-[grunts] -Ugh.

[Nora] Lucas!

-I feel really nervous around him. -[Nora] I said stop doing that.

I knew when Dennis died, it was gonna be hard,

but I thought he was gonna be sad, not reckless.

No!

[man] Previously on Goosebumps...

[Colin] Lucas has gotta get his act together.

I don't want us to affect his future.

All you have to do is get an A on the next test.

-What if you help me? -Like, study?

-No, nerd. Like show me your answers. -Yes.

[Margot] You mean you want me to help you cheat?

Nora, what're you doin' here?

He's come back to make us pay for what we did to him.

I saw Biddle.

I'm telling you, he's back!

That kinda talk that's gonna get you in trouble again.

[pants]

[gasps]

Help me find him.

-[both gasp] -[squish]

-Oh, my God! -Some weird stuff is happening.

-[grunts] -[girl gasps]

[boy shouts]

What the--

-Where did you find the mask? -The Biddle house.

-Yo. Check what I found in the kitchen. -Ew.

-It's the same place I found the cam. -[Margot] This is all connected.

Where is he?

Where is he?

[box crashes]

[tense music]

-[Lucas sniffles] -[phone beeps]

Yo! Wassup, guys!

It's Lucas Parker here.

And, uh, I'm about to, uh,

make a run down that thing.

Um, it's called the "Booms of Doom."

And this one is to, uh,

honor the old man.

It's morning.

It's morning? How did we fall asleep?

Oh, your body just gets relaxed and your brain--

I can't afford to be relaxed.

It's kinda my thing, I just relax people.

I'm like a glass of warm milk at two in the morning.

I'm sorry we gotta sneak around all the time.

[sighs] Yeah, well.

Well, we do.

Because we're two grown adults having an affair.

[sighs] A widow and a married man.

And that's just the truth.

And no matter how we spin it,

it's wrong and sad, and...

and... amazing and weird and...

But also... wrong.

I mean, I just washed my private parts with a mini bar of soap.

Really? I mean, that was very fast.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

I just feel like,

every time I start to feel good,

something bad happens.

What are you talking about? Nothing bad is gonna happen.

No, I just...

There's just...

[exhales] There's a lot going on.

Like Lucas?

I was really talking about me.

-I don't want to drag you into it. -Hey.

[Nora sighs]

-Drag me into it. -Trust me on this one.

Nothing that you say is gonna change the way I feel about you.

We should go.

Hey.

I can't wait to just be able to hold hands with you in public.

[motorcycle rumbling]

[Lucas sniffles]

I'm gonna do it for you, Dad.

I'm gonna do a Denn-defying stunt,

and it's gonna be The "Booms of Doom."

Papa?

Father?

[phone chimes]

[toaster clatters]

I thought you might be hungry, since you were gone all of last night.

Thanks.

Were you with someone special?

Mom. No. Please, don't.

-[James chuckles] -OK. You know, sad face.

You used to tell me everything.

Mm.

But really,

where were you last night?

I was worried.

Nowhere.

Did you send Eliza an apology for what happened at her house the other night?

You know, most people start with, "Good morning."

Good morning.

Did you send Eliza an apology note?

No. Because there was nothing to apologize for.

What does that mean?

Fine. Just sit there and silently sulk.

Your choice.

[exhales] Uh-huh.

Mm-hmm.

[bones crack]

-[Isaiah whimpers] -This shouldn't hurt.

Been laying off the arm? Taking it easy?

Yes, Dad. I've been taking it easy.

How easy?

Get away from him!

-Run! -[Margot] Run!

Pretty easy.

Your future's riding on this.

-If I hear you're sneaking into practice-- -Then what?

You OK?

Well, other than my broken arm?

[chuckles] You know what?

I'm actually feeling pretty good.

[Lucas] Hey, Mom?

Hi, honey.

-Could I talk to you for a second? -Yeah, sure. What's up?

Um...

What were you doing this morning?

Um...

I had to get down here early to make some pies.

OK.

I haven't seen that hat in a long time.

Uh, yeah, yeah, I found it when I was clearing out the shed.

You've been spending a lot of time in that shed lately.

I know you miss him.

I mean, don't you?

Of course I do.

What does that mean?

N-Nothing, nothing.

Yeah, you know, I'm thinking maybe one day making one of my own with, like,

my name on it and stuff.

Yeah, well, as long as it's promoting your safe accounting firm, though.

[chuckles]

Honey, you OK?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, it looks good on you.

I'll see you later.

Hey. Don't forget your breakfast.

