The Secret Path: Part 1
Sat, Oct 26, 201323 mins
Teenager Adam Freeman and his dad move to a new town, Springville, which Adam quickly learns the locals refer to as "Spooksville." Just as the evening curfew hits and everybody else scrambles for home from the basketball court, Adam meets Sally Wilcox and Watch, a couple geeky local kids who tell him a little more about the town. That night, as Adam tries to sleep, he sees a strange spider-like critter trying to haul away his childhood teddy bear, Sheriff Quick Paws. Adam calls Sally, who directs him to Watch's house where the three carefully examine the teddy bear and find a shiny stone inside it. When Adam bikes home, he is struck by a car then wakes up inside the vast estate of the notorious Ann Templeton (whom Sally thinks is a witch). After he and Ann talk, Adam tries to make his way home once again, this time being menaced by screeching creatures.

The Secret Path: Part 2
Sat, Oct 26, 201323 mins
Watch and Sally catch up with Adam on his path home and help him with the screeching creatures, which can be kept at bay with light. Later, at the town diner, Sally and Watch examine the map they've plotted of the suspicious anomalies they know of in Spooksville, but Adam has seen the shape of that map before - at the Templeton manor, Shadowmire. The three devise a way to get the Templeton map, with Adam providing a hunky diversion for Ann while Sally and Watch sneak in. After examining the map later, they head out on the path it shows, to find a stake resembling where witches were once burned, along with a statue of a raven. Adam fits the stone from Sheriff Quick Paws into the eye of the raven, and suddenly they're transported back in time to when Madeline Templeton was about to be burned at that stake. Adam then sees Madeline one-on-one, and she demands that stone from him. He tells Watch and Sally later that this stone must be some kind of conduit between points in time; and, indeed, Madeline's descendant Ann has felt the shift that occurred when the raven was reunited with its eye.
Episode 3
The Evil House
Wed, Oct 30, 201323 mins
It's Halloween, and Adam, Sally and Watch are out trick-or-treating in Spooksville. They see a young kid get abducted at the door of a house that looks abandoned. Adam decides to investigate. Inside the house is a carnival with lots of costumed adults that seem to be trapped there, in another dimension, by one Marvin the Magnificent, who happens to be the kid they saw get taken into the house. Marvin takes note of our threesome, whose voices seem to be strangely altered in this other dimension. Marvin ushers them into another room, where he tells them his story. He's trapped there and wants to get back to his parents. He also has his eye on Sally's magic wand (she's dressed up as a fairy princess, while Watch is a cowboy and Adam is a Ghost of Christmas Past or something-or-other with chains on). The trio are able to help Marvin get back home, and all is well in Spooksville once again. Maybe.

The Haunted Cave
Sat, Nov 9, 201323 mins
While getting his registration in order at Lizzie Borden High School (!), Adam sees an old photo of his mom in the trophy case. He only learned recently that she was originally from Springville. He, Sally and Watch visit the other person in the photo, a local eccentric homeless man referred to as The Mayor because he actually was the mayor of Springville at one time. He tells them Adam's mom was a local hero who rescued some kids from a dangerous cave then had the cave sealed up. Of course, our trio then explores the cave. After some spooky stuff, they realize (mainly from the voice channeling through Sally) that the cave is actually a living organism, an inter-dimensional creature that has sufferred greatly from all the humans trying to get inside and explore it. Adam's mom, Laurel Hall, understood this as a teen and had the cave sealed to protect it. Inside, Adam finds his mom's letter jacket (which has a "C" on it - hmmm?). The threesome is able to escape the cave, with Adam all the more interested to know why his mom vanished two years ago. At the very end, he finds a skeleton key inside her old jacket.

Episode 7
The Fire Inside
Sat, Nov 23, 201323 mins
Sally, scratched during yesterday's game of Dodge the Werewolf in gym class, is now infected with "the fire inside," coughing out smoke, feeling feverish, and believing it was Ann Templeton who scratched her. A little research turns up a possible cure - the rare crystal moonflower plant, which just happens to be growing at the Templeton estate, Shadowmire. Adam, Watch and Sally straightforwardly ask Ann for some of it; she's willing to cut a deal in exchange for the Raven's Eye stone from Adam. One option down, the three kids next sneak onto the grounds of Shadowmire, avoiding its ghoulish Homunculi sentries, and catching Ann and her butler Moorpark in some kind of sorcery ceremony on the estate grounds. They sneak inside and, with the help of Laurel's skeleton key, get to the crystal moonflower, but the soda that Watch mixes it with for the cure only makes things worse for Sally, now coughing fire. Ann to the rescue, believe it or not. She sees the threesome and ushers them to a safe place where Moorpark won't see, claiming to be a "prisoner" at Shadowmire. She saves Sally's life from the fire inside through a life force transfer and shows Adam a vision of his mother, alive somewhere and trapped - but it's all a ploy by Ann, secretly and deviously working to earn their trust.
