Hey Dude

Season #2

 Episode #1: Battle Of A Hundred Bucks – A generous guest leaves a generous tip of $1oo. The only problem is no one knows which “two helpful staff members” It’s for. Lucy declares a contest to decide who’s the most worthy. Mr. E. calls a meeting for the entire staff to train them in firefighting so they can hold a potential fire at bay, until the fire department arrives. Mr. E orders Buddy to turn on the hose which has a hole in it and squirts him in the face. Lucy calls Brad, Melody, Danny, and Ted together for a meeting. She has a note from a guest who checked out that states “see that the two kids who made my stay here so nice get this and have some fun with it.” The envelope contains a $100 bill. There isn’t any names mentioning the two kids. He didn’t leave a phone number or address so Lucy can’t reach him. Ted says it is his and Danny’s because they took the guest on a nature hike last week and this must be their tip. Brad says her and Mel babysat his kids while he was on the hike so the money, is for them. Lucy suggests splitting the money four ways, but the kids will have no part of that. They all agree that whoever comes up with the most fun way of spending the money (as determined by Lucy) will get to keep it. Danny wants to buy cowboy hats, but Ted says they need something more clever. Ted wants to throw a party, but then they realize they would have to invite Brad and Melody which would defeat the purpose of having won the money from them. Ted decides to spy on the girls and see what they are planning. They hear the girls talking and Brad suggests buying a cowboy hat as well, but Melody says it doesn’t sound fun enough. Melody suggests a party, but they realize they would have to invite the boys. Brad suggests spying on them. Ted and Danny race back to coral. Ted plans to say that the girls deserve the money that way they will stop thinking and whatever him and Danny suggest is sure to win. The girls sneak over and Ted pulls off his plan perfectly. Mr. E rings his fire bell and says if this would have been a real fire the ranch would have burned down. The kids practice aiming with the hoses and Melody goes to shoot Ted who moves out of the way and she hits Mr. E instead. Lucy comes by to judge the ideas. The boys idea is to have a painter come to the ranch to paint them. The girls are speechless because the boys pulled a fast one they only have the cowboy hat ideas. Lucy declares the boys the winners. The boys tell the girls they knew they were spying on them all along. Danny and Ted try to find a painter, but no one is willing to do their picture for $100. Buddy tells them that there are two artists staying at the ranch and he will talk to them and see if they will paint the picture. Buddy says they will need the money upfront so he takes the hundred and leaves. Danny and Ted are getting ready for the photo when Buddy says to follow them. He also states they have to wear togas for the photo and be blindfolded. The artists don’t want anyone to see them and if the boys don’t agree with their conditions they will not do the picture. The artists who are Brad and Melody throw a can of paint at them. Brad says since they painted them the money is theirs and they used it to buy the cowboy hats. Everyone starts fighting over the hats and Buddy suggests sharing them. They all agree to share the hats. Mr. E tries firefighting one more time, but once again he gets wet.

 Episode #3: Our Little Champion – Melody trains to become an Olympic champion. Can she handle the pressure? Melody’s swimming ability is called Olympic quality by a visiting coach. Mr. Ernst and the staff heap pressure on Melody to win and be their “Little Champion.” Melody decides to start training for the Olympics for swimming. Mr. Ernst of course sees a way to make money off this, and begins to exploit Melody to benefit the ranch. Ted and Danny ask Mr. Ernst for an advance in pay for upcoming dates. Mr. Ernst tells them no so they check his sofa and find ninety cents that fell out of Mr. E’s pockets while sleeping. The boys come to the pool looking for money. Ted tells Mel this girl would only go out with him if she got a date for her friend hence where Danny comes in. Ted confesses to Mel he didn’t actually see her friend. Melody saves a little girl’s life while lifeguarding. She notices that a man is staring at her and he quickly tells her that she’s a great swimmer and introduces himself as Coach Daniels. He asks her if he could time her for speed and she agrees. She does the test and the Coach is thrilled with her potential. He tells her and Mr. Ernst about a regional swim meet coming up in two weeks, and gives her a training schedule. Mr. Ernst is beside himself, plotting all the publicity they can create to get more business for the Bar None. Soon, Mr. Ernst puts up a big poster in the entry way saying, “Bar None Ranch, Home of Melody Hanson, Future Olympic Champion.” At the lake, the boys only have $1.48 in the date fund and they are getting desperate for money. Danny has his doubts because Ted refuses to tell him what his date looks like. Danny has visions of a six -foot seven East German woman. When they learn of Melody’s training, they sell personally autographed photos of Melody for $5.00 and T-shirts with her name and face for $8.00. They give tours of her bunk, and Ted even sells pieces of Melody’s salad for a dollar each. Melody soon tires of the training, having to get up at 5:00am, eating only salads, and having to swim 30 laps with only 3-minute breaks. She tells Brad she’s sick of it, but Brad only tries to push it off, saying she’s nervous. Melody tries to tell Mr. Ernst, but can’t because she knows how much he’s counting on her. On the morning of the meet, Melody talks to Ted, who is at the pool before anyone gets up to swim, and tells him of her doubts about competing. Sooner or later she will lose and then everyone will hate her… or so she thinks. Ted comforts her, telling her what a great person she is. Suddenly, in the midst of their conversation, the rest of the cast comes bubbling about the meet and all the rest soon to follow. Melody explodes into tears and runs off crying, refusing to go to the meet. The next day, Melody teaches the little girl to swim. The gang gives Melody their own version of the gold medal. Then Ted and Danny push her into the pool as an Olympic tradition. Finally, at the end, they both cancel the date, because the girls had a restaurant more expensive in mind than Ted had. They instead donate their money to the Olympic fund in Melody’s name.

