Innocence.

Justice.

Passion. For crumb cake.

[gasps] Ah, corn!

Ah, there we go.

[clears throat]

This is the story of a crime
so devastating,

so jaw-dropping and so twisted,

it shook the McGee family to
its core: The Crumb Cake Caper.

[thunder crashes]



It was the most
romantic day of the year.

Happy anniversary, Dad!

Dad goes all out every year.

Dinner, decorations.

[horn sound]

Even bakes Mom his famous
passionfruit crumb cake--

heavy on the passion.

Just like their first date!

[gasps]

[Dad screams]

Come on!

[all gasp]

Why?!

[all sigh]

Geez, Pete! We thought
you were, you know...

-Bleh.
-It's worse!

Someone ate
my passionfruit crumb cake!

[all gasp]

What kind of inhuman monster
would do such a thing?

-[munching]
-Hmm?

-[gasps] You!
-Whoa! Whoa, me?

I mean, come on, does this
sound like the thing I would do?

Mm. Good game, huh?

A little privacy please?

[gasps]

Okay, fine,
but this wasn't me--

I--I was outside
when it happened!

Oh! Like you can't poof
whenever you want,

wherever you want!

Your story is as flimsy
as your ectoplasm.

Sharon? Darryl? Back me up here.

You should just come clean now.

Stick to your story
and don't let 'em break you.

I didn't do it!

Molly, you believe me, right?

Well, I mean, you do
steal a lot of food.

But you are my best friend.

Yeah! Yeah, and best friends
stand by each other.

You taught me that!

Scratch, look in my eyes.

Do you Molly McGee
Guarantee you didn't do it?

I 100% Molly McGee Guarantee it.

[grunts]

[silly noises]

The Molly McGee Guarantee is an
unbreakable bond of trust.

It's like a pinkie promise
dipped in a blood oath

wrapped in
the American Constitution.

Plus, it's super fun!

I believe you, which is why...

I've assembled you
all here today

for the trial of the century!

Uh, Molly, what's going on here?

Justice is what-- Whoa! Oof!

Justice is...

Justice is what's going on!

I'm going to prove beyond
a reasonable doubt

-that Scratch is innocent!
-[nervous chuckle]

And what's more,
I'm going to expose

the real crumb cake crook!

The true passionfruit pastry
pilferer, the, uh, uh...

Sweet treat swindler?

Funny you should say that

because Scratch wasn't
the only one with a motive.

Was he, Mother?

This is ridiculous.

That cake was for me.

I was organizing the basement.

Mm. Convenient.

But do you or do you not
secretly hate

Dad's passionfruit crumb cake?

Objection! Sharon
loves my crumb cake!

It was love at first bite!

Ah, yes, your first date
with Dad.

Look at that smile!

The glassy eyes,
the subtle grimace.

That smile is fake!

What? No, it's not.

It's clear as day, Mom!

You love Dad,
but you hate his cake!

Forced to eat it year after
year after--

Okay, fine!
I do hate that cake!

The taste! The texture!

And worst of all, the way
it pretends to be chocolate,

but it's just a lie!

It felt real good
to say that out loud.

Someone needs to
fight back against carob.

It is not chocolate!

Sorry, Pete.
I don't love your cake,

but I do love you!

[crying] It's fine.

I'm not questioning
if our whole marriage

is based on a lie or anything...

So it was you, Mother.

You pretended to organize
the basement, when really...

You snuck up to the kitchen

and disposed of the cake to
save your tastebuds!

Okay, you caught me!

I did think about
throwing it away!

[evil laugh]

Just throw it out, Sharon,

no one will know.

But Pete'll be crushed...

But
it tastes so so bad...

But he made it with love.

But he also made it with carob.

I put the cake back.

It was right there
for all to see!

Or it would have been,
if it weren't for

those dirty handprints
all over the dome...

[gasps] Wait a minute!

We have new evidence
in the case!

Ugh! There's only one
criminal in this family

with hands that dirty!

You're right, Scratch.
I call to the stand...

Darryl!

I want my lawyer.

My client has
no comment at this time.

You've got nothing.

My alibi is air tight.

I was up in my room,
doing homework all day!

Really? That's the alibi
you wanna go with?
Homework?

