** Molly gets unnerved when her plushies suddenly seem to move around on their own. She tentatively reaches to grab one, then it cuts to Pango saying, "Boo!" Fittingly, she's currently teaching her pupils what a JumpScare is.

Mortified usually means embarrassed. Horrified would work better in this sentence.


** When Molly calls Darryl about the spider, she is mortified to learn that it's about to give birth to hundreds -- no, ''thousands'' -- of babies.

* AffablyEvil: Pango acts just like an elementary school teacher who approaches the course material with an enthusiastic tone. This doesn't change the fact that she's perfectly fine with whoever fails being banished into the Flow of Failed Phantoms, even shoving in a distraught ghost ''after'' pulling saying "at least you tried."

* TemptingFate: Scratch convinces Geoff to skip the seminar with him by saying that, since every seminar is the same, there's no problem for as long as they're back on time for the head count at the end. They're back on time but, instead of a simple head count as usual, every ghost at the seminar will have to perform in front of the Chairman to avoid being sent to the Flow of the Failed Phantoms. Right after Scratch says it won't be so bad with Geoff being banished with him, Geoff does a good enough performance to avoid banishment.

* SayingTooMuch: Scratch tries to shush Geoff when he says Scratch has "a whole new way of dealing with humans", understandably worried the Chairman will find out he's been fraternizing with Molly and her family.



* SureLetsGoWithThat: The ghosts see Molly freaking out in her bedroom, moaning "How could you do this to me, Scratch?!" The ghosts assume it was from Scratch scaring the crap out of her, and not her freaking out about being left alone to face Heidi Hairylegs by herself. Scratch rolls with it, since the misconception is the only thing keeping him out of the Flow of Failed Phantoms.

** Geoff and Scratch are understandably worried when the teacher announces they'll be doing something differently this year for the seminar. They're downright terrified when they're told they have to demonstrate what they've learned from the seminar (the same one they just skipped) in front of the Chairman, or get banished to the Flow of Failed Phantoms.
