** In the second episode, Jack O'Lantern goes on a rampage causing explosions up and down the street, while people at a cupcake stand in line simply watching. When the flaming remains of a mailbox land crushing the table with all the cupcakes and pastries, with utterly no one reacting, even Emily (who has just placed her order) the seller says in a completely bored voice that he's out of everything.