-[door opens] -[bell rings]

-[door closes] -[bell rings]

[indistinct chatter]

Yeah, so, um... [clears throat]

Principal Stoller mentioned that you've used up all your sick days

and I guess you wanted a mental health day,

and I just wanted to let you know

that's not a thing with teachers.

[chuckling] We don't get mental health days.

But I am here to check in, so...

I'm just not feeling like myself.

I shouldn't be expected to teach if I'm not feeling like myself.

[inhales] Uh, yeah, I hear you.

But if you could just kinda push through,

that would be helpful. OK.

Did you wanna keep talking? OK...

Yeah, I do, actually.

'Cause a friend of mine has gone missing,

and I'm pretty freaked out about it.

Oh. Yeah... that's-- That's horrible. I am so sorry.

He's been missing for a while.

Why do we hurt the ones that we love, huh?

Oh. Uh, I don't know.

[head thuds]

-[trinket jingling] -[ominous music]

Hey, where did you get that?

[Lucas] Oh, dude! No-fly zone.

The eye, where did you find it?

-Oh, um... -What's your name again?

Lucas Parker.

-Can I just see it? -Um, I'm gonna go to math.

Lucas Parker.

-Nora has him. -[ominous music]

Hey. You know what I miss?

Being bored.

Oh, God, I would kill to be bored.

Not actually kill, not a monster.

[clears throat] Anymore.

Triggering, I get it.

Seriously, I'd much rather take being bored

over this constant feeling of dread that I have, 24/7.

Right here. At all times.

You know, I used to spend every day

trolling Allison's terrible singing voice

and hating my annoying mother.

What I would give to go back to that.

[James chuckles] I knew you were funny.

I knew you were cool.

Hey. I don't know why we're at school today.

Seriously.

I mean, look, on a positive note,

at least we know we're not gonna die alone from...

Zombie apocalypse? Vampires?

-[Isabella] James. -[James] Werewolves?

-Enough. -[James] Spitballing here.

It's just insane that we're supposed to go about our day

like none of this ever happened.

I know. But look, we just gotta wait

for Margot's mom to get here,

and that way there we can find out what's going on.

OK, well... [scoffs] ...when is that gonna be?

I have no idea. Honestly, I've been waiting for my mom to come back

for a long time, so I've gotten used to disappointment,

-but that got me thinking. -Oh, no.

-What if I tell my dad? -What?

-Hey... -C'mon, c'mon, we have to talk

to someone old enough to pay taxes.

I tell him everything.

And he tells me everything. He never lies.

He's literally the most normal, honest person in the world.

There's no way he's connected to any of this.

She's got a point. I've lived next door for years,

and her dad's, like, the OG of norm-core.

You said he did puzzles before COVID?

His aura is beige.

Gotta love him.

-[Isabella sighs] -[James exhales] OK. What the hell.

Literally, after the week we've had, what else can go wrong?

-James! -No.

It's like you want us to die.

-What? -[sighs]

-[bell rings] -[James and Isaiah sigh]

Uh, Stokes?

Can I, um, can I talk to you about something?

Yeah, um...

Is this about what happened at the docks?

-'Cause I've been meaning to explain-- -No, I mean, that was, like, really weird,

but it's different. Um, there's just, um...

Well, there's something in my bedroom

and I need to show it to you.

It's not like a weird thing,

it just happens to be in my bedroom and w...

I'm not gonna, like, murder you or anything.

You really need to workshop your pick-up lines.

[Margot chuckles]

Wasn't trying to pick you up.

No, I know, I was...

Sorry, uh, it's just really important.

-Yeah. -Yeah? Cool.

All right, my mom and I didn't exactly have a great morning,

so I just wanna make sure she's kinda gone...

OK. After you.

Um, I just didn't want her to, like,

you know, offer us snacks and be, like, weird or something like that.

Ah, yes, avoiding a hovering parent.

-I know it well. -[Lucas] Mm.

[door squeaking]

This is a nice room.

Like, not so...

musky as you would expect a boy's room to be. [chuckles]

Yeah, you know.

Contrary to popular belief, I believe in good hygiene.

Don't take this the wrong way, but that's kinda surprising for you.

Yeah...

That was a joke, I...

Yeah. Um, you should probably, um, sit,

um, sit down for this.

It's, um, super weird and, uh, sort of...

You know, uh, tough to watch,

but, um...

Yeah, I'm just gonna, um, show you.

What?

Um, that's my dad. And your...

Yeah, it's my mom.

It's from this morning when, um...

When, um, he dropped her off.

I can't believe he would do this to my mom.

I'm really sorry.

Uh...

[sniffles] Uh, do they know that you know?

No. No, no...

