## Plot

Bryson arrives at his house after taking Katie to the airport, and hears on the news of the town wide fog that is being called, “The Wrath of God.” He learns school is canceled, and also advises the Midnight Club, “No meeting tonight. Stay safe from the fog. I’ll reschedule when the fog clears.” Carson is concerned, and heads to Veronica’s house, just as the fog begins drifting into town. Carson and Veronica stay together, and wait out the fog. Yasmin manages to make it to Bryson’s house, and he lets her in. Sabrina and Kayla binge movies together, waiting out the fog as well. Everyone else stays home, and also waits out the fog. In Japan, Katie stays at home, and learns from Bryson about the fog. Ethan finds Johnathan in his home, but also finds Principal Weston’s daughter, Jennifer Weston. Ethan is confused as to why Jennifer is there. Bryson and Yasmin try to watch movies, but then the power in town goes out, so Yasmin goes to find some candles. She does, and she and Bryson sit in his living room to talk. “So, how’s it going, without Katie here?” Yasmin asks. Bryson answers, “We still call, and send letters, but that’s about it. You can’t really do much when your girlfriend is across the Pacific Ocean. How’ve you been? You just had to murder your crush/girlfriend/whatever she was.” “Yeah, I’ve been fine. The book I wrote on her is doing well. I think people really like it, like giving some kind of closure, you know?” “Yeah.” At Carson’s house, Carson and Veronica are also talking. “How’s it been? Janice would’ve loved to be out in this fog,” Veronica jokes. Carson answers, “Yeah, she would’ve. I miss her dude. I miss having my best friend.” “Well, I can be your best friend.” “You’re funny. I know nothing will replace Janice. You don’t have to be my best friend, though.” Before Veronica asks what he means, she is startled by Carson giving her a kiss on the forehead. She laughs, and says, “You missed my mouth.” The two start making out, and the power comes back. Ethan and Johnathan jokingly build a fort out of pillows to “keep the witch out!” (“Ending Theme”) Jennifer finally says, “Guys, I’m not here for you. You guys know Bryson?” Ethan answers, “Yeah, he’s the leader of the Midnight Club. Why?” “I need to speak with him.” “Well, you gotta wait for this fog to clear,” Johnathan jumps in. “You don’t want ‘The Wrath of God’ to cause an accident, don’t you?” Jennifer shrugs, and asks, “You guys got food?” Yasmin jokingly flirts with Bryson, who also jokingly flirts back. Eventually, after multiple jokes, they accidentally kiss. The two are stunned, and try to apologize to each other. The fog clears, and when school reopens, Bryson and Yasmin attempt to stay apart from one another while Carson and Veronica are closer than before.
