WOMAN: I can't come over, Todd.
I'm babysitting.
Yeah, I finally got her to fall asleep.
Took forever, though.
I mean, I've never seen a kid
so scared of her own toys. (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHTER)
GIRL: It's not a nightmare, Monster Girl.
Just your life.
(LAUGHTER)
TEACHER: Miss Ferguson,
I know you skipped a grade in math,
and we're all very impressed.
That doesn't mean
you can sleep through my class.
I'm okay. I'm good. Really.
Then calculate the volume
of that object using the proper formula.

Twenty-six pi squared.
- I didn't say to take a wild guess.
- That's not a wild guess.
That's the answer. 26 pi squared.
Actually, it's 25.97789,
but I decided to round up.
OMG, you are so smart…

Monster Girl!
Raaaar!
KELLY: Tell me the truth.
Am I always gonna be known
as the Monster Girl?
Well, I mean, you did tell people
that a monster attacked you. So…
Yeah, when I was five.
You ate crayons when we were kids.
No one calls you Crayola Mouth.
That's because crayons are delicious.
Let's face it, monsters aren't real.
Oh, my God.
Even my best friend thinks I'm crazy.
Yeah. You are crazy.
That's why you're my best friend.
- (CRASH)
- BOY: Hey! Give me my wig back!
You know the rules, Jesper.
- There's no costumes allowed.
- Hah! Yeah? It's Halloween!
This is unconstitutional.
- Give... Everyone, listen up!
- (FEEDBACK SQUEALS)
All right?
Big time Halloween party at mine tonight!
Costumes are not only allowed,
they're mandatory!
- (CHEERING)
- Okay?
We should totally go to that party.
I don't know. Jesper is a senior.
We're only freshmen.
Kelly, it's Halloween.
The one night we can be anything we want.
Anything in the world.
What do you wanna be?