Episode 8
The Wishing Stone
Sat, Nov 30, 201323 mins
As the threesome play the board game Guillotine (with a mini-guillotine!) at Adam's house, George (Adam's dad) tells them to go take a hike - literally (as in, go outside and get some exercise). On their mountain hike, Watch stumbles and finds a crystal that seems to grant wishes. He wishes to be able to eat anything - suddenly he can. Back at Sally's house, she takes her turn and wishes for a duplicate of herself to do her chores. Presto, a robot Sally appears at the sink to wash dishes, but along with that comes a robotic man at her doorstep, sent to collect the debt for their wishes, either by them paying an impossibly exorbitant amount of currency or working off the debt in the mines of a frigid planet. They flee to Adam's house, where the soldier follows them. Adam shoots it with his toy gun - which takes the robot out. Adam's dad gets home and, seeing the Collector's destruction, demands the truth from his son. Adam tells all, including how he believes his mom is trapped in some other dimension with the key to finding her here in Springville. George needs time to think, Sally and Watch leave, and the Collector reassembles. Adam, seeing this, runs to Watch's house where Sally solves the problem by sending her duplicate, as herself, to work off both her and Watch's debt. Adam's dad, stunned by these events, packs up the car to take Adam away from Spooksville. Sally slips Adam the crystal so Adam can make a wish to put it all right (which he is cleverly able to do).
Episode 9
The Wicked Cat
Sat, Dec 7, 201323 mins
Adam watches Sally and Watch make sandcastles at the lake when he unknowingly frees an entombed cat that then sneaks into their company back at the diner and later attacks Ann Templeton. Sally, with a fondness for the cat, encounters it in the alley, where it takes her place as a human. Soon, a beautiful new girl shows up at the diner, claiming to be Sally's close friend, Daniela. As Adam and Watch wonder where Sally went, Moorpark continues training Ann in the ways of her ancestor, Madeline, at Shadowmire. Adam and Watch look for Sally at the library, where Daniela hits on Adam. As she spouts off history about the Templetons, a fluffy white cat appears, and Watch realizes this is Sally. Daniela cons Adam into a romantic walk by the beach, where she continues to relay to him Templeton family history in a tale of Madeline's great-granddaughter, Eliza, and her best friend (and familiar), Adeline. Trapping Adam in a cave, Daniela reveals her vendetta against the Templetons. Watch, meanwhile, takes Sally the cat to Shadowmire to try to find a way to turn her back into Sally the girl. Ann realizes Daniela is a familiar that has traded places with Sally. Together they find Adam, free him, and return both Sally and Daniela to their rightful places. Adam is so grateful to Ann that, in the midst of their mutual gooey-eyes, he lets her borrow his mom's skeleton key to Shadowmire, by which Ann later makes a horrifying discovery.

The No-Ones
Sat, Dec 14, 201323 mins
It's Christmastime, as Watch's mom needs to point out, interrupting her son at work in his basement lab. She convinces Watch to go hang with his friends, but a trip to the diner and the Christmas decorating there only turns Watch off. Outside, he encounters Tira, a cute girl who shares his geeky love of science. Sally and Adam see this and follow the two to Quarry Lake, where they suspect Watch is in danger. Adam intercepts a glowing orb's energy meant for Watch, and it turns our hunky hero into a junky zero, Sally sees. She must escape from Adam and appeal to Ann for help. Turns out that Tira and her kind, the No-Ones, are parasites from another dimension and plan to take over Earth as they take over human bodies. Sally tries to talk sense into Watch. Later at the beach, there's a big confrontation where Watch finally realizes that Tira doesn't like him for his great geeky qualities - that she is indeed part of a sinister plot to take over humanity.