 Episode #4: Bunkmate Battle –Tension builds among the boys and girls. Never a dull moment at the Bar None: Danny challenges Ted to go a week without using anything the Indians gave the white man – taco chips, barbecued ribs, soda pop, even the cotton his jeans are made of! Danny bets Ted that he can’t go a week without using Native American items. Brad moves out of the girls bunk into the lodge after a fight with Melody. Danny finds Ted on the front porch, pecking away on his typewriter. Ted tells Danny how he’s writing a little history lecture to tell the guests on rainy days. The problem is, much of his concepts are based on old west stereotypes, particularly the part about “the savage American Indian.” Danny, takes offense at that. Danny tries to enlighten Ted about all the positive contributions of the Indians, but Ted has his beliefs. Danny makes a bet with Ted: he can’t go a week without using things the Indians provided. Ted agrees. Danny starts by confiscating Ted’s just-opened chocolate bar. Meanwhile, Melody is preparing for her daily exercises. Her side of the bunk is especially messy today. Brad comes in to read, and she’s a little testy about Mel’s messiness. But Mel shrugs it off, switches on her Walkman, and starts counting out loud while she sweats to the oldies. Her counting gets louder and louder until Brad has to get up off her bed and yell into Melody’s face. The two start to argue, but before it gets out of hand, they grudgingly defuse the situation. They both resume their exercises and reading. On the trail, Ted pulls aside his riding party for a rest and pulls out some trail mix. Danny confiscates the whole bag and informs Ted that there’s nothing in it he can eat, because the Indians grew it all first. Later, Melody returns to her bunk and finds that Brad has arranged a schedule of activities. Melody is immediately resentful. Then she reads the schedule and really blows her top. Her “loud” activities are scheduled when she’s not even around. Mel furiously tears down the schedule and suggests a better idea. She strings a clothesline down the middle of the bunk and hangs a blanket between them. There, private bunks. Mel cranks on her boombox. Until Brad yanks out the plug. The only outlet is on her side of the bunk! They argue some more and Brad storms out of the bunk. Upset, Mel chases after her. Danny and Ted, back from the trail ride, are waiting in the food line. But as the chef starts filling Ted’s plate, Danny tells him that it’s barbecue, and, you guessed it, the Indians invented barbecue. And forget about the chips, hot sauce, corn on the cob, chili, and soda. Ted is thinking that Danny is really enjoying this! In the lodge, Mr. Ernst is on the phone peddling his ranch to a potential guest. Just as he promises the friendliness of the staff, Brad and Melody storm in, screaming that they hate each other. And from the other direction, Ted is ranting that he’s fed up with Danny’s watch dogging. Mr. Ernest gives up the pitch. Putting himself physically in the middle of the screaming kids, Mr. Ernst calls for order. He has the kids each their tell grievances, and after hearing them, Mr. Ernst decides the kids should creatively work out these problems themselves. But the kids start up their arguing again. Mr. Ernst gives up and hides away in his office. Brad tells Melody that she’s moving some of her things into the lodge, where she’s sleeping tonight. Danny and Ted tenuously agree to talk things over later at the coral. Then Buddy buddies up to Ted and offers him some popcorn. Ted’s grateful, but he has no appetite. Buddy cajoles Ted into just a little. Ted finally agrees. But just as he reaches for some, Buddy yanks the bag away telling Ted he can’t have any because Indians grew it. Ted angrily chases Buddy out of the lodge. Alone in her bunk, Mel is reveling in her freedom to do as she wants. Or she tries. She cranks up her radio and starts to boogie down. But it’s unfulfilling. So, she starts to exercise, counting out loudly. Instead of satisfaction, all she gets is a sore throat. So, Melody decides to mess up the room by throwing Brad’s clothes on the floor. All the while, Mel is talking to herself… out loud. She starts to delightfully chuck Brad’s framed pictures, until she discovers a photo of the two of them during happier times. It jolts her back to the reality of the situation. There’s a knock on the door and Brad pokes her head in. Brad admits to Mel that there’s such a thing as too much peace ad quiet. Mel admits that being loud and crazy isn’t fun without Brad to annoy. Brad tells Melody that she’s her best friend, even though she sometimes wants to kill her. They agree to make up. In the boys’ bunk, Ted has finally had his fill of the Indians inventing something. When Danny finally gets to cotton underwear, Ted explodes, thinking that Danny’s making half this stuff up. On the contrary, Danny rattles off many more things he’s never mentioned, ranging from breakfast foods to the U.S. Constitution. Ted is taken aback, wondering why he’s never heard of these before. Danny tells him it’s because non-Indians wrote the history books. Ted is gratefully enlightened. Back at the main lodge, Mr. Ernst is again on the phone, selling to a prospective guest. He hesitates when asked about the staffing, labeling them as “very spirited.” But the bickering pairs walk through the lodge by Mr. Ernst. Except they’re not bickering, in fact, they seem tighter than ever, laughing with each other and planning buddy activities. Mr. Ernst happily returns to his pitch. “Getting back to what I was saying about the staff. Let me tell ya, they’re the best reason there is to come to the Bar None.”