Oh, we are so going to that party.
Yes… we… are.
(SCOFFS)
MAN 1: Yeah, just set it up over here.
MAN 2: Oh, we don't need a map.
Right… It should just…
- (CRACKLES)
- Ow!
WOMAN: That's too high.
(CRACKLING)
Hey, honey! What you doin'?
Oh, just… makin' a Halloween costume.
Oh! Uh… For what?
(SIZZLING)
Um…
Uh... Halloween party at a friend's house.
And you were planning on going?
Uh, yeah, I am.
(GASPS)
(SIZZLING)
Oh, I...
I may have suggested
that you would…
Babysit for Ms. Zellman.
- Your boss?
- Mm-hm.
- The Ice Queen?
- Uh, yes, but don't... don't call her that.
No, thanks.
Well, my company Halloween party
is tonight,
and I overheard Ms. Zellman complaining
that she couldn't find a sitter,
so I thought...
Well, I thought you could…
So, you threw
my name out there to babysit?
Yes.
- Mom!
- Well…
- Dad! Mom sold me out to her boss!
- (SIGHS)
- DAD: Listen to your mother, Kelly.
- (KELLY SCOFFS)
- Thanks for havin' my back, Dad!
- DAD: No problem, sweetie.
You know, I can barely
keep my phone charged,
let alone take care of some kid.
Okay. Kelly, please.
(SIGHS) Now, if I cancel on Ms. Zellman,
she'll be furious.
(WHISPERS) This is the Ice Queen
we're talking about.
- But...
- Besides, it's only babysitting,
- and I think it will be…
- What...
- …really good for you. Plus…
- But...
…you'll make 15 dollars an hour.
You can totally do this, sweetie!
Hm?
Fine.
Thank you. Thank you!
You're gonna be great!
(SIGHS)
(BUZZING)
CLICK:
(LAUGHING) The Ice Queen?
(TINKLING)
I... I... I mean,
your costume is... it's literally...
Hi, Ms. Zellman.
Kelly. (SIGHS)
- This way.
- (JINGLING)
I printed up a list of no-no's.
Kelly!
(HEELS TAPPING)
"No ice cream, no gluten,
no caffeine, no dairy, no peanuts,
no more than 30 minutes of screen time"?
You have a stopwatch
on your cell phone, right?
- I… I...
- Because it's Halloween,
Jacob may have three pieces of candy.
- Oh! I've got some...
- No, no, no, no.
Raisins, dried apple chips,
or puffed rice cakes.
Also, no running, no shouting,
no discussing global tragedies
or current events.
- Got it.
- Emergency contact numbers.
Poison control, his doctor, his dentist.
And his sleep time checklist.
Learn it.
It takes three hours
just to put him to sleep?
If he goes to sleep at all.
(SIGHS)
Jacob?
Jacob…
This is your babysitter, Kelly.
(JINGLING)
Hi, Jacob.
Please don't go, Mommy.
- Halloween's scary.
- It'll be okay, honey. I promise.
Your muzzie-wuzzie loves you so much.
- This way, Kelly.
- (JINGLING)
(HEELS TAPPING)
Kelly!
(DOOR CLOSES)
I'll be home at midnight. Follow the list.
Lock the doors. And no trick-or-treaters.
None.
And keep Jacob safe.
Midnight. Sharp.
- (HEELS TAPPING QUICKLY)
- Okay, bye.
- (CLATTERING)
- (GASPS)
(RATTLING)
(CLATTERING CONTINUES)
(RUSTLING)
(RUSTLING CONTINUES)
Jacob?
What are you doing?
Hey! Spit that out!
(GASPS)
Don't put me to bed! I can't go to sleep.
- Why not?
- I have bad nightmares.
Sometimes, at night,
that comes out of my fish tank.
It feels like it's coming to get me,
but Mom says it's just a nightmare.
I actually know a lot about nightmares.
- You do?
- Yeah.
And I get it.
Sometimes, they feel real.
Like, really real.
But it's just your mind
playing tricks on you.
They can't hurt you.
Mine can. I can make monsters.
There's no such thing as monsters.
But there is…
Quackers the Duck!
♪ Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo! Doo-doo-doo! ♪
And his main man, Tedster.
- ♪ Doo-doo-doo-doo! ♪
- (CRIES)
Whoa!
- What happened to Tedster?
- I dreamt he was on fire.
And when I woke up, he was.
(TEDSTER, SLOWLY) I want to hug you.
- I don't like his hugs.
- (SIGHS)
If it makes you feel any better,
when I was a little kid,
I thought my bad dreams
could come true too.
What did you do?
I grew up.
Now I'm just scared of real-life stuff,
like climate change,
and inequality, and talking to boys,
and, like, everything I read on Twitter.
It's really scary.
I'm not helping, am I?
(SIGHS) All right. Fine.
How about… I check under your bed?
(SIGHS)
(GRUNTS)
- (SCREAMS)
- What is it?
Dirty socks!
(SIGHS)
Not cool.
Ah, classic.
Nothing in here either.
(CREAKING)
Okay, but don't turn off the lights!
I'm afraid of the dark.
You know what I do
when I get scared of the dark?
I make…
These.
These…
Are my own personal night-lights.
This one's especially fun. Look.
(JACOB GASPS)
Whoa.
KELLY: You can have this one.
JACOB: Thanks.
- CHILD 1: Thank you!
- CHILD 2: Come on!
- (LAUGHTER)
- (SCREECHING SOUND EFFECT)
CHILD 3: Trick or treat!
- Wait up!
- Thank you.
(SCREECHING SOUND EFFECT)
MAN: Hey, everyone, slow down.
- CHILD: Trick or treat!
- BOY: Yeah, I know!
- (DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)
- KELLY: All right, engage my FOMO.
How's the party?
BOY: It's amazing!
Wait. What's your costume?
I am the crown jewel of nutritious snacks.
- I'm "Broccoli."

You gotta get over here, Kelly.
Deanna is about to walk that plank.
Are you broccoli?
Uh… Yeah, that... that's me.
(LAUGHS) I love broccoli.
- (LAUGHS)
- GIRL: Do you wanna dance?
- Go get 'em, Tommy.
- TOMMY: All right. I... I'd love to.

