## Episode

### Opening Scene

Frankie Stein and Lagoona Blue walk to school.

FRANKIE: How was your date with Gil?

LAGOONA: Oh, it was great... Well, the only problem is... he acted weird.

FRANKIE: Weird, how?

LAGOONA: Like almost shy. I don't know... I guess it was the pressure from both our families.

Frankie and Lagoona walk into the school.

LAGOONA: Anyways... How was your date with Heath Burns?

FRANKIE: Don't fucking joke about that... It was a disaster, and you should know this, cause' I was live tweeting it.

LAGOONA: (laughs)

Dracula and Clawrk Wolf come busting in with other police officers of New Salem for the locker search.

CLAWRK: LOCKER SEARCH! EVERYONE STAY WHERE YOU ARE!

DRACULA: As everyone may know, we are currently investigating Invisi Billy's case, and we are conducting a locker search to track evidence.

Cleo de Nile stands by her locker with Deuce Gorgon and Ghoulia Yelps.

CLEO: What evidence?

DRACULA: Invisi Billy's iCoffin.

CLEO: Well, I don't have it, bye.

Clawrk gets in Cleo's way.

CLAWRK: Well, Miss de Nile... If you have nothing to hide, surely you can volunteer your locker.

CLEO: Be my guest.

Dracula opens Cleo's locker as Ghoulia stands looking worried at Cleo.

DRACULA: Aha! Cleo de Nile, I'm placing you under arrest...

Dracula reveals Invisi Billy's iCoffin.

CLEO: WHAT!? This is a fucking joke! Ashton, come out here... I know this is a prank!

Clawrk handcuffs Cleo as they escort her out of the premises and put her into a police car.

(INTRO)

### Scene 1

Ghoulia sits in Mr. Hackington's class, writing in her diary as everyone talks about Cleo's arrest.

GHOULIA (V.O.): ***I know that someone framed Cleo... but no one can understand me! I feel so guilty for letting my BFF go down, but I need to find a way to make someone understand me first... Cleo is the only non-zombie at this school who understands me and, well, zombie language... to everyone (GROAN) might sound like nothing, but in reality, it means I'm too busy to communicate! I need to get someone who understands me.***

FRANKIE: Ghoulia?

GHOULIA: (GROAN)

FRANKIE: Are you okay?

GHOULIA: (GROAN)

FRANKIE: I'll never know...

GHOULIA (V.O.): ***This is going to be harder than it looks.***

Meanwhile, Draculaura and Clawd Wolf are in the janitor's closet making out.

DRACULAURA: Wait...

CLAWD: What?

DRACULAURA: Cleo knows about us!

CLAWD: What? How?

DRACULAURA: It was after the dating show... I really don't know how, though.

CLAWD: What's she going to do?

DRACULAURA: I don't know... but it's Cleo. She will put her power to good use.

CLAWD: FUCK! Shit! What if she tells Clawdeen?

DRACULAURA: Then, I guess we're going to have to tell Clawdeen before Cleo does. Umm... I've got to go. I'm late for Mr. Hackington's class.

Back in class, Draculaura walks in late.

HACKINGTON: Draculaura, you are late!

DRACULAURA: I know, I'm sorry! It will never happen again.

HACKINGTON: Take your seat.

Draculaura sits down next to Clawdeen Wolf.

CLAWDEEN (whispers): Where did you go?

DRACULAURA: I have to tell you something...

CLAWDEEN: What?

DRACULAURA: Umm... I... uh... I've been secretly dating Clawd, as in your brother Clawd.

Clawdeen sits in shock, before getting up from her desk and walks over to Mr. Hackington's desk to grab a ruler, which she snaps to shape into a stake.

DRACULAURA: Umm, Clawdeen? What are you doing?

CLAWDEEN: Why is it that my best friends always stab me in the back?

DRACULAURA: Huh?

Clawdeen stabs Draculaura with the stake.

CLAWDEEN: You stab my back... I stab your heart.

It's revealed that this was a day dream created in Draculaura's mind of a hypothetical outcome.

### Scene 2

In New Salem Police Department, Cleo sits in the interrogation room as Dracula and Clawrk come in.

