## Episode

### Opening Scene

The episode opens with Bloodgood walking through Monster High's hallways, walking past the students.

BLOODGOOD (V.O.): ***They called me crazy when I offered to build up Monster High from scratch... And maybe I am crazy, because I refuse to give in! I need this school to work, but with a murderer on the loose, it's surely going to give me a bad reputation. And I cannot let that happen.***

Bloodgood is now in her office continuing to write in her diary when Ramses de Nile comes busting into her office, where he slams a newspaper on to her desk with Invisi Billy's murder as headline news.

RAMSES: Who told them?

BLOODGOOD: Well, it wasn't me.

RAMSES: Then who was it that leaked the information to the normies? Don't you get it, I work with these people, and now I have to explain to the rest of the community of New Salem.

BLOODGOOD: I don't know... Anyone in the monster population could have leaked the information.

RAMSES: Well then... I propose we find this killer as soon as possible and take affirmative action.

BLOODGOOD: Agreed! But how?

RAMSES: Leave that to me. But in the meantime, you will continue on as normal.

(INTRO)

### Scene 1

At the swimming pool, the Swim team are training - the freshwater monsters are in one pool while the saltwater monsters are in a different one. Frankie Stein walks over with a towel as Lagoona Blue emerges from the pool.

FRANKIE: Wow... You're amazing!

LAGOONA: Easy there, sparky! I'm covered in water and you conduct electricity.

FRANKIE: Oh, right! Sorry!

LAGOONA: It's cool. (laughs)

Lagoona takes the towel off Frankie and wraps it around herself as Gil Webber approaches them.

GIL: Hey, Lagoona. Hey, Frankie.

LAGOONA: Oh! Hey Gil.

FRANKIE: Hi Gil.

GIL: You're pretty fast...for a saltwater monster.

LAGOONA: Haha! You wish.

GIL: Haha! I guess we will see. Are you participating in the school's dating show?

FRANKIE: What's that?

GIL: The school is hosting some type of dating show with the students as contestants... There are sign up sheets around the school. Well, it's been nice seeing you, Frankie.... You too, Lagoona.

Gil winks at Lagoona and walks away.

LAGOONA: He's such an asshole!

FRANKIE: WHAT!? He's hot. And he likes you.

LAGOONA: WHAT!? HAHA! I think you need to loosen those bolts in your neck.

FRANKIE: No, I'm serious! I think he likes you. You should ask him out on a date.

LAGOONA: Ugh! Even if I wanted to, I can't.

FRANKIE: Why?

LAGOONA: Because he's a freshwater monster, and I'm a saltwater monster...

FRANKIE: So?

LAGOONA: It's hard to explain... But basically, saltwater and freshwater species don't get along!

FRANKIE: You and Gil seem to get along.

LAGOONA: Hmm... I guess you're right.

FRANKIE: Of course I'm right! Now grab that freshwater bull by the horns!

LAGOONA: Um... Okay.

Lagoona walks over to Gil while Scarah Screams walks over to Frankie.

SCARAH: Hey! We still have that interview.

FRANKIE: Oh. Right!

### Scene 2

Draculaura and Clawdeen Wolf are decorating the hall for the dating show.

CLAWDEEN: So Howleen stole Cleo's amulet...

DRACULAURA: OMG... Wait, didn't Cleo get an amulet stolen from her locker?

CLAWDEEN: Oh, yeah! I guess I forgot.

DRACULAURA: Do you think Howleen stole that amulet?

CLAWDEEN: I don't know... I mean, Cleo does have a lot of amulets, but I guess it's kinda suspicious that the moment Cleo loses a necklace, one turns up in Howleen's possession.

DRACULAURA: True, maybe you should confront her?

CLAWDEEN: I can't... I'm so mad at her that I could tear her jugular with my teeth.

DRACULAURA: I guess where's the amulet right now?

CLAWDEEN: The mayor has it.

DRACULAURA: Oh!... I need to get more paint.

Draculaura walks over to a desk with paints, where the janitor's closet opens, and Clawd Wolf appears out.

DRACULAURA: CLAWD?! (whispers) Clawdeen is over there!

CLAWD: I know. Come in here.

Draculaura turns to see if Clawdeen is distracted and walks into the closet with Clawd.

DRACULAURA: We can't do this now! Your fucking sister is here.

CLAWD: I know. I just wanted to ask you if you can sign up for the dating show.

DRACULAURA: Um...?

CLAWD: If you and I sign up, we can both get a chance to pick each other, then that way we can spend time together without having to cover our tracks from Clawdeen.

DRACULAURA: That's...actually.... A BRILLIANT IDEA!

CLAWD: I know. I will text you my number so you know to pick me before the show starts.

DRACULAURA: Okay...(sigh)

CLAWD: What's wrong?

DRACULAURA: I don't want to hide our relationship from Clawdeen forever... She's my BFF and we share everything.

CLAWD: I know and we will eventually. But for now, let's enjoy us.

Draculaura and Clawd lean in for a kiss.

### Scene 3

Bloodgood is in her office writing in her diary.