None of that.
(MUFFLED GROANS) Mmm! Mmm!
- Come again?
- Mmm! Mmm!
Enunciate, darling. Try using your words.
(WHIMPERS)
- I kid. I kid!
- Mmmph!
(CONTINUES WHIMPERING)
Just a tentacle? Not attached to anything.
Now that's an outside the box nightmare,
even for me.

You and I are about to unleash
your nightmares on the world.

KELLY: Nine-one-one?
Hi. These... these things just took
the kid I was babysitting.
I'm pretty sure they're monsters.
Yes, I am aware it's Halloween night,
but this… this is not a joke.
This is serious. These were proper
creatures of the night, they... they...
Hello? Hello?
Who are you?
Liz Lerue. Babysitter.
We got a nightmare ping come from here.
- Who are you?
- I'm the babysitter.
I'll be the judge of that.
(SIGHS) Where's your charge?
- (BABY COOS)
- My…
The kid. Your child.
The human being you're
supposed to be responsible for?
- I don't know!
- (BABY GURGLES)
These things came out
from under the bed.
They took him.
Look, I tried calling the police,
but they thought it was a prank.
- Hey! You can't go in there!
- What'd these things look like?
Um, they were small and fat,
with crazy teeth and weird hair.
- How many?
- Um… three.
- (GRUNTS) God!
- Height? Weight? Speech patterns?
What were they wearing?
Did they have eyes?
Um, they were two to three feet high.
Uh, claws.
They had weird mouths
and two eyes, lopsided.
This way!
They looked like this!
Toadies.
What's a "Toadie"?
Also, whose baby is that?
Is it yours? I'm not judging if it is.
This is Carmella.
- Carmella, say hi. Don't be shy.
- (GURGLES)
I'm babysitting her because
that's what actual babysitters do.
We watch and protect our kids.
Now, stand over there
and play the quiet game.
(WHIRRING)
KELLY: Ow!
"The time of nightmares has begun"?
Which way'd they go?
(WHIRRING)
Twelve degrees north-east.
LIZ: You're like a calculator.
What time are the parents home?
KELLY: Midnight. His mom is very intense.
She would never be late.
LIZ: Okay. Stay here,
chew your hair, find out what you'd
look like with dog ears, I don't care.
But if the mom calls,
you act like everything's cool.
- Got it?
- (CARMELLA BABBLES)
Good.
(FOOTSTEPS GETTING FAINTER)
(PANTING)
Excuse you! I'm coming with you.
No. You will just get in my way.
Or you'll get possessed,
hypnotized, cursed, boiled,
or turned into
a three-headed dog of darkness.
For real?
Wait, did you even see this?
- (WHIRRING)
- KELLY: These burn marks.
They come from out of Jacob's window,
run down here, and then they just vanish.
And those tracks.
They don't match the claws
that those trollies had...
LIZ: Toadies.
Toadies had.
And they have an entirely
different pattern and diameter,
which means
a completely different thing was here.
- (CLOSES ZIP)
- (SIGHS)
Okay, CSI: Rhode Island.
- Your funeral.
- Ow.
- Jump on. The clock's ticking.
- (STARTS ENGINE)
- (WHIMPERS)

- We've got Toadies on our hands.
Bring me up on the tracker.
Are you talking to me?
Pull up a map of their main tunnels.
- "Tunnels"?
- Will you knock it off?
No! Not you, just some girl.

LIZ: Anything on the monster tracker?