CLEO: Can I leave now?

CLAWRK: No can do, Miss de Nile... You're a suspect in the Invisi Billy murder case.

CLEO: Oh my Ra. This is ridiculous, and you know it.

DRACULA: Silence... We can't begin the interview without your father present.

CLEO: You told my father?

Ramses de Nile enters the interrogation room.

RAMSES: Cleo, don't say anything until a lawyer is present.

CLEO: It wouldn't matter what I say, because I DIDN'T DO SHIT!!!

CLAWRK: Then why was Invisi Billy's iCoffin was in your locker?

CLEO: I don't know... My locker was broken into before... Someone stole my amulet around the time of Invisi Billy's death.

CLAWRK: Why didn't you report this?

CLEO: Because I didn't want people to know I still cared about my ex.

DRACULA: Your ex?

CLEO: (sigh) Clawd... He gave me the amulet.

RAMSES: Umm... What does this amulet look like?

CLEO: Well, it's gold and has a diamond in the middle... But it's been so long since I last looked at it, I kinda forgot.

DRACULA: We'll let you go... but we need to take your iCoffin for evidence.

CLEO: What? No! Are you insane?

RAMSES: CLEO! Just give detective Dracula your iCoffin, then you can leave!

Cleo reluctantly hands over her iCoffin.

CLEO: You better prove I haven't done this... Something like this could ruin a ghoul's reputation.

Dracula opens the door for Cleo, who storms out of the interrogation room. Dracula also leaves.

RAMSES: You know my daughter hasn't done this...Clawrk, I wouldn't be so quick to judge my daughter, considering your daughter's "issues" with stealing.

CLAWRK: What the hell are you talking about?

RAMSES: Howleen... She was arrested after caught with a suspicious item... an amulet... presumed stolen. I paid everyone to keep quiet and Dracula doesn't know.

CLAWRK: I-I-I don't understand.

RAMSES: The amulet is in my possession... And if I suspect what you're thinking, well... You're fucked.

### Scene 3

Back at school, Ghoulia is trying to get Deuce to listen to her.

GHOULIA: (GROAN)

DEUCE: Ghoulia, I don't have time! I need to see if Cleo is okay.

GHOULIA: (sigh)

Deuce leaves and Ghoulia looks around for help where she sees Frankie, Clawdeen and Draculaura talking at the lockers.

CLAWDEEN: I know me and Cleo aren't best ghoulfriends, but even I know she isn't capable of murder.

DRACULAURA: She can't be the killer, right?

FRANKIE: I agree with Clawdeen, it had to be a staged crime scene. There's just no way the killer would keep evidence at school.

Ghoulia walks over.

FRANKIE, DRACULAURA, CLAWDEEN: Hey, Ghoulia!

GHOULIA: (GROAN)

Ghoulia then gives Frankie a drawing, revealing that someone put evidence into Cleo's locker.

FRANKIE: Ghoulia, do you know who is trying to frame Cleo?

Ghoulia shakes her head "no".

DRACULAURA: Either way, this is proof Cleo didn't do it!

CLAWDEEN: Only one problem; the police can't accept drawings as statements.

DRACULAURA: You're right.

FRANKIE: I know! We can visit Cleo during lunch and ask her for help.

GHOULIA: (GROAN)

CLAWDEEN: That's a great idea!

The bell rings.

DRACULAURA: C'mon, let's get to class and meet up here after school. Umm... Where's Lagoona?

FRANKIE: Where do you think?

CLAWDEEN: Gil?

FRANKIE: Obvi.

The ghouls begin to walk to class when Clawdeen's iCoffin rings.

CLAWDEEN: I'll meet you ghouls in class, I need to take this!

DRACULAURA: Okay, see ya!

Frankie, Draculaura and Ghoulia leave together.

CLAWDEEN: Hey, dad! What's up?

CLAWRK: Have you seen Howleen?

CLAWDEEN: No, why?

CLAWRK: (sigh) We have a problem, Clawdeen.

### Scene 4

At the pool, Lagoona is swimming underwater, comes back up to the surface, and makes her way to the edge of the pool.

