Hey, guys.

Check it out!

Science Bob just sent us tickets

for his live show, Friday night.

I can't wait!

Actually, you can wait.

You just don't want to.

[sighs]

It's a figure of speech, Ricky.

- Ah, front row seats.

We're Science B's VIPs.

I hope he does that experiment

where he turns olive juice

into an olive,

using muscular astronomy.

Actually, it's molecular

gastronomy.

Which is the cooking

or eating of fine food.

[all sighing]

Whatever--as long as I get

to eat that delicious olive.

Technically

if it's made of juice,

you're drinking it.

[all sighing]

Ricky, you don't have

to be right all the time.

Yeah, you're always

correcting us.

I don't always.

In fact, there's

a lot of mistakes

you make that I think--

"Eh, not worth it."

[doorbell rings]

- Hey, Mae!

I got you a ticket

for Science Bob's

show this Friday.

- Get excited!

- I am excited.

But I'm not going.

What-- why?

That's Friday

the 13th.

Friday the 13th

is just a day

like any other day.

You really don't believe

in silly superstitions, do you?

No, not silly ones.

Just real ones.

Like Friday the 13th--

It's bad luck.

In reality, there's no such

thing as bad luck.

Friday the 13th is just

a day like any other day.

- Don't correct my friend.

- But you just said--

Pipe down, friend.

You may know the answers

to hard facts,

but you can't know for sure

superstitions aren't real.

Well, if you believe

in superstitions,

aren't you worried

about stepping on that crack?

Step on a crack,

break your mother's back.

And see?

Nothing happened.

[crash]

[Anne] Ow, my back!

- Mom, are you okay?

- She's fine.

Yeah, I just tweaked

my back carrying in

all the groceries by myself.

I'm sorry, hon.

I was just about

to beat my high score on Grocery

Hero.

You take virtual groceries

and put them away

on virtual shelves.

Sleep tight,

low-fat yogurt.

See, Ricky.

Step on a crack,

break your mother's back.

Actually, Mom's back

isn't broken.

It just hurts.

Besides, this isn't

bad luck.

It's just bad Dad.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa, whoa.

- He is not a bad dad.

- I dropped the milk!

He is a bad husband.

Noted.

And I'll pick up

the real groceries.

Excuse me, my atlas

is getting cold.

I am sick of Ricky

being so sure he's right

and always correcting us.

Yeah, and he does

it to me all the time.

Like he's more

smartest than me.

We need to prove he can

be wrong about something.

What if we prove

superstitions are real?

So you do think

they're real?

[snorts] Of course not,

they're ridiculous.

Sorry.

So in order to prove

Ricky's wrong

about superstitions

not being real,

we have to convince

him superstitions are real?

Even though we know

they're not real?

Yeah, exactly.

See, now who's

more smartester?

[upbeat music]

- ♪ Na na na na na na ♪

- ♪ One, two, one, two, three,

four! ♪

[upbeat music]

Okay, I loosened all the screws

in Ricky's chair

so when he sits down,

it'll collapse

because of his "bad luck"

from walking under the ladder.

And then he'll have to admit

he was wrong about

superstitions.

- Are you sure

it's a good idea

to be messing with

superstitions like this?

What if Mae's right and--and

there's something to it?

I think it's a great idea.

It's clever, it's simple,

and it's got the element of

supplies.

You mean surprise?

No, supplies.

We didn't have

to buy any supplies.

That's a good plan.

Sweetie, that's

very nice of you,

but I told you,

my back is fine.

I can fold the laundry.

I know you can,

I just feel bad

about not helping

with the groceries.

Honey, I really appreciate

it but it really--

it's just better when

I do this kind of stuff.

Oh, I see.

It's because I don't

do things the Anne Way.

Huh?

Oh, you know what?

You're right, Tom.

You know, I'm sorry,

I should let you help out around

here more.

Ooh-- I was gonna do

the floors next.

- The floors?

- Yeah.

Well, put me in, coach.

I'm ready to sweep.

- Ohh.

- [chuckles]

Move the chairs!

I'm sorry.

Do it the Tom Way.

Thank you.

Real ma-chair, Anne.

I'm gonna put ma chairs

back where ma want them.

Oh, Ricky?

Lunch time!

You think I'm gonna be afraid

to walk under a ladder?

I told you--

superstitions are bologna.

Are you 100% sure?

Does this answer your question?

What was his answer?

What did you say?

Dicky!

What?

You walked

under the ladder.

I did?

Twice!

And nothing happened,

because there's

no such thing as bad luck.

We'll see about that.

Hey, guys, what do you say we

all sit down for some lunch?

Sure.

Lunch always

tastes better

when you're sitting

in a chair.

Go on-- sit, sit.

[yells]

Dicky, are you okay?

No, he's not okay.

It's bad luck from walking under

that stupid ladder!

Oh, please, I walked

under the ladder

and nothing happened to me.