 Episode #5: Crash Landing – A small plane crashes on the Bar None Ranch. Why is the pilot acting so strange? When a plane crashes at the Bar None, Mr. Ernst, Ted and Buddy rescue the groggy pilot from the wreckage. Ted, Buddy and Mr. Ernst witness a small Cessna plane crash near the ranch. When they go to find the pilot, they get a little more than they bargained for. Mr. Ernst, Ted and Buddy are in the main courtyard installing a sprinkler system; even though the instructions clearly state: to be installed by professionals. Mr. Ernst claims it to be a conspiracy between plumbers and manufacturers. Then Mr. Ernst busts the hot water main with his pick ax. Ted hears a sputtering engine, then looks up to see a small airplane approaching. As it gets closer, it becomes obvious that it’s in trouble. The Cessna casts a shadow over them and disappears over the horizon with a crash. The men rush right over to the crash site. The plane is tipped nose first into the desert, with most of the doors blown over by its rough landing. Approaching the plane cautiously, they find the pilot, alive and conscious. But the pilot seemed more concerned about his lost bag than anything else. He stumbles out of the plane, finds his bag, then passes out. Mr. Ernst notes that the pilot is lucky he didn’t stumble or pass out into the nearby thirty-foot deep mine shaft. They bring the pilot back to the lodge. They lay him down on the coach while Mr. Ernst calls for an ambulance. But Buddy discovers stacks of cash in the pilot’s bag. Suddenly, the pilot awakens with his hand in his pocket. He points his “gun” at Ted, and forces Mr. Ernst to hang up the phone. The pilot then proceeds to tell the guys everything but his name. He even pulls out a recent newspaper article that recounts his own exploits as the bank robbing airplane bandit. The pilot landed his plane on Flagstaff’s Main Street, robbed the bank of $80,000 and then escaped in his plane. It turns out the robber ran out of gas on his way to Mexico. Meanwhile, Brad returns from her morning ride and meets up with Melody and Danny. They’re each looking for one of the missing staffers, since they’ve all been stood up. Resentfully, they figure out that they must be hiding out in Mr. Ernst’s air-conditioned office. Mr. Ernst has a panic attack in the mineshaft, having been in there for almost sixteen minutes. But they get their wits together and climb up each other’s shoulders to the top. Buddy makes it out and throws the rope down to his dad and Ted. Brad, Mel and Danny arrive at the lodge just in time to see the pilot retrieving his bag of cash. Mel tries to help him with his bag, but he’s obviously very possessive if it. The pilot claims he’s a guest, and that he’s settled up with Mr. Ernst and he’s on his way out. The pilot mentions that Mr. Ernst and his two kids went to feed the pigs (which they don’t have). Melody tries to be nice, but Brad and Danny are suspicious. Brad starts dialing the police, but the pilot returns and threatens them. He figures these meddling kids ought to join their friends in the mine shaft. At the mineshaft, Mr. Ernst jumps out from behind a bush and startles the pilot into the mine shaft. The gang gets a special commendation from the police. After paying the plumber $200, Mr. Ernst finally gets the sprinklers installed. He checks his watch, and the sprinklers fire up on cue. As he watches his handiwork from the office window, the sprinklers jam up and shoot high velocity spray right into his office.

 Episode #6: The kids tell ghost stories. It’s a rainy night at the Bar None and the kids entertain themselves by trying to scare the wits out of each other. The kids tell ghost stories in attempt to frighten each other. Ted challenges the other kids to scare him. Its nighttime and stormy at the Bar None, and the kids are playing Pictionary. Ted is angry because Buddy and Danny can’t guess his drawing and they lose to the girls. Melody suggests telling ghost stories. Brad says she hates ghost stories because she is never scared. Melody goes first and tells a story that Brad heard. Brad says she heard them all and it didn’t scare her the first time either. Ted says maybe she doesn’t get scared because their just stories, but if she heard something that really happened it would be different. Ted says he knows a real horror story, one he wishes he didn’t. Ted says in 1863 his grandfather Jack was working in a saw mill and they had very poor working conditions. Multiple people were losing body parts and his grandfather wanted change. To teach him a lesson the mill owners cut his right hand off. The owners were found strangled. Jack was the prime suspect except that the killer used his right hand, which Jack didn’t have. Ted says the hand kept killing and its been passed down from youngest son to youngest son and he’s the youngest son. Ted shows them the hand and Brad says it is a fake, but she is reluctant to touch it. She finally does and he grabs her and she screams. Brad says it isn’t funny and Ted tells her it wasn’t supposed to be it was supposed to be scary. Brad vows to scare him. Ted says it is impossible he’s been hearing and telling ghost stories since he was 8. Ted returns to his bunk and lies down. Danny reaches his hand up and grabs Ted’s throat. Brad comes through the door wearing a hockey mask and carrying a hand saw. Ted doesn’t flinch. Ted says she confused Freddy, Jason and the guy from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. At the breakfast table, Ted finds a glass eye in his cereal bowl. He says he loves that gag, but that’s the problem it’s just a gag. It’s funny not scary. He says its just startling someone. He says to really scare someone create an atmosphere that is real and put in a twist at the end. Mel wants to give up, but Brad will have none of it. Ted comes to the girls’ bunk because Mel wants to speak with him. Mel asks him if he’s heard any stories about a headless cowboy. A cowboy found a family murdered at a ranch so he rode into town, but the Sheriff didn’t believe him and the cowboy was accused of the crime. They cut his head off and the cowboy now rides through the desert looking for a new head. Melody takes cover to show Brad’s head covered in blood. Ted begins clapping and laughing. Ted tells them to give up and leaves. Mr. E tells Ted a horror story about the previous owner of the Bar None. He went insane because all of his employees were too busy trying to scare each other they didn’t get their chores done. Lucy tells Ted and Mr. E a story. A hundred years ago, they found everyone on the ranch dead in their beds and all the doors and windows were locked from the inside. The mystery was never solved. Mr. E tells Ted to put the tools away in case it rains. It is another stormy and rainy night. Ted is awake and hears a banging noise. He calls for Danny, but he isn’t in his bed. He opens the door, but he doesn’t see anything. He calls for everyone to come out, but no one does. He checks under the bed and in his trunk, but no one is in there. Ted tells them they win, but no one comes out. He remembers Lucy’s story and figures out the killers must have come through the doors. He hears a noise under the floors and goes to run out and finds Mr. E. He screams not to kill him. Lucy comes in and says she shouldn’t have told him that story. Lucy says the noise was the rake he left outside when he was supposed to put the tools away and the sound under the floor was her putting the hose away. Lucy says Danny and Brad are putting tarps over the hay. Danny and Brad come in and tease Ted about being afraid of a rake. Brad says Ted was right. They couldn’t scare Ted, the only one that could do that was Ted himself. Ted pops out of the water trough dressed like a mummy, but no one is scared. Brad tells him he confused The Mummy with the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