- KELLY: GPR?
- LIZ: Ground-penetrating radar.
Toadies have a network
of tunnels under the city.
Sometimes our monster GPR
picks up their movements.
(CHATTERING AND SQUEAKING)
- KELLY: We're not going in the tunnels.
- LIZ: Nope.
- (CLANG)
- LIZ: We are fishing for Toadies.
KELLY: Ball pits. So gross.
Like, gross to the third power.
LIZ: Math jokes, huh? Funny.
Anyway, look for a hidden tunnel.
Should be around here somewhere.
- KELLY: How do you know all this stuff?
- LIZ: Check the bag.
(BLEEP)
"Babysitter's Guide to Monster Hunting"?
LIZ: It's a collection
of thousands of years' worth
of monster hunting wisdom
passed down through the ages.
Memorize the guide, stay alive.
So I'm not crazy.
LIZ: Found it.
- I mean, can you believe this?
- (BABBLING)
Uh, the Toadies dug their tunnel
right at the end of the slide,
so when a kid comes shooting down…
Whoosh! Right into their trap.
- (CARMELLA COOING)
- KELLY: This is insane.
What should I do?
- Maybe take off her jacket?
- Okay.
- (CLINK)
- (WHOOSH)

- (CHUCKLES)
- KELLY: Why do you need baby powder?
- (SIGHS)
- LIZ: Read the guide.
- (COOING)
LIZ: All right, come on.
"Beware.
Toadies love the smell of newborns.
They cannot resist a taste."
One of 'em pops out looking for a snack,
boom, got 'em.
You're using the baby as bait? No!
Listen, this is the only thing
that will get them up to the surface.

It's Jacob's mom!
Ms. Zellman?
Hi. How's the monster?
What?
Oh! You mean...
No. Yeah. Um... Everything's fine.
Jacob and I are having so much fun.
- (TOADIE GURGLING)
- What's that noise?
Uh… It's… it's a movie.
That sounds like a scary movie.
Check the list, Kelly. No scary movies.
No, no, no, no, no!
It's... it's a fun movie.
- It's about unicorns and rainbows and…

We're all good here.
Let me speak to Jacob. Now!
Um, no, he's sleeping.
You said you were watching a movie.
- (CHITTERING)
- LIZ: Oh, no you're not! No!
No, he just...
He just fell asleep like that.
He did?
(LAUGHS) Oh. That's a first.
Tonight is a night of firsts.

So, how are we gonna get him back now?
That's why
this little creep's comin' with us.

- You're not going anywhere.
Huh? Impressive, isn't it?
I suppose you want
to know how it all works.
(CHUCKLES)
I've slowly, but surely,
accumulated 51 rare gases
and mixed them
with the perfect specificity.
Why, you ask?
To fill these beautiful tanks
with enough power
to manifest my army of nightmares
into actual life!
Aah! Terrors alive like never seen before.
- (WIND WHISTLING)
- Aah!
All I needed was just
one more little tiny ingredient,
a pathetic
yet highly imaginative little twerp,
personified in this case by… well…
You, get it?
(WHIMPERS)
You, my dear boy,
will conjure an army
of infinite nightmares.
You and I are about to ruin the world.

I hope she wasn't too freaked out.

How much did her parents pay
for you to look after Carmella?
Two hundo. Cash.
Is that the going rate these days

It was a good plan.
Ninety-nine percent of the time,
that should've worked.

GIRL: All right. Let's take a look
in this Toadie's pouch.
What the heck? Is that half a duck?
KELLY: It's a goose lamp.
- How big are their pouches?
- Who's the human?
This is Kelly.
GIRL: And why exactly is she here?
She was with the kid when he got taken.
- We need to pick her brain.
- But...
Just search the thing for clues.
Rude. It's not a "thing."
It's a Monstria Chordata Amphibia
Carnivora of the Toadie subspecies.
- (SIGHS) Remove her.
- Cassie, this isn't your call.
You're just a Sitter in Training.
I mean, see this? And this?
And this?
Chapter Vice President. Okay?
It's gonna take me hours
to remove the items from its pouch.
Better get to it, then.
- I'm so sorry. So sorry.
- LIZ: Follow me.
Hey. So, this Jacob kid
really has the Gift of Dreams?
I...
I just told her what Jacob told me.
I don't even really know
what the Gift of Dreams is.
It's... it's legendary.
A young kid who is supposed
to be able to bring dreams to life.
Or nightmares.
The Order was founded
to protect kids like that.
I could tell you a bit more
over a cup of coffee, maybe?
Pump the brakes, Casanova.
Can you make
one of your memory potions?
Uh… Yeah. I, uh…
I have a passion for potions.
- KELLY: What is that?
- It's Minotaur Memory Dust.
Three parts beetle root,
one part gnome guano.
Yet, I have not tested this batch out yet,
so I hope I don't fry her brain.
Fry my brain…
Now, tell us every single detail
you remember when Jacob was taken.