Episode 11
The Dark Corner
Sat, Dec 21, 201323 mins
As Adam, Sally and Watch help clean up litter along the city streets, Ann walks up to say she's found a way to reunite Adam with his mom. She takes them to a remote place where Adam can speak the reunion spell with his Raven's Eye, but instead of bringing Laurel to Adam, it seems to transform Spooksville into a desolate, burned-out place with zombies walking around. The kids take flight and decide to try to find out more at the library. There, they read about a war between "dark forces" and a certain "General" Laurel Hall - Adam's mom. When non-zombie Mr. Spiney tells how the dark queen - Madeline - silenced all the other people years ago, the kids realize they've been transported into a parallel Springville in another realm - a "perfect world of silence and bones." Once again, the zombies chase them, until a Ninja jumps in and saves them. The kids flee again and sadly find the grave of Adam's mom (showing that the reunion spell, in essence, did its job). Ann suggests they go to Shadowmire, where one of its many books on sorcery no doubt will get them home. There, they encounter the Ninja figure again, revealed to be - Adam's mom. With a little help from Adam, a spell manages to get them all home.

Shell Shock
Sat, Mar 8, 201423 mins
Adam's mom tries to settle back in at home as best she can, though she doesn't remember most of what happened in the past couple years. At the Springville Yacht Club, Sally's parents Bill and Dodie try to nab the open membership spot. They drag Sally to a dinner there, but she breaks away to investigate the recent disappearance of a young man at the pier. A kid from the Yacht Club follows her there, hitting on her. He then promptly disappears, as well, right after Sally gives him the coin the Yacht Club's commodore gave her. Sally has Adam and Watch meet her there to see about this "snob-eating crustacean." They learn more at the Yacht Club's maritime library, realizing there is a pirate-turned-crab trying to regain his pirate's treasure from a tall ship many years ago. They find that the Commodore has been hiding the treasure, and they drag the treasure chest over to the beach. Sally's parents have disappeared - they're the next ones the Commodore is using as bait to keep the pirate crab from coming after him. Together the kids fool the Commodore - and feed him to the pirate crab, frankly.
Episode 13
Flowers of Evil
Sat, Mar 15, 201423 mins
Something's up with Mr. Chloro, the kids' biology teacher. After a walk in the woods to do his plant-themed podcast, he's acting really smiley and strange. He's also pushing these odd-looking potted flowers. He wants everyone in the class to have one, and pretty soon everyone in the town has one, and they're walking around like very pleased zombies. The only holdout is Sally - fresh off a new dress code violation, she clearly likes to do things differently. That means she's the only one who still has her wits about her and who can save the others (the others who are, incidentally, calling her a "weed" and pursuing her to either assimilate her or worse). Ann, who just transferred to Lizzie Borden High from her private school, doesn't seem as affected by the plants, either. In fact, she steps in and helps Sally try to defeat the mother plant in the woods. The plant coughs up Mr. Chloro's smart phone, which has his podcast video on it showing that the plant doesn't much like diet soda.
Episode 14
Phone Fear
Sat, Mar 22, 201423 mins
Adam, Sally, Watch, Ann and three others are shipped off on a school "field trip" that turns out to be more like a boot camp under the watchful eye of Coach MacGillis. As it starts raining, everyone heads down the train tracks to an old abandoned logging camp for shelter. While Coach searches for a cell signal, the kids swap scary stories. Scaredy Katzman tells one of a girl who was lost at the old camp in the '80s after trying to make a call back to her mom on a very early cell phone. When Coach returns, he finally gets through on his cell but then disappears in a sudden fog - a fog that forms a ring around the camp. When Scaredy uses his cell and also disappears into the fog, our foursome realizes that making a call puts you in danger. When Ann just uses hers to text, she disappears as well, and the other classmates follow suit. Watch connects their disappearances to Beth, the girl in the '80s, but then he, too, is gone. To escape, Adam and Sally investigate an old steam locomotive and get it running, but Sally's phone inadvertently takes a call for her, and the fog swiftly gobbles her up. Adam, on the run now, finds the site where Beth made her last cell call and reaches out to her - and her mom - via her old phone, which puts an end to the predicament.