 Episode #7: Teacher’s Pest – Ted’s English teacher visits the Bar None Ranch. Ted wants to crawl away and hide when his English teacher comes to stay at the Bar None. Ted’s English teacher visits the Bar None and falls for Mr. Ernst. Buddy and Ted plot to get them apart. Brad has to decide whether to stay at the ranch or join her parents in France. At poolside, Brad tells Melody that she received a letter from her parents who want her to join them in France. Brad doesn’t really want to leave, but Mel is surprised that she really has doubts about leaving. Brad says she belongs here. She’d miss everyone, even Ted. Just then Ted and Danny jump off the diving board soaking Brad who is nearby. The girls make fun of Ted who is ready comic books, but he claims he doing research that way he’ll be in touch with Buddy when he asks him for advice. Ted’s English teacher, “Old Lady Andrews” as he likes to call her arrives. Ted questions why she is here. She tells Ted she won on a raffle ticket and the grand prize was a weekend at the Bar None. She spots Mr. E and Ted tells her he is the owner of the Bar None. Miss Andrews seems intrigued. Buddy and Danny come by and Ted Tells Miss Andrews that they are his junior staff. All three leave. Mr. Ernst and Miss Andrews lock eyes and Mr. E who is working the grill is so out of it that he ignores Melody who is nearby. Mr. Ernst finds Ted cleaning up at the barn and pumps him for more information on Miss. Andrews. Mr. Ernst mentions that she is an attractive lady. Outside the bunkhouse, Ted is telling Danny and Buddy that nothing is safe anymore. Danny thinks Ted is talking about food, but Ted says he is talking about Miss Andrews. Buddy states that she doesn’t seem too bad. Ted says with her here he can’t be himself and since she thinks Mr. Ernst is a hunk she’ll probably stick around the entire summer. In the words of Buddy “that woman is history.” At the pool, Ted can’t believe Miss. Andrews is wearing a bathing suit. Mr. Ernst comes by and Miss. Andrews tells him to call her Annie. She starts flirting with Mr. Ernst while Buddy and Ted watch in disbelief. In front of the coral, Melody tells Ted and Danny that Brad’s parents are making her come with them to France, but she wants to stay at the ranch. Ted wonders why she would choose the Bar None over France maybe because of him. Melody wants everyone to write letters saying how much Brad is needed at the ranch and she will send them to Brad’s parents and maybe they will let her stay. They agree to write letters. Danny leaves to help Melody at the pool. Buddy comes by and asks Ted if he’s seem Miss. Andrews. Ted says his father took her on a trail ride. Buddy doesn’t understand why they are spending so much time together. Buddy has new cowboy boots that his father bought and he has to soften them up with saddle soap. Ted says he has a plan to solve the “Miss. Andrews problem.” Ted and Buddy are watching Mr. Ernst and Annie getting to know one another. They go their separate ways, but not before Mr. Ernst gets his foot stuck in a bucket. Buddy “bumps” into Miss. Andrews and tells her he is really busy. He has to break in his father’s new cowboy boots. Miss. Andrews volunteers to do it so Buddy tells her the “correct way”. You dunk the boots in lots of mud, boil them in water, and lay them in the sun all day. Buddy signals to Ted that the plan went perfectly. Brad spots Miss. Andrews making mud to dunk Mr. Ernst’s boots in. Annie tells her that Buddy told her the entire breaking in technique. We cut to Mr. Ernst in his office and a really muddy looking pair of boots on his desk and Miss. Andrews sitting nearby. He calls Ted and Buddy into his office. He says that his only son has taken it upon himself to embarrass one of the guests with the help of one of the staff. Buddy confesses that he tricked Miss. Andrews. Mr. Ernst asks why he did it. Ted says he had a hard time seeing Miss. Andrews as a regular person. He said at the Bar None he is Ted-Senior Staff and with her there he felt like he was back in high school. Buddy says he got confused because his dad liked her and he already has a mom. Mr. Ernst says the Bar None is an opportunity for everyone to make new friends. Miss. Andrews is a like a new friend and even though he and Buddy’s mother aren’t together she’ll always be his mom. Mr. Ernst laughs at the boots on the desk and says he found those in the barn. His new boots are safe because one of Ted’s coworkers stopped Miss. Andrews from ruining them. He says Ted should thank her because she saved his job. Ted thanks Brad for stopping Miss. Andrews, but Brad denies it was her. That night, Brad tells Melody that her parents called and said she doesn’t have to go with them. She tells Melody that she knows the letters were her idea. Brad states she is surprised that even Ted wrote a letter.