GIL: Hey, can we talk?

Lagoona and Gil sit at the bleachers and talk.

LAGOONA: Why are you acting weird?

GIL: Weird?

LAGOONA: I don't mean monster-weird, I mean, socially weird.

GIL: Oh! If I'm being honest, Lagoona... I didn't think you would like me.

LAGOONA: What?

GIL: Oh, c'mon, our families are enemies.

LAGOONA: So... I get it, it's weird! But we weren't around for our ancestors' feuds, so we don't need to act like them.

GIL: Yeah, I get that... but my parents are strict.

LAGOONA: So can my dad... but I'm willing to give us a try.

Lagoona holds on to Gil's hand, and they both smile at each other.

LAGOONA: Why are families difficult?

They both then look at each other and kiss.

LAGOONA: Do you want to do that again?

GIL: Umm... sure.

Back at class.

Draculaura receives a text.

DRACULAURA: Umm... Miss, can I use the bathroom?

Draculaura then meets Clawdeen in the bathroom.

DRACULAURA: You texted me, is it an emergency?

CLAWDEEN: You know how Cleo's amulet was stolen by Howleen and Cleo's dad sorta has it?

DRACULAURA: Yeah?

CLAWDEEN: We have a problem... because Mayor de Nile thinks Howleen is now a suspect... and if that amulet matches the same description Cleo has for the one stolen from her locker, then Howleen is fucked! We're all fucked!

DRACULAURA: What if... uh... you steal it back?

CLAWDEEN: What!? Are you insane? And even if I wanted to, I can't, because Cleo's home.

DRACULAURA: You can at least try.

CLAWDEEN: I guess you're right. I'll go steal the amulet when nobody is looking.

DRACULAURA: Okay, I'll cover for you.

Draculaura leaves the bathroom.

CLAWD: Hey, Draculaura!

DRACULAURA: CLAWD!? Clawdeen's in the bathroom!

CLAWD: Sorry. Uh, were you telling her about us?

DRACULAURA: No, and about that... We're going to have to put that off until we sort out an issue.

CLAWD: Issue? What issue?

DRACULAURA: Nothing for you to worry about.

Draculaura and Clawd walk past Spectra Vondergeist, who is selling a student her latest newspaper, exposing Scarah Screams for her affair with Invisi Billy.

DRACULAURA: Hey, Spectra?

SPECTRA: Hey, Draculaura! Clawd!

DRACULAURA: What are you doing?

SPECTRA: Exposing a rat.

DRACULAURA: Oh, uh, have fun.

SPECTRA: Oh, I am.

CLAWD: Great.

Draculaura and Clawd walk away as Spectra sees Scarah across from her. She slams her locker and walks away as Spectra leaves with a sinister smile spreading across her face.

### Scene 5

At lunch, Lagoona meets Gil by his locker.

LAGOONA: Hey!

GIL: Hey. How was your day?

LAGOONA: Creeperific, how about yourself?

GIL: Same. So, do you want to see a movie tonight?

LAGOONA: You + Me in a dark room with no one to know we're dating... Perfect!

Frankie, Draculaura and Ghoulia walk over.

FRANKIE: Lagoona! We need you to come to Cleo's with us.

LAGOONA: What!? Why?

DRACULAURA: Cleo is the only monster at the school who understands Ghoulia, and we think she knows who's trying to frame Cleo.

LAGOONA: Oh my ghoul.

At Cleo's house, Cleo is in her bedroom with Deuce, Frankie, Draculaura, Lagoona, and Ghoulia.

CLEO: It's so nice of you to visit me. But where's Clawdeen?

DRACULAURA: Umm.. Oh! Uh, she's busy...

CLEO: I can't believe my life is ruined!

DEUCE: Cleo, I promise no one thinks you are a killer.

CLEO: Really!?

DEUCE: Well... I, uh, don't know for sure, but...maybe? (nervous laugh)

FRANKIE: Cleo, We need your help with something.

CLEO: With what, exactly?

DRACULAURA: You're the only other non-zombie at Monster High to understand Ghoulia...

CLEO: And...?