CASSIE: Why did it stop
on the Grand Guignol?
BOY: He's the Stealer of Dreams,
the Bringer of Nightmares.
Legend has it
he's collecting bad dreams from kids
to build a nightmare army.
That's him.
LIZ: What do you mean?
That's the monster who tried
to take me when I was a little girl!
No. No way.
Liz, those prints I found.
They were tail marks, just like this.
I think he's what took Jacob.
This can't be happening. Not again.
- A-Are you okay?
- Well, you see, her...
BERNA:
It's not our story to tell, Curtis.
"The Grand Guignol travels
in the Nightmare Realm.
The Boogeypeople are almost impossible
to locate when they are in there."
Boogeypeople?
Seven, actually.
They're like a monster mafia.
My whole life, my whole life
I was told this wasn't real.
That it didn't happen. But now…
- But now…
- This is why we don't let normies in here.
Each of us
has been through a monster attack.
This is from a Class Two Oozer.
CURTIS: Yeah, I've got one of those, too.
Fire-spitting Grunk.
- CURTIS: I was impaled by a Brush troll.
- BERNA: This is from a vampire rabbit.
- CASSIE: Krampus.
- BERNA: Thunderbird.
- CURTIS: Baba Yaga.
- CASSIE: Bunnicula. Paper cut.
- CURTIS: I got this from a Cloud Serpent.
- No one wants to see that, Curtis.
That's why we're here.
To make sure what happened to us
never happens to another kid.
- (STRAIGHTENS JACKET)
- (SIGHS)
So how do we take down the Grand Guignol?
We don't.
Well, there is a way.
It's a combination between…
Angel Fire and Monster Punch.
Yet the ingredients are crazy combustible.
We're talking, uh, uh…
cobalt from Athena's tomb,
um… Chupacabra venom...
- None of which we have.
- Don't worry.
- I have my sources.
- KELLY: And the Monster Punch?
That's the only way
to drive the Angel Fire
into the Boogeyman's heart.
It's crazy hard to execute,
even if you could get near him.
It's never been done.
There's a solution to every problem.
LIZ: All right.
Let's put that to the test.
Curtis, gather the essentials.
Yes! Time to geek out. Follow me!
Come on!
(BLEEPING)

It's a net made

This is the Mist of Hypnos.
One spray can knock

One more thing.
The Cairo chapter found this
in a tomb in Egypt.
We haven't figured out all it can do,
but we know it can break any hex or spell.
Here, take it. It might come in handy.

you can feed the Toadie.

I was six, Kevin was five.
It was midnight.
There was a scratch at the window.
I thought it was
a tree branch or the wind.
I jumped out of bed,
drew back the curtains…
And that's when I saw him.
He sang us a song,
and I fell under a spell.
When I came to, Kevin was gone.
I never saw my brother again.
I've been looking for him my whole life.
I mean, that's the reason
I became a babysitter.