 Episode #8: Treasure Teens – When Ted finds clues leading to a treasure, he and the other kids turn the Bar None upside down searching for loot. Cleaning out the garbage in the back, Ted finds a map to a buried treasure. Ted finds a treasure map, and causes a stir on the ranch when the staff tries to find it. Mr. Ernst is outside trying to paint a sign that points to the craft hut, but is interrupted by Danny. Then Brad interrupts him. She leaves and Ted and Melody interrupt him. Mr. Ernst starts yelling that he doesn’t need any help. Melody gives him a flower which makes him sneeze messing up the sign. Cleaning out the garbage in the back, Ted finds an old map. He brings it over to Lucy. He reads the cryptic clues to her. “On Bar None ground, I write these clues. You won’t believe your eyes. Where many feet travel but no one walks, I’ve hidden a surprise. When sunlight shines on Cactus Flat, Take steps of even measures. Start beneath the gilded steps. Count three and find my treasure!” Ted’s rich! He’s found the treasure, or, as Lucy reminds him, the map to find the treasure. But Lucy isn’t even very sure of that. She tells Ted that note could be who knows how old. The treasure, if it existed, may have been found long ago. Maybe the whole thing is a joke. In any event, Lucy reminds Ted that has chores to do, and he shouldn’t waste his time or anybody else’s on a wild goose chase. She firmly tells Ted to drop the subject. But dropping it isn’t in Ted’s nature. He’s shown the map to the other kids. They’re a little skeptical, but Ted tells them the clues must be genuine because of its age. Brad, of course, is the hold out. To her it’s just a smelly piece of paper. But Danny points out that somebody worked very hard to make the poem. Melody’s excited by the puzzle mystery. Ted cuts them in. They balk at the 10%, so Ted gives in and gives them all equal shares. But Brad remains unconvinced. First, why would anybody write stupid clues like that? And why bury money when you can spend it instead? Brad chastises them for thinking there’ll be jewels or ancient treasure, when in fact there is no treasure. Brad’s out. Don’t ask her to dig any holes in the desert. “Guys, don’t quit now!” Brad has caught gold fever, and she’s furiously excavating a pit with her shovel. The other kids are lying around, thrown aside in frustration. But Brad has visions of jewels and ancient coins in swimming in her head. Danny and Mel say give it up. They’ve been digging for hours with no luck. Even Ted admits that the idea was pretty stupid. Buddy happens onto the scene and after seeing the damage they’ve done, he makes a joke about digging for treasure. Buddy offers his help as a “great detective”. Because everybody else is tired of digging, they agree to cut him in for an equal share of the loot. They let their new partner start by filling in all the holes. Mr. Ernst calls Ted to the office. Mr. Ernst asks Ted to take some cartons out to the trash so he can resume his sign painting. But when Mr. Ernst leaves, Ted notices that he forgot his paintbrush. Chasing after him, he trips on the floor and bangs into some gold horseshoes nailed on the wall. He picks up one that has fallen onto the floor, and he’s about to angrily throw it out the door. Suddenly, Ted realizes what he is holding in his hands. A golden horseshoe. Could it be a gilded step? He turns around and sees a cactus tapestry. Of course! A cactus woven onto fabric is “Cactus Flat!” Now the last part. “Where many feet travel but no one walks”… under the floor! Ted has figure it out. The treasure is buried beneath the floor I Mr. Ernst’s office! Back in the boys’ bunk! Ted convinces the others that he has solved the puzzle. Melody suggests telling Mr. Ernst, but Ted balks at that idea. Danny and Brad think that it’s only fair. After all, it is his office. But Ted tells them all how Mr. Ernst loves publicity. He’ll call in the media, and then donate all their loot to some museum. Since Mr. Ernst is already outside, they decide that now is the time to act. Ted and Danny will do the digging and it’s up to the rest to keep the boss out of the office. Outside, Mr. Ernst is set to get going. But his paint can is empty. Grumbling, he starts back to his office. Buddy frantically intercepts and tells him he has to look at the… cactus! After some desperate stalling, Mr. Ernst tells Buddy the cactus is fine and heads for his office. Then Brad tries to distract Mr. Ernst by asking if she can switch chores with Danny, and so on and so forth. Mr. Ernst doesn’t really care. He’s more interested in the sawing noises he’s hearing. Melody stops Mr. Ernst from going into the office by trying to confuse him. She talks in circles, saying that it’s easier to see outside. Mr. Ernst pets impatient, and when he hears a buzz saw, he makes a move for the door. He finds Ted and Danny sitting in his office. Ted is “playing” the handsaw, and Danny is keeping beat by snapping his fingers. They fool Mr. Ernst into thinking his musical skill is legitimate. Ted must practice in Mr. Ernst’s office because, until recently, most people found his saw music annoying. Mr. Ernst tells the kids to clear out of his office. But the distraction seems to have worked. Mr. Ernst can’t remember why he even came to his office. Encouraged by the kids, he leaves the office to retrace his steps. As soon as he leaves, Ted hurriedly pulls up the floorboards and pulls out an old steel box. He lifts the lid to reveal… Poetry. Mr. Ernst pokes his head into the office and tells the kids those are his poems. He writes them to relax at night. He wrote the clues thinking it would be nice if someone someday read them, but he changed his mind and threw them away. The kids all apologize, but Buddy is distraught that his dad writes poetry. Mr. Ernst comes up with some creative punishment. As Ted refills the holes, he and the other kids are tasked with writing a poem of their own.