Episode 15
Critical Care
Sat, Mar 29, 201423 mins
Adam's mom Laurel is sleepwalking, so Adam, Watch and Sally take her to the doctor to get checked out. While there, it's discovered that Watch needs his tonsils out. Into the hospital he goes, and after surgery he asks to keep his tonsils, since he's a scientist. He sets them in their jar on his nightstand, but during the night they seem to get up and leave, just after tormenting him under the covers. He goes and gets Adam and Sally to investigate. They return to the hospital and encounter the creepy Nurse Grott in the "organ room." Yipes. They decide they have to see what's going on and find someone else who's getting their tonsils out. That happens to be Neil, the little boy they once saved from his ghostly grandmother's clutches. They then chase Neil's tonsils around the hospital (yes, unfortunately). Dr. Eck, who took out Watch's tonsils, appears and tells them her story (and shows them her stomach full of tonsils!): An accident with a tanning bed years ago caused a mutation that only tonsils could heal in her body. She and Nurse Grott have been working to give the tonsils taken out at the hospital this new "purpose." Umm, wow. But that still doesn't explain why Laurel is sleepwalking.
Episode 16
Blood Drive
Sat, Apr 5, 201423 mins
Watch, Sally and Adam volunteer for the school's annual blood drive, which, appropriately enough, is followed by a "vampire dance." Being that this is Spooksville, real cases of vampirism begin to pop up, beginning with Scaredy Katzman. He bites Sally, who soon grows some cute little baby fangs then promptly bites Watch. It's up to Adam to try to save the whole school from becoming vampires. The kids suspect Principal Blackwater as the head vampire behind it all, but surprisingly, Adam finds that the principal is a Van Helsing from the famous family line of vampire hunters, now retired. She recruits Adam's help, and together they go to the dance to clean up this vampire mess. Armed with holy water spray guns, Adam is the next best action hero before Principal Blackwater has it out with the lead vampire, who turns out to be the beautiful blood drive organizer, Ms. Clench.
Episode 17
Fathers and Sons
Sat, Apr 12, 201423 mins
It's a father-and-son four-day camping trip in the great outdoors for Watch and Adam, and for Watch that means Officer Dugan tagging along, since he's been dating his mom. When they go to rent canoes from The Mayor, he tells them about a fierce creature at the tributary where they plan to fish. This being Spooksville, they ignore The Mayor's warning. As they venture on, they discover a cougar carcass that's been torn apart by something big. Back at Adam's house, Laurel gets a visit from Sally, and it becomes clear that Laurel has developed some kind of clairvoyance. The foursome in the woods, meanwhile, get attacked by a big hairy ferocious thing, badly injuring Dugan's leg. Watch deftly splints the broken leg of the stern, opinionated, but thankful Dugan. Finding their canoes damaged and themselves stalked, they seek another way out of the valley. Watch MacGyvers a trap using the DVD player he brought, and together they manage to catch the animal (which seems to be a Bigfoot). Adam's dad realizes that the creature must be a dad itself, since there are smaller tracks next to the creature's tracks in the mud. They let the thing go. Laurel, having felt that Adam and his father were in danger, arrives with Sally to make sure they're safe - running across The Mayor who delivers a strange warning that Laurel shouldn't be there.
Episode 18
Gnome Alone
Sat, Apr 19, 201423 mins
Sally's parents go on an overnight antiquing getaway, leaving Sally home alone with a bunch of her mom's garden gnomes to take care of. The silent, terracotta statues take none too kindly to her accidentally breaking the biggest one of them (their king, as it turns out), stalking her around the house, around every corner, and in every room - basically tormenting her for the rest of the day. Unable to call Adam or Watch for help, she's trapped, but her two friends finally drop by in the evening to check in on her and get caught in the webs of the attacking gnomes, quite literally. With the help of a note left on her door in an ancient language, Sally finally realizes that it's because of the broken gnome she hid upstairs that she's encountering the wrath of the rest, so she ably retrieves the little guy and makes amends with his brethren, and cleans everything up again by the time her parents arrive home the next morning with a horrifying addition to the garden.
