## Episode chronology

"**Spooky Month 3 - Unwanted Guest**" is the third episode of the *Spooky Month* series. In this episode, Lila hires an exterminator to deal with what she believes is a simple rat infestation, but it turns out to be something far worse. Meanwhile, Skid and Pump once again celebrate spooky month, but are blissfully unaware that it's June.

## Plot

The episode opens with Lila, who hears a loud thumping echoing throughout her house. The sounds disrupts her while she is cooking, channel surfing, and working on her laptop. The source of the noise is revealed to be Moloch pounding on the attic floor, who is still trapped inside of the Ouija board from the first episode. Lila becomes fed up when the noises interrupt her sleep, and she decides to call an exterminator to deal with the problem, believing a rat is to blame. Skid sees his mother on the phone and asks what she's doing. When Lila tells her son about their apparent rat problem, Skid reveals that rat is actually his friend, Moloch. Lila is appalled that her son had both befriended the rat and given it a name, but maintains her cool and tells Skid to go play with his friend, Pump.

After exiting his house, Skid lets out an animal-like screech, which alerts Pump, who crawls out of the ground like a zombie. Pump tells Skid that they should go to the mall, and on their way, they encounter Frank, who offers them a ride in his van. After entering the vehicle, the two kids notice a sack that appears to have something inside of it. When Pump asks Frank about the sack, he nervously answers that he's "playing doctor." Suddenly, the sack begins to move around sporadically, suggesting that there is a person inside of it. Skid points this out to Frank, and he gives him "medicine" to pour on the sack, which makes it stop moving. Pump then tries to drink some of the medicine himself, but is disappointed when there's none left, much to Frank's concern.

Back at Skid and Lila's house, the exterminator, Dexter, arrives and introduces himself to Lila. He appears to be an overly eccentric individual, and Lila is unnerved when Dexter reveals he even kills cats, although he assures her that he loves them and will even "hug them until their brains are out." With her nerves settled, Lila welcomes Dexter into her house and asks him what kind of cats he likes, but Dexter tells her that he prefers dogs.

Back with Skid and Pump, the two can be seen thanking Frank as he drives away after dropping them off at the mall. The two then run inside and find a Happy Fella in the toy aisle, which they decide to buy. Despite this, Rick tells the kids that they're not old enough to buy something from the mall, but Skid insists that they are, and Pump says that they even have enough money. Rick then asks the boys if they're aware that it is June, to which they snicker at each other at the fact that Rick is unaware that it's spooky month.

After exiting the mall with their Happy Fella, Skid and Pump run into a shadowy figure who claims to be a "candy dealer." The dealer asks if they could help him, and they accept without any hesitation, as they happen to like "candy." The dealer is surprised at how easy it was to convince the kids, before handing them a lump of "sugar" (that strongly resembles a cocaine package) and telling them to deliver it to the CandyClub. Skid and Pump then decide to visit the hospital, and appear to drop dead on the street, much to the dealer's confusion. Suddenly, a frantic-sounding voice from off screen accuses the dealer of murdering Skid and Pump, and he quickly takes his leave.

Back at Skid and Lila's house, Dexter can be seen setting up a cheap-looking trap for the rat, whom he apparently plans on taking home with him to "satisfy his needs." Dexter then turns around and screams in horror when he comes face-to-face with Moloch. Downstairs, Lila can be seen reading a book and doesn't at all appear concerned by Dexter's yells, assuming that he caught the rat.

Back with Skid and Pump, the two are seen waking up in a hospital bed between two other patients, one of whom is Ooga Booga in a full body cast, still resting off her injuries from the previous episode. Skid and Pump then get up from their bed and end up inside the hospital's morgue, where they meet a forensic pathologist named Patty. Patty tells the two that they can't be here, before asking them if they know what room they're in. Skid and Pump misinterpret her question, and tell her that it's spooky month, and attempt to teach her the spooky dance. Right as Patty is about to tell the two that they're in a morgue, a group of corpses inexplicably reanimate, and proceed to do both the Thriller dance and the spooky dance. An annoyed Patty then tells the corpses that it's June, which reverts them back to inanimateness.