Her father wants to make sure that she feels okay about Alison’s disappearance, but Aria sees through his questions and reassures him that she’s “still keeping his secret.” After dropping her brother off at lacrosse tryouts, Aria heads to a Bar and Grill, where she meets Ezra – who is about to start a teaching job. He assumes that she is a college student and she tells him that she’s leaning towards a major in English. The two feel an instant connection and it isn’t long before they are kissing on the bathroom counter. In the next scene, Hanna is shopping for sunglasses with former-dork Mona. Hanna sees Spencer across the mall and tells the salesman she’ll “be right back”, and runs off to catch up with her friend still wearing a pair of sunglasses. She and Mona eventually leave the mall with their steals, a scarf and Hanna’s sunglasses. Aria’s father is dropping her off at school, where he tells her that he still loves her mom and hopes she’ll forgive him. We see a flashback in which Alison and Aria are trying to escape Mona’s pursuit and they catch Aria’s father having an affair with another woman in his car. Back in the present, Aria is greeted by Emily. The two walk into their English room where Aria realizes that the Ezra from the Bar and Grill is their new teacher. They awkwardly stare at each other for a few moments before he comes to his senses and introduces himself as Mr. Fitz. Aria receives a text message reading “Aria: Maybe he fools around with students all the time. A lot of teachers do. Just ask your dad. –A.

In the next scene, Emily and her mother are talking about Aria’s return and Alison’s disappearance. They notice that there are people moving into Alison’s old house and Emily brings a welcome basket to her new neighbors. The new girl’s name is Maya St. Germain, and she introduces Emily to weed.

Spencer has just finished converting the barn to a loft, and she’s excited to move in for her junior year – but her sister, Melissa has just arrived with her fiancée Wren, and she claims that as a couple, the two need their privacy.

Aria goes into the English room to talk to Mr. Fitz. She’s interested in continuing their relationship, but he tells her that everything has changed now that he’s her teacher and he walks away. Emily is walking Maya home and tells her the whole story of Alison. The two share an almost kiss – and later that day, when Emily gets out of swim practice, she finds a note in her locker that reads “Hey Em! I’ve been replaced – you’ve found another friend to kiss! –A”

Back at the Hastings household, Wren has just gotten out of the Jacuzzi and asks Spencer if she has a towel. The two discuss her field hockey practice and his running team at Oxford before he offers to massage her shoulders to get rid of the aching. Melissa soon shows up though, and they quickly break apart. Later, Spencer looks out her window to see Wren and Melissa moving into the barn – and she receives an email that reads “Poor Spencer. Always wants Melissa’s boyfriends. But remember, if you kiss I tell. –A”. We see a flashback in which Melissa brings home a different boyfriend, Ian, and Alison threatens to tell her that Spencer kissed Ian. Spencer tells her that if she tells her sister anything, she’ll tell everyone the truth about “the Jenna thing.” Spencer looks out the window to see a flash of blonde hair and thinks that it’s Alison.

Emily and Aria are sitting on a porch swing talking about the mysterious notes they’ve received from “A”. They suspect that it’s Alison sending the notes, but they can’t reveal the things that were written in them. Hanna and her mother are sitting down to dinner when Hanna receives a text message from Spencer that reads “WE NEED TO TALK!!!” The doorbell rings and it’s the police – with video footage of Hanna stealing the sunglasses from the mall. They take her and her mother to the police station, where her mother talks to the officer. Hanna is about to take a handful of candies sitting on the table next to her when she receives a text message that reads “Be careful, Hanna. I hear prison food makes you fat.-A”. Hanna’s mom takes her to their car and gives her a talking-to, explaining that Rosewood is a small town and that she can’t afford to ruin her reputation. She tells her to deny that she did anything wrong because she will take care of it for her.

Emily goes to Maya’s house and Maya tells her that Alison’s body was found. Spencer, Hanna, and Aria stand together as Hanna reaffirms that they made a promise to keep “the Jenna thing” a secret. Later that night, Hanna is at home watching the news when she sees her mother enter the house with the police officer that showed up earlier. She appears to be sleeping with him in return for his silence about Hanna’s crime.

The next day is Alison’s funeral, and Aria is looking out the window when Ezra shows up. He apologizes for being a jerk to her and she tells him that she doesn’t want to get him in trouble. As she walks away, he grabs her arm and kisses her.

