* TwoLinesNoWaiting: The main plot has Molly having trouble asking Ollie to be her boyfriend (with Scratch and Libby helping out) and the b-plot has Darryl and June make Scratch’s ectoplasm come to life. Both plots come together when Molly and Ollie notice Junior roaming around Brighton and sucking all the electricity and Junior shrinks back to normal size (along with gaining intelligence) and makes a speech of how you don’t need some GrandRomanticGesture to show someone you want to go out with him. This encourages the two to tell each other about their feelings, become an OfficialCouple and restore the power back to Brighton.

With Libby and Scratch backing her up, Molly tries to finally confess her feelings to Ollie, but she is just too tongue-tied-- and none of her friends' elaborate attempts work. Meanwhile, June and Darryl inadvertantly bring some of Scratch's ectoplasm to life after a science experiment gone wrong-- and things get worse when it starts eating any electricity it can find.

* GrandRomanticGesture: Parodied and deconstructed; Libby and Scratch try to help Molly ask Ollie out with a grandiose gesture (even getting a musical number about it), but all their efforts fail in some way. Molly eventually decides that sometimes it's better to just be straightforward with your feelings without dressing them up.


Added DiffLines:

* SignsOfDisrepair: Scratch and Libby set up a display of balloons spelling out the phrase "OLLIE WILL YOU BE MY BOYFRIEND?" Thanks to Scratch agitating a woodpecker, the display gets damaged so that it reads "OLLIE YOU FIEND".