My mom, um...

I tried to talk to her about it this morning,

but, um, she denied what she did

and just kind of lied to my face, I guess.

Yeah, my dad...

I just thought he left before me this morning,

but I guess he never came home.

I'm really sorry you had to,

you know, find out like this,

um, like, that I had to be the one to tell you,

I just, you know, figured you should know.

If it makes you feel any better, you know,

my dad's dead.

It doesn't, but thanks for trying.

[sighs] Hey.

I have something that's gonna cheer you up.

If it is a video of our parents having sex,

then I'm-- I'm leaving.

No, it's, uh...

It's these.

-It's my friends. -Your friends?

Yeah, do you, uh, remember the worms?

From the Halloween party?

-[Margot] Ah. Those friends. -Yeah.

This... is him.

It's a worm.

I know, pretty cool, right?

'Kay.

You wanna see me eat it?

No, thank you. I-- I appreciate the attempt to cheer me up

but that's not gonna...

-[Lucas gagging] -Oh, my God!

Oh, my God, what did you just do?

-[Lucas gagging] -Are you OK?

-Oh... Are... -[Lucas gags]

Oh. Mm.

-[Lucas exhales] -Oh.

I'm good. I'm good. I think he's...

[clears throat] I think I got it.

Yeah, I'm good. I'm chilling. It's all good.

-I'm OK. -You're chilling?

Do you even know what kind of worms those were?

What if it's a parasite or something?

-Do you need me to, I... -Uh. Well, it's all protein now.

[chuckles]

OK. Um...

On that note, I should go.

Uh, I could walk you home.

-If you wanted. -Uh, yeah, sure.

Hey, Margot!

You're bringing him to this thing with your dad?

What thing?

No... Change of plans.

We're not telling my dad anything anymore.

Why, what's going on?

What's going on is just...

I can't trust my dad. That's all.

Hey! Lucas. And Isaiah.

-Hey. -I don't know what you guys are up to,

but I just started an 8,000 piece puzzle

of the Milky Way Galaxy

if anybody wants to help out.

-Uh... -I'll talk to you guys later.

-OK. -[Lucas] Later.

I didn't know you're friends with Lucas Parker.

That's great. That's fun.

-[Colin clears throat] -Yeah, sure.

[stomach gurgling]

-Are you good? -Uh...

Ye-- Yeah. Um, I'm good.

Oh... Yeah, I gotta do it at my house, too.

-Come on. -Oh, man!

[students laugh, grunt]

Dude! You OK?

Uh... Yeah. [chuckles]

Yeah, man, I'm OK!

Really? We totally nailed you.

I didn't feel it.

[students laughing]

[bones cracking]

I'm gonna go throw up now.

[student moans]

No, you don't understand. I don't feel anything.

[Margot] Hey, Lucas?

-[door slams] -Hey!

Hi. Um, I was just checking in,

'cause I know yesterday was really... sucky,

and I wanted to see how you're handling it.

Yeah, I'm so good.

You know, I'm just, uh,

just rolling with the punches and, you know, uh,

doing all the things that need to be done.

So, you're fine?

-[chuckles] Margs. Listen... -Don't call me Margs.

[Lucas scoffs]

[sighs] I know you're in pain.

But the great thing about pain,

is that you can actually choose not to feel it.

I really don't think that's how it works.

Well, what I'm learning today,

is that's exactly how it works.

Well, she saw something in the forest the night of the party.

It could be connected.

OK, but she sucks. She's rude.

-No offense. -Hm? What are we talking about?

Isaiah would like to bring Allison

into the Haunted Housewives of Port Lawrence.

-Mm-hmm. -Yeah, no, bad idea.

[sighs] I knew you was gonna say that.

What is your problem with her?

It's not... It's not that I have a problem, it's just...

You want to bring someone else into this mess?

[chuckles] Wait. What is the dynamic here?

-Did you guys date? -No!

[together] No, we're neighbors.

-Who dated? -It's like they're an old divorced couple.

But now that they're retired, the kids are off in college,

they're finally entering the more amicable part of their separation.

-I will hurt you. -No, it's not.

We should probably talk about it,

-'cause I'm feeling the vibes. -Feeling what vibes?

Why did you ask me to come here?

We all just wanted to talk to you about what happened.

No, we didn't.

What do you mean, "what happened?"

In the forest.

Ring a bell?

'Kay, nothing happened in the forest.

Please don't tell her.

OK, how about you don't tell my boyfriend

what he should and shouldn't tell me?

Mm-hmm.

Smooth.

-[Margot sighs] -Thanks, guys.

Told you she sucked.