DRACULAURA: And she has evidence someone tried to frame you with Invisi Billy's iCoffin.

CLEO: Oh my Ra! Great detective work, Ghouls... Frankie, maybe you're not so useless after all.

FRANKIE: Um, thanks?

CLEO: So Ghoulia, tell me the tea.

GHOULIA: (GROAN)

Cleo: Oh my...

DEUCE: What?

CLEO: Well, she doesn't know who it exactly is... but you're right! I suspect I'm being framed, and I just wanted to thank myself for solving this case.

FRANKIE: Yeah... But one problem.

CLEO: What problem?

FRANKIE: Because you are the only person to understand Ghoulia... There isn't anyone to translate to the detectives.

CLEO: I can translate her language?

DRACULAURA: Because you are friends with Ghoulia, you could pretty much make Ghoulia say anything you want.

CLEO: Oh, RIGHT! Shit!

DEUCE: Wait... What about Robecca Steam?

CLEO: Robecca?

DEUCE: Yeah. There's a girl in the same sophomore year as us... and she's a robot and inventor.

FRANKIE: Inventor? Maybe she can help us.

CLEO: Yeah! Ghouls, let's get back to school.

At school, Robecca Steam is introduced.

ROBECCA: Oh wow! I guess you're in luck then. I was making this choker that can translate any language, including zombie... into English.

LAGOONA: So cool!

ROBECCA: One problem, though... I don't have enough power to keep it charged!

LAGOONA: Well, Frankie can control electricity.

ROBECCA: That's perfect!

Robecca then plugs Frankie's neck bolts to the translator and charges it. The choker makes a beeping sound, and the light turns green, signaling that it is ready to use.

ROBECCA: Clawsome!

Robecca gives Ghoulia the choker and she puts it on.

CLEO: ...Well, speak!

GHOULIA: Hi?

FRANKIE: Oh my god!

GHOULIA: What?

FRANKIE: Nothing... I've never heard you speak English before.

GHOULIA: C'mon, let's get to the police department.

As everyone leaves, Cleo stops Draculaura.

CLEO: Don't think I haven't forgot about you and Clawd.

DRACULAURA: Cleo, what are you planning?

CLEO: Me? I'm planning nothing... yet!

Cleo leaves as Draculaura looks worried. She texts Clawd, "We need to meet!"

### Scene 6

At the Police Department, Frankie, Cleo, Deuce and Ghoulia storm in.

CLEO: We have to report an incident...

DRACULA: Oh?

CLEO: Ghoulia?

GHOULIA: I have some information about Invisi Billy's iCoffin... Basically, Cleo is innocent.

Draculaura meets Clawd at the cemetery.

DRACULAURA: Hey, I'm sorry I asked you to meet me here.

CLAWD: What's wrong?

DRACULAURA: Cleo's not going to let this thing go... And worst of all, I don't know what she's got planned.

Draculaura begins to cry and Clawd comforts her.

CLAWD: Draculaura... We can tell Clawdeen before she does.

DRACULAURA: We can't... Clawdeen is going through a lot right now.

CLAWD: Then what do we do? Break-up?

DRACULAURA: No, of course not... But maybe at school, we should keep our distance.

CLAWD: And when will we be able to tell Clawdeen?

DRACULAURA: When the timing's right... I promise, we won't have to stay like this.

After the movies, Lagoona and Gil hold hands as they walk.

LAGOONA: That movie was great!

GIL: Yeah, I enjoyed it.

LAGOONA: We should do this some other time... Maybe at my house... Well, when my father is away.

GIL: Yeah, that'll be great!

Lagoona stops and kisses Gil as it appears that someone is taking pictures of them.

### Final Scene

At Cleo's house, Clawdeen breaks into Ramses' office and begins searching for the amulet, and comes across a box containing one. She replaces it with a different one and turns to notice the handle is moving as Ramses comes into the room, Clawdeen disappears out the window with the amulet.

Ramses then goes over to the window and shuts it. He walks over to see if the amulet matched Cleo's description, but notices that it doesn't match, because Clawdeen replaced the amulets in time. Clawdeen wipes the sweat off of her forehead and jumps down from the window before running away.