How do you explain that?

I can't.

But, I can't explain

a lot of things,

like how do all the animals

know where the zoo is?

I saw this on Science Bob's

website.

The vinegar curdles the milk.

Makes it chunky,

sour, and gross.

[all]

Ugh.

All right, so phase two is set.

Now for phase one.

Nicky, where are

the cream puffs?

In the fridge.

Ahh, here they are.

Right above the fresh carton

of milk.

So, we gonna eat them

while we discuss phase one?

No, they are phase one.

Why did phase two

come before phase one?

Did they change math again?

No, math is the same.

Phase one--Ricky eats

the spicy cream puff.

What spicy cream puff?

This spicy cream puff.

Phase two--Ricky drinks

the spoiled milk

to cool his mouth.

Why would he drink

spoiled milk?

'Cause he doesn't know

it's spoiled.

Well then,

who's gonna tell him?

Nobody!

We don't want him to know.

The whole plan revolves

around the element

of not knowing.

Oh, then I'm good.

Now let's go get Ricky.

Ah, looks like Nicky's

been baking.

And left a mess which,

not to worry,

I will clean up.

Oh.

[chuckles]

But honey, I--

I thought you said

you were gonna clean up.

I will.

In Tom time.

But ah--there's milk out.

Noted.

[stammers]

But it's gonna spoil.

You know what, I'm so sorry.

Sorry.

I will let you do it.

But I can't live in Tom time!

Honey,

I said I'd do it!

[sighs]

Everything's gotta be done

the Anne way.

Oh, boy.

Here, let me just--

There we go.

Good thing the floor

is Tom clean.

Well, it's not my hair.

Ooh! Cream puffs!

My favorite!

Mmm...

Mmm...

Mmm...

Uh-oh.

Aaaah!

Fridge!

What the heck?

Yuck. Looks like

that milk is spoiled.

But this one's

fresh as a daisy.

Looks like

it's my lucky day.

You said the good milk

was in the fridge!

It was!

Well, how do you

explain this?

- I can't!

- And the cream puff switch?

- I can't!

- And phase two happening

before phase one?

Okay, I already

explained that.

The rest I can't explain.

Well, I can.

It's bad luck from the ladder!

No, it's not.

Look, we just need

to stick to the plan and

convince Ricky superstitions are

real.

Look, I don't wanna

tempt fate anymore.

- I'm out.

- No! Don't quit now!

Look, we're so close to proving

Ricky wrong about something.

All we have to do

is just come up with a plan

that leaves nothing

to chance.

Our Cousin Chance

from Idaho?

Why would we

leave it to him?

He's a baby!

I saw him go in.

Operation Broken Bathroom

is a go.

Oh, no!

Eew! Gross!

Shoot!

Aaah!

Aaah!

Ohh-- aah!

[breathing hard]

What the--

There's no such thing

as bad luck.

There's no such

thing as bad luck.

There is such a thing

as bad luck.

Help!

Let me outta here!

If the door handle's

broken, how's he gonna get out?

I took the hinge pins

out of the door, so one good

push will make it--

[loud thud,

thumping]

Bad luck is real!

I thought you don't believe

in that sort of thing.

I didn't... but I walked

under that ladder,

and now... all these things...

one after another...

it can't be a coincidence.

So you admit you were actually

wrong about something?

I... I guess I was.

Oh, my gosh.

Superstitions are real.

Superstitions are real.

I heard you!

Superstitions are real!

Uh-oh.

Superstitions are real!

I think we broke

Ricky.

Superstitions are real!

[cheerful whistling]

Well, we got

the door fixed.

Superstitions are real.

Superstitions are real!

But Ricky's

still broken.

Hey, buddy...

you doing okay?

I don't know.

I don't know anything anymore!

This is bad, Dawn.

Don't worry.

He'll bounce back.

You know, ever since

he walked under that ladder,

strange, unexplainable

things have been happening.

They're not unexplainable.

They may not have gone

as we planned,

but we set them all up.

[static sizzle]

What was that?

Did you set that up too?

No.

[static sizzling]

[all screaming]

Guys, I'm sure there's

an explanation for this.

Don't freak out!

Superstitions are real!

Superstitions are real!

Superstitions are real!

And...now I broke everyone.

So, hey, last night

did you happen to run

the dishwasher, vacuum,

washer, and dryer

all at the same time?

Bingo! The big four.

Well, you blew the big fuse.

Everything stopped mid-cycle,

and now nothing is clean.

You mean

it's not "Anne Clean."

No, I mean it's not

any kind of clean.

Don't step on a crack.

Don't step on a crack.

Don't step

on a crack.

I stepped on a crack!

Quick! Spin around

to undo the curse!

Would you stop that?

[sighs]

- Where's Ricky?

- I don't know.

Last time I saw him,

he was yelling

at the map ball.

You mean...

the globe?

Round.

Flat.

I don't know which one

of you to believe anymore!