Hey, Allison! Come on, baby, hold up.

[Allison] Just tell me what's going on.

That's what I've been trying to do.

Not your stupid ghost story. I'm talking about Margot.

You two have this secret thing and I'm just not in on it.

OK, fine. You want to know our secret?

Look, she helped me cheat on my test,

so then I got a good enough grade to play in the game.

That's it.

That's the big secret, OK?

You happy?

Is that supposed to make me feel better?

That the girl I've always suspected you've always had feelings for,

-helped you cheat on a test? -No, no, it's not--

God, you're not as smart as I thought you were.

I...

Well, yeah, that's why I had to cheat on the test.

[sighs]

What's up, dude?

Wassup?

[knocking]

Come in.

I need to talk to you about something.

Hey, yo, you guys seen Lucas?

Uh, yeah. Earlier today.

I guess he's not really one of the guys I keep track of, you know.

He's been acting super weird.

He was walking his dirtbike through the hallway.

-He's just going through a lot right now. -[Isaiah] Yeah, seems like it.

You know, last night, after you went inside, he got pretty sick.

There was a whole gross stomach situation.

-Stomach situation? -I thought the meeting was canceled.

Yeah, no it was.

Um, Lucas was just walking me home.

It's a long story. He ate a worm.

So he finally ate the worm?

He was trying to flex at the Halloween party and do it there.

Right.

He found the worms at the Biddle house.

Camera, mask, dupes...

[all] Worms.

-Oh, this is bad. -[ominous music]

Margot.

OK, one sec, guys.

What's up, Dad?

Uh, close the door, please.

So, look, I know.

You know?

I know about everything.

-Wait, who told you? -Honey, that's not important.

What's important is that

I'm the guidance counselor at this school,

and my own daughter's been accused of cheating.

Wait. Wait, what?

Just tell me, honey, honestly.

Did you share your answers with Isaiah on the test?

Did he pressure you? 'Cause this is so out of character.

No, no, I... [scoffs]

OK, I-- I can't...

I can't believe this is happening, no.

OK, so you're not denying it, then.

Look, Margot.

I'm asking you.

Yes or no, did you cheat?

Yeah, I did…

and I guess I learned that from my Dad.

Look, I know about you and Nora.

What, I don't...

Were you just not gonna tell me?

Or Mom?

Honey...

-It's not that simple, um-- -No, I think it's very simple.

You are sleeping with someone that is not my mom.

[students] Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!

-Jump! Jump! Jump! -[motorcycle revving]

Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!

-[students chanting] -Well, this has to be Biddle.

I don't know, man.

Lucas is always doing something crazy.

-[Margot] Lucas! -Lucas!

Lucas! What are you doing?

Get off the roof of the school right now!

Lucas, listen to me! You're gonna get hurt!

Come down off the roof of the building!

[Margot] Lucas, stop!

-No, no, no! -Are you out of your mind?

[all exclaim]

-[car alarms beeping] -No! My car!

Are you out of your stupid mind?

Are you OK? You could've been killed!

Look at me. Look at me, Lucas!

I probably can't even drive that now.

I'm gonna have to recommend that the Principal expel you.

And I'm gonna recommend you stop banging my mom.

Lucas! Lucas.

Lucas, stop.

What was that? You--

Dude, you really messed up your shoulder. You need to go to the hospital.

No, I didn't. Just...

[Lucas grunts]

See?

-What-- -I'm invincible.

Wait, Lucas, what's under your skin?

Ah, I would love to stay and chat,

but I have a Denn-defying date with the "Booms of Doom."

Later.

Yo, boy. Here we go.

Nora, we have to talk.

Yes, your father called and told me everything.

I'm so sorry. You must be--

No. This is not about your stupid affair. This is about Lucas.

I think Biddle got to him.

-There are these worms, and-- -Worms?

Yeah. He found them at the Halloween party.

And he ate one last night.

And I think they're, like, crawling around inside of him.

I don't really know, but he's acting really strange and...

I'm really worried about him.

Uh, before he left he said,

something about the "Booms of Doom"

-and then he took off. -Let's go. Let's go. Right now.

-[bell rings] -Wait, what are the "Booms of Doom?"

Where his dad died. Get in.

[ominous music]

[motorcycle rumbling]

[Lucas] Time for a Denn-defying stunt.

-Time for a Denn-defying stunt. -[horn honking]

Time for a Denn-defying stunt.

Lucas!

-[Lucas whispers] Time... -Lucas! Don't do it!

Mom. I'm so good, you know?

I don't feel any pain. I feel so good, Mom!

Lucas. It's the worms. They're messing with you.