I submit you were actually
doing... theftwork!

[both gasp]

[phone rings]

Hello? I won a free cruise
from a contest I didn't enter?!

Wow. Let me get my checkbook.

[horn sound]

[Molly] You were in deep
with the Lunch Money Bandits!

The only way out
was to bribe them with cake!

-[screams]
-You slipped up.

This is enough to put you
away for eight to ten...

-weeks of grounding.
-Oh ho! We got him!

Ah, but that's where
you're wrong.

I touched the cake dome, sure.
But I never touched the cake.

I just needed the dome
to catch Heidi Hairylegs.

You know, my pet tarantula?

I was gonna ask Dad to help,
but he seemed busy.

[whimpers] W-when did
you get a pet tarantula?

Also, you caught it, right?

Uh, yes. Yes.

Whew, that's a load off.

So... if it wasn't you...

there's only one
possibility left.

Yeah. Scratch!

No! You! I call
Dad to the stand!

What! Can you even call the
prosecution to the stand?

Also, is it hot in here?
I'm sweating!

I'm sweating!

Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad...

Here we were, thinking you were
so distraught over the missing
cake.

But it was all a lie!

Thanks to Darryl's testimony,

I found evidence that'll
blow this case wide open!

-You burned the cake!
-[cries]

And since the cake symbolizes
your love for Mom,

you couldn't
bear for her to see it!

So you got rid of the evidence

-and created a cover story!
- [screams]

It was an accident!

How dare you frame Scratch!

Admit what you did! Admit it!

Wow. I really need to take
Molly scaring with me.

I mean, she is
flat out terrifying!

You just wind her up
and watch her go, man. Whew!

It's - no, no, no, no, no, no.

It is not what it looks like.

My old recipe
got lost in the move.

[whistles]

So I tried a new recipe

which was from
a British website,

so I had to convert everything
from the metric system.

Fine. Okay. Totally.
I put the cake in the oven

and it turns out, I do
not understand Celsius.

[screams]

Aha! Case closed!

So what's the punishment?

I say we go cruel and unusual!

You are hereby sentenced to
hand-washing Darryl's gym socks!

Oh!

-Ahh!
-Eh, that's fair.

I'm not done!
Yes, I burned the cake!

But I also messed up
those metric conversions,

so I had a whole lot of
extra batter!

Which I used to make
a new cake!

Which you ate!

Objection!

[stomach grumbles]

Speaking of eating,
when's dinner?

No one eats till
Scratch's name has been cleared!

But I'm starving!
Ooh, crumbs!

[all gasp]

Molly, will you please
state for the record

what is dripping
off Exhibit B, the cake plate.

Ectoplasm.

And who is the sole member
of this household

who produces ectoplasm,

and is therefore the only one

who could've
committed this crime?

Scratch.

You gave
the Molly McGee Guarantee.

Molly, I have no idea
how that got there!

You--you have to believe me!

[Dad] Now what did you suggest
as punishment, Scratch?

-Ah, that's right:
-No, no, no. Don't say it!

[Dad]
hand-washing Darryl's gym socks!

-Ugh!
-Again, fair.

This is your last chance.

Admit that you ate the cake

and I'll drop
the entire punishment.

I'll never confess
to a crime I didn't commit!

Molly? You still
believe me, right?

[gasps] Fine.

[retches]

"Extra carob"? Ugh, this
recipe's worse than the old one!

[gasps]

Carob? Wait!

-I can prove
my client is innocent!
-[gasps]

Observe...

-[gags]
-[all] Whoa!

[car alarm sounds]

Scratch couldn't have
eaten the cake!

He has a carob intolerance!

I shared that in confidence.

Sorry, Scratch, it was the
only way to clear your name!

We're sorry, too.

Guess you were
innocent the whole time.

Thanks for sticking by me, Moll.

I got your back
like you've got mine.

I Molly McGee Guarantee it.

Aw, Scratch!
Come here, buddy.

-Oh!
-All right, okay.
Five-second rule.

You know, the only thing
that's bothering me

is who did eat the cake?

I don't know, Scratch.

I guess we'll never know...

[slurping]

Yeah, we'll never know.

Huh. Add it to the list.