BLOODGOOD (V.O.): ***Dear Diary, this cannot be happening right now! Whoever is attacking my legacy - this means war! Hell hath no fury like woman scorned!***

Dracula walks into Bloodgood's office holding a bouquet of flowers.

BLOODGOOD: Why must you torture me?

DRACULA: I'm sorry?

BLOODGOOD: Nothing... I'm stressed.

DRACULA: Over the leaked information?

BLOODGOOD: What else is there to be stressed about?

DRACULA: Ah! What are you doing?

BLOODGOOD: Going through all the students that go here and deciding which ones may be at risk of being a killer.

DRACULA: Any luck?

BLOODGOOD: Not even a little. I kinda want to kick my own head out of the window.

DRACULA: How about I take you out for lunch... Take your mind off things.

BLOODGOOD: Hmm... I would like that actually. But what are you going to say to Draculaura?

DRACULA: She doesn't have to know anything. Not yet at least. Umm... Have you looked into your employees?

BLOODGOOD: My employees?

DRACULA: Yeah... It might not have been a student.

BLOODGOOD: ....FUCK!

### Scene 4

Frankie is sitting in her seat preparing for a radio interview while Spectra Vondergeist sets up Frankie's equipment.

FRANKIE: Hey! What's your name?

SPECTRA: Spectra...Spectra Vondergeist... And you're Frankie?

FRANKIE: Yeah!

Meanwhile, Clawdeen corners Howleen in the school hall.

HOWLEEN: What?

CLAWDEEN: Did you break into Cleo's locker to steal her amulet?

HOWLEEN: No... Of course not.

CLAWDEEN: Oh c'mon, how stupid do I look... Cleo loses a amulet and one that you stole shows up in your possession. Explain that.

HOWLEEN: I stole it from her house... It was before she and Clawd broke up. I promise I have nothing to do with the missing amulet from Cleo's locker... Maybe she hasn't noticed the one I stole yet.

CLAWDEEN: I really wish I can trust you.

HOWLEEN: I swear, I'm innocent!

Clawdeen begins to walk away.

CLAWDEEN: This isn't over!

Back at the radio interview, the students around the school are ready to hear Frankie's interview.

SCARAH: So, Frankie...

FRANKIE: Whu-whut? Oh!

SCARAH: Are you excited about your first ever semester at Monster High?

FRANKIE: Yeah... I mean between the murder and constant worrying, I made some ghoulfriends.

SCARAH: Excellent news.

Cleo de Nile stands in the hallway with Deuce Gorgon, Heath Burns and Ghoulia Yelps.

CLEO: Why didn't they ask me for an interview?... I mean my favorite subject to talk about is...well, me!

GHOULIA: (GROAN)

CLEO: Not comforting, Ghoulia! I know something that can teach Scarah a lesson.

Cleo takes out her iCoffin and texts.

DEUCE: What are you doing?

CLEO: Remember when Scarah had an affair with our dearly departed Invisi Billy?

DEUCE: Yeah?

CLEO: Well, it was literally an affair... because Billy the kid was dating Scarah's co-editor, Spectra... and I have picture evidence.

Cleo presses send.

### Scene 5

Meanwhile in Mr. Hackington's classroom, Bloodgood and Dracula interrogate him.

BLOODGOOD: What do you mean it wasn't you who leaked the information to the normies? You're literally the only human that goes to Monster High.

HACKINGTON: But I'm nothing like them... I was cast away by them a long time ago.

DRACULA: Did you kill Invisi Billy?

HACKINGTON: What!? No!

BLOODGOOD: But you're literally a former serial killer... Surely the students here are fair game to your uses?

HACKINGTON: No. I enjoy teaching here and haven't desired to kill anyone since.... I promise I've changed!

Back at the interview, Spectra looks worried while looking at her iCoffin.

SPECTRA: H-How could you do this to me, Scarah?

SCARAH: What?

SPECTRA: You slept with my boyfriend!

SCARAH: Umm...

SPECTRA: You're fired! Please leave.

Scarah gets up and before leaving the room

SCARAH: I'm sorry about Invisi Billy...but...

SPECTRA: Leave now!

Spectra dynasty-style slaps Scarah, but her hand goes through her because she's a ghost.

SPECTRA: Shit!

In Bloodgood's Office...

DRACULA: Do you think he did?

BLOODGOOD: I don't know.

DRACULA: Shit!...What do we do then?

BLOODGOOD: You're the detective.

They both laugh.

DRACULA: So what do you want for lunch?

BLOODGOOD: YOU!

They both begin to kiss when the door knocks and Ramses enters, making them stop.

RAMSES: I need you, Dracula.

DRACULA: Why?

RAMSES: I'm holding a press conference, and I need my most trusted detectives on the case.

### Scene 6

In the hallways, Draculaura meets Clawdeen and they both walk to the creepateria.

CLAWDEEN: Where'd you go earlier?

DRACULAURA: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM.... shopping!

CLAWDEEN: Without me?

DRACULAURA: Sorry.