The four girls are sitting together in the front row at Alison’s funeral, and they realize that all four of them have received messages from “A”. They turn around and see Jenna, who is blind, being led into a seat. Mrs. DeLaurentis explains that she didn’t know that Jenna and Alison were friends and Spencer tells her that they weren’t. Emily, Spencer, Aria and Hanna are approached by a detective when they leave the funeral, who tells them that because the case has changed from a missing person to a murder, he needs go over each of their statements from a year ago to find out what happened to Alison. It is obvious that they are hiding something. The episode ends with all four girls receiving the same text, which they read out loud, “I’m still here, bitches. And I know everything. –A”

American Horror House

Episode #1: Welcome to Briarcliff

The second season opens at Briarcliff Manor, a notorious insane asylum home to the deranged serial killer, Bloody Face. Inside this “sanctuary of healing” are terrifying evils that confuse reality and insanity. After a life-changing experience, a young man is admitted into a notorious insane asylum, while a local reporter is determined to get the full story. Briarcliff, a former tuberculosis hospital, is now an insane asylum run by the Catholic Church. The year is 1964, and the asylum houses some seriously disturbed individuals. The day to day administrator is Sister Jude Martin who works under the general supervision of the director Monsignor Timothy Howard. Her chief nemesis however is their in-house medical officer, Dr. Arthur Arden, who is frequently seeing patients in the night – patients who die and are disposed of immediately. Briarcliff’s latest patient is Kit Walker, A.K.A. Bloody Face, an accused serial killer of several young women is unable to stand trial due to insanity. Sister Jude is tough as journalist Lana Winters learns when she starts poking around the place. Now: Newlyweds Leo and Teresa are touring the most haunted spots in America and visit Briarcliff Manor on the East Coast. The building was constructed in 1908 as a tuberculosis ward and was then purchased by the Catholic Church and used as a sanitarium. Leo remembers that the most famous resident was Bloody Face, a serial killer. The couple finds the shock theater and Leo playfully straps Teresa in. They begin to have sex but Teresa hears something. They go to investigate and hear noises coming from behind a closed cell door. Leo opens the cell window and extends Teresa’s cell phone through to provide light, and he sees something move on the screen. Before he can withdraw his arm, the thing inside grabs it and pulls it off. 1964: Kit Walker is closing up the gas station where he works for the night. A gang of local thugs, led by Bill, sneak in, startling Kit. He threatens to shoot them with his gun and Billy tells him that they’re going after a black man who messed with a friend’s sister. Kit refuses to go with them or loan them his gun. As he goes, Billy takes a chocolate bar and comments that Kit has a new maid, and then leaves with his friends. Kit goes home to where his new black wife, Alma, is cooking supper. He wants to tell everyone that they’re married but she warns him that the world isn’t ready to hear about interracial marriages. They go to the bedroom to make love. Afterward, Alma goes back to the kitchen and Kit hears something moving outside. The radio bursts into static and Kit grabs a shotgun and goes to investigate, figuring that it’s Billy and the others. When he gets outside, a bright light shines down from the sky. Alma screams for help and Kit turns inside, and a vast noise slams down on him, deafening him and knocking him to the floor. It stops and Kit starts to get up, but some force picks him up, slams him into the ceiling, and then drops him. Sometime later, reporter Lana Winters visits Briarcliff to do a story about the bakery run by Sister Jude. As Lana goes inside, a young patient, Pepper, tries to play with her. Sister Mary Eunice comes out and tells Pepper to leave Lana alone. She warns the reporter that Pepper sliced her baby sister’s ears off and tried to drown her, and then leads Lana up to Sister Jude’s office. Jude is busy shaving the hair off of a girl, Shelley. The nun stops when they enter and tells Mary Eunice to knock next time. She lets Shelley go with only some of her hair shaved off, but Shelley says that Jude can’t make her ashamed of what she’s done. As Mary Eunice takes Shelley to the common room, Jude tells Lana that Shelley has been diagnosed as a nymphomanic but she believes that the girl simply suffers from the sin of lust. Lana discusses the bakery and Jude explains that Monsignor Timothy Howard was the one who created the bakery and has even more plans for Briarcliff. Mary Eunice bursts back in and tells Jude that the bad person will be arriving in a few minutes.

Lana realizes that the person who she really came to see, Bloody Face, is being brought here. She reminds Jude that the killer decapitated three women and that the community wants to know about him. Jude realizes that Lana isn’t there to talk about the bakery, and orders her out. Lana begs for a few minutes with the killer and Jude tells her that the authorities have sentenced Bloody Face to Briarcliff for observation until he’s fit to stand trial. Everyone goes outside and watches as the prison guards bring in the killer: Kit. He’s taken inside, showered, deloused, and drugged unconscious. Later, Jude comes to see him. He insists that he didn’t kill any one but the nun tells him that he will repent before God. Kit claims that the little green men abducted him but Jude says that he’s the only monster and asks if Alma died as easily as the white girls. When he spits on her she takes out a crop and beats him.

The orderlies take Kit to the common room and Shelley approaches him, offering sex. He tells her to get away and starts to smash the record player, which is endlessly playing a French tune. One patient, Grace, comes over and warns him not to do it or he’ll get more lashes. As she assures Kit that she’s not crazy, another patient, Spivey, comes over and taunts Kit about Alma’s death. Kit attacks him and the two men fight until Jude and the orderlies arrive to break it up. Kit insists that he didn’t start the fight but Jude has the orderlies beat him and haul him away. Kit wakes up later in solitary, in a straitjacket. Grace arrives and slips some food to him through the slot, and explains that she got to him by volunteering for kitchen detail. She offers Kit a cigarette and says that she’s being nice to him because she hopes it will come back to him. Kit wonders what she did to get sent to Briarcliff and Grace tells him that they claimed she chopped up her family. She says that she didn’t do it and asks if he killed Alma, and Kit says he didn’t do it. When he says that he’s sane, Grace warns him that’s the worst thing to be because they’ll treat him far worse. She leaves put promises to come back if she can.