Oh, hey, by the way, thanks for
the birthday cake, guys.

I loved it. Yeah,
just a couple things:

It wasn't my birthday.

Also you spelled my name
"S-h-a-r-o-n."

But it's actually Geoff: G-E-

We know your name, Geoff!

♪ The Ghost and Molly McGee ♪

What?! Oh, no.
Oh, no no no no no.

Sharon, it's fine. We can
get through this.

Pete, I love you,
but I just don't know

if we're strong enough!

Uh, Mom? Dad?
Is everything okay?

Kids... the twins are coming!

[gasps] Uncle Billy
and Aunt Jilly?!

Oh, we haven't
seen them in forever!

Is that bad...?

Obviously! Houseguests?
Uh, no thanks!

Those two have
tormented your father

ever since they were little!

Oh, do you just... keep that?

And every single time
they visit,

he goes right back to being
that scared

unconfident kid
he was in Boston.

Pfft! Honey.
That's not going to happen!

I'm a grown man!
They can't bully me anymore.

-[doorbell rings]
-[cringes]

[both] Silly McGee!

Billy! Jilly! Welcome!

Hey, Billy. You hungry?

Oh, I'm stah-ving, Jilly.

I got a real hankering for--

[both] A silly sandwich!

[both laugh]

-Oh, with a side of...
silly fries!
-Ahh!

[grunts]

See? Houseguests.
Terrible idea.

Oh, these two cuties!
Springing up like weeds!

I haven't seen you
kids in a while,

what with your old man moving
around so much.

It's like he can't hold down
a job or something.

[laughs]

Ha. Good one.
Yes, we moved around a lot.

[grunts] But hey! We found our
place to call home in beautiful
Brighton.

Why don't I show you
to the spacious

and tastefully
decorated guest room?

-Ahh!
-Race ya!

[grunts]

What do you carry
in these things?

-They are...
-Kinda mean?

No, wicked awesome!

You want me to scare them away?

I'm trying out this new thing

where I spin
my whole head around...

[straining]
Came up with this on my own.

I totally didn't see it
in a movie.

Yeah, that's looking
really good, Scratch.

But let's just keep an eye on
them for now? Maybe?

Wait till you see it
with the bulging eyes!

-[babbles]
-Ooh! That is a good feature.

Really glad you two are here.

Gives us a chance to connect
as fellow adults. Equals.

Yeah, equal parts
skinny and puny!

Ow! Ow! Stop pokin' me!

Ha! Now ya sound like
Silly McGee.

Yeesh. They're really
giving him a hard time.

Uh, well, I do have a very
un-silly job here in Brighton.

Look. Me with the mayor!

Ooh, didn't know
we were among royalty.

Don't mind us,
ya royal highness.

By the way,
ya got mustard on ya tie!

-What? No! Aw, man!
-[laughter]

[Billy]
Eh, Don't sweat it, Silly.

No one's ever even
heard of Brighton anyway.

[giggling]

[gasps] Scratch!
A baby ghost!

-Oh, wookit him!
-[coos]

[gasps] That's no average
house-ghost, Moll. It's...

a Sobgoblin!

Sobgoblins amplify sadness.

They're dangerous.
Real dangerous.

[cooing]

I mean... Come on, dangerous?

This little cutie-wootie
couldn't hurt a little-- [gasps]

-Ahh!
-[coos]

Uh, Scratch, why do I suddenly
feel bottomless despair?

Never look a Sobgoblin
in the eye.

Never. We gotta
get rid of it before...

-Or what?
-[laughing]

[Scratch] Before that!
Misery loves company, Moll.

If we don't do something,
Sobgoblins will overrun this
entire family!

What?! We can't let that happen!

Scratch, we gotta get rid
of the Sobgoblins!

[strains]

That's what I've been
saying this whole time.

-Are you even listening?
-Okay, I gotta catch up

with a lot of ghost stuff.

[Billy]
He shoots, he scores!

-[laughs]
-Ooh!

Tough look for Team Silly!

Why do you call Dad "Silly"?

'Cause his name don't rhyme
with the rest of us McGees.

-I mean, you got Billy,
-And Jilly, and our siblings

[Billy and Jilly] Milly, Philly,
Willy, Lilly, Gilly. And Dilly.