Hi. These... these things just took
the kid I was babysitting.
I'm pretty sure they're monsters.
Yes, I am aware it's Halloween night,
but this… this is not a joke.
This is serious. These were proper
creatures of the night, they... they...
Hello? Hello?
Who are you?
Liz Lerue. Babysitter.
We got a nightmare ping come from here.
- Who are you?
- I'm the babysitter.
I'll be the judge of that.
(SIGHS) Where's your charge?
- (BABY COOS)
- My…
The kid. Your child.
The human being you're
supposed to be responsible for?
- I don't know!
- (BABY GURGLES)
These things came out
from under the bed.
They took him.
Look, I tried calling the police,
but they thought it was a prank.
- Hey! You can't go in there!
- What'd these things look like?
Um, they were small and fat,
with crazy teeth and weird hair.
- How many?
- Um… three.
- (GRUNTS) God!
- Height? Weight? Speech patterns?
What were they wearing?
Did they have eyes?
Um, they were two to three feet high.
Uh, claws.
They had weird mouths
and two eyes, lopsided.
This way!
They looked like this!
Toadies.
What's a "Toadie"?
Also, whose baby is that?
Is it yours? I'm not judging if it is.
This is Carmella.
- Carmella, say hi. Don't be shy.
- (GURGLES)
I'm babysitting her because
that's what actual babysitters do.
We watch and protect our kids.
Now, stand over there

KELLY: Midnight. His mom is very intense.
She would never be late.
LIZ: Okay. Stay here,

you act like everything's cool.

For real?
Wait, did you even see this?
- (WHIRRING)
- KELLY: These burn marks.
They come from out of Jacob's window,
run down here, and then they just vanish.
And those tracks.
They don't match the claws
that those trollies had...
LIZ: Toadies.
Toadies had.
And they have an entirely
different pattern and diameter,
which means
a completely different thing was here.

We're part of a super secret organization
with chapters all around the world.
The Greek goddess, Artemis,
Cleopatra, Merlin,
Rosa Parks, all babysitters.
KELLY: Whoa.
Archimedes, Frida Kahlo,
Florence Nightingale,
Maria Tallchief, Noor Inayat Khan.
LIZ: Yeah. We've been around
for thousands of years.
Tell anyone about our location,
and I'll feed you
to our resident hobgoblin.
Listen up, SITs.
Our mission is Jacob Zellman.
Five years old,
possibly with the Gift of Dreams.
We have three hours and five minutes
until his mom gets back
and finds
her little bundle of joy missing.
(WHIRRING)
Nothing new from the surveillance cameras.
Hey, Berna, will you start the laser scan?
- On it.
- (BLEEP)

GIRL: All right. Let's take a look
in this Toadie's pouch.
What the heck? Is that half a duck?
KELLY: It's a goose lamp.
- How big are their pouches?
- Who's the human?
This is Kelly.
GIRL: And why exactly is she here?
She was with the kid when he got taken.
- We need to pick her brain.
- But...
Just search the thing for clues.
Rude. It's not a "thing."
It's a Monstria Chordata Amphibia
Carnivora of the Toadie subspecies.
- (SIGHS) Remove her.
- Cassie, this isn't your call.
You're just a Sitter in Training.
I mean, see this? And this?
And this?
Chapter Vice President. Okay?
It's gonna take me hours
to remove the items from its pouch.
Better get to it, then.
- I'm so sorry. So sorry.
- LIZ: Follow me.
Hey. So, this Jacob kid
really has the Gift of Dreams?
I...
I just told her what Jacob told me.
I don't even really know
what the Gift of Dreams is.
It's... it's legendary.
A young kid who is supposed
to be able to bring dreams to life.
Or nightmares.
The Order was founded
to protect kids like that.
I could tell you a bit more
over a cup of coffee, maybe?
Pump the brakes, Casanova.
Can you make
one of your memory potions?
Uh… Yeah. I, uh…
I have a passion for potions.
- KELLY: What is that?
- It's Minotaur Memory Dust.
Three parts beetle root,
one part gnome guano.
Yet, I have not tested this batch out yet,
so I hope I don't fry her brain.