Liars!

This has gone

too far.

Ricky, superstitions

aren't real.

We were behind all the things

that happened--

the toothbrush,

the shower curtain,

the broken doorknob--

all of it.

But what about Dicky's chair

breaking

and Nicky's milk

being spoiled?

Those were supposed

to happen to you.

But they didn't.

Yeah. They happened

to us instead.

Because of bad luck.

It's not bad luck.

Nicky didn't walk under

the ladder,

so why would he

have bad luck?

And why has nothing

happened to me?

Yeah. Why has nothing

happened to you?

But whenever

we're around you,

bad things happen to us!

[Nicky]

You made us tempt fate

in the first place!

Yeah!

- Maybe you're the curse!

- Yeah!

Okay, that's absurd!

I'm not the curse.

Bad things don't happen to you

just because I'm around!

- Oh...

- Uhh!

It's the curse!

How do you explain

that we're down here

and you're up there?

I...

[stammers]

Tom...

you didn't use

furniture polish,

hard wood wax,

and Super Shine

to clean the floors,

did you?

Bingo! The big three.

Honey, you can't do that.

It'll make the floors

too slippery.

I mean, I can't

explain it,

- but there's no way I'm the--

[boys] Oh!

Oh, my gosh!

I am the curse!

Our house has gone

from bad to worse.

So come on, sage,

get rid of the curse!

Keep your distance.

Don't worry.

We will.

Is that my sage?

Yes. I'm using it

to get rid of the curse.

[doorbell rings]

[ding-dong]

Fine. You can get it.

- Whoa!

- Oh!

Just come in!

Hey, guys.

Happy Friday the 13th!

[thwack]

Ow!

So you guys

were totally right.

I shouldn't let some

silly superstition keep me from

having a good time.

So I'd love to go with you

tonight to see Science Bob.

I'm not going.

I don't believe

in science anymore.

I never believed in science.

You should get out of here,

Mae,

before something bad

happens to you.

Don't be crazy, Dawn!

Run, Mae!

Save yourself!

- Dawn!

- Go on, get outta here!

- Get!

- But my mom dropped me off--

- I said git!

[doorbell rings]

[all]

I'll get it!

Hello!

Science Bob?

What are you

doing here?

I called him.

I'm the one who got

you guys freaked out

about superstitions,

so I asked Science Bob

to help me set you straight.

Kids, I want you to know,

there's no such thing

as bad luck or curses.

Look, I'll prove it to you.

I will stand next to Dawn,

and you will see

that nothing will happen.

Because, as a celebrated

science educator,

- I can tell you beyond a--

- Your coat!

Oh, my gosh,

my pen is leaking.

That is so weird.

I just bought that pen. Huh.

That's okay-- luckily,

I keep a spare coat in my bag.

[ripping sound]

Hopefully, I keep some

spare pants in there as well.

Ha. Science Bob's

spare pants.

Wow. That is so weird.

Oh, my gosh.

It's you...

You are cursed!

Bad luck is real!

Yeah! It makes you

question everything,

like science.

Yeah. I mean, if I was

wrong about superstitions,

what else might I be

wrong about?

Maybe science is all a lie!

But Science Bob,

you're Science Bob!

Not anymore.

From now on, I'm just Bob.

Or maybe Barista Bob.

Bob's got bills.

Either way, I'm not gonna

need this anymore.

[kids gasp]

Good job, guys.

You broke Science Bob.

Just Bob.

I'll prove to you

that science isn't a lie.

Look, if we mix

these two things--

Stop!

You can't mix those.

I thought it would make

a big, foamy snake thing.

No...

[glass clinking]

If we want to make

a big, foamy snake thing,

you mix potassium iodide

with hydrogen peroxide.

Right, Bob?

Whatevs.

Watch.

Whoa!

- Cool!

- Awesome!

Big, foamy snake.

That will happen

every single time

you mix them.

It's almost like

you can depend on it.

So I guess in this case,

science was right.

I guess.

I wonder what else

science has been right about.

Well, there's that cool

olive trick Science Bob does.

Science is always right

about that.

Exactly!

Every time you add

sodium alginate to olive juice

and drop it in a calcium

chloride solution,

we know it always does this.

And we know it will

always be good eatin'!

Technically,

it's good drinking.

You see, science can prove

a lot of things,

so you shouldn't

give up on it.

Which means... I probably

shouldn't either.

I guess there are some

things we can know for sure.

And some things

we can't.

Like... whether this guy's

name is Bob or Just Bob.

And it's actually okay to not

have all the answers.

Exactly.

Wait a minute.

Was this all a setup

to trick us into

feeling better?

I'll never tell.

But I will.

We totally set it up!

Look at this mess!

This has "Tom Clean"

written all over it.

Coach is puttin' you in.

But wh--what the heck

happened here?

Science.

Science Bob?

Are you responsible for this?

Actually...

Run!