But "Pete"? What kind of
name is that?

One day, our little brother here

said he didn't wanna
watch the Sox game

I had skating practice.

-Which was just silly.
-And the name stuck!

[laughter]

Cool! I want an -illy name, too!

Pick a good one,
'cause once ya got it,

Ya got it for life.
Right, Silly?

[cooing, laughing]

[Molly] Desperate times
call for desperate measures.

[sighs]

I promised myself I'd never open

this box of things
that make me sad,

but we've gotta lure those
Sobgoblins away from Dad.

-I'll set the mood.
-[happy music plays]

Whoops. Wrong mood.

-[sad music plays]
-[sighs]

Oh, man.
Look at him, Scratch.

You know, he's hanging in there
as hard as he can!

But can he make it to Friday?

I'm not sure!

Get more sad! It's working!

[gasps] It is? Yay!

No! Wrong way, Moll.
Think about the kitten!

-The 40-hour work week!
-[whimpers]

The corporate slog!
It's too much for him!

It's too much for anyone!

-You're right!
-Yes, Molly.

Give into the sadness.

It's only Tuesday!

[bawls]

Oh. Okay.
I'm letting go with it.

[cooing]

Aww! They're so cute!

No! You can't distract me
with adorable-osity!

I'm gonna kill you guys
with kindness!

[growling]

[growling]

[grunting]

[cackles]

[cries]

What? What is it?

The kitten didn't make it!

[chitters]

I hate Sobgoblins.

The kitty...

Oh, yeah. This is why
I'm not a homeowner.

So are you gonna keep us
cooped up forever, Silly,

or are you gonna
show us around your tiny town?

Oh, that's a great idea,
but I-- [coughs]

think I'm coming down
with something.

It's just as
I've always suspected.

See right here? Ya got
a bad case of boring.

I do not! I'm wicked fun!

Come on, Silly,
I gotta have my cake!

Pete, it's not your birthday.

You were born in September.

Yeah, but so are
Billy and Jilly's.

so we changed
my birthday to today.

It's fine.
They were there first.

[cooing]

-Uh, uh! Get out!
-[blows raspberry]

[sighs, gasps]

We didn't stop
the Sobgoblins, Scratch.

Come on, let's enjoy
our last meal

before life becomes so bleak we
never enjoy anything ever again.

Okay. Mac and cheese?

Happy birthday, baby brother!

It's good to have you back.

You guys, I got it!
My -illy name is Chilly.

'Cause I'm so cool.

Ooh! Chilly McGee!

Ooh, that's a good one there!

Chilly McGee! I like it.
It fits ya.

[slurps] Hey, Molly!

How would you like a side
of "Chilly" Cheese fries?

-Ew, Darryl! Gross!
-[laughs]

Gonna grow up just like us, kid!
[laughs]

[dramatic music]

Not Darryl, too.

[chitter]

[laughs]

Enough!

My name is not Silly! It's Pete!

And that's Darryl!

I am done being a Silly McGee!

And my birthday
is in September!

-You tell them, Pete!
-[gasps] Scratch, look!

-[cooing]
-[Molly] The Sobgoblins
are weakening!

I'm not that kid you pushed
around anymore.

Why can't you see me
as an accomplished adult!

I have a loving family
and a great job and--

[sobbing]

We get it!
You're better than us!

-What?
-Our whole lives,

you've been showing off,
making us feel like losers!

And now you got your fancy job,

your fancy family,
and your fancy house!

With its spacious and
tastefully decorated guest room!

We ain't got none of that!

[crying]

[snarling]

Oh, Billy, Jilly.

I never meant to
make you feel bad.

I just wanted your respect.

Maybe we don't always
show it so good but

we got nothing
but respect for you.

We love you, baby brother!

We're proud of you, too!

What do you say, bury the
hatchet in a Silly Sandwich?

Nah. We'll give you
a Petey sandwich.

-Oh!
-I'm gonna kiss your head.

[cringing]

[gasps] Scratch!

I know how to get rid of
the Sobgoblins!

Group hug!

[cringing]

Not so tough anymore,
are ya punks?

Eeeeee!

I'm so proud of this family!

Oh. Um, hello, Mr. Mayor.