No, no they're not. They're helping me fulfill his legacy.

OK, Lucas. I know how much you wanna be close to your dad right now.

-But this is not the way. -Yes, it is. OK?

Mom, we're exactly the same.

He wanted me to be just like him.

We're a team. You know, we're father and son.

He wanted me to be just like him.

-No, but you're not like him, Lucas. -Don't say that to me.

-[Margot exclaims] -[engine revving]

Mom, get out of my way before I run you over!

No, I know you're mixed up and confused right now...

[groans] I'm so sick of everybody telling me what I am, Mom.

OK? I'm clear. OK?

I'm perfect. And I'm gonna make this run.

Stop! Please!

No! Lucas!

Dammit! Look at me!

Your dad didn't do this run because he thought he could make it.

[scoffs] What are you talking about?

He did it because he knew he couldn't.

-[motorcycle revving] -No!

-You're trying to trick me! -No, she's not. Listen to her, OK?

-He left a note. -No.

I didn't wanna tell you

because I know how much you idolized him.

-[Lucas] No. -No, and I didn't wanna ruin that for you.

-But you have to hear the truth. -No! No.

Listen to me, look at me!

He wanted to die, Lucas,

and this was his way of doing it.

No.

[groans] No!

[Lucas groaning]

Lucas.

[Lucas retching]

[Lucas crying]

God, Lucas.

Lucas, I'm so sorry.

I shouldn't have kept it secret, but I just...

[crying] I miss him so much.

I know, sweetie. I miss him, too.

-I'm really sorry, Mom. -Oh, God.

You never have to apologize to me, OK?

-OK. -I mean, you do.

But not for something like this, OK?

I'm never gonna lie to you again.

OK. I mean, I'll probably lie to you, but...

-[both chuckle] -I love you.

-I love you so much. -[Lucas] I love you too.

You guys...

What's that I'm feeling?

An emotional moment between mother and son?

No, no, I feel something, like, in the ground,

like, shaking.

-[ground rumbling] -[ominous music]

Sick.

[Margot] What're you doing?

-They want me back. -Lucas.

They want me back. Mom, get in the car and drive.

-Go, go! -Come on!

Hey, I'm the one you want, OK? Come and get me!

-[motorcycle rumbling] -[tense music]

[tires screech]

-Nora, what the hell is that thing? -Like I know!

Well, you know it has to do with Biddle!

Maybe the kid had a collection of worms!

Sorry if I didn't see this coming!

[motorcycle engine revving]

[tires screech]

-[tires screeching] -[gate rattling]

Get in, get in, get in!

-Shut the door. -[Nora] Lucas!

[Lucas] Give me the wood thing.

-[screams] -[worm groans]

[Nora screams]

Is there another exit?

Yeah, um, I don't...

Mom! Mom, get away from the...

Uh, yeah, I don't think that's gonna hold.

[Nora] Oh, God.

Um, Mom, OK, I-- I need you guys to,

to get the sawmill on and I'm gonna buy us some time.

-[Nora] Margot, Come on! -[motorcycle revving]

[grunts]

[control panel beeps]

That's it.

OK. Oh, my God!

[motorcycle revving]

[Nora] Keep flipping switches until we find the right one.

-Chipper, chipper! -Oh! Chipper!

-Oh! -What was that?

-Stay here. -What?

[Nora] Yes, stay here!

[motorcycle revving]

-[Nora thuds] -[Margot] Nora!

[tense music]

Go!

[motorcycle revving]

[Lucas] Get the chipper on.

[Margot grunts]

Margot!

[chipper rumbling]

[Lucas groans]

-[worm bits spluttering] -[water splashing]

[chipper powers down]

Uh...

[grunts, sighs]

[sighs]

[chuckles] He did it.

[chuckles, sighs]

[sirens wailing]

[Margot] Thanks for coming so fast.

Hey! Yogadu okaday?

I'm fine. We gotta get outta here.

[car engine revving]

[sirens wailing]

[water splashing]

Hey. Hey, Mike.

It's just… It's just me.

I mean, um, Officer Hodgson.

Nora? What happened here?

Yeah. Well, um, funny thing…

um...

[whispers] I am just so...

sick of lying.

OK.

I'm gonna tell you everything that happened here.

I'm not crazy.

I'm telling the truth.

There were giant worms everywhere.

And this all has to do with the ghost of a dead kid.

Why is nobody listening to me?

She's been through a lot with Dennis dying.

You brought her to the right place.

I'll take care of her now.

[shoes dragging]

[Bratt snickers]

Don't worry.

We'll get you back together soon enough, Slappy.