Jude finds Mary Eunice in tears and the young nurse explains that Willie has disappeared since Dr. Arthur Arden has taken the patient to the medical wing. The older nun goes to see Arden in his lab and conservatory and demands to see Willie. Arden refuses, saying that Howard gave him a free hand with his medical experiments. He shows Jude his plant, which he has created by bombarding it with gamma rays. Jude insists that she needs to know what is happening to the patients so that she can manage Briarcliff, and Arden tells her that Willie and three other patients in his care died. He then had the bodies cremated, but Jude finds it convenient that none of them had any families to miss them. She promises to find out what he’s doing and bring him up on charges.

Lana goes to the apartment that she shares with her lover, local teacher Wendy Paisa. The reporter discusses the story she thinks she can write about Briarcliff but both women agree that her editor will never publish it. Lana plans to pursue it and Wendy assures her that she’ll give her the time to pursue it. As they start to kiss, Wendy reminds Lana to close the blinds for fear that someone might see them. Once they do so, Lana tells Wendy that everything she does is because Wendy loves her.

Jude is in the kitchen making a special meal and praying. She then applies perfume to herself and serves supper to Monsignor Howard. They discuss Arden and Howard says that it’s a new era of science, which comes from God, and that their superiors have vouched for Arden. Howard compliments Jude on the food and then tells her that he wants Briarcliff to become so renowned that he can parley it into a promotion to Cardinal of New York so that he can ultimately become Pope. He promises Jude that she will be with him all the way, and Jude imagines making love to the Monsignor.

Arden summons Mary Eunice to his chambers and they listen to growling noises outside. He tells her that they need some meat and the weather is changing, and sends Mary Eunice out with buckets of meat. She sets them down and something emerges from the bushes and the nun runs back to Briarcliff. Lana is waiting for her and asks what is in the woods, but Mary Eunice says that they have to go immediately and leads her into the house. Kit tires to eat what food he can but is interrupted when Arden comes in. The doctor injects Jit with a sedative and tells him that he shouldn’t be in a cell when there is so much to learn.

Now

Teresa stops the bleeding as best as she can and realizes that Leo’s phone is missing and hers is in the cell. She runs to the outside doors only to discover that someone has chained them shut. Desperate, Teresa finally locates a door but it leads her into the tunnels beneath the Manor.

1964

Mary Eunice leads Lana into the tunnels beneath the Manor and ignores her reporter’s questions. The reporter blackmails her into giving her time to look around in return for her silence to Jude about what Mary Eunice has been up to, and the nun agrees to help.

Arden takes Kit to his operating theater and explains that he runs the place and Jude doesn’t. He assures Kit that Jude is powerless to do anything with him because they live in a time of science, and secures Kit’s head with a harness. He apologizes for what comes next because he can’t use an anesthetic because it interferes with his readings. Mary Eunice leads Lana to the men’s ward, sneaking by Jude on her nightly patrols. Spivey calls out to them from his cell and throws excrement on Mary Eunice. Sobbing, she runs off after telling Lana to stand still. However, the reporter ignores her and goes on into the men’s ward. An orderly emerges from the empty cell where he was having sex with Shelley and asks what Lana is doing there. She blackmails him, promising not to tell Jude what he’s been doing, and the orderly quickly leaves. When Shelley comes out, Lana asks her where Bloody Face is and Shelley says that Lana can find him in solitary. Jude enters the ward and Shelley runs off while Lana hides in the empty cell, avoiding detection.

Arden tells Kit that he is trying to find evil in the occipital lobes. The doctor proudly shows off the ten brains that he has in jars but admits that the evil within them pales compared to what is in Kit’s mind. He activates his machinery and Kit finds himself naked in a white voice. Alma appears briefly, begging him for help, and then fades away. While Kit hallucinates, Arden examines him and finds a hard lump in his neck. He cuts open the skin and finds a small black hexagonal chip. As the doctor stares at it, it sprouts filament legs and runs away.

When Lana opens the window to Kit’s cell, something grabs her.

The next morning, Jude calls Mary Eunice in and warns her that she’s putting their plans at risk. The younger nun is sobbing and Jude wonders if she made a poor decision by choosing not see Mary Eunice’s stupidity. Mary Eunice takes out Jude’s largest crop and offers herself for a beating, calling herself stupid. The older nun tells her to get out and warns her that if she ever hears Mary Eunice call herself stupid, she will beat her. When Lana wakes up, she finds herself in traction in a bed. Jude is at her side and tells her that she had an attack. Lana insists that someone attacked her but the nun dismisses it as errant imagination. The reporter warns that people know where she is and demands to be released, but Jude, unconcerned, says that she will be spending her long recovery with them.

Earlier, Jude goes to Wendy’s house and threatens the teacher with the exposure of her lesbian affair. After making sure that Lana is not in touch with her family, Jude tells Wendy to sign commitment papers as a respected member of the community. Wendy refuses at first but finally caves.

Jude shows Lana the commitment papers and assures her that they will soon cure her of her homosexuality. As Jude leaves, smiling in satisfaction, Mary Eunice gives her a ring of keys and apologizes for stealing. Jude uses them to go into the chamber that Arden is currently using. The walls are covered in scratches and he’s disinfecting everything, but denies that anything was living there. Jude warns him that she will expose him for what he is but Arden simply takes the keys and walks away.

Now

While Leo lies on the floor in shock, Teresa runs down the tunnel only to find Bloody Face blocking her path.