the Bringer of Nightmares.
Legend has it
he's collecting bad dreams from kids
to build a nightmare army.
That's him.
LIZ: What do you mean?
That's the monster who tried
to take me when I was a little girl!
No. No way.
Liz, those prints I found.
They were tail marks, just like this.
I think he's what took Jacob.
This can't be happening. Not again.
- A-Are you okay?
- Well, you see, her...
BERNA:
It's not our story to tell, Curtis.
"The Grand Guignol travels
in the Nightmare Realm.
The Boogeypeople are almost impossible
to locate when they are in there."
Boogeypeople?
Seven, actually.
They're like a monster mafia.
My whole life, my whole life
I was told this wasn't real.
That it didn't happen. But now…
- But now…
- This is why we don't let normies in here.
Each of us
has been through a monster attack.
This is from a Class Two Oozer.
CURTIS: Yeah, I've got one of those, too.
Fire-spitting Grunk.
- CURTIS: I was impaled by a Brush troll.
- BERNA: This is from a vampire rabbit.
- CASSIE: Krampus.
- BERNA: Thunderbird.
- CURTIS: Baba Yaga.
- CASSIE: Bunnicula. Paper cut.
- CURTIS: I got this from a Cloud Serpent.
- No one wants to see that, Curtis.
That's why we're here.
To make sure what happened to us
never happens to another kid.
- (STRAIGHTENS JACKET)
- (SIGHS)
So how do we take down the Grand Guignol?
We don't.
Well, there is a way.
It's a combination between…
Angel Fire and Monster Punch.
Yet the ingredients are crazy combustible.
We're talking, uh, uh…
cobalt from Athena's tomb,
um… Chupacabra venom...
- None of which we have.
- Don't worry.
- I have my sources.
- KELLY: And the Monster Punch?
That's the only way
to drive the Angel Fire
into the Boogeyman's heart.
It's crazy hard to execute,
even if you could get near him.
It's never been done.
There's a solution to every problem.
LIZ: All right.
Let's put that to the test.
Curtis, gather the essentials.
Yes! Time to geek out. Follow me!
Come on!
(BLEEPING)
(WHIRRING)
- CURTIS: Check this out.

No, it's not actually a jump rope.
It's a net made
from powerful Stiltskin Thread.
Pull the handle and… pshoom! (CHUCKLES)
(BELL DINGS)
This is the Mist of Hypnos.
One spray can knock
a lesser monster out cold.
CASSIE: Stop trying to impress her.
I am not!

Is the Booyah Bear.
Yank the ear and throw. Go ahead.
Check it out.

- (CURTIS SIGHS)
Let's go.
- Back to work, SITs.
- Wait, Kelly.
One more thing.
The Cairo chapter found this
in a tomb in Egypt.
We haven't figured out all it can do,
but we know it can break any hex or spell.
Here, take it. It might come in handy.
- LIZ: Kelly?
- Thanks.
If you're insisting on coming,
you can feed the Toadie.
- Wait, wait, wait. I don't know how to...
- LIZ: Open it.
(SNARLING)
Hm. (BELCHES LOUDLY)

KELLY: It's getting away!
- No, it's not.

Did you put a tracker in the trash?
Sure did. And now he'll scramble
back to the Grand Guignol.
Finally, we can locate a Boogeyman.

to know about this Cat Lady?
LIZ: She's an ex silent movie star
turned class five witch.
Last year, she and the Grand Guignol
teamed up
and almost destroyed
the whole babysitter chapter in Nepal.
And she once fed
an entire Girl Scout troop to her cats.
Here's the thing.
I… I'm kind of allergic to cats.
KELLY: You're what?
LIZ: It's fine. It's the only way
we're gonna get back Kevin.
KELLY: You mean Jacob. Who's Kevin?
- Never mind.
- Liz.
(CAT YOWLS)
Tell me.
He's my brother.
The Grand Guignol took your brother?
I was six, Kevin was five.
It was midnight.
There was a scratch at the window.
I thought it was
a tree branch or the wind.
I jumped out of bed,
drew back the curtains…
And that's when I saw him.
He sang us a song,
and I fell under a spell.
When I came to, Kevin was gone.
I never saw my brother again.
I've been looking for him my whole life.
I mean, that's the reason
I became a babysitter.
Liz, I…
- I'm so sorry.
- Well, don't be.
- It... it wasn't your fault.
- No one believes that.
Not even me.

what happened tonight, right?
