* In "Health Scare," Malcolm and Reese sneak out to Tracy's party, with Malcolm putting a rubber zombie Halloween mask over a teddy bear to pass it off as himself sleeping in bed, while Reese draws a face on a big white balloon to pass off as himself. Hal, concerned that he has cancer, goes into the boys' room to apologize for Lois's resulting behavior and has a heartwarming speech, not knowing that the balloon and teddy bear zombie are not really Reese and Malcolm. But then when he wraps up with "Sleep well, my little angels" and leans over to kiss "Reese," the balloon loudly pops and Hal repeatedly ScreamsLikeALittleGirl, which wakes up Dewey, and he sees the zombie mask lying next to him and starts screaming as well.
