3	* "Undertaking Palor" has one of the most unambiguously happy endings in the series, with a ''Goonies''-esque band [[note]]As a ShoutOut to the movie, Jonathan Ke Quan aka Data stars in the episode[[/note]] of teen friends coming together to take down a murderous duo. The epilogue reveals that all but one of them became lawyers.

She gives away her last wish on the Monkey's Paw to her sister... but she never specified ''which'' sister.