Episode 19
Oh Monster, My Monster
Sat, Apr 26, 201423 mins
While fleeing a bully at school, Watch falls into a sort of underground chamber. There he finds a man's body. With Adam off taking a driving test (his fifth), Watch returns with Sally, where they find, with the body, medical drawings by Victor Frankenstein. Once back in Watch's basement lab, he's able to bring this "man" back to life. The creature becomes Watch's friend and a sort of bodyguard at school, quickly dispensing with Jerome, the school bully, but the creature doesn't exactly fit in. He gets into trouble, and Officer Dugan comes to Watch's house looking for him. Watch realizes he must send his new friend off on his own. Since he has the coordinates of a female mate that has been evidently designed for the creature, he says goodbye. Plus, Watch can take care of his own bully problem. Meanwhile, despite Adam's strange driving instructor's obsession with death, he finally aces the test.
Episode 20
The Maze
Sat, May 3, 201423 mins
Adam, finally hearing from Watch and Sally what The Mayor said to his mom a few weeks ago, hunts him down, but The Mayor nimbly eludes them (till enticed with pie). The Mayor doesn't want to recall anything for them, afraid of some "her" finding out something-or-other. He scurries off into his box, with Watch and Adam close at his heels. Before Sally can follow, the box gets run over by a delivery van, yet Sally can still hear the boys in the flattened box. They seem to be in a portal of some kind, seeing The Mayor's old office from the '70s (and later a young couple dancing in Shadowmire). Sally, having gone to the real modern-day Springville mayor's office to try to meet up with the boys, finally catches The Mayor as he tries to flee another box and figures out that these are The Mayor's memories that the boys are trapped in. As the cardboard walls start caving in, they must all converge to The Mayor's old boyhood bedroom - his oldest memory - to rescue the boys (which just so happens to be Adam's modern-day bedroom).
Episode 21
Run
23 mins
As Adam and Laurel do a little shopping while Adam's dad is out of town, it seems some of Laurel's memory is returning. She sees Moorpark in town and freaks out, though. Back at Shadowmire, Moorpark tells Ann they need to get Laurel because she holds the key to getting Madeline back from the same plane the two were sent to. Ann runs to Adam's house to warn him and his mom. Laurel says she used to be best friends with Ann's mom, Angelique. They head out, with Watch and Sally, to get Laurel to the safety of an area of Springville with heavy copper concentration, which should shield them from the psychic powers of Moorpark and his minions, the Homunculi. Watch and Sally decide to go back, sneaking into Shadowmire to try to learn something about Moorpark's creatures from the library there. In the mountains, Laurel explains that Angelique began to scare her with her powers when they were young; so, when she stumbled upon the raven's eye, she hid it from Angelique, then switched colleges and moved away from Springville. When a Homunculi finds the threesome and attacks, Laurel inadvertently uses her own powerful magic to save Adam. That confuses everyone. Laurel tells how Angelique found her a couple years ago and blackmailed her, threatening to harm her family. At Shadowmire, Watch and Sally realize all of Ann's ancestors have Madeline's face, as if Madeline had managed to inhabit each of their bodies through time with her witchcraft. After they rescue Adam, Ann and Laurel from Moorpark and a Homunculi horde attack (with some high-pitched sounds through a boombox, which the Homunculi hate), they have a startling confrontation with Ann, who has known about Madeline's power all along - and that Laurel is not really Laurel. She has really been Madeline all this time.
Episode 22
Stone
23 mins
Adam wakes up from a nightmare - or has he woken up *into* a nightmare? Everything is twisted: He's the captain of the football team and running for student body president, Watch is a geek he never talks to, Sally is his ex-girlfriend (and a cheerleader), and Ann (or Annabeth, as she calls herself) is his girlfriend. He tries to find out why he's in this strange realm, but his "therapist" doesn't help - she's Madeline Templeton. She tells him that the stone he carries (the Raven's Eye) is his anchor in this "fantasy world" he's created since losing his mom two years ago, and that he should give up the stone to get healthy. When he can't seem to find any other answers as to why his world has taken this terrible turn, and he begins to believe that maybe this weird dream is his new reality, he almost does give the Raven's Eye to the therapist. Then at the last minute, he smashes the stone to bits and suddenly sees some creepy catacombs around him instead of the therapist's office. The real Watch and Sally appear and help him escape out of a tunnel. (Adam was carried away into this illusion by Madeline in her attempt to get the Raven's Eye from him, but now he's back in his real world again.) Ann has helped Watch and Sally rescue Adam from the illusion, but Adam calls her to task about lying to all of them all this time, from the start. Now Adam is even more determined to find his real mom. But wait - is that Ann secretly holding the Raven's Eye? How?