CLAWDEEN: Well, I confronted Howleen.

DRACULAURA: What'd she say?

CLAWDEEN: She claims that she stole it from Cleo's home... but I don't know if I can believe her anymore.

They both enter the creepateria and see Lagoona and Gil sitting together.

CLAWDEEN: What's going on here?

LAGOONA: What are you implying we are doing here?

DRACULAURA: Did we interrupt a date?

LAGOONA: Ghouls...please leave! You're kinda embarrassing me.

GIL: Lagoona was telling me she was entering the dating show.

LAGOONA: I am? Oh... I am! ...Gil is too, actually.

GIL: Great.

DRACULAURA: Great! So am I.

CLAWDEEN: You are?

DRACULAURA: Yeah.

CLAWDEEN: Funny, because Clawd is entering too. It would be weird if you two ended up together.

DRACULAURA: (awkwardly) Yeah.. haha!

Frankie walks over.

FRANKIE: You won't believe the day I had.

DRACULAURA: Are you entering the dating show?

FRANKIE: Yes.

Cleo and Deuce walk over.

CLEO: That's funny because we're entering the dating show.

CLAWDEEN: Why, you two are already dating?

DEUCE: Cleo wants to remain in the spotlight.

CLEO: And don't bother picking my manster, bitches... Because I will be picking Deuce.

### Scene 7

During the dating show...

CLAWDEEN: Hello, my name is Clawdeen Wolf and I will be your dating show host. Co-hosting with me is Ghoulia Yelps.

GHOULIA: (GROAN)

CLAWDEEN: Here are our female contestants...Frankie Stein.... Draculaura.... Cleo de Nile.... and Lagoona Blue.

Meanwhile, at the press conference...

RAMSES: The newspaper headlines are true... a student at Monster High died... and we suspect murder.

NEWSREPORTER #1: Should we be worried about a potential serial killer?

Ramses turns to Clawrk Wolf.

CLAWRK: We need to gather a profile of the killer first.

NEWSREPORTER #2: And have you?

CLAWRK: We're still investigating all possible leads.

NEWSREPORTER #3: Have you discovered anything about the killer?

CLAWRK: We suspect that the killer has stolen the victim's iCoffin.

DRACULA: And tomorrow we will be conducting a locker search at the school for this evidence.

Back at the dating show...

CLAWDEEN: Okay, Frankie... Who are you going to pick?

FRANKIE: Ummm... Number 3.

The person revealed as Frankie's date is Heath Burns.

FRANKIE: Oh no.

Backstage...

CLAWD: Are you ready for our date?

DRACULAURA: Yeah... I guess.

CLAWD: What's wrong?

DRACULAURA: I'm beginning to feel guilty for lying to Clawdeen about us.

CLAWD: I know, same. But, she won't understand. I already dated one of her best friends, and we all know how that's turning out. I just don't want things to repeat themselves. I mean...I felt bad when Clawdeen and Cleo ended their friendship.

Lagoona walks over to Gil.

LAGOONA: Hey!

GIL: Hi, Lagoona.

LAGOONA: Are you ready for our date... I mean we don't have to do anything, but I did win a date with you after all.

GIL: Oh yeah... I guess you did.

Gil gets up from his seat, and he and Lagoona walk out the school together, while Cleo watches over Clawd and Draculaura.

CLEO: Hmmm... Interesting!

DEUCE: What's interesting?

CLEO: Nothing.

Frankie and Heath walk over.

HEATH: Guess who you've got a date with, Frankie?

CLEO: Hmmm... I'm going to guess you?

HEATH: Ding-ding-ding.

FRANKIE: C'mon, Heath. Let's go out on our date.

HEATH: Hell... Yes.

Frankie and Heath exit the school.

FRANKIE: (thinking) I get that there are other choices, but...why Heath?

DEUCE: We should leave too.

CLEO: Meet me outside... I need to get something.

Deuce exits. Cleo walks over to Draculaura after Clawd walks away.

CLEO: I know this is more than just a sponsored date.

DRACULAURA: What?

CLEO: Don't play dumb.... I know you and Clawd are seeing each other...

Cleo hugs Draculaura.

CLEO: And now, you just made your deal with the devil.

Cleo walks away.

DRACULAURA: Not today, Satan.

### Final Scene

After school is over, Ghoulia is heading towards her locker, when suddenly she sees a person with their face covered up by a hoodie running.

GHOULIA: (GROAN?)

Out of curiosity, Ghoulia follows the person, who is heading towards a bunch of lockers. Ghoulia hides as the person pickpockets one of the lockers and places a phone in it. Ghoulia recognizes the locker and realizes it's Cleo's locker.

GHOULIA: (GROAN)

The person, who noticed Ghoulia's groan, immediately slams Cleo's locket and runs away. Ghoulia tries to follow the person, but the latter outruns her.

BLOODGOOD (V.O.): ***Dear Diary... Let me make it clear. When someone poses a threat to my school, you better believe I'm not going to let it slide. Whoever killed Invisi Billy and is destroying this school's reputation... They will pay.***
