Bella Tatek, appeared, Sally FaKaua, for my spirit lingers upon the estate of which I once owned, and I appear every night whilst all is asleep and shan't witness".

A petrified Sally runs into her parents' bedroom and explains her experiences to Lori. Lori, however, explains that it's just a power cut. Sally asks confusedly to Lori but then realises the electricity is in fact out. She opens her flip phone and texts her friends that she did in fact do the Dark Bella challenge and that Dark Bella actually appeared and caused the electricity to cut out.

It cuts to a time card of the next day. At school at 1pm, there is an assembly and Sally accidentally sets off the fire alarm in her sleep-deprived state, but manages not to get caught and school is dismissed early. Once at home, Sally begs Lori and Marko, over the phone, for a dog to help protect her. Sally then smokes pot.

The episode ends with Chloe the Shiba Inu snuggling with Sally on top of the bed.

## Trivia

* This episode's plot started on a Wednesday.
* In the Sallislandic airings, the scene where Sally is bathing is zoomed in on Sally’s face and Dark Bella appearing. It is left in the original state on the DVDs, *Salizaćeg Halowin !* and *Saliza FaKòhaćeg povákantu: Kompletije sezona 1*.
* The school scene involving Sally accidentally setting the fire alarm off due to sleep-deprivation is very similar to a scene in the book *Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth*, which was in fact released a year and a few weeks after this episode aired.