Outside the hospital, Skid and Pump exit through the back doors of an ambulance. Skid suggests they go to the CandyClub, before the two run into the Hatzgang. Roy asks them what they're doing, when he suddenly notices that Robert and Ross are shivering. When he questions them about this, they remind him of the "big monster" that they encountered last year, much to Roy's terror upon realizing this wasn't a dream. Skid and Pump then obliviously ask if the three want to meet him again, before Roy angrily tells them to shut up, and explains how their actions got him in trouble last year. After Ross unsuccessfully attempts to calm Roy down, Roy tells Skid and Pump that he'll find out what happened that day, and that it's not even October, though they are indifferent to his threat. Roy then notices the boys' Happy Fella, and while Robert enthusiastically talks about how his sister owns one, Roy mischievously gets an idea.

Back at Skid and Lila's house, Lila is seen checking her watch, and wonders why Dexter is taking so long to leave the attic. She then goes to investigate herself, and screams in terror when she comes face to face with Moloch, who has taken over Dexter's body. As Moloch begins to chase Lila around the house, she manages to find a steel square, and attacks him with it. However, this only makes Moloch angrier, and his appearance then shifts into something more threatening.

Meanwhile, at the CandyClub, Kevin can be seen humming as he waits for Skid and Pump to arrive. When the two boys enter the store, Pump is seen wearing the clothing of their Happy Fella, while Skid has been forced inside of the box their Happy Fella was packaged in, most likely as a result of Roy. The two then dizzily ask for candy cans, but Kevin tells them that they only give them out on Halloween, much to their disappointment. Feeling bad for the two, Kevin gives them both free candy bars, and tells them that they owe him. The two thank Kevin, before Pump suddenly remembers the "sugar" they were supposed to deliver, and plops it onto the front desk. A worried Kevin questions Skid and Pump about what they gave him and who they got it from, but the two boys leave to go watch TV at Skid's house. Kevin panics as he tries to think about what to do with the package, when Jack and John enter the store. John consoles Jack about accidentally shooting someone, and Kevin makes a sarcastic remark about a cop shooting someone, which garners dirty glares from both men. John then questions Kevin about the package on his desk, and Kevin frantically explains that it's sugar for the new candies. John decides to sample from the package to see if Kevin is telling the truth, as Kevin is now certain that he's going to prison. However, to the surprise of everyone, it turns out that the package really does contain sugar, and Kevin tells the two cops that they can have the new candy for free. Jack and John then head out as Kevin is relieved he gets to live another day. Suddenly, Kevin is held at gunpoint by two criminals demanding his sugar package, and he hands it over without any hesitation. After they leave, Kevin remarks that he hates his job.

Back at Skid and Lila's house, Moloch has captured Lila and threatens to rip her apart while she's still alive. Skid and Pump then enter the house, and Moloch shifts his attention towards them, releasing Lila. Moloch tells the kids about how much he's suffered because of them, being confined to the attic for two years and being forced to eat nothing but rats and spiders. As Moloch threatens to burn them and feast on their flesh, Lila tells the kids to run. However, Skid is unconvinced that the figure in front of them is actually Moloch, citing his appearance as being "lame and yellow" whereas the Moloch he knows is "red and cool." To prove that it's Moloch, Pump asks him to turn his head 180 degrees, which is something that only a demon could do. Moloch complies, but ends up snapping the neck of his host, causing both of them to die. As Dexter's lifeless body falls to the ground, Skid reaffirms that it isn't Moloch, much to Pump's disappointment. Skid then asks his mother if they could all watch something together, and she wearily says they can.

Later, Skid and Pump can be seen eating candy bars while watching TV with Lila resting on the couch behind them. Skid then asks his mom if it really is spooky month, and Lila checks her phone, with the date reading "June 17, 2012." Rather than tell her son the truth and risk disappointing him, Lila says that it's the "spooky twin month." Skid and Pump are both relieved to hear this, and one of the people on the show they're watching begins to do the spooky dance, confusing his co-star greatly. Afterward, the credits roll, alongside fan art showcasing the characters featured in the episode.
